PCC 3.0 Lessons Learned.... - Page 2 - The DIS Discussion Forums

mytripsandraces · 07-16-2012, 06:47 PM

I wasn't on PCC 3.0, but I did this on PCC 2.0. Bring a flat-rate postage box (or 2) with the correct postage and mail extra stuff home without having to go to a post office. Just leave the box with the concierge at your hotel. The Dolphin has a business center that posts packages, but I don't know if they sell postage. If you're going straight to the airport, there's a little postal service area there, but I don't know if they have a drop box that's big enough for packages.

I used the document-sized medium box to send home my navigators and other flat paper items from the cruise, along with everything else I could cram into the box. I was even able to send home my souvenir coconut and pirate cups in it, as well as my pins, lanyard, books, etc.

No wonder you had no issues.

I eventually did this too....never locked myself out though.

Motel 6 will leave the light on for you.

We used our Costco card. We just pulled it up a bit when we were all leaving for a bit.

Thought of another one - actually from the wonderful gift basket we all received. The message board for the cabin door is very useful if sailing with others, or planning on splitting up for part of the day.

We're getting closer to PCC 4.0 so I thought I would bump this for the benefit of others.

Did you ship your coconut bra home this way too?

No, I wore it home on the plane. Getting through security was a breeze!
