May Med Magic - May 15 2010 - Meet thread - Part 2

[tripodjw]

Welcome back cruisers

Here's the part 2 thread ready for carryng on where we left off.

Old thread can be found here

So not long to go. Who wants to place a bet on how many pages we fill over the next few days before we cruise? In fact I'll throw in a little treat for whomever guesses closest (to the page number as of when i wake up on Sat 15 May).

The next two posts - i'll drop in roll call and FE lists as i won't be able to go back and edit these on the original thread once it is closed (i don't think so anyway).

Just dragging info over to make it ok for updating:

WOOOAH! Part two!

DS and I were talking about the cruise on the way to school this morning. He told me he was so excited he couldn't stop laughing and he thought his heart would burst. He laughed the whole 30 minute drive to school! I know how he feels!

BTW, I am goinna guess...36...but I am sure the engineers will have much better guess

I had that the other day - although that was because Heath farted really loud while i was playing online with my sister on the playstation - she heard it through the headsets and over the loud game music.

I honestly thought i was going to die because i couldn't breathe because i was laughing so hard (not because of the noxious gas) .

 

[DopeyFan1966]

Doing the single digit happy dance. We only have 9 days until we are on the Magic. I'm sooooo excited. This is going to be the longest week ever.

[rashdecision]

I wanted to repeat a previous post from the board before it moved. My TA got us a rate of 1.28 and with fees it was I believe 1.31 or 1.32. It definately appears that the euro is tanking quickly and I am going to wait until Sunday night but if it continues to drop then I may pick up more. Everyone... Shop around and speak with your TA's about their rates b/c it seems people are all across the board on this one.

I am officially going to guess 30 pages on the board finale Mr. Barker.

Your TA got you the actual current rate plus fees. I just got .7757 Euro to the dollar here in Belgium, so my that is about 1.29 rate. The bank here at SHAPE has an agreement not to charge us a fee for the exchange so we get actual rate at the specific moment. If I went right now I would get .78494.

I just hope it keeps changing for the good so when I cash my check next week for the trip I get a really good rate.

Hello LIVE from the May 5th cruise! We're having a great time. It is chilly though. Didn't stop my daughter or most other kids from swimming, but the adult pool is EMPTY.

Safety drill was shortly after 4pm on the 5th. Sail away party was at 4:30, though we didn't actually pull out until about 9:30. First night was Let the Magic Begin menu and the All Aboard, Let the Magic Begin show. Tonight is Prince and Princess formal night and Twice Charmed. Tea with Alice and the Mad Hatter on either sea day, as well as character breakfast on one of the sea days. Um...any questions? We'll try to leave her in good shape for you!

Thank you so much for the update!!! We will all be sending pixie dust for better weather for you!

 

[Florida Princess]

Thanks for the update !!! Here's hoping the weather gets warmer !
Have a Magical Cruise and warn the crew that we are on our way

 

[Jeff Spencer]

So not long to go. Who wants to place a bet on how many pages we fill over the next few days before we cruise? In fact I'll throw in a little treat for whomever guesses closest (to the page number as of when i wake up on Sat 15 May).

By the 15th of May we'll be on page 89.

 

[jlwhitney]

In terms of the Colosseum tickets:

From looking at train schedules: there is a 7:59 and than an 8:40 and with approx. all ashore at 7:45 it ended up at 8 for the last Med crusie I would plain the 8:40 train it gets in at 9:50 and then all you have to do is hop on the metro and go to the Colosseum (metro stop is real close to it)...I would get tickets for 10:30 or 11 based on your options

 

[Prinny27]

Hmmmm... I guess 27 pages!

Do you know what time your boarding actually started? Were Palo ressies open immediately on boarding or was there a delay til 1pm?
(I've seen different reports on what is happening)

Fingers crossed it warms up for you.

Im sure we didn't have to select a time when i booked ours???

Am at work so can't check. Can anyone else confirm if a time had to be selected? (I know we did for the tickets to climb the Leaning Tower pf Pisa)

You are correct, if you buy the Colosseum tickets through the official site it was a 2 day ticket. Are you trying to buy the guided tour ticket instead of the regular just admission ticket?

Thanks for that Jill!

Had a sudden wave of anxiety that I had booked the wrong tickets - phew!

May have a nervous breakdown before next saturday arrives. Am in last minute panic mode already

My bank (RBC) has a 1.405 exchange rate...bah! I'm going to see what other options I have.
