klfrodo Posted February 12, 2011 #4 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Print out docs, funpass, and luggage tags. Double check, triple check location and visual inspection of passports or BC's whichever you're using as ID. One last pre-cruise party with food and drinks to discuss if anything has been left out.

kr8z Posted February 12, 2011 #8 Share Posted February 12, 2011 The waiting...is the hardest part!! :D According to Tom Petty anyway ;) When we first started cruising, I had no clue you could simply pay a deposit and worry about it later. We were always completely paid from day 1, so I waited, and waited, and waited, and researched, and researched, and obsessed, and researched more, then obsessed more, then waited... then obsessed while driving to the port that I had all the documents. It doesn't end until I have that first DOTD in my hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martini Mom Posted February 12, 2011 #9 Share Posted February 12, 2011 I waited, and waited, and waited, and researched, and researched, and obsessed, and researched more, then obsessed more, then waited... then obsessed while driving to the port that I had all the documents. It doesn't end until I have that first DOTD in my hand. I agree. I drive my husband crazy and don't calm down until I'm onboard. While waiting, it spend a lot of time on CC, research ports, gather info on the ship, pick up odd and ends (especially at the dollar store), make lots of lists, download cruise music to take with us, check out Bon Voyage items for purchase, maybe buy some new clothes, make sure DH's clothes are cleaned and pressed, line up grandma to watch the kids, and generally drive everyone crazy talking non-stop about cruising! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusing Nut Posted February 12, 2011 #10 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Is John really behind in requests? Maybe place another request? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelwoj Posted February 13, 2011 #11 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Is John really behind in requests? Maybe place another request? One of the Stephanie's gathers them all on Fridays, gets them to John on Mondays, who sends them to the individual ships, the confirmation will come from the ship. I would give it at least two weeks before sending a second request. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scythe Posted February 13, 2011 #12 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I made my Chef's table rez via email (Should be in your cruise manager) thru the Steak house. Reply/confirmed in less than 48hrs. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevadabadgirl Posted February 13, 2011 Author #13 Share Posted February 13, 2011 The Paradise doesn't have a steakhouse or I would do that :D I figured if I didn't hear anything next week I would ask again. Now...........IS IT TIME YET??? :D (I know, I know, don't make you stop this ship :D) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueJacketsFan1 Posted February 13, 2011 #14 Share Posted February 13, 2011 We have all of that plus airfare and steakhouse reservations, and everything taken care of for our pre-cruise stay in SoBe. All that if left is Tux rental and 256 more days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevadabadgirl Posted February 13, 2011 Author #15 Share Posted February 13, 2011 My son took care of his own tux rental, so we are good there. I'd be nuts if I had 200+ days. 91 is killing me :D Just to clarify, this is the 5th cruise I have booked and the first I have ever paid off and will probably get to go. I booked 2 with my parents, who both passed away, so we cancelled. I booked one with my son and then he got sick = cancelled. I booked 2 other times and my financial situation changed cancelled....Yes, I buy trip insurance :D ...so now I am more than ready for my 1st vacation in over 3 years!
