Aha, that explains some of the quiet, maybe. I looked around in general for mention of people going ont his cruise several months ago, but hadn't done it since. Funny partI've been to that web site many times.

Thanks for letting us know. I'll make a note of that time & I'll look you up on FB.

Thanks, I'm starting to get everything ready and maybe start packing next week. That makes sense about the room #, you never know. Let me know if you plan anything.

oh good. I'm glad you got it all sorted out.

Yeah, we'll have to think of something. I tend to be reluctant to post room #s etc. on boards that can be read by anyone who happens upon it. I do have completely disposable email addresses that I can use to help with such things, though.

Ah, ok I just looked and I see that they do have a way to send private messages on here. That's helpful.

I was surprised when I booked the cruise that they don't even send a confirmation thru the regular mail. At least something that you can see and read and get the feeling that you are really booked. I guess now a days they want to save in everything posible. Anyway, I was finally able to print everything, thanks all for the help.

That will be nice if we can meet on the cruise, let me know.

It's amazing how I'm so into my tech toys, yet for some things I still just want my paper! That and...Faith, trust & Pixie Dust! ;) I feel almost funny now not packing a costume for this cruise. :P

They are waiting for a part for my AC, so I'm glad I don't need to start packing just yet. The coolest part of the house is 93 degrees! I think most of the actual packing I'll start at about 1 week. That way I shouldn't need anything I put in the bags. I did a huge reorganization project in my closet last week, that's going to make packing even easier.

We may want to start considering potential ways we could meet up, for anyone who's interested.

it took me a while to figure out how to print all the documents, too, so don't feel bad! i really just wanted those luggage tags. actually, i really want the disney ones, but i guess i'll make do with my packing tape and black and white printer. :) robin knows what i'm talking about!

i am doing the flex dining. i haven't found any reviews for spirit class ships that have had problems. these boats have been doing flex dining for years. the most i've seen is a 15 minute wait, which is no different from applebee's, so i'm fine with it. i think if i had a large group, i wouldn't try, but it's just me and my husband.

i've got the pile in the office going, but i think i'm going to start packing this weekend. it's just too much anticipation for me to handle!! WHEE!!

Robin;

I started reading all the previous post from you and found the one that you explained how to get the documents. I guess that I missed that one before. Thanks, I will try it now.

I also have a few things myself that I can't wait for this 17 days to go so we can go and relax on the cruise. I need some help printing the documents, I read someone posted that they printed 7 pages with luggage tags but I can't find where to print that. I completed the pre-registration but all I get is one page with the Funpass info all completed but nothing else. Did you do this already? Can someone guide me to where this is? Thanks,

By the way, I'm going to be on cabin 7269.

Thanks,

Maureen

I've been dealing with a few more personal minor disasters. Car repairs etc. and now my AC compressor flat out died after only 4 years and it's 90 degrees in my house, but I what I need for the trip aside from getting something taken in and some dry cleaning and I SO look forward to pretending this stuff doen't exist for a week while on board! :D

That's what I've read. Wait times. When I first booked it wasn't an option. When I heard about the new flexible plan, I had considered it, but I decided that the scheduled time worked out pretty well on the last cruise and it had some advantages. Plus there's that whole thing about different people to dine with and servers each night, which could be a good thing in some cases, but I felt it might lack some of the usual cruise charm. Especially on dressier nights. I can do that going out to dinner at home any night. Not only that, but last time I found the routine to be kinda nice. I was maybe a bit surprised that I did. We'd dress for dinner, freshen up in the room and then go seek out night time activities. I could do something different if I chose to, but I was liking it. I think not paying for dinner in the traditional sense and knowing I can get whatever I want afterward if need be encourages me to order things I might not normally. However, you may still see me in line next to your children eating pizza. :P

I never done the flexible option and it looks like a good idea but I've read some reviews that sometimes you have to wait to be seated and that you will not be seated with the same people every night and will have different servers vs having the same servers all week on the fixed 6pm or 8pm time. I will like to have the option to try them both but I don't think that is an option.

Thanks Robin for your opinion, I think that looking at diffent menus that people have posted online, my kids will have to stuff on pizza before dinner because there is nothing in the menu that they will like...
