Who is cruising on the Sovereign?Check in here!

 

[chefkugler]

I will be crusing on the Sovereign.
Room 5502.

 

[pamperedbecky]

Me, me, me!! Can't wait!

Thanks, Deb, for putting these all out there....

 

[chefkathy]

Me! I'm on the 9th deck.I'm guessing they will have some sort of reception for us or something....at least they had special stuff for us in San Fran last year...so there will be an opportunity for us to meet up. We could have an unofficial DCS meeting in one of the bars or something. Once we get our official travel docs we'll probably know more.

 

[pamperedbecky]

On the cruise two years ago there was a reception thingy the first night. I also went to one for first time achievers, but I think there's also one for everybody. How fun! We'll have to look for each other and look at nametags!

 

[amy07]

I'll be hoping to meet you guys!

 

[baychef]

I too will be joining you on the Sovereign!! And I will be on the 9th floor too! I can't believe that it is just one month away already!!!

 

[hankins]

I'm on the 5th floor room #5514. I'm taking my kids ages 10& 14 anyone else taking kids?????

 

[chefkathy]

Our son is staying at home with my sister. When I got my new passport pic taken, he was with me. The lady was all ready to take his and I had to stop her and tell her no way he was coming with! LOL!He have another family trip planned this summer so this one is adults only!

 

[amy07]

no kiddos with us either.

 

[chefkugler]

I'm bringing my 2 boys. Ages 7 and 10.
Had to make this year a family trip. I owed them for all their support and help through the year.

 

[chefkugler]

I'm on the 5th floor room #5514. I'm taking my kids ages 10& 14 anyone else taking kids?????

I'm in room 5502, we are only 2 rooms apart.

 

[amy07]

[chefkugler]

melissa, we're neighbors! we are in 5500

Oh cool.
Where are you from?
I heard the front of the ship can me rocky. We shall see.

 

[hankins]

My Director is also coming and she is on the 5th floor and bringing her two boys 8 & 10. I need GIRLS!!

 

[amy07]

Oh cool.

guess I better get that patch for sure now!

 

[pamperedbecky]

We're not bring our kids with. They're staying with my parents! Yay! I figure until we go to Disney next, I'll be leaving the kids at home. They're only 3 and 6 so I TRULY want a vacation!

 

[chefkugler]

My Director is also coming and she is on the 5th floor and bringing her two boys 8 & 10. I need GIRLS!!

Sorry only have boys. But they play well with all kids in that age group.

 

[chefkugler]

What did the put all the ones with kids on the 5th floor?

 

[hankins]

I called the cruise line about the pull out beds above the twin beds.....they have a ladder and a bar so the kids won't fall out. The windows don't open. I'm so ready for this trip!!!

 

[OhmyDLM]

I will be crusing on the Sovereign.
Room 5502.

I'm cruising the Sovereign for my 3rd time! Ha Ha, But I have a feeling that this time will be the most special because I'll be sharing in it with all of my Pampered Chef friends!

I'm in room 5596. I thought this was too funny because I went and looked online and it's two rooms away from the mall, HOW FITTING!

Can't wait to board, 1 month from today!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[chefkathy]

I just registered at royalcaribbean.com and was able to check in and purchase excursions. Yeehaw!!! I just purchased snorkeling at CocoCay so far.I called Carlson b/c the ship returns to Port Canaveral at 7 a.m. and my flight doesn't leave Orlando until 7 p.m. I was told that disembarkation takes a couple hours and that Pampered Chef will be filling up buses and shuttling folks back to Orlando as they disembark. There will be no time for fitting in an excursion to the space center unless you arrange your own transportation back to the airport. I wish I would have known this prior, then I probably would have taken the travel allowance. Oh well. Can't argue with a free vacation.Just know that you may be spending a few hours with me in the Orlando airport.

 

[chefkugler]

Which snorkeling trip are you doing?

 

[chefkathy]

Just renting the gear for the day at CocoCay.

 

[chefkugler]

Is that the at your leisure one?

 

[chefkathy]

Yes. I plan on doing everything at my leisure on this trip.

 

[pamperedbecky]

Just renting the gear for the day at CocoCay.

That's the one excursion we were thinking of doing. I need to check the excursions out again. Is there only one time slot to do it? I'll have to go look.

 

[chefkathy]

The snorkeling at CocoCay is for the day. You pick up your gear and you are on your own. I think there is an orientation/instructional session if you want, otherwise you can snorkel as little or as much as you want while on the island.

That sounds awesome!!

 

[OhmyDLM]

Snorkling at CoaCoa Kay is all that my hubby and I signed up for too. I'll be 20 weeks pregnant at that point so my goal for this whole trip is to take it easy!!! Every time I go on vacation I go go go, and plan plan plan, this will be my first trip ever just flying by the seat of my pants And you know what... I can't wait to relax!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[PampMomof3]

I'm on the Sovereign as well and this will be the second time on this ship. I'm in room 5048 and we can't wait to GO!!! One month and our countdown as begun! I just got my travel allowance money and I'm going to spend it today on some excursions! I'll save the rest for my fake purses in Nassau!!

 

[chefkathy]

I'll save the rest for my fake purses in Nassau!!

So what will the guys do while we're shopping? :money::money: Maybe go find some cigars? :yuck::yuck:

 

[PampMomof3]

When Anthony and I went 2 years ago to Nassau we walked around and he wanted to buy so much liquor and he BARELY drinks! He LOVED :love0010:the prices so much he must've purchased 12 bottles. Ridiculous but I'm sure he'll do it again to fill our bar for company!

 

[pamperedbecky]

OK, who likes to play Roulette?? Or who would like to learn? I'm getting antsy and can't wait to go to the casino. Maybe it's because DH gets to go to Vegas next week for fun and I'm so jealous!!

So, I've been thinking about being able to get my Vegas "fix" on the ship in the casino. Soooo, if anyone likes Roulette (that's my favorite!), we'll have to find each other and play!:money::money:

YIKES! I'm a roullette JUNKIE! Good thing there isn't table gambling here in Maine or I'd be in BIG trouble. If you're playing roullette on the ship, you can just about guarantee I'll be sitting beside you! Ha Ha.... It's an addiction and the ONLY game I play! Good thing I only vacation once a year!

 

[OhmyDLM]

Oh and most my bets will be on and around Red 23 and Black 17, don't know why, they just call to me SEE YOU THERE!

 

[pamperedbecky]

Oh and most my bets will be on and around Red 23 and Black 17, don't know why, they just call to me SEE YOU THERE!

Sounds like a plan! I've got my numbers too: 23 is one of them, but ALWAYS 5. Almost always 16/19 split (my DS and my birthdays) and the 21/24 split (DH and DD's birthdays) - it's funny how that works out.

I bet I'll see you there. :money:

 

[PampMomof3]

I've NEVER played but maybe I can get you two pros to teach me!!

 

[amy07]

I've NEVER played but maybe I can get you two pros to teach me!!

me too!
I'm getting so excited!! I feel like a kid counting down to Christmas!

 

[bethsbiz]

I'm on this ship too...6th floor. Last time my hubby got the sea sickness patches and they helped him....we were in the absolute bottom floor for guests on that trip and it was supposedly more rocky. He did just fine.

I'd love to meet some DCS folks too....hope to see more details as we get closer.

Also, anyone coming from the west coast and getting there the day early (so we can make the departure time on the ship)??

 

[chefkugler]

I'm not west coast. But I am going on Sunday and staying in at a hotel near the port. We have a shuttle to the port at 11 am.

 

[OhmyDLM]

Well we are extending our stay because we have a time share the week after the cruise gets back. Here's the kicker, PChef has a new policy this incentive period that they will extend your stay a maximun of 7 days (that's including before and after trip times). Well our time share is from Saturday to Saturday the day after we get back from the cruise on Friday. In order for us to maximize the time we have at the time share, (as we can only stay there until Friday since PChef is telling us we have to come home then since it's 7 days) we couldn't come down to Florida the day BEFORE the cruise like I would want to. If so, we'd have to leave the time share on Thursday which would be foolish since we have paid for the timeshare until Saturday...... are you still folllowing me? LoL

Anyways, we live in Maine, terrible bad weather this time of year and one tiny little airport that is prone to cancellations and delays... I explained this to PChef but they are taking no exceptions to the rule this year and won't allow us to come a day before the cruise until we want to give up yet another day at the time share. So... are flight is supposed to leave Bangor, ME at 6am and we are supposed to arrive in Orlando around 1pm. Then of course, get the luggage, grab the shuttle, and make our way to the pier... all of you on the boat for your Bon Voyarge Celebration might see me and my husband running down the gangplank with our bags screaming WAIT! He He

 

[chefkugler]

Your too funny. You will make it. What is the last boarding time?
I would hope they wouldn't book you like that if you could miss it

 

[OhmyDLM]

Your too funny. You will make it. What is the last boarding time?

Oh my gosh, the cut off for Pampered Chef to send you the day of is if you arrive before 12:30 to the airport in Orlando. I beleive our flight has an estimated arrival time of 12:24 so we made it by 6 minutes... and that's if it's on time! Currently I'm looking out my window to a freaking blizzard in my front yard, it's never ending around here in Maine. So I'm TERRIFIED it will be this way 3 weeks from now when we leave. The ship leaves at 5 so I'm assuming we'll be getting on it just before it leaves. I've cruised a lot in the past and have learned the hard way that it's ALWAYS best to travel the day before... due mostly to lost luggage! But with PChef's new 7 day extention policy and our time share agreement, we're going to have to take a chance on this one!

If we don't get on the ship the 14th, we'll meet you in the Carribbean! Ha Ha

 

[bethsbiz]

Regarding departure and the airport: When we cruised 2 years ago, the time at the airport upon the return was the longest and least fun of the trip. Just a reality. PC disembarks folks based on their flights, etc. and you are informed when to be where so you disembark at the correct time.

After getting bused over, we got to the airport around 10:30 and our flight was around 5:00 p.m. This airport -- at least at the time -- has a policy that you can't check in until 2 hours prior to your flight so you can't even check your baggage until then. We were exhausted (after days of sun and fun) and basically curled up on some lobby style chairs, gripped my luggage, and slept. I'm making sure I have a travel pillow this time! NOTE: This airport MIGHT have a luggage storage area...but we didn't ask about it last time. We just traded off hubby and me going the get food, go to the restroom, go shopping, etc. Finally got thru security and then President Bush managed to add some excitement by arriving at the airport just before we were suppose to board, for some speech in the area. It shut down the airport, caused all kinds of drama (black helicopters??), secret service, etc. Kind of a fun memory. Actually was surprsingly fast...no major delays.

This year, we knew the drill so we extended the trip by one day so we can disembark, rent a car, go to the Kennedy Space Center and then fly out Saturday evening. We pay for the rental and the extra night hotel of course.

For first timer's on an incentive trip like this: PC generally takes care of all the details...there will be people from Carlson Travel greeting incoming flights, and busing you were you need to go. If it is like last time, PC will pay for all luggage handling and also onboard tips (THIS IS A BIG DEAL!). PC will provide this info on most of this stuff in our trip pack we'll be getting soonn.

Anyhow, getting more excited by the day. Only problem now is locating a decent swim suit and starting to shave my legs more often so they are ready for lotion and sun!

[chefkugler]

I'm sort of glad that I booked my own I guess.
We are taking the 2 boys, so we found it cheaper to take the travel money. We are flying in on Sunday. Then after the cruise we have a shuttle service taking us to a hotel near seaworld. We will spend 2 days there and fly back home on Sunday.
So we made it an extended family trip. Even for what that cost me, it would never compare to having to pay for it all.
I'm so excited, we have a countdown on the fridge. I even started to sort clothes for packing. Swim suit all set got 2 new ones. ( gotta have a spare).
Can't wait for that sunshine.:sun:

 

[chefkathy]

I bought a new suitcase today.

 

[chefkugler]

We are having trouble with the whole suitcase issue. Since there is 4 of us and we extended our trip after the cruise it is hard for us to stay with just 4 suitcases. The kids have smaller ones. But then you still need a garment bag for the dresses and suit. I hate packing. Cause I'm stuck doing it for all 4 of us. Then we will get there and it will be my fault they are missing something.

 

[chefkathy]

And if you use a big suitcase and pack it too full, you will be over weight for the airlines. Ask me how I know. Grr.So we needed a second one.
