awoltoday Posted September 1, 2006 #101 Share Posted September 1, 2006 I PM'd this to one of your cruisemates on the other board a couple of days ago.... I don't like to post on other peoples cruisemeets threads over there... Why I don't mind doing it here, I don't know. Did you all notice that the St. Thomas docking schedule was released for the rest of the year? http://www.*****/general_usvi/cr...06/STT-Nov.php It looks like you all will get to save the $5 water taxi fare. The Magic will be at anchorage (not alaska - just at anchor in the bay :) ) and you'll be tendered in. I hope that doesn't shorten your already short stay in St. Thomas! Have any of you done that before? On Wed Nov 29: -Noordam -Costa Magica -Mariner of the Seas -Disney Magic: Anchorage -Zuiderdam: CB -Radiance of the Seas: CB Sorry, I don't have a banana for you all. It looks like you have a great crew and will have a great time regardless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisalisa143 Posted September 1, 2006 #102 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Can you please explain the St Thomas docking schedule situation? I'm trying to learn and understand all that I can Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom x4,grandma x4 Posted September 1, 2006 #103 Share Posted September 1, 2006 The docking is easy. On our trip 11/25 we wont be pulling up to the dock as other ships are doing. We will drop anchor in the bay, not very far out. Then a tender boat will come along side the ship and you will walk down a gang plank onto the tender boat instead of a walkway. It is a good size boat and holds lots of people. It will take you to shore where you can do your excursions or shop or what ever you want to do. The tender boats run constantly all day long, and it was only a 5 minute ride when we did it. So there really isnt any wait for it. The only bad thing is, if you have a stroller it must be folded until you get off the tender boat. CM's will assist you if you have kids or older people so you can easily get from one to the other. It is a lot easier than it sounds. We have done this at St. Thomas once before. Kathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

okiedokie Posted September 5, 2006 #112 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Hi all, Cruisemutt: I feel your pain-I lost 85 pounds 5 years ago on Weight Watchers and have let 15 pounds sneak back!! Since I plan to gain 10 pounds on the trip, I need to lose the 15 pounds:eek: !! Hey does anyone know how I go about changing my dinner seating?? I have second seating-had that last trip-would like the earlier seating this time because after we would finish dinner it would be after 10pm and with a full tummy and nice rocking motion of the ship I was done for the night! have a great day...Okie:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom x4,grandma x4 Posted September 5, 2006 #113 Share Posted September 5, 2006 There are 2 thing for you to do to hopefully get dinner changed. First call whom ever you booked the trip with and ask them to put you on the wait list for early dining. Then as soon as you get on the ship, before going to lunch or anything, go to Rock n bar D where they do reservations and dining changes. Ask there to be changed. Usually they take your information and then call and leave a message on your phone if you get changed. Once in awhile they will change you on the spot, but sometimes it takes a few hours, so you may still have late dining the first night. Just be sure to check your phone for messages from 5 p.m. on the first night, just in case. we have had to do this several times and only once we didnt get the change. One time it was the 2nd day before we got our change too. When you check in they give you a paper that tells some info for things when you get on the ship. One thing listed there will say reservations and dining changes. And where to go for this, usually rock n bar D as soon as you board. Try to be there ASAP for the best chance of getting changed. Good Luck!!! kathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okiedokie Posted September 5, 2006 #114 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Thanks Kathy I'll do that-there are 8 of us traveling together so I am hoping but would understand if they can't change us. Okie:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Host Mick Posted September 19, 2006 #120 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Hi Everyone... I've seen a few familiar names on this bbs so far. Who else is cruising with us in November? I've been ready to go since I booked in January and pretty much driving everyone near me crazy. Eh, they're just jealous!:D Bill BBS? There's something that you don't hear anymore. You've got to be of a certain age to call this a bbs. Old enough to know what 300 baud and a monochrome monitor looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisemutt Posted September 21, 2006 Author #121 Share Posted September 21, 2006 I was the first on my block with a 14.4 modem trying to wriggle into Wais and Gopher... things certainly change with time. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And my modem had a place to strap my telephone handset on to it. When I wanted to have some fun I would play this game with a bunch of other people all over the country. The game was called a MUD. That was the true beginning of internet gaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
