Hooray for Say Hello!

Thanks, Tri-Delta4Life! I thought it was pretty amazing myself! Over the moon is a good way to put it! This trip really just keeps getting better & better. Let DH read my Trip Report when I get back... More than one person has told me they were sold on a trip based on my Report! (Oi, that sounds conceited! But it's true! )What a fantastic upgrade! How exciting?!?! I would be over the moon I'm really looking forward to hearing all about the cruise and the ABD add-on. I've got DH sold on the 11 day Med Cruise summer 2011 (hoping maybe some of those $999 GTY 12's show up again)... now I just have to sell him on the ABD ... one step at a time!
Thanks, 2GirlsMama! getting the upgrade was really just the icing on the cake! I can't wait to *write* the Trip Report! Heck, I can't wait to LIVE my Trip Report!!!!Hooray for Say Hello!

I've only had a veranda once, for my Alaska cruise. It was great watching the scenery go by from the veranda. Although it was way too cold to do the "coffee on the veranda in the morning" thing most days. I'm looking forward to coffee in Monaco off my balcony!That's an amazing upgrade - a veranda, wow! We've never had a veranda - I'm guessing it will be awfully nice. And just imagine sitting on it looking out not just over the water (which to me is wonderful anywhere) but on the Med, and at the ports... please please please take lots of pictures!
*blush* Why, thank you! I'm really going to enjoy doing this trip report, because, so far, I seem to be on the first of these trips to have any DISers on it (so far, I haven't heard of anyone from here taking the May 5 trip). It will be cool to be on the cutting edge of ABDness!WOW I don't visit the boards for a while and see one of my favorite posters is taking the trip of a lifetime!! I can't wait to hear all about it because I'm definitely going to be living vicariously through you! HAVE A BLAST!!
Thanks! This trip does have the potential for serious fabulousness! Trip Report definitely will follow!Enjoy yourself! It sounds like a fabulous trip! I can't wait for the trip report!
So I got my ABD "package" today. I'm glad to have gotten *something*, but I have to admit to being a little underwhelmed... It was an envelope with a 6-page "itinerary" and a gold-on-black ABD keychain. No count-down calendar, no packing suggestion list, no daily themes (*PLEASE* let there be daily themes & pins!!!! ) and, obviously, no backpack, although I can live without that.
At least I do know now which days the onboard activities are on! But still no idea of times. It makes planning onboard activities with my fellow DIS Meet-ers rather difficult.
I guess I shouldn't complain; for a while I didn't think I'd be getting anything. But I guess I'm going to have to make my own countdown calendar!
Sayhello
Honestly, I was beginning to think we weren't going to be getting anything! There's been some struggling between DCL running things, and ABD being more of a "provider", and I don't think they've figured out all of the who's doing what yet. I guess it's understandable since this is the first time they've done anything like this.Sayhello, I'm sorry the package was disappointing. Although the contents aren't really the exciting part anyway, it's just knowing that you're trip is coming up soon! Did you know that you wouldn't be getting the typical ABD package? Has anybody gotten a backpack, countdown calendar, etc. this year? They haven't done away with those, have they? I don't see why they would treat you differently just because it's a cruise rather than the traditional ABD. Well, I hope the rest of the trip makes up a hundredfold for this minor disappointment. My guess is that it will!
You're right. This is a very small thing, and with the prospect of this magnificent trip next month, it'll all be fine & dandy!Hmm. You'd think they would give you the backpack, although maybe you will still get the carry-on bag as a package in your room when you arrive. When I cruised Disney we got a package with stuff in our room (and it wasn't an ABD), but I'm thinking it might have been a repeat cruiser package. I guess I'd be a little disappointed, too - but frankly, nothing could disappoint me too much with the Mediterranean and an ABD coming up soon!
Keep us posted!

Not really. It was mostly the same info as on the web, just set up as bullet points. If I get a chance, I'll scan those 2 pages. I was hoping for a bit more detail, but it just isn't there.Just curious if you got more detail than is provided on the web as to what you will be doing in each port. I am still on the fence about adding for the last Med cruise.
THANKS!
