We're sailing March 23rd also. It's our first cruise. We have an almost 11 year old daughter too. They'll be in the Oceaneer's lab together (agegroup 10-12)!

I am a single mom going with dd who is 9 and ds who is 7. We are so excited. We just got upgrade to a better room. Hope to see you on the cruise. We have the late seating and have booked our excursions. what about ya'll??????

[kat28]

We have early dining. We too booked an excursion. We're doing the St John Trunk Bay 5Star. Not sure what we want to do at St Martins (the possibility of seeing nude sunbathing is making my 10 year old DD uncomfortable.) We may just debark and shop on the Dutch side. Or just stay on the ship!

Did Disney upgrade you for free? If so, how lucky!

[kcand sunshine]

Upgrade was not free but only $200 more. Not bad!!!!!! I heard how loud deck 2 is and we were under the disco plus engine noise. We're doing the Atlantis Sub trip and then plan to go to Magen's Bay (St. Thomas) and we're doing the Golden Eagle Catamaran (St. Maarten). Heard it was awesome!!!! I heard there's great shopping in Grand Case!!!

Add us to your list of cruisers on March 23rd. My DH, DS (7) DD (6) will be joining you. It's our first Disney Cruise and we are so excited!! Does everone have their Disney information downloaded from the internet or am I the only geek? I'll be a prepared geek, but geek none-the-less..., as my husband rolls his eyes. Looking forward to cruising with y'all!!:wave:

Great!!!!We're booked on the 1:00 catamaran too!!!I heard it's awesome!!! We have the late seating for dinner and I hope my DS gets to meet all the boys with your group. He easily makes new friends. Are they going on the catamaran too? We're so excited too!!!!!!!

We're booked on the March 23 Eastern Caribbean 7 night cruise, category 6. There's self, DW, DD 10, and DD 12.

Our documents arrived days ago. There was nothing in there about excursions. Did other March 23 passengers already get excursion information and the ability to sign up?

The only problem in the paperwork is that it shows Main Seating rather than Late Seating. We requested Late Seating. Gotta get that changed. When you account for the 2 hour time difference from Chicago, Main Seating is way too early to eat.

[kcand sunshine]

I received info about excursions in early January and booked 60 days b/f cruise date. You need to call and book now. Here's the #1-877-566-0968. i hope you know what excursion you want. They sent a booklet but it has the same excursions that are on the website, Hope this helps!!!!!! I have not received documents yet!!!!!

[kat28]

We've not received our documents yet either. I heard they arrive approximately 30 days prior to sail. Is that right?

Our documents arrived from Fed Ex today. I thought I had ordered something I forgot about,LOL:pinkbounc 40 more days:wave:

[kcand sunshine]

Maybe ours will come soon!!!! Only 6 more weeks-we can't wait!!!

[Horace Horsecollar]

The cruise documents for our 3/23/02 cruise were shipped via FedEx 2-day service on 2/6/02 and delivered on 2/8/02. (I though we were finally receiving our Harry Potter game software from MacMall.)

I never received anything about shore excursions, neither with the cruise documents, nor in another mailing. But thanks to "kcand sunshine" I now have the phone number. (Thank you!)

Funny how DCL doesn't ship to all passengers for the same cruise at the same time.

Anyone else on the 3/23/02 Disney Magic 7 night cruise?

[Irishkids]

Myself, DH and DS 9 will be on this 7 day Magic Cruise!! Our first, we can't wait, and I am addicted to this web site! We have received documents, picked a few excursions, and are ready to go!! We have the second dinner seating, does anyone know if you can request your dinner rotation? Thanks! :cool:

[Horace Horsecollar]

I called to change to late seating because our travel documents said "main seating" even though we were confirmed for late seating back in May when be booked. I thought of requesting a dinner rotation and a table size at that time, but I decided I'd rather be surprised.

I think we'd be happiest if we had the PLAPLAP rotation at a table for 8 with another familiy with similarly aged daughters. (Ours are 10 and 12.) But I think it's sometimes better not to be too specific. So I'll just trust that DCL knows how to assign tables to have happy, satisfied passengers.

[kcand sunshine]

I still haven't gotten our cruise documents? Has anyone else NOT gotten them? ONLY 21 MORE DAYS!!!!!!!!!!

[Casey's mom]

We got our documents maybe 1-1/2 weeks ago. I was surprised they arrived so early. We have not booked any excursions yet. I think we may just get off the ship in St. Maarten and St. Thomas and take a cab to a nice beach. I love St. John -- but it seems like kind of a hassle to get there. I'm sure we will all have a great time in any event. Three weeks and counting!!!:bounce: :bounce:

[Cheryl in PA]

Still waiting for the documents to arrive, kind of surprised they haven't yet!

We are me 39, hubby 39, dd almost 11, ds 7 1/2. We have late seating, no excursions planned (we can call cabs ourselves) and rented all the "stuff" at Castaway Cay. We are in a Category 4 cabin and are from outside phila. We love to meet other families when we travel especially with kids similar ages. For hubby and me, this is our 4th cruise but first with Disney. We can't wait!

If anyone wants to email us, please do at cwbbcc@aol.com.

Looking forward to an AMAZING time!

We're also on the 3/23, family of four (two children, daughter age 8 and son age 5) in a category 6 stateroom on deck 6. Got our documents way back in early February, when we also booked the St. John 5 star (but we may be cancelling that and doing St. John --- something other than Trunk -- on our own; the 5 star only give you -- and the 140 other people you are "sharing" the snorkeling path with -- 1.5 hours at Trunk. Two crowded and too short). :pinkbounc

We are also going on the 3/23 cruise. There will be me, my DH, and two DS's (13 and 9). Can't wait. We have early seating. We did a four day, then a 3 day (land/sea) and now the 7 day. Did late seating on the 3 day and ended up just wanted to go to be after dinner! I enjoyed the extra time before having to go to eat, but was veto'd by the rest of the family. Still haven't figured out which shore excursions we are going to do. Thinking of going on our own on St. Thomas but may do an excursion on St. Marten. Can't wait. Only 11 days now!
