June 13th-16th Wonder anyone?

[Skeeter]

Or do I have the whole ship to myself???

[anny_c_99]

Myself(44), hubby(44), daughter(18), and her boyfriend(17).

Glad to see there is someone else also going...This is our first cruise.

Can't wait.

[Irishmom23]

We are also going on the June 13th cruise. It is the first cruise for the kids who are 17 (Bill), almost 14 (Anne Marie) and 10 (Mary Beth), and myself and hubby. We can't wait!! Are we the only three families going???? We are in a family suite on deck 8.

[kmgl78]

We will also be on the Wonder 13th -16th. Myself and my husband and my two kids (boy 18 and girl 14). Three of my sons friends (18) will also be on the ship.

We are excited!!

[Skeeter]

We're on deck 8 also. In one of the category 2 two bedroom suites! There are only two of these on the ship so you should have no trouble finding us! Me,DH,DS (11),and DD (8). This is so cool! Where are you from? We're from Virginny! My son'r name is D.J. and my daughter is Taylor. Tell Mary Beth I have a man for her!

[Irishmom23]

Dear Skeeter: We are in 8552, a family suite. Anne Marie (almost 14) is disappointed there is no man for HER!! She can't WAIT to meet a "hot boy" on the cruise, whereas my son, Billy, is more the shy reserved type, probably spending most of his time eating and in the cyber-cafe. Mary Beth is very friendly and outgoing, and can't wait to me your DS! We are from Massachusetts, just outside of Boston. Can't wait to be landing in Orlando on our way to the ship!! Kim (Irishmom23) :earsboy:

[Skeeter]

Will you be staying at WDW before the cruise? We'll be there the 7th-13th at the Grand Floridian.

[Skeeter]

Bumping for Sunday readers!

[Irishmom23]

Skeeter: We will be going to WDW after the cruise for 8 nights, staying at Port Orleans Riverside. That will be our fourth trip to WDW, but our first cruise. We wanted to do one more family visit to WDW as Bill will be going off to college in another year, and who knows if he'll want to go again! But then of course it is Disney!! Only how many more days??:bounce:

[Skeeter]

Irishmom......If you send me your e-mail address to d-ljones@mindspring.com I'll try to dig up a decent family picture so Mary Beth will know who to look for!

[Skeeter]

Irishmom

Did you get my e-mail? I sent you a pic of the kids.

[Irishmom23]

Mary Beth is now so excited that she will "know" someone on the cruise. I haven't found a picture I can send yet. We are almost to the sixty day mark! Irishmom (Kim)

[Skeeter]

Looking for more vacation buddies so I thought I'd bump this up!

[Bluewater4]

We're going! :wave: Mom, Dad, daughters Kasey 15 and Diana 11. This is our 2nd cruise - but 1st on DCL. We were on the Sovereign of the Seas last year, during the same week! We just booked, after sitting at dinner on a Sunday talking about how much fun we had last year. Kasey had a great time at the teen club on that ship, and looks forward to meeting more people this year. We went with a group last year, so the girls had friends around to go to the activities with, but it's just us this year, so they would both like to connect with ppl ahead of time so they don't have to go to the first meetings alone! Send us pics so we can find you! :sunny:

[Bluewater4]

bump!

[Irishmom23]

Glad to see there is another family going on the June 13th Wonder. Only 60 more days to go!!!! Irishmom23

[jenc]

We are going to be on the Wonder on June 13th too!!!! We will be getting to Port Orleans - Riverside on June 10th and then onto the cruise!! There will be a total of 20 of us. We have a 1 yo girl, a 2 yo girl, a 2 yo boy, a 3 yo girl, a 4 yo boy, a 6 yo girl, and a 7 yo girl. It is DH's family and another family, so we are getting really excited!!!!! Most of us are on deck 6.

Now I am just couting down the days!!!

[akid@hart]

Grandma & Grandpa with a 10 year old girl and 7 year old boy. This will be their first cruise ever!
Hope they can make some friends from this board or on the ship - it makes it so much more fun for them.
We have previously taken their brothers on a cruise, but a brand new experience for them.:earsgirl: :earsboy: :wave: :wave:

[Disneylovers]

We'll be on the Wonder on 6/13 too! This is our first cruise, and I'm worried about how I'll do on the ship. DH, DD 14 and DD who we're going to celebrate turning 9 with a cake (I hope) the last night at dinner, will all be there (on deck 7 I think). We're staying at CB beforehand (even coming in a couple of days early to use up passes that we've accumulated from previous trips!). I can't wait!!!!

[Skeeter]

Blue Water.......Where in NC are you from? I live in Danville,VA which is right on the NC line, 30 minutes from Greensboro. We'll be on deck 8.

I'll be sending pics soon to those who asked for them. Send me your e-mail addy.

[Irishmom23]

Disneylovers,
We are also traveling on the June 13th, myself, DH, DS age 17, DD age 14 also!!, and DD age 10. We are on deck eight and looking forward to meeting you, especially my 14yo DD, who thought there was not going to be "anyone on the cruise my age" See you soon, the time is getting closer, CAN"T WAIT!!
Irishmom23

[Disneylovers]

Irishmom23,

So, I'm not the only one hearing "will there be anyone my age to hang out with?" Are you planning on any shore excursions in Nassau? DH will go scuba diving, the girls and I are going to go on the dolphin encounter, which I HOPE will go well! But, hopefully, our girls can get together! Mine plans on visiting "Common Grounds", wonder how much we'll see her on this part of the trip, especially since she'll have to "endure" hanging with her parents at WDW! (where are you staying?)

[Bluewater4]

Irishmom and Disneylovers -

DD 15 would love to get in touch with your girls ahead of time! We cruised last year with a group, and she had a great time at the teen club. This year - just family, no friends - and she doesn't want to go to the club alone! Would you mind if I sent you her e-mail address and s/n? If she can have e-mails for your girls, I'm sure she'll get in touch with them. She can tell them all about how much fun she had last year.

[Bluewater4]

kmgl78-

Would your DD14 be interested in getting in touch with our DD15 before the cruise? E-mail me if she would!

[Bluewater4]

Irishmom and akid@hart -

DD11 would like to get in touch with your girls!

[Irishmom23]

We have booked the Dolphin Swim (NOT the encounter) for 1:30 on Nassau day but decided to also book the Blue Lagoon Beach day to get there early and enjoy the sun and the beach. The girls and myself are doing the dolphin swim, while DH and DS strike out on their own at the Straw Market etc. The only other thing we have "planned" is the banana boats (NOT me!!) at CC and snorkelling. We also figured we would rent a tube/float or two also. The children are hoping to enjoy some of the activities for their age group, especially Common Grounds, but I did want to do a couple of things as a family!! We have first seating, does anyone else? Irishmom23

[akid@hart]

Not planning anything in Nassau except exploring the straw market and perhaps taking a taxi over to Paradise Island to
walk around at the Atlantis Resort and see the fish. Since we
live in a beach town and will be at Castaway Cay that will be
enough beach for us. Perhaps give the kids time to enjoy the
ship more when it isn't so crowded.

[Skeeter]

Irishmom.........I e-mailed you a picture of my kids. They are 8 and 11. If anyone else has kids this age let me know!

[Skeeter]

Bump!:Pinkbounc

[akid@hart]

getting close

[Bluewater4]

Hey Skeeter -

I've been trying to e-mail you - did your address change??

[poundcake74]

Hello you guys,
We also will be going June 13th and we cant wait, It will me myself, my husband, mother, father and 3 little brothers ages 7, 11, and 18. We are staying 5 nights at the wilderness lodge first. So is everyone all packed? My mom is "ALL" packed.. NOT ME but I am getting there!!! We are staying on deck 6 just to let you guys know. GOSH I cant wait to chat with you all!!! SEE YOU SOON
Richa

[akid@hart]

Wow, the cruise is almost here...we will have a 7 yr old boy and almost 11 year old girl with us. We are in a secret porthole room on deck 5.

[Irishmom23]

Hi everyone!
Only SEVEN more days!! I know some are going to WDW first and will be leaving before the 13th, but the cruise will be here SOON! Looking forward to meeting the people I have chatted with on these boards! Kim (Irishmom23)

[akid@hart]

Wow, after all that long wait the time has finally arrived...all packed and waiting to go!!

[akid@hart]

Here we go! Too bad the forcast for Nassau is Rain all week, but there will be lots to do anyway inside.

[Irishmom23]

I HOPE there isn't rain in Nassau! I have a Dolphin swim booked for 1:30 PM on Nassau day. You are unable to book the swim through DCL, so I booked it on my own. Besides missing the opportunity to swim with the dolphins, I will be out a lot of money. Well, I won't worry about it until it happens. I am sooo looking forward to this cruise, and I am not going to let anything spoil it!!!

[akid@hart]

Hey Irishmom...heard from Diana's mom today too, we are meeting at 1:00 in the lobby on Thursday at the statue (Mickey or Aerial, not sure who the statue is of) We are staying at the Radisson at the port Wed. night - if you are there call and maybe we can meet for dinner..(Berry)

Weather in Nassau:

[Irishmom23]

akid@hart,
I WISH we were going down Wednesday night, rather than getting up at 4:30AM for our flight down from Boston! One o'clock at the statue in the lobby sounds great! Our flight arrives around 10:00AM so I can't imagine that we will not be at the port by 12N. It is soo exciting!! Irishmom23 (Kim)

[akid@hart]

Eat your heart out.....it's time to go...will write a review when we get back.
