Well I guess that it would be best if I started by how I got to this point first huh, Well in Oct 2007 I went on a Carnival Fam trip where I was introduced to 2 very special people. We were able to see a couple Carnival ships but while we were in the port we got to see the Wonder and the Magic from afar.. Well all 3 of us being huge Disney fans, decided that Carnival was just not the right cruiseline for us.. WE wanted a DISNEY cruise.. So after going our seperate ways, we emailed and called and 2 weeks later we were able to book a 3 night on the Wonder for May 8th 2008.. It seemed like it was so far away and thinking a bout it now, it was just like yesterday.Well we did have a few problems along the way but it all was settled until about a month before the cruise one of the girls had to bail so it was just the 2 of us now.. So the plans were made and finalized and off we went..
( May 8th)Well this morning I had planned on getting up early and trying to see a dolphin but decided to go ahead and sleep in and was very happy that I did.. Cause before I knew it.. It was time to head to head to the ship.. I was so excited.... My eyes welled up as I could see the Wonder from over the bridge..http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k148/carrielynn99/888625601112_0_ALB.jpg It is an AMAZING sight and to know that I am going to be spending 3 days on it was just a wonderful feeling... Once we were able to get to the drop off location and get our checked lugage taken care of then it was time to get checked in.. As soon as we walked in there was Minnie... http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k148/carrielynn99/779935601112_0_ALB.jpg
I was so excited... So we got a couple of photos and went to check in.. It was really quick and easy and we were on our way.. After some photos of the terminal and some quick calls home it was time to enter those famous ears to head to the ship.http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k148/carrielynn99/809635601112_0_ALB.jpgAfter the embarkation photo we went across the plank and they announced out names. http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k148/carrielynn99/100_7312.jpg Then we headed upstairs to find some food... Well we weren't able to figure out where the Beach Blanket was so we had Pizza at the Pizzaria. But later I did find the BBB... http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k148/carrielynn99/650125601112_0_ALB.jpgAbout that time we were able to head to our room.. We had a verandah room.. And it was HUGE and amazing.. It was a handicape rom wheelchair accessible.. The verandah was 1/2 of the back of the boat..http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k148/carrielynn99/289265601112_0_ALB.jpg Well after we got settled I was off to explore the ship.. Then I went to the Disboard Meeting at 3pm and meet some of the people that I had been talking to for atleast an hour and before I knew it, time for the saftly drill.. That was fun Me in a cute orange life jacket... http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k148/carrielynn99/715255601112_0_ALB.jpgYEAH..

It was neat to see the coast in a different way.. http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k148/carrielynn99/880206601112_0_ALB.jpgThen it was off to get ready to Palo's.. http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k148/carrielynn99/282706601112_0_ALB.jpgI was do looking forward to this and it was awsome..
