March 15, 2009 - Spring Break on the Wonder

[Holly724]

I don't see any thread for this date, so I figured I would start one. This will be our first Disney cruise, and we are so looking forward to it!! I'll be traveling with my DD who will be 8 at the time. Hope to see some other folks join up!

[jcarlson]

I've heard so much good stuff about Disney cruises - we are so excited for this trip.

Yes, we're from Texas. I live around the Houston area.

Are you referring to the 3 day Bahamas Wonder cruise that leaves Port Caneveral on March 12th, 2009? If so, my family and I will be on this cruise too!:cheer2:

This thread is actually for the 4 day cruise that leaves on March 15th. You might want to start a thread for your cruise date so people can find you.

Have fun on your cruise!

We are from the Dallas area. About 20-30 min from Dallas.

How did ya'll weather the storm (Ike)?

[Holly724]

We all took a pretty good beating from the storm. There are still alot of folks without power or water and it will take a long time for the Galveston area to be back up and running again.

[FortWorthLeonardFam]

We will be on this cruise. We went on this cruise Spring Break of 2007 and had a blast. Our girls will be 6 and 4 on this cruise and we are looking forward to another great time. They love the camp and our older one stayed in there more than she stayed with us last time. It is a fun time for the whole family. If there are other families with little girls or boys going let us know so we can all meet up for drinks when we get there. Damian, Robin, Avery, & Ayden

Hi everyone! We just booked our spring break trip for March 15, our first Disney cruise. I will be sailing with DH, DD6 and DD2. Would love to chat with others with girls of similar age....I'm afraid my girls will be afraid to go into the kids club by themselves since the won't be in the same groups so making friends early will be key!!!

[Flook Girls]

Hi Everyone! We are coming from Arizona and this will be our first cruise, as Christmas present for us! My DD 12 and I, would love to know of any others her age.
Can't wait for Spring break!!!!

[wedyer5]

Hi All,

We're coming out of Chicago to cruise with family from Arizona.

Total of 5 Adults and 6 Kids (15B,14B,11B,9G,7G,4G)

This will be our first Disney Cruise. The family from Arizona went 2 years ago on same cruise and loved it.

We went on a RCCL Liberty of the Seas 7 night Western Caribbean in April 08, so we're excited to see the differences between the two lines.

Hope to meet most of you on the cruise.

Hi Bill,

We are going on this cruise too, with the kids.

My wife & I were on the Wonder this New years Cruise. (a few days ago)The Cruise was GREAT!!! Disney went over the top… Free Champagne!! The young ones got grape juice. A Balloon drop in the Atrium!! The ship was full but didn’t seem to overcrowded.
On the way back at the airport. We ran into someone that was on RCCL.
He said had been on both Disney & RCCL. He said the food & entertainment was much better on Disney.

Welcome! I have two teen(17 16) girls coming with me. but they dont know it yet....

[PirateSnowmen]

I've always wanted my parents to surprise me with a trip like that... but, then again, I'm the one who plans 3/4 of the Disney stuff, so that might not be such a great idea. :rotfl:

I think I even had a dream once where my parents woke me up early and said we were going on a cruise that day... but it was only a dream. Too bad :rolleyes:

I'm definitely excited for this cruise. Actually, I'm excited for anything that doesn't involve school and gets me out of town :rotfl2:

I'll ask my parents later tonight if they want to participate. I just briefly explained it to my mom, and she sounded interested, so I'll explain it to her better and I'll let you know what she says.

We'll be in room 6132. It'll be me (Emily, 17), my mom (Laurie) and my dad (Dale).

I wish my daughter were going with us on this trip - she is also 17 - But alas, she decided to graduate from HS a semester early and we dropped her off at Texas Tech last weekend!!!

Let me know if your family is in - I have done several FE exchanges and have always enjoyed it!

[Iowa6]

The Iowa6 have just signed on to cruise with all of you. It will be Me(28+10), DH (38), DD (13), DD (10), DD (7), and DS (6).

Looking like the Ship is filling up fast. When i was on the Wonder 2 weeks ago. I checked how full the ship was, it was half full. Now Cat 9 - 11 is left...

I was on there over New Year. It was Full!! But it was not bad, i could move.

Well... I have some potentially bad news. We might not be going now :( :( My daughter really wants to spend Spring Break with us now (now she tells us) and I can't get her on the boat because there is no quad space available. I am really dissapointed on the one hand, but glad that my baby girl wants to go on our family vacation! Still keeping my fingers crossed that something will open up....

i dont know if you can get out of the cancellation fee. 50% now...:(

Yeah, luckily I can. I am on a special TA rate which allows me to cancel up to two weeks in advance with no penalties!! Thank goodness or else it wouldn't be an issue, I would sooooo be on the boat!

[spacerangerqueen]

Woohoo! We're going on a cruise!

:sail:

It will be me and my DBF pirate: as well as his parents and 2 brothers, all crammed nicely into 2 rooms :crowded:

I'll have to see if DBF's mom wants to participate in a fish extender. I think she will, but I'll get back to you soon. I hope.

I was hoping my wife would want to do the fish extender but I think she thinks it would be too much work. I may bring surprises for those of you even if we don't hang an extender, especially on St. Patricks Day!

We just booked a room at the Atlantis using points so we can play at the water park. Has anybody else spent time at the water park or plan on going there while we are in Nassau? I heard the water was heated which I think would be a must in March. Hope it is fun and worth it. I heard you could book a room at the Comfort Suites and gain access to the Atlantis water park, but they showed to be sold out already. We had originally booked the dolphin excursion for the day, but after reading some posts we decided that our DD's attention spans may not last that long.

Can't wait for some warm sunny weather at CC. I hope Disney decides to give the employees a little break and we stay at Nassau until midnight like they did during our 2007 SB trip.

We're going over to Atlantis to play at the waterpark too! My mom booked us a room at the Comfort Suites back in January. I do hope the water is heated since it has potential to be a little chilly. It should be fun!
