FEB 18th anyone

[miss-jill]

I am looking for anyone going on the cruise on feb 18th! I don't see a meet started for this date!

[DisneyJenn23]

I thought maybe I was the only one going to be on the ship!! Just booked last week! I am super excited because this cruise will be number 5 which will bump me to gold status!!

[miss-jill]

this will be cruise number 2 for us. Do you have children? We have a daughter age 5. I am wondering about the sting rays and if we should book the ex.

[DisneyJenn23]

I don't have any children. I am going on the cruise with a friend from work. I have never done the sting ray excursion, so not sure if it gets full early. We usually spend the day laying on rafts in the water!

[jilljill]

I'm going to move this to the meets boards for you.

Have a great cruise.

[IrishCowboy]

I have added your thread to the 2010 Wonder Cruise Meet list :thumbsup2

[miss-jill]

we might just stay on the boat in Naussa have you also just done the beach?

[DMRick]

My DH and I will be there. No kids or grandkids on this cruise.

Doris & Gil

[JSA]

Looking forward to my first cruise (Disney or otherwise). Taking my two boys (8 and 10), and very much looking forward to it. We're doing the Aquaventure Dolphin event in Nassau. I wish I had some insights for you, but--again--we're flying blind here. Very excited!

[DisneyJenn23]

My DH and I will be there. No kids or grandkids on this cruise.

Doris & Gil

This is my 5th Disney Cruise. I have no kids and choose Disney because of all the great adult only activities! I am hoping April will be my first cruise with my 5 month old goddaughter, but for now I am looking forward to the quiet cove pool!!

[DisneyJenn23]

we might just stay on the boat in Naussa have you also just done the beach?

I like to stay on the boat while in Nassau. Sometimes we head to Atlantis for some gambling, but I enjoy spending the day at the pool and doing some of the activities on the ship!

[ckcurtis]

This is our 1st cruise EVER!!! I am so excited my husband and I have been keeping it a secret from the girls until Christmas. I can't wait to tell them! Does anyone know how the weather should be around this time?

Kim

[DisneyJenn23]

I think the weather can be hit or miss. I have only done a cruise in January and one weekend it was 85 the whole time and the next weekend it was in the 60s. I live in Florida and we have been having some really warm weather so I am hoping it stays that way for February!

[miss-jill]

How old are your girls? Only a few more days till you let them know!!! This will be cruise 2 for us. The 1st one was wonderful! I hope the weather is good but last time it rained so much and we still had a wonderful time.:wizard:

[miss-jill]

We are going to stay on the boat in Naussa after some of the things I just found out about it. People being robbed at gun pt. no thanks! I would rather stay on the boat and swim.

My girls are 12 & 5. They find out in the morning! I can't wait. Do you have any children that will be on the ship? I am hoping that my 12yr will want to participate in the kids activities. However she is just so hard to predict sometimes. Im hoping she will make a friend so she will want to go and hang out in the kids section.

[karendvc07]

Hey everyone! My fiance and I just booked this cruise. It's going to be for our honeymoon! :love: I can't wait! This is my third cruise and my soon-to-be DH's first! I just wish we could have done a longer one, but any time aboard DCL is nothing to complain about! :yay:

[miss-jill]

Only 43 more days until we land in FL!! Can't wait!! Buying summer clothing now. I hope it's 70 or higher. :cool1:

[miss-jill]

Would anyone like to do FE's on this Cruise? My daughter loved it on our last cruise, the little gifts made her day and she loved passing things out as well. Let me know and we can start a list.:flower3:

[DisneyJenn23]

I just looked at my reservation and our room number was posted today. We booked a Cat 11 GTY and ended up with a Cat 8 Deluxe Oceanview on Deck 5!! Hopefully the pixie dust keeps flying!!

Your so lucky!! Doesn't look like we r so lucky! Maybe at port we will get a deal.:dumbo:

[ckcurtis]

I'm new to this board, can someone tell me what FE are?

Awesome! :thumbsup2 And pixie dust for those hoping for better upgrades! pixiedust:

[miss-jill]

I'm new to this board, can someone tell me what FE are?

FE or Fish extender is a bag with pockets for each person in your group you hang next to your door on a metal fish. (you can look up fish extender on ebay for what they look like) Other people on the cruise who are doing extenders also have a bag. You go around filling each person extender with little gifts each day. And they fill yours. It's just a little fun think and keeps the kids busy in the am when not much is going on. My daughter loved to give the gifts as much as she loved to get them. Let me know if any of you want to do them this cruise and we can start a list with your stateroom number and names ages of people in your group. Thanks Jill

[SandrainMA]

I can't wait to go! I'm going with my 7 year old daughter. We are both very excited. We are going to do the Atlantis Aquarium excursion.

[miss-jill]

I can't wait to go! I'm going with my 7 year old daughter. We are both very excited. We are going to do the Atlantis Aquarium excursion.


We did that excursion back in May. I thought it would be so much better. The tour is ok but a little much for my 5 year old. And it stoped in the Casino and pt out things she could have cared less about. I thought the Aquarium would have been a lot better (Bigger). It looks so nice in all the pics you see. The tanks with fish are gray and dirty. The waterpark looked great but we didn't get that with our excursion. After the tour we ended up walking around a little and just coming back to the boat. I wasn't thrill with how much it cost for what we got.:headache:Maybe you'll have better luck, just thought I would let you know.
We are so looking forward to the cruise!!:yay: Is this your 1st one?

[DisneyJenn23]

I just checked the mail and we got our cruise documents today! Woo Hoo! I love the new format! So organized!!

[miss-jill]

I just checked the mail and we got our cruise documents today! Woo Hoo! I love the new format! So organized!!

Hope mine come today!! I can't wait. I need to get out of NY so bad it's been so cold here in Buffalo!!! Is it getting any hotter in fl? Last I heard it was high 40's low 50's.

[SandrainMA]

We are so looking forward to the cruise!!:yay: Is this your 1st one?

Hi. Yes this is our first Disney Cruise! thanks! We are DVC members and have gone to WDW many many many times :) but this is the first time we are trying a cruise. My daughter (7) loves fish (all marine life) and swimming so that's why we're doing the Atlantis Aquarium excursion. I want to check out Atlantis and this is a good way for us both to be happy! --and for less than $100 for the both of us, that's fine. Although my daughter is most excited about free ice cream on board!

We didn't get to swim at Atlantis it was not part of the excursion we bought but when my daughter is older I would go back for the water slides. We also have been to Disney world many many times. Once you do the Cruise you will be hooked my husband and I like it better then Disney world. Ha ha about the Ice Cream they will send mickey bars to your room even though it's not on the room service menu!! I don't know who likes that more my daughter me or my hubby.

[SandrainMA]

HI~
I know my daughter would love to do the water slides, but I'm going to try to convince her with the swimming on board and at Castaway Cay, we don't have to do that (that will work, right? :rotfl:). She does love aquariums, so I know she'll enjoy looking at the fish. And, oh, yes, the Mickey Bars...I'm sure we'll get those as well...and cake...and more icecream...and cookies...and they'll have to roll us off the ship at the end! Think I'll up my workouts now in preparation! ---and then off to zebra dome land when we get off the ship....more calories!!!!

[miss-jill]

-Has anyone been to the nick hotel? If so what are the best things for my 5 year old daughter to do? Should I book some kind of dinning, is it worth it?

- 1 month from now my bags will be packed and I'll be ready to go!!:cheer2:

[tink_n_pooh]

DH & I will be on this cruise as well :goodvibes

This will be our 2nd cruise but very first on DCL

Less then a month to go!!!!!!!!:yay::cheer2::butterfly

Hope mine come today!! I can't wait. I need to get out of NY so bad it's been so cold here in Buffalo!!! Is it getting any hotter in fl? Last I heard it was high 40's low 50's.

I was just in Buffalo this weekend. And you are right... It was COLD!! It is really warming up down here. We are going to hit 80 tomorrow! I'm thinking a Blizzard Beach day to work on my tan before the cruise is in order!! :) I hope the weather keeps warming up for February!

80 wow!!! Maybe I'll go to a Blizzard lake here and work on my tan :rotfl: ha ha! Enjoy the nice weather and lets hope it's around when we are all on the cruise!
-By the way how is Blizzard beach for the little kids?

Maybe the sun can reflect off the snow and help with a tan! :rotfl2:

Blizzard is considered the more adventurous water park. They have better slides and are geared more towards adults. The kid’s area is super cool. They have slides and zip lines, but they also have the deepest water in the park. Odd right? I guess with the zip line it has to be a certain depth of water.

[tink_n_pooh]

Less than a month to go :woohoo:

Are there any other 'adult only' DISers on this cruise?

[miss-jill]

[oateoateo]

My girls are 12 & 5. They find out in the morning! I can't wait. Do you have any children that will be on the ship? I am hoping that my 12yr will want to participate in the kids activities. However she is just so hard to predict sometimes. Im hoping she will make a friend so she will want to go and hang out in the kids section.

Kim

Sounds good we will pick somethings up for you guys this weekend. Looking forward to the trip. Lets hope for great weather!

[miss-jill]

In a week we will be in FL. Hows the weather??

[cbobalina]

I can't wait until next week! We've been buried under 3ft of snow since this weekend and we're getting another foot and a half tonight and tomorrow! :sad2: I just hope we can dig ourselves out of this snow and that we don't get anymore next week. At least let it stop long enough for me to get out of here and to Florida... :scared:

[DisneyJenn23]

In a week we will be in FL. Hows the weather??

It is pretty cold right now (for us Florida folks!). We did not get above 50 today. I have been checking the weather and it looks like high 60s next week. Hopefully it will be warmer as the week goes on. It did say high of 75 in the Bahamas for Friday though! My hope for a tan is not looking so great. Come on 80s! LOL!!

[miss-jill]

I just looked at fl weather as well in 5 days we will be at the nick hotel with all the water slides and the high is 60. I am so sad my poor daughter won't be able to swim.:guilty: Well I am praying that the sun comes out and the weather men are all wrong.:confused3 Castaway should be nice!!!!

[DisneyJenn23]

Our Florida weather men are usually wrong! Let's keep our fingers crossed they are wrong this time too!!

[DMRick]

We hope to bring stuff for the kids FE's. Is there a list with names and cabin numbers? I have stuff already for the following cruise, and if it fits will do the same for this cruise.

[miss-jill]

Our Florida weather men are usually wrong! Let's keep our fingers crossed they are wrong this time too!!

Looks like it might hit 70 if we are lucky!!! Lets all keep our fingers crossed!!:worship:

[DisneyJenn23]

Looks like it might hit 70 if we are lucky!!! Lets all keep our fingers crossed!!:worship:

Looks like a beautiful day in Nassau and Castaway! 75 and sunny! WOO HOO!!

[tink_n_pooh]

I'm really hoping for some nice weather!!

Right now I'm hoping that the snow we are supposed to get tonight isn't too bad and doesn't create too many delays at the airports and REALLY hoping it doesn't decide to come tomorrow night instead since we are flying out early Wednesday morning :headache:

I can't wait to be on that ship in 2 days!

[DVCMikey]

So who is excited about this cruise? I know we can't wait.

I can't wait to kick back in the cadillac lounge and have a few drinks.

[DMRick]

Is there no meet and greet set up?

I hope I have everyone.

People with children. I will bring stuff for those with a cabin number, and something extra and a little more personalized, if I have the kids names by tonight.

Doesn't look like anything is set up. Do you want to set a time and place? This is our first Dis cruise, so I'm not familiar with the ship. Thanks.

Mike and Tink, are you guys together and just posting under different names?

We are married. so yes, we are together.

[DMRick]

We are married. so yes, we are together.
LOL..just wondering :)

[DVCMikey]

LOL..just wondering :)

No problem. We have never been on the ship either so not sure where we can all meet up.

[cbobalina]

So glad the weather is improving and can't wait for Thursday. We are in 5508 and I guess it's too late for us to do FE's, but I am down for the meet if we can put it together.

I've been on the ship before but not sure where we would meet... Maybe the Promenade Lounge? It's a central place that is easy to find.

[tracysaluki]

We've never cruised either so don't know where/when to meet. I'll check back tomorrow. Maybe right after sailaway party??

[DMRick]

I'll check in tomorrow if our hotel has free wifi. Hoefully someone will come up for aplace,otherwise, I hope you all have a great trip.

[cbobalina]

So are we meeting in the Promenade Lounge after the Sailaway Party?

:cool1:

Hey, Tracy! My hubby and I are from Illinois, and both went to SIUC....I assume by your DIS name that you're a Saluki, too? We aren't doing the FE but will probably join everyone at the meet. We'll have to get together!

[karendvc07]

So are we meeting in the Promenade Lounge after the Sailaway Party?

On my last cruise, we had our DIS meet in the Promenade Lounge and it was the perfect place!

[DMRick]

On my last cruise, we had our DIS meet in the Promenade Lounge and it was the perfect place!
Sounds good..pick a time!

[tracysaluki]

How about we meet in prominade lounge 20 mins after the sailaway party ends. I'm a red head. Will be on the look out. Hey Karen yes husband and I both went to siuc. Hope we get to meet

[DMRick]

We'll be wearing disney name pins..see you there.

I posted this on our Feb 21 cruise, but it applies here too!
All I can say is..brrrrr! The wind is unbelievable here at Cape Canaveral. It did get up to 57, but it was short lived. The temp is supposed to go way down the next day or two, and then go up some.

The hotel (County Inn and Suites) is wonderful. They greeted us so nicely, gave us a beautiful room (best I've gotten through priceline) and treated everyone to a meet and greet type thing tonight, where they fed us ribs, tortilla's properly filled, a couple different salads, free wine, beer and soda. Cookies are free at the front desk..life is good.
Our room is very clean...looks like it was recently redone. It has bunk beds and a single bed in a small room, with a tv, and a micro, coffee pot and fridge, table, tv and of course the bed in the main room. Warning to those that smoke. There is no smoking her at all. You sign a paper saying you agree to pay a $250 cleaning fee, if you smoke in the hotel.Shuttle is free to the port. The front desk people are very very nice. Breakfast is free in the morning. Too cold for the pool, which is too bad. It's beautiful. Has a hot tub and kiddle pool as well.

[tink_n_pooh]

It's cold and crowded here at WDW :scared1:

See you all on the ship!

[tink_n_pooh]

We are married. so yes, we are together.

shhhhh.... now they've figured us out :goodvibes

[miss-jill]

So sad to be back. The beach was wonderful! Thank for thr FE gifts! Can't wait to go back!!!

[tink_n_pooh]

I'm curious as to what everyone thought of the cruise?

[oateoateo]

I hope everyone had fun...we sure did. Kagan loved giving and receiving the FE gifts. You all are WAY more creative than I was! Would have preferred better weather, but a chilly day on vacation is better than a warm day when I have to go to work.

Thank you all again for everything! Can't wait to go back!:lovestruc

[DMRick]

I'm curious as to what everyone thought of the cruise?
I'll be writing a review, once we get home. Just off the second half of the b2b (which was really nice, having the ship to ourselves for two full hours!

In short, I was very disppointed in Disney's response to my slipping on wet food/water on the deck (which seems to be a real problem..I wasn't the only one to go down..others did during the week. They really need more help keeping that area dry and clean. I thought I was being cautious when on deck). It took til the last night of. the first cruise to find an ace bandage, and they showed very little concern, (but they did send chocolate dipped strawberries, which were free in the late evening on Route 66 snack area). Finally on the second cruise, they did agree very reluctantly agree to pay the health center bill ($330 of which $143 was just the visit). I'll still have more medical bills when I return home, because their xray wasn't able to see the smaller bones, and the doc said I should get it re xrayed.

The food and regular service was wonderful. We loved Castaway. Cabin was a nice size both cruises, although we got very little sleep the second cruise, because of all the moving of furniture all night over our cabin. I called guest services, it would stop for 15 minutes, and then start again. Not enough for us to do during the days, and not a whole lot at night, other than Route 66 area. We like games during the day and seminars.The galley was over us.

Prob our first and last cruises on Disney, (although that is more about not wanting to see the same Disney shows again, and not enough to keep us busy, and liking to eat 'whenever', and not about the service on the cruise) although we still had a good time.

I'm curious as to what everyone thought of the cruise?

I have been on 3 3-day cruises and I had a great time as usual. Minus the lovely sickness that arrived on Castaway Day. I spent our final night in the bathroom. :( Not sure if it was food poisoning or the Noro Virus, but whatever it was, it was not fun!

Thank you to the person/people who left the little surprises in our stateroom (5018) That was very sweet!

I thought the food was great, better than my 7 day.

Loved Sway!! We had another duo on the 7 day that was horrible, so I was loving Sway and could not get enough of them.

Was not impressed with the adult host or the DJ. I could have played better music with my IPOD.

Had great room hostess and servers!

I just love the Disney Cruise! But after 5. I think its time for so new Pirate Party and Sail Away music!!!

I had to go to the health center the last night. I called and explain what was wrong and the guy told me "Hurry up, We are closing." When I got there they did not even check my temperature. Just threw some drugs at me and told me to wash my hands. Glad I did not have to pay for that!

I always say those decks are so slippery. I finally found flip flops that have good enough traction, but they are so dangerous!!

Hi Jenn. We tried to catch you in your room. I finally asked our room steward to put some play dough in your room. I hope it made it there! I know you didn't have youngsters, but thought you could have some fun with it. We were just down the hall from you, with the Mickey Sorcerer hat on the door.
My sandals were not slippery..they have lots of traction. But the food with the water did me in...the combo was slippery. Another person fell shortly after I did, after I asked them to put the slippery sign up, and they didn't (: She said she was sore all over, but was ok a couple days later.

My husband has been sick since last night, and we missed our segway riding today, as he rests up. Did you have to pay when you went down to the health area? I did tell them he was sick when I asked for the moving above us to be stopped. They noted it.

We did get the play dough!!! Thank you! We are actually both teachers so it was great! We walked down the hall to see where your room was! How funny that we were so close!

I have seen so many people fall on those decks. You would think they would find something that would help with that!

I did not pay anything in the health area. But all they did was handed me meds and send me on my way. I just talked to another teacher at my school, who was also on our cruise, and her daughter had the same sickness I did. But hers was the first night of the cruise. They made her stay in the room the whole time. They were not allowed to go to dinner and sent them menus from each restaurant to the room. They also brought them a DVD player with a list of movies. Looks like Disney keeps the sickness pretty hidden.

Hope everyone feels better soon!

Wow I'm glad we didn't end up with the sickness! And that really stinks about you falling and getting hurt! Disney is normally very on top of that stuff :confused3


I wasn't terribly thrilled with the service on the cruise, maybe it was just our servers but they definently were not up to the disney standards that we are used to :sad2: I was expecting a lot more as far as food quality and variety as well. The chocolate cake we had a Pinochio's Village Haus in MK the other day was better than any of the deserts we had on the entire cruise :scared1:

The best place we ate, and the best service was in Beach Blanket (and yes we went to Palo's..was I the only person not impressed?) on pirate night. It was casual, but we were served. The service was great as was the food. The chef up there was a great cook! There were only about a dozen families, and I just couldn't get over how good it was. Better than Palo at no extra cost.
As for Disney being on top of injuries..I didn't get that impression from others I talked with. I was really surprised to have so many people share stories with me. I think they are really dropping the ball. Tonight we ate at Cat Cora's restaurant, instead of Cape May, where we have had reservations for weeks. I explained my husband had been ill on our cruise, and that he would like to just sit with tea while I ate, or even pay for soup, and they said no, he had to pay for the buffet. I even talked with the manager, because guest services said it was up to him. So we went across to Boardwalk and ate at Cat's place, where hubby just had a bowl of soup (yes, I realize that Cape May is a buffet, but exceptions are often made at Disney. I know they have an exception for those who have had the stomach stapling, because someone was with us last year, and they offered her children's price). I think I am freally Disney'd out.

We had a really good time on the cruise. I had no complaints. Great stateroom, and host. Not the best servers, but not the worst. We stayed on the ship Nassau day, went to the spa, did the beer, martini and whisky tastings, had our best meal a Palo, and then spent a relaxing day on Castaway Cay, parasailing and then relaxing on the beach. It was a pretty great weekend. We both wished we had booked a longer cruise. :thumbsup2
