Ed, don't forget to add the link to this meets thread in the Wonder 2013 stickied thread. Trying again for an Aug. AK cruise? Really hope you get to sail on this one.

 

[caitlinsdad]

Thanks Barb, I have a good feeling about this one. Think we will make this one. Like the longer port times. than Seattle.

Only time will tell.

We are Victoria and Dawn, and kids Jacob and Olivia (will be 14 and 11 at cruise time). I will be celebrating my 40th birthday on board.

This one is DCL specific and also includes a lot of GREAT Cruise tips but it's an Excel spreadsheet, not a thread. There are tabs at the bottom with different categories of information. It's very comprehensive!

Mount Rainier and Mount St Helens would both require a car to get there and would each take most of a day to get to and see.

We are very excited to be joining you on this cruise! There are six of us - Merilee, Gary and our four boys - Matthew (16), Andrew (14), Jaxon (11) and Tyler (8).

This will be our second cruise, we just got off the Dream a few days ago and loved it! Our little ones never wanted to leave the Oceaneers Club and the older ones had a lot of fun in Edge and met a lot of new friends. So sad to be home and back to reality. Very excited to be planning another cruise though!
