I've been waiting anxiously for someone to start a meet thread for the Western Caribbean out of Galveston November 16, 2013... Finally realized I could start one myself!
Dh & I booked a dummy cruise when we were on the Wonder for the first time in September 2011. We've moved our reservation here there and everywhere trying to settle on a) a cruise we want and b) a cruise we could afford. We'd had our heart set on a Mexican Riviera and well, you know what happened there.
So we finally settled on the Caribbean out of Galveston departing Nov 9, 2013. Getting to Florida is soooo expensive and if we were going to PC, then we'd have to factor in extra $$ for WDW. So Galveston seemed a good compromise. So we moved our reservation, even managed to get the cabin we wanted on the deck we wanted. Whew...nothing more to do than wait (and pay!). Then we got the email that they'd changed the itinerary to a Bahamas cruise.
Sigh..so again with the moving of the reservation! Still hoping we can get our cabin changed as we're hoping for 7th deck (currently on the 6th) but no biggie if we don't.
Now I want to see if anyone else is cruising with us. Given all the changes DCL is doing, it'll be interesting to see if this cruise even sails as it is now! Hence the 'wondering' in the subject line. I've never bought travel insurance but I'm definitely getting it this time!!
Our Pirate Gang includes me, my dh and our two girls, who will be 12 & 8 when we sail. They don't know that we have a cruise even booked and we don't plan on telling them till waaaaaaaaaaaaay closer to the sail date. I just can't put up with 11 months of "how many more sleeps?"
So that was a long-winded start to the thread. Hopefully there will be others sailing with us. My kids would be disappointed if they can't find anyone else to play with!!!
