Oops! I just meant to copy itinerary-didn't realize there were links! I'll go edit!

Jmariab64 · May 6, 2015

I booked it while I was on my last cruise. I'm glad to see that someone else might be joining me! I was wondering! :flower1:

gumbypee · May 7, 2015

I am hoping for a raise at work and/or getting a second job to pay for it. I haven't been on a Disney cruise since October 2012! My favorite cruise ever so I really want to go back! It was on the Magic too (pre-re-imagined) so it will be nice to see the old girl again!

Jmariab64 · May 7, 2015

I definitely won't be getting a raise, so maybe I should look for a 2nd job, too! I can see myself spending all of that income on cruises! :rolleyes1

gumbypee · May 8, 2015

Lol! Just heard that I got the second job! Yay (kinda!)

Do you know how much deposit is for cruise? Percent? Dollar amount? Depend on TA? It's been so long since I had a vacation I don't remember process!

Jmariab64 · May 8, 2015

Congratulations!

For 7 days or more, it's 10% for the deposit. Definitely use a TA so you'll get onboard credit. That's based on the cost of the cruise.

gumbypee · May 9, 2015

Awesome! Deposit not as steep as I thought it would be! I have two TAs that I will decide on last minute. Gotta love that credit!!

Been to any of these ports before?

Jmariab64 · May 9, 2015

Nope-I just went to Cozumel, Grand Cayman and Key West for the first time last month. This will be my first time in the Eastern Caribbean.

I think you may want to name the TA right away, so you get full credit with them. If you wait I think you get less.

My family and I are taking this cruise. Can't wait!

gumbypee · May 11, 2015

Went to Cozumel, grand cayman and costa maya on my first dis cruise in 2012. Excited to be back on ship with new ports including castaway cay!!!

Didn't realize that about TA-will try to hurry and save!

gumbypee · May 11, 2015

Welcome Doctor10!!!

I can't believe it is a year away!!!

Been to any ports before?

I don't even know what there is to do on castaway cay for free or pay!

Doctor10 · May 11, 2015

Thank you Gumbypee. I can't believe its a year away as well :guilty:

I've been to St Thomas and it's so awesome, I love it there. As for CC, I've not been there since 2000 so I don't know how much it's changed in regards as to what they offer. When we went we just did the beach because we had young kids. :earsboy:

gumbypee · May 12, 2015

I haven't even begun to look at excursions yet! I always do them bc I love to travel the world.

How old are your kids this time around?

Doctor10 · May 12, 2015

I've not looked at them either. I'm pretty sure, since we were just in St Thomas, we may just walk around town some or stay on the ship.
Our kids are grown adults now and won't be joining us on this cruise. It will be myself, my hubby, and our moms.

gumbypee · May 13, 2015

Adults only! Sounds fun! I have been trying to get my mom on a cruise but she would rather visit the mountains.

Me? I love being out in the middle of the water, early morning, watching sunrise and relaxing listening to water and just sitting there before day's adventures begin.

We only have three people in this thread but already a variety, solo adult, adult family, Oops realized I'm not sure other poster travel partners

Doctor10 · May 13, 2015

Nothing wrong with the mountains! I love those as well as cruising. You are right though about being out on the water and watching the sun rise. It's beautiful.

We should get more people in the thread as it gets closer to cruise time. We still are a ways off yet. pirate:

gumbypee · May 14, 2015

I know it's still quite a ways off before this cruise and we will get more ppl. I was just so excited to start thread. I will calm down lol

Doctor10 · May 14, 2015

Hahaha. It's so easy to get excited about Disney!
