Feb 25-2013 ~Wonder 5night W. Caribbean

Hi all Thought I'd start a thread for our cruise. This will be our first W Caribbean . So, of course I'm excited to see some new ports. Lots of new planning also because we will be sailing out of Miami instead of PC. So we can all share info on getting around this new DCL port.

I have added your thread to the cruise meet list

Have a great cruise!

Anyone else on this sailing yet? We haven't booked, but we are considering this one for after the Princess Half Marathon.

So far it looks like I've got the entire boat to myself

I wonder why no one has booked this one?

[breakingd_awn]

There probably are alot of other people , just not on here so far. Maybe they'll do Kids sail free That would be nice

Well ,we switched our verandah room to 2 connecting Secret Porthole rooms. 5 of us in one room(4 of which are girls) with one bathroom just seems insane. We had the connecting SPH rooms on our first cruise in 2010and really liked them . Plus I like having 2 bathrooms with 4 girls....1 is NOT enough.Geez....is there anyone else going?

I booked this cruise yesterday as my "dummy" cruise. The price was great

I'll have to see if I can come up with the $$ before December, if not will probably move it back to the fall. I wish the itineraries were out for 2014.

I'm buying disney gift cards from kroger and using them to pay off the cruise. That way I get the fuel perks, I just filled up for 1.71@gallon. I'll be getting cheap gas till the cruise is paid off

I glanced at the promo when I was at Kroger. What are the details? cents of for every card purchased or per dollar amount purchased? Are the discounts stackable?

Thank you!!

[breakingd_awn]

I'mpretty sure it's points per dollar spent. The points can be used for a month . I bought them on the 28th and my receipt said I had till the 30th.Next time I buy more I'll be sure to go with a near empty tank.

That's good thinking I've never noticed Disney cards at my Kroger though, I'll have to look more closely

Anyone else on this cruise?

Wow... VERY Small DIS group for this sailing!!! Looks like we will be joining you on this cruise My family consists of me, Roxanne; my husband Mike and our 2 girls who will be 8 and 12 when we sail. We are new transplants to the Calgary, AB area- we are originally from way up in Northern Alberta. This will be the second leg of a B2B for our family. We have been on 2 cruises before, both on the Wonder out of LA. Loved the ship and the crew so much!! We did FE's both times, and organized the FE group for our last cruise, but this time we will opt out. Since we are on B2B cruises with 9 days total.... I can't imagine taking all the stuff in our luggage and trying to fit in clothes too!! (I generally refuse to do laundry on vacation so you can see my dilemma!!).
For those of you who are new to cruising or the Wonder- be rest assured- the ship is beautiful. Many of the crew have come to be dear friends who I can't wait to see again!!
