You could always buy a small electric tea kettle & bring it with you. I have one at home and it boils my water when making tea or coffee. Just a suggestion.

In other news My DH won a important contest at work that will save the company big $$$$ and time. He was rewarded with a sizeable Disney gift card After much discussion we booked our first Disney cruise. A 5 day Caribbean cruise in Feb because we found a great rate for this cruise We were able to apply the gift card to the booking and now our out of pocket expense was cut by over 1/3
I am nervous and excited. I have never cruised before

Congrats to you both!

They have the Cusinart Pod coffee machines now. so you can get a cup of hot water, just run it without coffee. If you need more hot water you can go down to The Marketplace. There is a hot water spigot for tea next to coffee machine.

What are your ports of call?

It's a 5 day cruise so only 2 ports of call. We leave from Miami and go to Cozumel and then the famous Castaway Cay which I am very excited to visit. When he brought the "prize" home I checked out what we could do and found a really good price on this cruise so I jumped on it. He was thrilled because the giftcard covered a decent portion of the cruise

I was thinking about you and your cruise expertise. I will probably have a million questions when I start to plan over the weekend. I have never cruised before. I will send a PM at some point with some questions. I will be happy to take any tips you might have to tell me

I'm missing the Wonder so much that I haven't been able to return to the cruise boards since I said my "thank yous" for fish extender gifts and posted a review of our most wonderful August vacation. Still watching to see where the Wonder will go next . . .

I am so excited Nervous too because this is new for me and I am good with things I know and sometimes new things make me nervous I will admit but I have already been looking into future cruises as well

Thanks. If I have no choice I will do that, but I'm trying to avoid having to pack more things since we have to pay for checked luggage.

I leave on the Disney Fantasy on Saturday so if you PM me and I don't get back to you for over a week, that's why.
Just a quick head's up: I've been at Castaway Cay pretty much every month of the year and in February, if you are lucky enough to get a warm enough day to actually hit the beach, the water at that time of the year will turn you blue. In March last year, we got lucky and had a warm day (wherein in past years it was too cold for me to hit the beach) but the water was so cold that I was the ONLY person in the water at the adult beach. I have to admit it was freezing cold but the air warmed me up enough to lay on my raft and float around. People don't realize that Castaway isn't the Caribbean, it's the Bahamas and that's pretty far north, so like central Florida, in November, December, January, February and March, it can be iffy for beach days there - same as it can be iffy at WDW as far as air temps during those months. However, the weather in Cozumel is super in February!! Our favorite time to cruise the Caribbean is in January and February!
