July 2, 2005 - WE ARE THERE!!! - The DIS Discussion Forums

inkkognito · 05-05-2004, 03:20 PM

I am so excited! We got the July 2, 2005, cruise, and we'll be our very favorite stateroom, 5650. This is going to be an exciting year of anticipation. We sail the Wonder so often and we know the Orlando and Cocoa Beach areas so well that it's like another home. But now I'll be starting from Square One, just like everyone else!! My very "first" cruise

I already dug up a ton of websites for planning purposes. This will be a great new trip to work out my compulsive planning instincts on.

Congratulations Barb.... isn't it exciting, we got the CA-FL repositioning cruise and I feel like I won the lottery today

karebear1 · 05-05-2004, 03:38 PM

Thta's the cruise we're getting a quote for as well! Maybe my DD and I will see you there! Keep your fingers crossed for us..... please! haven't heard anything official yet!

Scratch42 · 05-05-2004, 03:48 PM

A Big Thank You! If it wasn't for your site, I would not be getting these great deals for the reclassifieds!

Thanks Again!

Barb,

We haven't seen/talked to each other in a while -- we were on the Western Caribbean LAST May (24-31) and sat next to each other on the computers one evening.

We just booked through ************* for the 7/9 Mexican cruise and got Cabin 6562 -- we always get Deck 6.

Enjoy your Mexican cruise and it was nice "talking" to you again.

As I recall, you typically use DU. Did you get this ressie through them? Bunch of us still waiting to hear from them!

inkkognito · 05-05-2004, 05:33 PM

Nope, being an obsessive/compulsive, I snagged this one myself. I usually book my trips on board and then transfer them over to DU. I'm sure DU is working feverishly to get everyone's ressies, and I can just imagine the DCL phone lines!

congrats, i've been reading your trip reports for a few years now. i look forward to reading it in preparation for our trip, especially since this'll be quite different than the 37 other cruises (to date) you've taken so far with dcl.

originally we were going to try to book that week as well because dd's pre-school closes the week of 4th of july, but it was more expensive than we though, we decided to go with the repositioning cruise back to florida, especially since it coincides with my 5 year wedding anniversary and my dd's 4th birthday!

of course, living in california, it means we have to fly back to ca one way. the sacrifices we make!

Hygiene99 · 05-05-2004, 06:57 PM

Congrats...

inkkognito · 05-05-2004, 07:08 PM

Believe it or not, by the time the CA cruise comes around, it will be #44 for us (and hopefully the first and only time that we miss Castaway Cay). Hubby says his dream trip would be to do the back to back Eastern and Western right before the repositioning cruise, the repo cruise, and then the first CA sailing...he sure is a dreamer! I can't even imagine 5 weeks on a ship. I would weigh in at 300 pounds when we disembarked.

We just reserved July 2, also. Will put a deposit on Monday and we will have some time to really think about it. We were planning on doing the Wonder but are now trying to see if we can swing this one. We are three families so far. Hopefully in the near future, since you are the expert, you will start a thread of who is going July 2nd. Will talk soon.

inkkognito · 05-06-2004, 11:47 PM

I've got one started on the Cruise Meet Board. Hopefully there will be lots of DISers so we can have a good meet. And I'm going to beg and plead with the early CA cruise "trailblazers" to see if I can get some navs. beforehand so we can all be prepared. Reminds me of how I anxiously waited back in 1998 to hear from the first cruises because we were on #11 (or was it 12?) of the Magic.

Hi Barb and tony,
Congratulations to your new venture - I know the excitement must be awesome - Keep in touch and let me know how it goes.
Much love

AOPI57 · 05-07-2004, 06:55 AM

Just booked July 2 last night. Traveling with AnnaS and my parents. Kids and DH are excited. My parents originally said they wouldn't make the trip but decided to go for it. So we can celebrate after all! Won't have as many family members traveling as was originally planned- still trying to convince them.
