If anyone has been to Anitgua, Barbados or St Lucia, please post a little information about what you did or what you wish you had done while you were there. If we have some good suggestions for shore excursion we can see how many people are interested and hopefully book a DIS group tour.

We need suggestions for the wording on the t-shirt. It will say "how low can we go" but we need help on the wording to contain something about 10-night or Southern Caribbean with the date.

If you have any ideas about get-togethers, special functions, etc. Please don't be shy, post away!

Hi! This is our first cruise and we're really excited about it. What about having a "crop" session to share your scrapbooking ideas? pat

[Miss Eeyore]

Why don't we add "dining linking" as one of the special jobs that one of us can do. As soon as we start a roster we can call and link the existing numbers, and then add more folks to the link as they join and want to link reservations. Hopefully the folks at DCL will just keep a list of our links and then be able to simply add folks as they join the fun.

I think it would be GREAT fun to have our group together at meals at either of the seatings......we'll be guaranteed our choice of great tablemates.......as opposed to our recent experience on RCCL.

[Miss Eeyore]

If folks will PM me with their info I'll get started. I'll need whatever info you feel comfortable giving out amongst these SCARY strangers.

First names of adults and names and ages for the kids.

Oh.....cabin number (if known) and dinner seating assignment.

Thanks!

Marilee

[Miss Eeyore]

I think we definitely need sail away bubbles and glow items for the pirate party

oh...and something I saw on that <other> cruise line were decorations for the noteholders on each of the group's doors.

[Miss Eeyore]

I hope we have some "friends" in some of these new ports to welcome us as Roberto has welvcomed the Magic to Acupolco

[first timers]

I'm confused. Which thread do we post on, this thread or the Sept 7th 10 night anyone else cruising? Alex

Sounds fun!! I suppose we should also schedule a meeting place for the sail away.

I also think it would be great to have dining links so that we can at least say "Hey!" at dinner. Great idea!

Should we post who we are and who is traveling with us again on this thread? also, I asked on the other thread right before we stopped using it so I will ask here. What do you do you do if you want to rebook while on your cruise but the cruise you want to take is not being booked yet?

[gabbysmom04]

Also, I would like to help in anyway I can. So if anyone has any ideas for me to do please let me know.

Hmmm I'm not sure about the question but I assume that if the schedule isn't out for the time period you want to travel that you couldn't book it. I don't think you could book something that wasn't in the computer yet. I know that I booked my original 9/06 cruise in Apr/May 05 which is about a year and a half out.

Does anyone know for sure?

gabbysmom04,

If the cruise is not available yet just book a different cruise and you can change it later. That way you get the 10% discount and the onboard credit. When we were on the repo cruise we booked the May 27 double CC cruise, then the 10 night came out. All I had to do was call Disney and tell them I wanted to change that reservation to the 10 night, I had to pay an additional $50 per person deposit because it was a longer cruise but we got a $250 onboard credit now instead of the $200 for the 7 day. And I still need to call to see if we can get the $500 credit.

You don't have to post all your info again as long as Marilee/Miss Eeyore has it, you can send her a PM to make sure.

[gabbysmom04]

Thank you for the help. I assumed that I could just book a cruise and then change it later, I just wanted to be sure.
