Good Morning Cruisers!

Weather here is getting better, nice today with high of 56, tomorrow is supposed to be high 60's, maybe even 70.

Leslie and Janis, we do need to all get together at WDW.

Have a great day!

We had snow a couple of weeks ago in the Mountains near Boise. We chose that day to go "four wheelin'" in our minivan on the back side of the ski lodge mountain. Scarey! Not what we planned to do, but we made it!

You must have been up at Bogus Basin? My parents moved to Boise when I started 9th grade, lived there for about 6 years. My parents now live in Meridian.

I have added a link to your thread on the main index page. Have a great cruise!

And while the ship sails from Victoria after 6:30 pm (last guest aboard), she will not dock in Vancouver until early morning the next day, there isn't any overnight there.

Do you know this for sure? The DCL website only gives a guests ashore time, and it really doesn't make a lot of sense to me for the Wonder to sail in circles when there is an available dock. Furthermore, giving at least some of the crew some shore leave would be good for morale, and a little familiarity with the area would be useful when guests ask them questions on subsequent cruises.

Based on prior sailing itineraries, DCL has said: Overnight in X Port, Such as Barcelona or Madrid or where ever it was in Europe and they say the same for San Fran. And while a pier may be available, perhaps the Longshoremen are not. Just my opinion, and you know everyone has one. Perhaps there is someone on the boards who know more about it than anyone here and can chime in?

Thank you for the welcome

Does anyoneknow how 7620 cabin is? Good/bad location? Cat 7 Navagators Verandah.

Also, I am taking a DCL cruise on 12/3/09 I am wondering if I go to them the DCL rep onboard (if they are still doing this!) if they can put the discount or OBC onto this resv?

Thanks.
Cindy

Hi Cindy,
I haven't stayed on deck 7, but I expect 7620 will be a nice, quiet cabin. Being aft of the aft elevators, you will have little traffic. And you will have cabins above and below you, so no nearby sources of noise. If you are stuck in your cabin due to kid(s), you'll be in a perfect location to watch fireworks.

The only negative is that the aft thrusters can be noisy. But they are only used for docking and undocking, so they aren't much of an issue at all.

Welcome aboard!

Brian

Thanks Brian. 7620 was originally cat'ed as cat 5 but was downgraded to cat 7 due to it being obstructed (it appears to me this hasn't changed in over 5 yrs. If you look at travelocity and others they catagorize this as cat 5). I am wondering how obstructed this is? We were in 6134 on our last DCL cruise and that obstruction was very minor. Sorry didn't specify in original post.

Yup! It was the backside. I love, love, love it here! I have to go back to Oregon next week - I'm not looking forward to it, but I think we may retire here in a few years.

Here you go! http://www.wdwinfo.com/wdwinfo/cruise-new/roomreport.cfm?Room=7620

You can just google the cabin number and ship, and if there is a report out there it will show up!

The weather here is beautiful today - hi 60's and sunshine! I'm spending way too much time looking at Victoria/Vancouver info over the past week! I hate getting all the planning done so early, cuz then you just wait.
