Disney Dream - March 10, 2017 3 Nights (Nassau, CC, PC)

[kingpinpearce]

OK, giving this a try...

First time cruiser doing a Sea and Land dream vacation with my wife, my then 14 year old daughter, and my then 11 year old son. 3 day cruise followed by 4 days in the parks. Looking forward to it.

Always up for meeting new and interesting people, but have no clue what's going on here yet. Just starting the thread so others can find it and we can work it out from there!

Blessings!

Hi Kingpin - my family and I will be doing our first cruise about he Disney Dream as well during this same time! It will be me, my husband and our 7 1/2 year old son. We have done Disney a couple of times with our son and more than a few times with just my husband and me but this is our first cruise. Looking forward to it!

Yay! I am so excited to find this board! DH, DS (3 y.o.), DD (7 y.o.), and I are really looking forward to this trip! This will be our second DCL cruise, but first where DS is old enough to enjoy the kids' activities. We have been DVC and AP since 2011, and moved from Lake Geneva, WI, to Celebration, FL, just over two years ago (though we're still Chicagoans at heart, accent and all).

Hi Betty - Is this your second time on the Dream and going to the Bahamas? I'm trying to decide if we should do any excursions in Nassau. I'm hearing conflicting information. My son will almost be 8 when we cruise and he loves dolphins and marine life. We were going to do a dolphin excursion but the only one at Atlantis includes the water park and we wouldn't do that so the cost is very expensive.

Hi GatorJoe! We might be interested in the Fish Extender group. This is our first cruise so I'm not sure what it's all about and with such a short cruise I'm worried there won't be enough time. Can you explain it a little more? Thanks!

Hi there! Joe here. Fish Extenders is a lot of fun and not near the work as some may think. You can search it here on this site to find out a lot of info. Too much to explain, but some specifics, 1) your son will love it. 2) You'll have plenty of time. 3) There are no more than 10 cabins, including yours in a F. E. group. 4.) It's kinda like a Secret Santa thing. - You can make little crafts/trinkets or buy them and deliver them to the cabins, usually one thing per person in the cabin per cruise. I haven't even started yet.

See my next post for some more info

Thanks, Joe! I found it and sent a note to join. I'll see what I can find and figure out.

boymom8, in regards to your earlier Nassua excursion question, you can google Nassua excursions and get more options. Pricey for dolphin encounters though. All excursions are safe there as tourism is important as are tourists. When are daughters were your son's age they wanted to stay on board at the kid's club. Very, very little for kids there! It's a little nasty there, for sure. We've been there about twenty times.
