We're booked! 5b but no room number yet. This will be our first Member's Cruise but our 8th DCL cruise. Can't wait!

To those that have been on a Member's Cruise before - what is it like? What extras are done/given? TIA!

Does anyone know when we'll get our cabin assignments? Any idea if these two cruises sold out? Thanks!

 

[DisneyCruisin']

As of Wednesday, they weren't sold out and I was told it would be three weeks before we got confirmation and room assignments. Hope this helps!

Thanks Kimberly!
It's also my first member cruise, so I can't give you any insight into the particulars of them. I have heard they are not to be missed, so I thought I would splurge on one! We decided to do concierge level cabin (also a first!), so I'm doubly excited to be going on this one! It will also be my first sailing on the Dream, so I hit the cruising version of the trifecta!

I'm so excited for you! My room assignment still hasn't shown up yet

Mine either

 

[bluemoon1070]

The only way I could see mine is through the Castaway Club Id, which someone else recommended doing. Last night I called DCL to get my reservation number so I could log in and they didn't even show we on the cruise. When I called DVC this morning they said I had to wait for the confirmation to come in the mail but they I read the e-mail about the Castaway Club ID and sure enough, it worked.

mine wasn't showing yesterday in the castaway section but it is today!!!

When I look at the cruise details it shows ...

January 10, 2013
Ship
Disney Dream
Ports
Port Canaveral, Florida, Nassau, Castaway Cay, Port Canaveral, Florida ...

Maybe we are stopping at Nassau. Any previous member cruisers have any input?

 

[cwdefouw]

Typically Member cruises don't go to Nassau. The four day usually includes two days at Castaway Cay and a day at sea. This is the first three day member cruise, so no one knows until DVC releases the actual itinerary, although it has been published as having only one day at Castaway Cay. I am speculating that they will continue the trend of no Nassau stop and the other day will be a day at sea. If that is the case, the cruise line probably found it cheaper and faster to just put a standard three day itinerary on the web site at least as a placeholder until the true itinerary is announced.

 

[mommacat56]

I checked the DCL website and we now have our cabin assignment! I decided to splurge on a concierge level cabin (wanted to see that private lounge area first hand) and we have been assigned to 12004! Has anyone out there stayed in any of the concierge suites? If so, how was your experience? Would love to hear all about it.

Anyway, only a little over a year to go...can't wait!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all my fellow cruisers on the Dream's January 2013 Member Cruise!

 

[Hollywood Glitter]

MAGICAL GREETINGS EVERYONE!

My DH and I are happy to say we are going on our first members only Disney cruise! We are so excited! We've been wanting to do one or quite some time and it never worked out......but we're sailing on the Jan/2013 one!

My name is Debra and my husband is Rick......I've been a "disneyphile" for ions.........just recently been weening my husband to my way of thinking....and he's progressing well, I must say! lol Our boys, 27 yoa and 22 yoa, actually got tired of going to WDW so I gave them a rest and would go with my cousin or whoever else I could persuade! After our boys went off to college, I tempted my DH slowly back into the Disney scene by saying we could run the Disney 1/2 marathon 2 years ago. We had a blast....he realized there was also an adult side to Disney. Since then we've been to WDW several times and 2 Disney cruises (2010 Mediterranean and 2011 WB Transatlantic this past September). We have fallen love with the cruises! We are going on one in April and then just signed up for the members cruise a couple of weeks ago. We are really pumped about this cruise. We've never done one before and would love to hear what all is different on members cruise vs regular Disney cruise.

We've been DVC members since 1996 and belong to Hilton Head Disney Resort (it's closer to our home and like I said before....our boys were tired of going to WDW .....egads! Can you imagine being tired of WDW??!!!). So we have been going to HHI for just about every 4th of July since we joined. We love it there!

I am just rattling on and on.......just wanted to say I'm looking forward to chatting with you on this site and to introduce myself! Look forward to making some new friends here on the disboards!!! Have a magical evening everyone!!!!

[Dgentrysim]

Just a general question......how do I put my cruise tickers side by side? My second ticker is halfway hidden and the third one is totally hidden? Thanks for any help you can give me!
