Does anyone know what they are doing in Nassau? I can't seem to decide.

This place intrigues me...want to try some local fare.

I was looking at our Itinerary and just noticed that we are only scheduled to be in Nassauu and Key West until 12 noon. Is this common? I thought Nassau days were usually longer, or am I mistaken?

Key West looks normal to me, but below is what the itinerary used to be. They've changed the order of Nassau and Castaway Cay, shortened Nassau and extended Castaway Cay!

What's funny is their map animation still has Nassau first. I'll take more time at Castaway Cay and less time at Nassau any day! Now if they would just swap Nassau for WDW, I'd be

Agreed! We loved that cruise last year, so fun!!! I guess it has to be an 8 day cruise to have enough time, which is why we leave Nassau so early. There goes my wish of swapping Nassau for WDW! Oh well, its going to be an amazing cruise and great fun!

Hello everyone,

We will be cruising with you in just over a year (me, DH & DD who will be 5 by then)).

When I first booked this cruise, I got the agenda shown on the very first post of this thread, but now the website shows the agenda listed below. Anyone know about when it was changed?

I am very happy to have the longer day at CC. We were planning to do Aquaventure at Atlantis in Nassau, but now I'm thinking it won't be worth the money for the short day. Thoughts?

So excited to be confirmed on this cruise! Just me & DH ...woohoo!

 

[PrincessSophiasMom]

JUST BOOKED!!!! This is our 2nd Disney Cruise...our first was on the Magic the first time DCL sailed out of Galveston. It wil be me, DH, DD (4), and we are currently foster parents so any foster child(ren) we may have at that point we will petition the court for them to come with us as well. We have not told DD yet and we are thinking we may suprise her this time. We loved doing the fish extender and the DIS meet last time so hopefully we can join in on this one as well!!!

Unfortunately, posts have been removed from a number of Cruise Meets threads including this one.

PLEASE review the Cruise Meet Policy regarding Cruise Meet and Fish Extender programs. - http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=3353477

Links to Cruise Meet discussion/Fish Extenders other than those on the DIS may not be posted or offered by any other means (PM, email, "search" directions, etc.).

Cruise Meet threads are doing just fine still managing meet and FE discussions right here on the DIS as they have since FE began (also here on the DIS).

FE organizers generally need to know how many people (adults/children) are participating in each cabin with child ages for age appropriate gift giving. Other information you would like to share such as names, allergies, favorite characters, etc. is up to you. Other personal information is not really necessary. Those organizing FEs typically ask for the information to be posted in the meet thread or sent to them via PM.

For those posting in this Cruise Meet thread to join a FE, if no one comes forward to organize a FE for this cruise, anyone can organize the FE right in this thread.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

There is certainly plenty of time to plan a FE for this cruise. All it takes is for someone to maintain a list of/for those participating which can easily be done in this thread. Cruise Meet threads have been doing it this way for years now here on the DIS.

My DH and I are so excited to have the Wonder back in Galveston. We sailed the last time she was in and it was such a fantastic crew. Our family will be on this sailing as well.

It will be myself, (Tammy), the DH (Ian), my parents, (Cathy and Marc) my sister and her DH, (Misty and Jimmy) their son, (Hayden), my brother and his wife, (Hans and Liz) and their three kids, (Alice, Kai and Clara). We are trying to get the middle sister and her family to come along as well but her husband is in the military and they are transitioning to a new post in the fall so it will depend on if he can get leave or not.

This will be our first family vacation ever. It's usually just myself and the DH and sometimes my parents join in. But never the siblings and their families so we are excited to show them the ropes. We might be switching to the December 4th sailing to get the longer time in ports if we can get everyone to agree to it and people can get off. If not it will be this sailing.

Welcome! -- sorry this is late, things have been crazy here!

 

[PrincessSophiasMom]

Has anyone stepped forward to be in charge of the FE yet? Also, do we maybe want to arrange a DIS meet? I know my last cruise we did one and it was super fun!!!

Not that I'm aware of, but we'd be interested in FE and possibly a meet (depending upon timing) if it is organized.
