November 1, 2012 ~ 3-Night Dream

[Zandy595]

Just curious..did you get what you wanted (or better I hope). I've never booked that way and want to know if I should explore it next time!

We were assigned a 4D (same cat. we booked). I was hoping for a room that's between the lifeboats, instead of right on top of them, but we didn't get it. That's ok though because I like the location and we've never had a verandah before, so that's a huge plus.

Hi All!

We're one of those that couldn't pass up the Florida Resident rate for this sailing, so we'll be joining you! Just booked it right now! My name is Kristin and we live in Tampa.

We were just on the August 15th sailing with our 6 year old son...but this trip will just be DH and me! Looking forward to it. Sure seems like it's not very full, so that should be nice!!

Kristin
We booked this cruise back in February and were pleasantly surprised when the FL rates came out this week.

We are between lifeboats from the review I read, but my friend next to us is over lifeboat. Oh, well!

Oh fantastic welcome Jessica and family! Great choices of characters we are in for some sailing fun fun fun. This is my second cruise. My and my DW did the same cruise last year. We loved it! You are all going to have a ball

THANK YOU We are Disney fanatics, so ANY advice, is appreciated

We are local Floridians but only moved here about 2 years ago, last year we did an annual pass, but this year are taking a "break", we are not sure if we will make it! So this will hopefully get us through, LOL!

I was looking at Fish extender ideas and the facebook page, I am excited to start crafting with the kids now! How fun are the little gifts!! All three of my girls are in girl scouts and this reminds me of the swaps, such a great way to remember the occasion!

Does any know anything about the stateroom we were assigned? Room 6086, we couldn't find anything, but on the map looks good.

Jessica! Glad you're joining our group.
I'm guessing you're doing the FE, since you posted your info?

Hi how wonderful re girl scouts! Have a look on utube for your stateroom. Many people do recordings of the staterooms we found ours there!

We found adding the tips to the room worked for us. Just ask when you check in or on your first day. Also there is so much to do onboard and so little time we didnt get off at all in Nassau ( been before not over impressed ) but Castaway cay is something else! We loved it but its very hot but it should be cooler in November.

The ship is glorious. We just kept looking around in true wonder! We cant wait. Any specific questions just ask! I will try to remember. Oh getting some nice photos is nice. They do some photo packages and all our photos were very good quality.

No, sorry. Isn't that a great deal for a 4D though?! We're in 6140, down the hall from you.
I just got an email from my TA that says a 4-night in a 4D is $12 less than our 3-night. I can't pull DS out of school for four days though. He'll only miss one for this cruise.

I think they do this automatically now.

 

[FLbadders5]

Yes, I would love to participate with the FE

Same here with the 3 night vs 4 night, kids all in school and husband is back in college, so missing days is a NO GO, 3 night worked perfect!

Thanks for the info, I have a whole binder of info, ideas, ext, only about 6 pages right now
