02/12/2012 4 Night Dream Valentine's Cruise - The Love Boat Sails Again !

[Tiki4]

I asked about the Movies playing on our cruise and was told the following would be showing -
War Horse
Real Steel
Cars 2
Muppets
The Help
POC - OST

She thought that the new Beauty and the Beast 3D movie would be off by then

I have only seen the commercial a couple of times but does anyone know if the new 3D Star Wars Movie is Disney? That is being released in theaters on Feb. 10th............my son would LOVE to see it!!

CRUISING !!

 

[tzuhouse]

15 Days gang!!

Since this is our 1st cruise, any packing tips from veteran cruisers? Has anyone used Sea bands for motion sickness? Do they help or work?

Can't wait to meet everyone!!

This is our first cruise, so I don't know about the bands for sea sickness, but I used them extensively when I was pregnant with my second and they really seemed to help.

Getting so excited about our first cruise! Will be at WDW for 1 week with a youth group I planned and then our family will board the Dream! So very excited! Been crazy busy with work and now it has all calmed down! Just need to finish up the shirts for the youth group and then finish packing!

See everyone very soon!

I was just trying to make some stuff for our door and realized I'm not sure how big the round door number is on the door. Does anyone know from past experience or if you have bought something? I'm trying to make something to go around it.

I checked the the DCL faq thread on the main page but it only has the door dimensions, not the circle on the door. However I bet if you ask this question on the main cruise forum someone is likely to know the answer!

Here's the link to the info on the stateroom ears. http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2172891

Thanks for posting - what a cool thread ! I'd never seen it before !...Shame perhaps we could have got some Valentines ears (ie heart themed) for our doors if perhaps we'd requested it early emough !!??

Does anyone know if people dress up on the optional dress-up night on this cruise? Having only taken longer cruises before, we've got in the habit of having family pics taken on the formal night. I don't want to subject my family to dressing up (usually shirts and ties and nicer dresses) if we'll be out of place, but I do want that picture!!!!!

We don't dress formally but I wear a nice blouse and slacks and my DH wears slacks a dress shirt and tie....nothing fancy. On our last cruise the family at the table next to us wore track suits to dinner every night....didn't bother us! I guess whatever makes your family comfortable

I can't believe we are sooooooo close now!!!!!! What is it, like 12 days after today!

I wonder if the new movie Journey 2 Mysterious Island will be playing......I think it's a Disney Affiliate movie. That would be cool

On accuweather.com it shows rain on the Sunday we leave....hopefully that changes!

The shorter cruises are a lot less formal than the longer ones, in my experience. Many people don't dress up at all but many do also, just not to the nines as they would on a real formal night on a longer cruise. I would not worry about being out of place- even on the most formal nights on extended cruises there will still be people in tshirts and jeans, so its never across the board. If you really want the nice picture I say go for it and dress up- I'm goingo on a 5 night in May with my parents which also does not have a formal night but we are dressing up very formal (suit and gowns) for our Remy night because we want formal pictures together and we wont be bothered that no one else will be dressed up, the picture is more important than us standing out.

Yes, that's right

Don't stress too much...its only supposed to be a bit of fun....gifts vary so much ; remember ...some of us have been working / collecting all year, whilst others have for just weeks....some are kids orientated, others more adult (or a mix), some cruise themed, some Disney themed....some handmade...some bought ....some big...some small...all sorts ....there's no right or wrong ...just surprises !!!

I agree with the above..... NOTHING is out of place ...you will see every level of dress...so best to please yourself - its your cruise !

It is an "adults only" cruise for me and my family (we will be gold members on this cruise) and I actually booked it as a Christmas surprise to celebrate my parents 38th anniversary and my older sisters birthday on the cruise.... Let me know if it is not too late...I would love to be included if I can

If so...our cruise info is as follows:
My parents-father 71 and mother 63 (wedding anniversary on feb 14)
Myself (female 32)
My sister 37 (birthday feb 16)
No allergies
Rooms #7604 and 7606

Thanks so much...

We wll do our very best to accommodate you, and I have added all of you to the lists (whilst trying to maintain its balance) .
The only reservation is that there may not be enough time for some FE members to add personaliesd or hand crafted stuff....but I'm sure everyone will pull together and do their best to have you included also in the FE 'activity'.
