haha yes this is mine and my family's second cruise. are you going to suprise your son right before the cruise??

Not sure I can pull that stunt again as I'm surprising him on Friday with a trip to WDW the very same day! Poor boy - he'll never trust his crazy Disney-obsessed mother again!!!

Caitlin will be 12 on this trip too.

We will have to let them email each other when it gets closer...It would be nice for her to know somone since it is just the two of us on this trip!

Corr you have all been so busy, a chatty group! I have updated page 1 post 1 and the details below are now there, thank you.

Ongoing you can refer this to ensure we know each others real names and also see Kids match ages etc for kids clubs, maybe lists of dinner early/late.

On the Med cruise nearer the time we did excursion lists as well

You are correct...This is a very busy group! Alot busier than the cruise I am taking next summer!

I Love the idea of the Excursion List it would be good to know others who are doing the same things.

Ain't that the truth!!!

Absolutely! Just been looking at the excursions for the Mexican Riviera cruise and I can see that my DH and DS are going to want to do stuff together so I'm wondering if I'll be able to buddy up with someone to something a little more lady...

[kritter]

Looks like this cruise is going to sell out quick...I was a bit surprised at the 09 itineraires!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[PrincessMom2002]

to everyone who has joined in the past couple of days!! Wow you all have been busy! This is going to be one long, busy, fun thread by the time we cruise. We are off to a great start!

Hi,

Just confirmed with my TA.. We are booked as well.. I was sooo happy she gave me $350.00 OBC plus the fifty dollar OBC for CC. So I am at four hundred..She is the best...

Here is our crew:

Kristin DW 36-when we cruise
Bruce DH 43-when we cruise
Hanna DD
Hope DD
Twins-ages 7 when we sail
Main Dining
Will stay a week before the cruise at DVC SSR...
Cat. 4
Connecticut
Celebrating 15th Wedding Aniversary!!
Third Disney Cruise!!

Kristin-

My DD will be 7 too when we sail. And I am trying to get my sister to come again with us along with her DD7 at cruise time and DD6 at cruise time. We've got alot of kids already in this group and it seems to be a good mix of ages. They are going to have fun!

A website would be wonderful! We did that for the cruise I went on in Oct. and it really helped come cruise time knowing who was who. We also posted pictures on it so we would recognize eachother.

We booked with DCL but are considering transferring to DU for the extra OBC. The person I booked our last cruise through is not happy that she doesn't have the res. But she gave no sort of OBC, and I only gave her the res. so she could get the commission. Not sure how to handle this.

How long will it take to get authorizations sorted out, do you think? I think you are the first person I've ever known of to say they were bummed about not having surgery! Hopefully it will get squared away quickly, especially with the holidays.

OOH my girls will love meeting your daughter. They have been emailing and writing to another girl on our cruise thread for our OCTOBER cruise. Maybe we could hook them up??

Hi Everybody!!!

Hey Andrew! Count us in!!! You may recall we sailed together on the Magic in August '06!

We just booked this while on the Wonder this weekend. Cast is me, DH John and DS Josh (will be 16), and DTwins Kieran and Ryan (they'll be 12 - yikes!).

And, can it be...we're sailing with the renowned CustardTart of Fun with Dick and Kaz fame?!!! How fun will that be!

And y'all already have 16 pages on this thread - what a riot! The time is sure to go by fast with this fun group!

Looking forward to reading up on this thread.

TTFN!

 

[caitlinsdad]

Yes a chatty group, in under a couple weeks we have as many pages as
The cruise I just switch from. And that was started last Jan

 

[PrincessMom2002]

Definitely! She tends to be somewhat shy but I think getting to know some kids prior to cruise time will bring her out of her shell. My DS (9 at cruise time) is so opposite of her. He's Mr. Social. LOL

The website seems to work out nicely then like you said we could post pics. etc...That is what we are doing for my Oct. cruise tooo..

I only asked about the TA since this cruise for Oct. many of us booked with one TA and got Great onboards as well as a group rate and we are getting some extras too for being a group. Palo's brunch or a welcome cocktail reception. The OB she gave me for this cruise was $400.00 if your interested maybe we could get a small group together with this TA and then we could all get a cheaper price and get the group ammenities. I can send you her info. if your interested. What is DU offering for OBC??Pm me if you want her info....

They say the authorization will be in another 72 hours. If you ask me I think someone at the DR. office messed up but not sure. OH, I was not excited to have the surgery really but was kind of mentally prepared if you know what I mean?? Plus, we had arranged someone to watch the kids etc.....Just kind of a pain if you know what I mean??!!!

Well, I guess it all happens for a reason!!! I was nervous that I would not be ok to go to the Hannah Montana concert next week but not a biggie now since not having the surgery.. Plus, the kids are going to freak when they find out they are going to the HM concert........

OOOh the twins will love it....I will have to send each other addresses and they could email and write.........
