Hey Bob,

We will be cruising with you. This will be my second Disney cruise. My 1st was the 7 day eastern this past March. We had a blast. When we went in March it was my husband and our three children. This time it will be me and my three kids, my sister & her two kids & my Mom. Can't wait!!!!!!!

Hello Mermaidbaby,

I see we are not very far from you, are you staying at WDW after the cruise?
We are planning on a cruise sandwich a few days before and maybe a week or so after the cruise. It is so far away DW and I are hoping to sneak in a WDW trip some time in the spring to get us over the hump a Disney fix.
Well....only 457 days to go......but who's counting!!!!

 

[mermaidbaby]

No WDW for us. Just a cruise. The kids will be in school and will miss 2 days. We took them out for 7 days this past cruise and they missed too too much at school. My husband is shh..."all disneyed out! " I would love to go back in the next year but I don't think it's in the cards.

Have you been on other cruise lines?

What part of Ct are you from? I have to admit I only pass though Ct on my way to NY, unless of course I stay in Uncansville! Cha-ching!

Sorry to here DH is Disneyed out!
We took a cruise in Hawaii aboard NCL's "Pride of Aloha" back in 2005 nice ship not so good service, all American crew. My wife belongs to the ADA and each year they have a confirence, guess where it was last year......Hawaii so we went back in 2006 on board the "Pride of America" very nice ship but same service. We can't wait to try Disney cruiseline, friends of ours are all saying Disney is the best cruise they have ever done, and they have tried many cruiselines.
We live in the middle of CT about 15 miles from Hartford, speaking of Uncansville we were just there this past weekend to see "Dances with Star" tour.....well I was more like the driver. As DW, mom and my mother-in-law all were watched the show I played the machines and watched the ball game "GO SOX".

Welcome a board Steelernut, this will be our second Disney cruise and we can't wait. Our first will be this December, this one can't come fast enough I just hope once we get on board, time slows down a bit so we can enjoy every minute.

 

[mermaidbaby]

Hi Bob,
Yes the service was wonderful, it was just as I heard it was. How many of you are going on the cruise? Oh yeah a Sox fan!!!!

Hi there Steelernut,
I see you been on Carnival many times. We've sailed three times with them 1991, 1992 & 2001. The first two times, it was great. The last time, I hated it. The service was awful, the ship was not clean, but again that was a long time ago. Disney was fabulous compared to Carnival.

Right now I'm enjoying beautiful Cape Cod, we have been on vacation for the last week.

Hello Mermaidbaby
We just got back last night from a 10 day vacation in Maine, wish it could have been longer.
Well so far what I've heard from our travel agent is 21 rooms have been booked in our party, mind you my wife and I are just tag alongs with this group......let me step back a little.
Friends that we have been going to Disney with for a few years now are celebrating their 50th. and they asked if we would like to go along for a cruise, their kids all thirteen of them and their families will be going too and few of other Disney nuts, so it should be a hoot!!!!

 

[steelernut]

Thanks everybody for the welcome!!

Mermaid, Carnival was good on all our cruises. The Fantasy showed it's age though. It was a 3 day cruise. I don't know if I could have spent a week on that ship. RC though was great, from the ship to the service. I liked the seafood selection better on Carnival though. Our last Carnival cruise you could not beat the price. I have heard so many great things about Disney. Now that we have a child we decided to try them out.

I could not believe a thread had already been started!! I guess I'm not the only one that is excited. I can't wait for the cruise & the start of football season.

Hello Steelernut, "EXCITED" that is an understatement! I wish we could go now.
I have to tell ya I'm a big Pats fan and when my wife and I were cruising the Hawaiian Islands last Sept. it was great to wake up at 7:00 in the morning run up to one of the restaurants and watch the begining of a Pats game, theres nothing like having a football game and breakfast!

 

[steelernut]

Hey Bob,

I work with a Pats fan & my boss is a Pats fan. Both are from Boston. So I guess I can't get away from them. Ordered my NFL Sunday Ticket friday. We went to your neck of the woods for our honeymoon a few years ago. B&B in Maine, Gloucester, & Plymouth Rock. Very nice change from S.C.!!

 

[alohabob]

Hello shipmates......Wow seems far away but just over a year from now we will be singing "All Aboard" Ok maybe thats for trains but you get the drift.
And just a few weeks will be the kick off of the NFL season

 

[zulaya]

Hello everyone!

alohabob saw my thread and told me he had started one. So I'm chiming in...

DH and I have 2 kids, DS will be 12 at the time of cruise and DD will be 11.

DH and I have been on a RCC cruise before...we didn't care for it, but we love Disney so we are going to try the 4 day.

 

[quackattack]

Hey Bob,
By ADA, I take it you mean: American Dietetic Association. I know there was a conference in Hawaii recently. You may ask, why would I know such a thing. I am a Dietitian.

Unfortunately, we will not be cruising with you. We will be cruising the week before.

We will keep everything ship shape for you.

Hello quackattack, you are correct about the ADA my wife is a DTR and working toward her degree. Are you attending the conference in Philadelphia this year?
Keep the lights on and try an bring the ship back in one piece.
Thanks for posting!

 

[steelernut]

A BIG welcome to all the newbies!!

There for a while I was wondering if everyone backed out. LOL

Just 4 more days till the BIG game!!!!!!

 

[Renysmom]

Hi everyone -

Bob saw that I had started a thread (which I now have erased and placed a link to there). I searched and searched and couldnt find one and then of course after I start one, here you are

My DH and I will be your traveling companions as well. It will be our first cruise, its taken me years to convince him to go on one and then bamb he said yes . I am so excited.

We are from VA so we aren't Pats fans, Redskins all the way for us BUT I spent many years outside of Boston as a child and have lots of relatives there so I am a Red Sox's fan my entire life, which should get me some points from you Northerner's.

On the thread I started (then deleted) I had posted this poll: Hope it's okay to add it here, I want to start a cruise page/site for us all where we can keep all the info about each other and such as we get closer. I am working on the site now. Give me any ideas as to anything we should have on OUR site and it shall be done. Anyway here is the poll:

Who
Where are you traveling from
# of previous DCL cruises
Assigned stateroom
Are you celebrating a special occasion while on ship? What
