"10/23/2010 Seven Days of Magic Sailing to the Saints Looking for Serenity Now!"

Does anyone know what the capacity is for the ships as far as passenger, not crew?

Hey, Brenda, there is something flying around in my head saying this Coral Reef diving adventure is no longer available, but I'm not sure why I'm thinking that. It would be really, really cool, though. My hubby and daughters would probably love it.

There is the EPCOT Dive Quest. I've done it twice. You get about 45 minutes of bottom time in the Living Seas Tank. It's alot of fun.

2,400 passengers

Fun Facts I also came acros on http://corporate.disney.go.com/news/parks_resorts/DCL%20-%20DCL%20Fact%20Sheet%203-26-09.pdf :
• Disney Magic and Disney Wonder cruise ships are 83,000 tons, 964 feet long and each as long as the
Eiffel Tower is high.
• Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy cruise ships, currently under construction, will be 128,000 tons and will
have 1,250 staterooms each, which will more than double the passenger capacity of Disney Cruise Line.
• Castaway Cay, Disney's private Bahamian island, is the only private island in the cruise industry where the ship
docks alongside so guests do not have to tender to land.

Hi, Sandy. Thank you. I guess we will have more than 1/10 of the ship's capacity by the time we sail.

Hey, I haven't checked in since the beginning of the thread but we are still going I''m wondering if anyone knows when we may see discounts available (if any) in particualar a military discount? Not counting on one but it's always nice when they happen.

Hi Everyone...we just almost booked...LOL....I still have to pay the deposit..hee hee
I'm Lisa...and I will be traveling with my two daughters, Ireland and
Alexis..Ireland will be 9 at the time of travel and Alexis will be 7.
We went on a cruise...7 night Western last November and a 4 night before that. Since we don't have passports and all of that Jazz, I figured booking WAY far out will give us enough time to save some spending money and for mom to drop a few pounds LOL. Nice to meet you all and I look forward to chatting along the way.

Nice to see another Disboutiquer on the boat

Just wanted to let you fine folks know that as of 1 hour ago, we cancelled our SPH 5520 for this cruise. If you're quick, you may want to call DCL to see if you can snag it for yourself.

If I remember correctly they don't release the military discount dates until about 8 weeks prior. Your cruise may or may not be included. It worked out well for us last time and it published about 6 weeks before we sailed

Oooh that is soo tempting. I wish I wasn't such a verandah snob

Sorry to hear that you cancelled. And even sorrier that we are cruising with another couple and I would hate to leave them down on deck 2 all by themselves. Thanks for the heads up.

I just check and both 5020 and 5520 are available. No need to leave anyone.

SPH does that stand for secret porthole or am I way off? What cat room in 5520? I may need to check it out. We like the location of our room to the kids clubs and stairs/elevators and no noise above from the clubs. But I am willing to check out other things

Yes, you are correct. I would think that these rooms would be perfect for you if you are interested in being on the same floor as the kids clubs.

They are cat 10, hence the "secret" port hole. Shhh don't tell

I fired off an email to my Dreams agent, but his normal office hours were over by the time I saw that the SPH rooms had opened up. My fingers are crossed, but I am not giving up my rooms on deck 2 until I hear from DU.

 

[Towncrier]

Our DU agent is on the ball and working overtime.

He managed to snag 5520 for our friends. Now it looks like we're the ones left behind on deck 2.

Not a problem. Afterall they are celebrating their 30th anniversary and we're ONLY celebrating our 25th. I've often said that I'd be willing to sleep in a broom closet if I could go on a Disney Cruise. And our Cat 9 cabin is by no means a broom closet.

I know what you mean. I had a cat 11 on my first Disney cruise and thought that was fabulous. But, now I am spoiled and have to have my verandah .

Hey Nancy...sooooooo sorry to hear that Chuck and youself will not be joining us. I was hoping things would change that this would work out for you. Wishing our paths will cross again in the future. Our very best to you - my friend...hugs all around -

I just check and both 5020 and 5520 are available. No need to leave anyone.

Thank you for posting...when I saw this...I transferred my phone - went directly into the conference room and started to call Disney directly and checked the Disney cruise site on-line. Well...we did not get SPR 5520...WE GOT - 5020. We are soooooooo excited!!!! It'll be awesome to return to deck five...great location and a little cheaper than a porthole on the second deck. Just a few details to work out with the DU agent...and we are soooooo there. It wouldn't matter if we need to pay a second deposit...WE WILL STILL TAKE THIS STATEROOM - IN A HALF A HEARTBEAT!!!

ohhh...what a find for your friends. After we secured the other premium SPR (opposite side of the ship), we started to see if we could book for friends. You/they beat us by 10-20 minutes...good for you!!!

Hope all are doing great...me, well...work has been a little challenging - so please excuse me if I'm away a little. Hope all had a great Fathers Day. K

Actually our Dreams agent was the one who snagged 5520. And thanks for clearing up the mystery of why 5020 disappeared from inventory. You snooze, you lose.

Congrats on getting 5020. October 2010 is still a long way off. Perhaps another SPH room will come back on the market.

Wanted to drop by and brag for just a minuite. We leave in 6 days for WDW. Once we return I will have more time to visit and get to know everyone. So I will see everyone towards the end of this month.

Have a happy and SAFE 4th. Lois
