You gotta love my cheerleader, Sarah!!!

Susan, I am at 8.5 for week 4. Dad is going to update it tonight. I am aiming for 10 by Sunday!!!

Having said that, I have to run off now... time for the treadmill!!!!

Hi All!! I can't believe how fast this cruise is growing. At this rate though, it should be easy to find someone from our group. If anyone else is interested, I can make nametags to hand out.. I made pumpkins for last year's Halloween cruise.

My dad (Hyandui) is so excited about finding this board. I live across the street from them and when I get home from work at night there are messages on my answering machine about the threads he was reading and posting to. I'm still telling them that I'm cruising solo though. Gotta love 'em.

Vicki - back to several pages ago.... I have a "renaissance wench" outfit that I wore on the ship last year for Halloween. If I won't be the only person wearing one then I'm game. Which dining time do you and your family have?

Fit Guy - Glad to see you've joined this group. This will be my second time cruising as a single. It's a very comfortable atmosphere and I've always made friends to hang out with (even if they were "old" married folk )

Congrats on the weight loss everyone!!!

Oh, my goodness!! I think the excitement is about to burst out of everyone as shown by the number of new posts! This is great!

Just wanted to say hi! And, welcome to all the new cruisers!! We're really taking over.

Have a great day!

Hey Disbigkid!! Are you in room 6060? (I just was checking Lindas site ) That was "our" room last year on the Wonder! It is in a Great location!!

Jeanna is almost finished with her weight loss challange

I have a ? regarding the Radisson....If I book the room thru expedia, will I still be able to park there instead of at the port? Or will I be charged extra?

Expedia has a rate of $132 for the 2 room suite and my TA was given a rate of $179 for the same room. Was wondering if any of you had experience with this.

I need to book today if possible.

Thanks

dont book it through expedia. book it through radisson.com. you will pay way too much via expedia. if you book via the radisson at should be only $119 before taxes last i checked. thanks

adisneymama, from what I read on Mousesavers.com, any room you book at the Radisson gives you free cruise parking. You don't have to have the cruise package rooms:

It's pretty easy to find the cheapest rates at Radisson Resort at the Port, if you know a few tricks:

Go to the web site.
For the city, type Cape Canaveral.
Enter your dates and the number of adults and children, then the "Continue" button.
Under Radisson Resort at the Port, click on "View Rates."
Ignore the first set of rates that pop up. These are usually not the lowest available.
Instead, go all the way to the bottom of that page and click on "view all rates."
You will see a variety of lower rates. Almost all of them are available to anyone!
Ignore the special "cruise parking" packages you may see listed. You aren't required to purchase one of these to get the free parking. Booking any room will do.

Hope this helps!

No she isn't Sarah. She still has 8 1/2 pounds to lose. She is half way there. You can say she is almost finished when she has lost 14-15 pounds.

I am only 1 1/2 pounds behind her. I don't care if she finishes first anyway, as long as I don't finish last. And it doesn't look like I have to much to worry about there. LOL

 

[adisneymama]

HI thanks for the responses. I did go to the Radisson site, but expedia is giving the lowest rates. I am going to call them to see what they say on the phone. I'll let you know if we book or not.
Thanks again. I'm very glad to hear I don't have to book the cruise package.

I'll check back in a bit!

Jen, I called DCL last night to get some rates for my DH's relatives and I was told that if you book onboard you have to put 250.00 down per person and you will get a 200.00 onboard credit per room.

 

[PoohJen]

Thanks mrsmg! I just re-booked the Aug cruise with Costco, saved about $400; I will definitely re-check it when I'm on board! Still feeling slightly queasy about this sudden change of events for me! My head can't handle any more cruise obsession than I've already got!!! (and 8/06 is soooooo far away!)

There's already a huge thread for the 8/19!

But, time for me to put that away and re-focus on my fabulous 11/13 cruise with my fabulous DIS friends! Just around the corner!

I hope it's just as great on the Magic. I'm a little worried about the nearness of the elevator. But otherwise I do think it is a great location!

 

[adisneymama]

We are in room 6101 so we won't be too far apart!

I am so glad to have the room booked at the Radisson. Means Dh will be a much happier person for day 1 of the cruise!

By the way, does anyone know whether or not you can leave the ship once you board at PC? We are bringing our umbrella stroller with us, but would like to get one of the DCL ones because they recline. Our thought was that once we board, if we can't get the DCL one DH could maybe go back to the car to get ours if it was needed.

Ok, got to run! I'll check in with you all later! Or in the words of Aubrey....Later Tators!

 

[feenie]

For us the elevators were not an issue! We were a little worried too, but we never had any trouble with noise.
In fact being near the elevators was very handy! Plus finding your room is super easy. Sometimes on the decks that are all cabins it is easy to get turned around!

 

[adisneymama]

Good Morning! Happy Friday!

 

[rocadonismom]

Your 1st Disney Cruise! Well you better watch out because there is so much fun and excitement coming your way, you will be amazed.

 

[adisneymama]

Not only is it our first Disney cruise, it is our first cruise ever!
We are going to be hooked! We will be easy to spot! We'll be the ones acting like fools! LOL

So glad it's October. We can now say that the criuse is NEXT MONTH!!

Anyway, anyone have any restaurant recommendations for the places near the Radison?
