I was thinking--maybe we can book for the new ships by 11/09!

It's a sickness really. DH and I went on our 1st cruise for our 10th verse-T(as I call them). That was in 2004 and I have been on 9 cruises with 3more booked.

Just when I think 3 DCL cruises will be enough they go and make 2 new ships! I hope they have new shows. We love DCL and any excuse to cruise again is fine with us.

Hi Guys, Just checking in, because I have not in a while. I do pop on the general DCL thread to give my opinion. I also have been flooded with PMs because of the pillowcase thread, so I decided to pop over and say Hi. Read the last 2 pages and need to catch up, but will not happen til the weekend. Hey is that logo going to be printed off and someone make all 100 of us tee shirts.... Wasn't Kris the "keeper of the List" how many of us is it up to now. I think that was way back on page 3.

Cool to be sailing with you, atinkerbellmom!

Ok, everyone, I'm knuckling down in crunch mode (for the next 3 months ) for my next cruise. I'm admin'ing the DIS Double Dip website for that cruise, then I can turn it over for this cruise.

I hope everyone has a lovely (and safe) fourth of July weekend!

Hey mousemom11,
Which Cat 3 are you sailing in? We snagged a Cat 3 last time (8522) - and you are going to love it!! Yes, we especially liked getting the hot breakfasts too. It really helped alot because my DD was 18 mos at the time and I didn't have to rush everyone out the door to get to the food....

Jonathan and Joanne (our concierge team) were FANTASTIC!! They dropped off little goodies every day and were constantly checking if we needed anything. We were travelling with my MIL and it really helped in Grand Cayman when they told us just to let them know when we wanted to go ashore and they would hold a tender for us. So we just left the stateroom and walked right down and onto the boat - no waiting - it was totally awesome.

Hi binky.

We're in 8086, which is aft on the port side. There were only 2 cat 3's left for this sailing when I booked in May. I was hoping for one amidship, but once I realized that we were right near the stairs to come out at Topsiders with the drink station and ice cream station , I was perfectly fine with it.

It will be SO nice to have the extra touches of relaxed breakfast and tender boarding. Plus, I'm going to make Palo ressies in advance, but if they conflict with our dining rotation, it's nice to know that the concierge staff can get us in on a different night.

After going commando at WDW for 10 days right before the cruise, we're planning to kick back and RELAX

I was on the DCL website today and noticed that the first day we are in Castaway Cay we are only there until 2:30 p.m. - the other double dips stay until 5:00 p.m.

I think it's because we get into Grand Cayman at 7:45 a.m. and the other DD doesn't get there until 11 a.m.

Anybody have any thoughts/opinions/ideas about this?

Thanks and have a great day!!

My Sept 27, 2008 cruise (the one we got the logo from) has the same itinerary. I think the shortened first day at CC is so we have a decent amount of time at GC.

OK that must mean something else in WA

Disney might think that since we have a second day at CC that we would rather have the extra time in GC since we are only there one day. I have been to both many times and for me it's all good. They are both beautiful.

 

[mousemom11]

6 hours at CC is better than a whole day in Key West!!! I see a spa appointment in my future that afternoon.
