Ok, I'll give a quick Trip Report for my quickie Wonder sailing on March 1st, 2007. First, it was supposed to be an adult trip with myself and my dh's cousin. Unfortunately, she cancelled on the morning we were to leave because her husband was very sick. I will update this at the end.
So, here I was with 6 hours to leave and nobody to go with me so I call
DCL to see if I can take my cousin off and add my two daughters (6 & 8). It was a go, so I called the airlines (Southwest) added them and packed quickly. When they got home from school, I told them the news and we left 30 minutes later.
We flew into Orlando and crashed at the Rasisson at the Port - nice hotel. We took the 10am shuttle and arrived at the Port at 10:01am. LOL...
Checked in, and sat around for 1 hour and 45 minutes.
We had boarding card number 2 so we were almost first on the ship - went directly to lunch at PC (little bit cold out). Had lunch, tried to switch Dining (we had 8:30pm - too late for little ones). We were switched to 8pm with a Japanese family who spoke a little Broken English. Not too much fun and my girls were falling asleep.

Ate quickly and went to bed.
Friday - woke up early, had breakfast at BBB, played Hide N Go Seek in Route 66 (OMG that was fun!), played Checkers in Diversions all before 8:30am.

Oh the Joys of early risers...
Sat at the Goofy Pool all day long - 9:00am to 3:00pm and got BURNT! Well, sitting on the edge in the sun wasn't very comfortable and it wasn't what I had planned (think sleeping by the adult pool, drinking and snoozing). Took a nap until dinner and then had dinner up at BBB (sit down service was EXCELLENT). Saw the Golden Mickeys AGAIN...
Blah blah blah... cut to
Castaway Cay. Cloudy and breezy in the morning, sunny in the afternoon - got SO burnt and sick... Went to the infirmary due to constant heart palpatations, naseau, shivering, dizzyness. They were closed so we went to Dreams instead. Went right to bed afterwards but was up all night "praying to the porcelain God" if you get my drift.

Note to everyone- there is NO Gatorade onboard. Nada. Nothing.
Highlights: IAN so totally ROCKS and Brent is just plan GORGEOUS!

Sign me up anytime for the Wonder!
We didn't see Anna Nicole's funeral even though we were in Nassau on Friday - we stayed on the ship because of the media circus and well, being alone with two little girls...
Bored yet? Kinda a quiet cruise - no dinners past the first one, I didn't even step foot into Shutters! And get this, other than the obligitory ONE Konk Kooler, I didn't even drink. I know, so sad... But my room charge total came to....

I actually saved MORE money (for myself and some others) than it cost me to actually sail on the Wonder. Well, not including airfare and the Radisson and the Wilderness Lodge afterwards. But you get the idea...
Bye!

Update on my Cousins' husband: He was diagnosed with stomach cancer which is in his lymph nodes and they are giving him 10 months to live. He has a 7 year old son and 2 year old twins.

Please say a prayer that he receives a miracle and survives. Thanks.
