11/22/2009 3 Night Wonder Cruise

[MelissaE1]

Every few hours this weekend I was given a new update on what things both of them liked together. Should be really fun for them.

This continues at my house. It's all I hear about, lol.

3:00 on boarding day, deck 10, on the side where the port building is. Everyone is usually done with their initial running around and you have a little bit before you have to go back for the drill. It worked great for us!

Anyone interested?

That sounds good to me!

I've been checking the weather report and I'm bummed to see that scattered showers are forecast for Nassau on Monday! I'm hoping that it will change, since it's still pretty far out. Keep your fingers crossed.

Try not to worry about it yet. Living in a subtropical climate here I can tell you that even if the forecast stays that way we may very likely see no rain at all. Nearly guaranteed it will change a few times before then, though! A day or two out it gets slightly more accurate, but even then it can be dead wrong, and if it does rain it often blows through in half an hour. Here's hoping for full sun, though!

UH OH!

So guess what? I'm packed for space camp, finishing packing for DCL/Disney, leaving tomorrow at 5:30 a.m., return midnight Thursday and leaving Friday a.m. early. No time left to shop. Got some little stuff for our FE exchange and just realized: I DON'T HAVE AN FE! Yup, no place to put any stuff we might get. So anyone participating, you might just see a Walmart bag hanging off our fish.

Maybe we should get a Publix bag so no one gets confused

Who would have ever guessed it would be such a rollercoaster just getting to the Disney boat....

At this time tomorrow, we'll be on a plane heading for Disney World! I haven't even started packing yet, and we have to leave for the airport around 4:45 in the morning. I guess I work better under pressure. Need to get through work and school today, and then the stress will begin followed by a relaxing vacation. See you all on the ship!

Just got off and had Petar and Pikual as our servers. Awesome. Also saw Cesar serving too. He was our server in 2001. Got pictures of them to add to our scrapbook. I regret not getting a picture of Julie who tends bar in teh Promanade lounge. If anyone can snap a pic of her I'd love to add it to the collection.

Thanks.

Hope you are all having a great cruise.

Hope everyone had as much fun on the cruise as I had. Thanks for all the great Fish Extender Gifts!!! Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving, I'm watching Sailor Mickey at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade wishing I were still on the ship!

 

[MelissaE1]

We also had a great time, if way too short. We are at WDW now for a few days (leaving tomorrow) and wow, is it crowded! Missing the relaxing time on the ship!

We had an amazing serving team (Mladin and Sandra) and cabin steward (Glen). Glen put princess sheets on our dd's bed one night and came in another and taught our kids to make towel monkeys. What a guy!

We LOVED all the FE gifts, what fun. Thank you to everyone. Aliron, where did you get the post its?

Anyone else book a future cruise? We were previously booked on the T'giving cruise on the Dream, and we added the 3 day before it. We figured we could cancel if we change our mind, or transfer it to another date.

Here's hoping everyone had a great time and and wishing you all many happy future travels!

 

[aliron]

Our thanks to you all too! Everything was AMAZING! Our first time doing FE was awesome. We'll definitely be signing up on future cruises. And yes, we did book a future cruise (or 2 or 3)
We booked the same three day (before Thanksgiving) for next year. We were going to do a back to back and stay on over Thanksgiving, but changed to a 7 day at Christmas time. And then also booked a 5 day in Dec. 2011. Can't wait.
MelissaE1 - we got the post its on board. That was why your FE gifts didn't come until the second day.....we wanted to pick up a few things on board. It was just a large cube of post its that happened to have 10 different colors....it was perfect. Also perfect because I had forgotten tags or a note to tell you all who they were from

Don't know if you saw our other post on the main board, but we were chosen as a "Magical Family" by Zoe in guest services. We met her when we turned in my daughters pillowcase for signatures and then had a letter in our room later on that we had been chosen. It just meant a few extra treats each day (cookies, cakes in the stateroom, tickets for gear on C Cay, a stuffed Mickey for my daughter) and we also got to attend the Concierge Reception, which was nice. It made for a great trip and one that will be hard to beat.

You all were so generous and made the cruise even more special. Hope you all had safe trips home and a Wonderful Thanksgiving!

Thanks again.

We too had a great cruise. If any of your are adventurous and haven't done jet skiing on Castaway Cay, you MUST do this. It was the highlight of our trip. But the cruise was way too short! Future Cruise? We waited in line at the advance booking desk, but were told we can't book using DVC points there. So we're scouting out dates and will call member services once we make a final decision. There's a 5 night cruise on the Dream over New Year's that we're considering in 2011

Thanks to everyone for the FE gifts! We got lots of neat goodies to bring home and even shared some candy, etc with family over Thanksgiving.

MissMousey (Michelle) - the 5 day on the Dream over New Years is one we made reservations for (I think)! It would be great to do the FE with you again (Of course we'll have to up our game to keep up with you).

Oh my gosh! How cool is that? I'll let you know once we decide for sure on that cruise. And, of course we would do the FE with you again--it was fun sneaking around at night leaving goodies for everyone

Hi - it is Alison. I set up my own account and had to get some posts in. Still thinking about the cruise and how wonderful it was (and wishing I were headed back soon). I did join the meets thread for the 2010 pre-thanksgiving cruise on the Wonder so I do have that one to look forward to.
Happy Holidays everyone!
