[4happybogles]

This will be our first cruise, we have had it booked since Feb of this year and it seems to be taking forever to get here. We are so excited and can't wait to be seasoned cruisers. It will be myself, my husband and our two boys, 2 and 4.

Us too - first cruise!
And boy - it has taken a long time getting here!
I took my ticker down cause it was frustrating me.

I know what you mean We booked in April 2007 and had to change our dates. It feels like we have been waiting forever for our first cruise

We got Palo Brunch, Dinner
and some Spa Treatments.

I was thinking we might not get any of them
from other thread comments.

Thats great. We decided to save our spa treatments to have at Portofino Bay.

What's Portofino Bay? Is that at Atalntis?
Did we make a bad pick?

we are hoping to get Palo brunch booked at the 90 day mark. I tried to do it early, but it wont let us, it says only concierge guests can book right now. not much longer though and we can book it!

We upgraded to the Romance Package -
so we were allowed to book the extra stuff early.
We did it all yesterday.

 

[bob_and_dawn]

Only a few more days to wait for you to book Disneyfun1.
Hope you get what you want.

Portofino Bay is a Universal Hotel that we are staying at after our cruise and before AKL

i'M sure your spa treatments will be fantastic Wally I'm just a bit concerned about being seasick and thought I might be better waiting until we are back on dry land

for seasickness, bring bonine tablets and ginger pills. They really work! We take bonine the day before we leave to get it in our systems, then just 1 or 2 a day as needed. the ginger pills help calm the stomach as well, usually just 1 or 2 a day as well. Last trip i dont think we used the ginger pills at all though.

oh yeah - duuuuurrr - I knew that!
That hotel looks beautiful!
We're at AKL 3 days before the cruise!

this will be our first cruise. We cannot wait, we booked in Feb and it seems to be taking forever to get here!! We have heard a lot of good things and can't wait to be seasoned cruisers! We can't wait to see the look on the boys faces when the see the boat for the first time! (they are 2 and 4)

 

[bob_and_dawn]

4happyboggles I bet your children will love it! Enjoy your trip as they grow up far too fast. It's never the same travelling without them.

Not sure if bonine is something we can get in the UK but I should manage to get ginger pills

Hopefully all will be fine and I wont get sick,

Dawn

 

[Disneyfun1]

if you cant get bonine in uk, i believe the gifts shops in wdw and on the ship sell it as well. i thought i remembered seeing on board before.

 

[bob_and_dawn]

Thank you.

Not flying in until 29th and staying at the Hyatt the night before so may have to wait until onboard.

Will check our pharmacy's though,

Dawn

Fish extenders sound fun. Count us in.

count Us in too! This is a fun idea

Crazy newbie question, will we get a list of the room numbers of everyone when we get closer to the cruise or do we just walk all over the ship looking for each other??

 

[bob_and_dawn]

Now if I understood the Fish extenders I would love to join in.

Dawn

 

[4happybogles]

I was trying to figure it out too.. if you go to page 9, I think there is a picture of what they look like. they are cool holders you place from your fish outside your room. then people place fun things in them through out the cruise. I think my boys would just love this and I think it would be fun to leave things in others fish "mail boxes" too. My boys are so into the pirate thing this will be their "treasure" from the cruise! (I am sure there will be many others as well) I can't wait this is just making me more excited!!

 

[bob_and_dawn]

Oh that does look like fun and we would love to join in

I will enjoy looking for little things to put in them..your boys will have a great time

Dawn

 

[Disneyfun1]

i have been updating the room numbers on page 1 of the thread as people list them. if yours is not listed, just post a reply with it or send me a PM and ill add it to the list.

 

[4happybogles]
