2/21/10 4 Nights on the Wonder

[msnoble]

I am so excited for my first Disney Cruise, and since I can't find a thread for our dates, I guess I'll start one

I'll be cruising with DD (11) and DS (9); unfortunately DH will be stuck at home due to work constraints , but encouraged us to go anyway...great guy, I know!!

Hope to find some fellow cruisers for our dates here on the Boards, and am sure I'll have lots of questions as well.

 

[miss-jill]

you are going to have so much fun. We are going on the 18th but I don't see a meet for that cruise yet. We want on our 1st cruise back in may and loved it!! let me know what questions you have I may be able to answer.

 

[tigger2on]

Hi....
Second Cruise. Was going to travel with my 2 middle children but have decided now to go with my mom and youngest DD (5) for her birthday!
Decided on an inside stateroom on Deck 6 due to fact that we had a verandah last time but didn't use it enough to make it worth the extra $1000.
Looking forward to some quality "me" time away while dd is in Oceaneer's club

Hi everyone!!!

We are booked to join you all. It will be me (Joleen 36) DS12 (Seth 12yr), DS1 (Jackson will be 1 1/2yr), DD (Sailor will be just over 7 mo). It will also be my mother, my grandmother and hopefully my sister and her two kids ages 6 and 12.

We just got off of the Western Oct 3rd. and are hoping to save up well for the Panama that we booked while on board. We took another 4 night last year. That is the extent of our sailing trips. Hoping to add many more.

It is freezing here in Colorado. COLD weather and some snow.
Can’t wait to get to know everyone.

We are also with you Me(Ellen 41), DH (Marc 42), DD13 (Leontine) and DD8 (Alexandra). We are firsttimers from Europe, never cruised before so we are exited.

Hello everyone! Count us in! It will be me (Charlene 40), DS (Trevor 14), and my mom (Judy). This will be our 6th cruise and we just booked #7, maiden voyage of the Disney Dream!

 

[Allesma]

Charlene, you're so lucky being already able to book for the Dream! Have you been on this cruise before?
If so what do you advise for the Nassau part?

 

[cruisinlady]

Yes, I am super excited about being on the MV of the Dream! Are you going to book this one? I have been on the Wonder before, but it's been several years. The past few have been on the Magic. The last time we went to Nassau we just took a cab over to Atlantis and spent a few hours there. I'm not sure what we're going to do this time. Can't wait, though!

 

[sonogal]

Will be me, Angie (38), DH Mike (36), DD Lauren (10), DD Erin (8), and DS Evan (5). Will be 2nd cruise with kids and 4th cruise for hubby and I. Never on Disney though. I'm a huge fan of Disney but DH could do without. We're going to spend a few days at the World before the cruise. I'm so excited! Kids don't even know yet.

I'd also like to know what to do in Nassau. Never been either and really don't want to spend $50/person for anything. Any ideas for a cheaper day?

 

[msnoble]

good to see we're getting a few more folks signed up for this cruise

Sonogal: my DD (age 11) will be excited to hear that you have a daughter near her age--not sure how you're keeping it a secret though--I'd be bursting at the seams! I have seen on other threads here that Cabbage Beach is a low cost option on Nassau--apparently you can get there via taxi, it's a relatively uncrowded public beach according to the person who posted it. We are seriously thinking about the sea lion encounter--not sure we can resist that opportunity . I'm just hoping the weather will be warm

 

[tigger2on]

So we have decided to cancel this cruise and book the Disney Dream with the rest of the family the last week of summer vacation in 2011.
Hope you all have a blast... we are just goin to do a quick trip to AKV DVC instead.

sorry to hear that, but I'm sure you'll have a great time on the new ship!!

This will be our first Disney Cruise. We have done all the other major lines and couldn't pass up this price and a chance to see how Disney does a cruise! Do meet and greets get planned here? Does Disney even give a room for one? I'm used to Cruise Critic and the roll calls over there..is this similar?

[tigger2on]

Looks like we are still going to be on this cruise after all. I have TRIED but just can't seem to CANCEL it.... so Looks like myself(38), dd (5) and ds (3) will be joining you all after all. My dd may have to stay in the younger OC group with my son, but she really won't mind...
Looking forward still to reading a good adult novel with NO pictures!

Hi Doris,
I guess this is roughly the equivalent of the roll calls on Cruise Critic--I've never been over there

This is my first cruise, and I am still a relative newbie here on the DISboards. I started the thread, but am not quite sure what is supposed to happen next

Right now it looks like we have 7 disers/families signed up:
msnoble (mom, DD11, DS9)
tigger2on (mom, DD5, DS3)
familyfun5 (mom, DS12, DS1, DD7mos, DGM, DGGM, DA and 2kids ages 6,12)
allesma (mom, dad, DD13, DD8)
cruisinlady (mom, DS14, DGM)
sonogal (mom, dad, DD10, DD8, DS5)
DMRick (??)

As far as meet and greets, I think if we want to all meet up onboard we just pick a time/place and meet there informally.

Ideas, anyone?

 

[tigger2on]

Looks like we will be "single" moms for the cruise.... I know my DD(5) will love the clubs... not so sure about DS(3). Hoping to get DD to stay in the 3-4 yr old group with him as she will only just have turned 5.
What cabin are you in? What is you dinner seating... main or second?
Maybe we can hang out when our kids are off on their own!

We don't have a cabin assigned yet--we have a cat. 12 gty, but I'm hoping we might be upgraded (tho not holding my breath for an upgrade ). We have main seating for dining, no way my kids could do the late seating. I'm not honestly sure how much my kids will do the clubs, I'm hoping at least some.

I think hanging out would be fun--figure it would be fun to find someone to help me take advantage of those "2 for 1" yummy adult beverages Maybe we could get cruisinlady and/or familyfun5 to join us--they appear to be travelling "single" as well

I'm not a single Mom, but Hubbie and I would probably like to join in the evenings. We have late seating as main was not available anymore. We have a cat 9 booked, like to have a porthole. Hopefully the kids will do some time in the clubs so I can try my new e-reader.

For the Dis-meeting we could met at the kids pool so the kids could have their swim (if the weather allows this) and we do the meet and greet? Kids could get to know each other before going to the clubs etc.

 

[rotterdam]

Second family from Europe/Netherlands signing up for Disney cruise meet (sailing febr. 21th)! We (DW/DH) have two sons, one son/21 is taking a week off from college. The other son is 13. This will be our third cruise, we're still exited as we were the first time!

 

[Allesma]

Welkom!/Welcome. Nice to know that there will be at least 2 guys whom our DD13 can turn to if she has any questions.

Today we made a reservation for the Palo brunch at 12.30 anyone else is going to the brunch at the Sea day?

Greetings Allesma
