Hi amys37 and SoDakMinnie!

It's not too late to join this thread as far as I'm concerned, but I was kind of late to join myself. I bet we'll have a couple more people show up with last-minute questions before the 28th.

I'm still waiting for another male person to formally join in . My DW thinks it's pretty funny that I've been the only man to post here so far. She asked if I'm going to get together on the cruise with my new DISboards friends to watch Oprah or something!

We got airline tickets cheap through my husband's job. The tickets are standby so we arrive on the 27th and will stay at the Radisson Resort near the port and leave the car there. It looks nice and relaxing, I hope it is!

SoDakMinnie, did either of your kids go to The Stack on your first cruise? If so, did they like it? It sounds like your DD was just short of technically being a teenager, but perhaps somehow she still was able to go there with her brother?

This will be our first cruise, and I'm not sure how interested in going to Aloft my DD(15) and DS(13) will be. They have pretty different personailities, but get along really well. It's not really that big of a deal if they don't spend much time there since it's such a short cruise. Still, we're kind of hoping they will take advantage of it since we're kind of doing the 3-day as a test to see how much we might like doing a longer Disney cruise as a family.

Any opinions on experiences with the teen clubs from other posters would also be greatly appreciated as well.

Thanks,
Mike

DCL had said DD was close enough in age for the teen club. They both went the first night and stayed a while. The first night parents can go and meet the counselors and look the club over. It seemed nice and the counselors were very welcoming. However, DS is rather shy, and didn't meet anyone and DD felt like everyone would "know I'm not 13 yet" and would not go without her brother. She did say that she may go this year since she is now "a teenager". She is more outgoing and seemed to think it would be a nice place but felt uncomfortable last year. Sorry I can't give you any more insight.

Our cruise documents came today as well. I know I sound like the cruise newbie that I am (or perhaps just old!) when I say it's really cool to get actual travel documents in the mail. It makes it seem much more like an old-fashioned travel adventure. None of this newfangled fax or email stuff.

Did everyone else who has received documents also not have the Bahamas immigration form included? I've read on another thread how DCL is supposedly "taking care of this" form for cruisers based on check-in information.

I called about that once I read the thread too. We will get those at port now. Now if a time machine could get us there sooner rather then later!!
