2/9/2008 - Valentine Cruise 7 Night Western - Anyone On The Love Boat ?

[jdybnsn]

I'm a "I want it now, Daddy" (said like the blueberry girl in Willie Wonka) kind of girl. You are killing me here, Judy!

Sorry, doesn't look as though I am going to get confirmation till Monday now

.....you'll just have to bear with me...believe me I'm more impatient than you are

Looks like we'll be joining you all as well. I just moved by Dec. 1, 2007 date to Feb. 2008 when I found out my son's winter break from kindergarten will be this week....I had hoped for a summer cruise, but that got torpedoed by the Magic going to California in 2008

We'll have two adults, and one child....

Sorry you had to change your plans but...yay!
Hi and welcome!

Well, I have some news.................


Unfortunately, it is not quite the news that I was hoping to post


I was hoping to be able to tell you that we had booked our Wedding on Castaway Cay (you are way too smart Yearbook50 ) but, sadly, fate has conspired against us, because despite ringing DFTW to put in our booking the minute the lines opened, a year out, we were rung back today by the DCL wedding coordinator, to say we were unable to have this venue (there is only one wedding allowed on Castaway Cay per trip).

Even though I was 'first in the queue', what had happened was, a couple were due to get married on Castaway Cay this year on the same Feb cruise, ,and they were staying in the Poly before the cruise. However, as bad luck would have it, they got taken ill at the Poly, and were refused boarding last on weekend's sailing. As a result,they were offered the Castaway Cay wedding for our cruise in 2008, which I believe they have accepted.

I feel soooooo disappointed, as the CC wedding was what I so wanted and re-arranging our cruise is really not an option, coming from the UK.

That said, I feel so bad for the couple who had to miss their own perfect wedding - I cannot imagine how upset they must be ...how awful it must be for them


As a standby I have booked an 'onboard' wedding on our cruise (on the small 'secret' deck) and will have to console myself with a few of the up sides; such as I won't miss a full day at CC , and that this means that we would actually marry on Valentines Day. I'm not sure if we are going to stick with this though

Please send me some pixie dust in the hope that the other couple might decide to change their plans.

I know how stressful DFTW can be. A week before I was set to call them, they decide to change around the packages and scare the living daylights out of me because I had to change the date of my wedding because of it. But its all worked out now, hopefully...hopefully nothing else changes before contracts are sent out in a couple months.

I'm not sure if you would consider it, but maybe getting married at Sunset Pointe the day before the cruise (just not at 2:30pm, thats my time ) It would allow you to have a beach wedding.

Hopefully pixie dust will come your way and you may end up being able to get Castaway Cay

But yay
Another DFTW bride on the boat.

Ah Judy, I'm sorry.

 

[jdybnsn]

Nevermind, I'm trying to stay positive, and think of the other poor couple who must have been much more upset than me.

Hopefully, you may all get a slice of wedding cake yet !

[tevagirl]

Lol, but I have to think about fitting into a wedding dress ...don't want folks to be shouting "Whale Ahoy"....when we are out on deck doing our nuptials !

You're right, that wouldn't be good. Okay, no more chocolate for you. As a matter of fact you'd better send me all that you have.

If I had any left from yesterday you would get it .....sad to report what I did not finish was swiftly cleared up by the kids

Good morning fellow cruisemates.

 

[yearbook50]

Good morning.

I'm busy getting ready to leave the country for 9 weeks...
Trying to figure out what to pack is no fun.
