We are also awaiting our vgt room assignment and are hoping for a deck up high due to slight motion sickness and me being pregnant I'm hoping it won't make the motion sickness worse, any one have any experience and know if there's any pregnant friendly motion sickness remedies

This will be our first cruise...have two younger daughters with us, 6 and 4. If anyone else has girls similar age, I am sure they'd love to play..thanks

I really hope our FE gifts turn out well! I'm new at this and feel a little lost! I spent almost a year planning our last WDW trip and have only had the cruise booked for a month. . Do any other first timers feel the same? Or is it just my OCD nature? Lol! I have to say I am very excited about it. This will be a whole new experience for us. First cruise and first family vacation just the three of us!

Hi, I'm with you 100%.. Totally new at cruising. Nvr been, but have been to wdw in deluxe resorts at least 4 times a year since 200).. Very familiar w it. But feel lost at cruising. Trying to make door signs...no luck, I don't understand any of it! Oh we'll,
We are determined to ave fun, no matter what!

I have a 4 year old boy and 6 year old girl. It is our first cruise too!

Anyone ever surprise their kids with the trip? We haven't told our kids yet and were going to tell them know we were going to visit Grandma (we are before cruise). My plan is to just pull up at the port instead of going to the airport. Anyone have any creative ways to drop the surprise?

I am looking forward to everyone's gifts and hope mine go over well too. I think several of us are first timers so we are all in the same boat (literally).

we are surprising our children as well, i know once we get to the airport she will think we are going to walt disney world, but once we get to the port she will be even more excited becasue all she has been talking about since our cruise this summer to bermuda is going on another big boat

COOL! looking forward to seeing you on the boat!

 

[ellensfamily]

Wow, so many of us are new cruisers..that's going to make this fun..I have determined there is no real right or wrong when decorating our doors or FE's!

I hope most of us are able to stop by the vista Lounge at around 3pm...even if its just to say a quick hello..

Starting to lay things out in our spare room , like suntan lotion, crocs, etc...
My hubby thinks im nuts.

I hope we can find it! And me too! I have outfits pulled. Now to make sure we have the sunscreen and everything else. My cousin passed along a great tip I hadn't thought of. Make sure to pack lotion instead of spray sunscreen. She said with the wind the spray was hard for her. But I am very pale so she may just be trying to make sure I put some on!

We will try hard to make it to the Vista Cafe at 3. We have no stateroom as of yet... We booked at VGT restricted rate: we do not get to choose: must wait for DCL to assign us a start room!! The wait is driving me crazy but we should find out within the next couple days! Hoping for at least deck 8 or 9!

We are waiting as well for our VGT assignment. I just checked now and still nothing...probably in the next day or two they should be assigned...I hope!!

Try SeaBands. They go on your wrist and are not "drugs" but work on an accupressure principle.

Many of us have younger ones coming with us. What are you planning to do to prevent and or treat sea sickness for them? Not sure what to do for dd(3)!
