[irishone21]

bdwk1997- we're from Auburn...right outside of Worcester. How about you? I'm sure there will be lots of MA people- I'm a teacher so it's my vacation too I thought I saw your name on a thread for a 7 day this week..did you change your plans?

We are from North Reading....we did the 7 day western last April, had such a good time we rebooked. Then different things came into play, the kids didn't want to do the "same" cruise and we bought a piece of land on the Vineyard...I was thinking, we'd be doing finishing touches during April vacation Only the foundation is done...so we, at the last minute, booked the 4 day. Less than 3 weeks to go

We almost went on that one...but we decided it would be nice to have a couple days before going back to school. I'm thinking maybe next time...we will probably rebook onboard. The Vineyard...nice! Good luck with that process. 2 weeks to go now!! Now I'm running around trying to make sure everyone has enough summer clothes, etc. I hadn't done much warm weather shopping before now...it was such a long winter. Do you drive to Logan when you fly out? If so, where do you park? We're trying to figure out what we're going to do for transportation getting to & from Logan. Thanks.

Hi Irishone21, the past few trips we were flying out of Manchester, NH, which I actually like better. We are, however, flying out of Logan. We will probably take a car service since we are only 20 minutes or so from the airport. We have parked in the garage on past trips. Friends of our have dropped off at curbside and the family checked in while he parked on another lot and took the shuttle back to the terminal. I'm sure it would make more sense for you to drive and park somewhere. As far as the summer clothes, we went to Aruba in February, so we are all set. I'm so looking forward to warm weather.

We are also on this cruise: myself, my wife, adult daughter and 10 year old grandson. It will be my grandson & daughter's third cruise with us on the DCL. It will be our 8th cruise. We selected this cruise on the last minute (for us, that is!), booked on Feb.11th. It was a deal that we could not pass up. We are really looking forward to this... a surprise cruise for us.

We are out of New Port Richey, Fl on this cruise. Deal to great to pass up.

bdwk1997- That's nice to be so close to the airport. Not that we are that far away...but far enough that it can be a pain. We thought about the airport limo but I think we are just going to drive in and park at Logan. It will be our first time doing that..we've always gotten dropped off or taken the airport limo. I'm really excited for the warm weather too, and my kids are getting psyched about the trip in general. My 2 year old keeps saying " Go to Mickey boat!".

We're less than 90 days out now. I just made some reservations online for Palo and the nursery for our daughter. Now I'm getting excited! We've had so much snow and ice around here this winter I had sort of forgotten about our trip but i'm back now! Anyone else going???

We just booked a few weeks ago, I can't wait! We are from Hingham MA so I know about the snow this winter. I really need this break.

We are from Lowell and going with friends from Brookline and Boston.
We are flying from Manchester, we are leaving on Thursday so we will have a few days pre-cruise outside of Daytona with my in-laws.

I happend to be on a web site that shows all the cruise ships that will be in a certain port on a certain day. We are taking a Carnival cruise (wanted to try something different!) that will be in Nassau the same day you are. If you happen to see the Carnival Fascination wave!

Ouch!! We just booked our airfare a few weeks ago, not too bad considering....around 1,800 for a family of five on Jet Blue...plus we had a 643.00 credit..We leave on Thursday and will be staying at the Beach Club before the cruise. I have to start packing....

 

[irishone21]

Ok everyone- 2 days away. Is anyone else running around like a lunatic trying to get everything together? BTW, I'm a teacher and my report cards are due tomorrow also...it's been a hectic week! Really looking forward to the trip..we are flying down Saturday morning & staying at the airport Hyatt until Sunday. Anyone else?
