Thanks for the address Chuck. I hope your son and Lisa are treating like a king this Father's Day.

Just wanted to post a few of my favorite pictures. Would love to see yours!

Can someone help me remember what deck this is on?

Our verandah view when we arrived in Nassau:

Nice pics Belynda......thanks for sharing. Sorry, we don't know what deck that is.

Bret put up some of our photos on webshots. You just have to find the cruise pictures. We also have some pics of last year's cruise along with other things as well.

Love the pictures! I swear I didn't see half the stuff you show in your pictures. All the things I'll have to look for the next time we're on the Wonder ... Keeping my fingers crossed that it's sooner and not later.

P.S. Did we get short changed on Pirate Night? I've read from prior posts that bandanas were given away even if they were only the smaller ones that didn't fit anyone's head.

Those are some great shots from everyone.
I need to set up an account to post my pictures online here.

Well, last year we were given streamers for the sail away party and bandanas at the restaurant and at the party but that is one of the cutbacks.

Now, last year they had the pirate party at 7:30? or 7:45? and the pirate buffet was not listed in the Navigator nor did I see it on the deck so either they didn't offer the buffet that particular cruise or we just missed out on it.

Does anyone know how long it will take before Cliff and I get our Castaway Club IDs in the mail? What exactly is in the members-only section on the DCL website? Nosy me just wants to know ...

I think we got our CC cards a few weeks after returning. They sent us a CD with some music on it along with it. Maybe you will get yours in the next week or two. Let us know when you get it.
I didn't go into the members only section too much and it has been awhile since I've been it that part. Maybe I'll go into it tomorrow and give you some ideas of what is in there.

Oh a CD ... something to look forward to since I won't be cruising for awhile.

Jealous that you and Bret and Chuck and his family have another cruise booked! Seriously looking at cruising again in 2011 - Jonathan and I will be celebrating our 20 year wedding anniversary that year in August. Wouldn't that be a nice way to celebrate? Depending on when Wonder will be on the West Coast, we could visit the Wonder again or perhaps a NCL 7 day cruise to Hawaii. We'll see ...

Let's just hope that they still send the CD and it's not another one of those things they cut out of their budget.......... Maybe this will help.

Celebrating your 20th anniv. on a Disney cruise would be fantastic!!! Last year we took our first cruise on the Wonder for our 15th anniv. and it was something very special (even though we celebrated it a week earlier than our actual anniv.) The price difference between those 2 weeks was a few hundreds dollars more so we went earlier to save some money. The only thing that concerns me is that August in HURRICANE SEASON but I'm not sure how that would affect you on the west coast. But I know here, I do not and will not take the chances..... for one thing, I get sea sick very easily...plus....Bret has to be at work whenever a storm is threatening us. So June is really the only month I can go on a cruise.

OMG ... completely forgot about hurricane season. Definitely need to do more research. I've got plenty of time while I wait for my CD, if it comes...

Have a great weekend to everyone and stay cool!!! It's suppose to be 100+ degrees where we live. Only difference is we don't have the humidity like in FL. That humidity factor just wore us done!

Well they cut a lot of mid-level people out of their budget too, unfortunately. That said, early to mid August is probably OK....Dont forget that the infamous Hurricane Andrew, the first storm of the season, did not actually hit until August 24th. That said, the real month to avoid is September as that is when the most hurricanes by far strike.

We are taking the competition - ie Liberty of the Seas Aug 8-15 out of Miami (and i will be posting a comparison thread on the trip reports section of this site) and are not too concerned about the weather...but then, yes, we are also going on Thanksgiving again. But we also have a huge advantage in not having to pay airfare costs.

Also, we are now friends with Cliff on Facebook (real names Chuck/Lisa Eiss - but separate pages)...

Thanks for the Bday wishes.. it was great.. and DH had a great Father's Day. DH got bitten by a spider last week.. but all is good now. I am up reminiscing about the cruise. I will post my pictures I have soon. We have family vacation discussion in October. So far we have on the table, a week long at Disney, or 4 days at Disney and a 3/4 day Disney cruise, a 7 day cruise with another cruise line, OR driving up to Boston. (road trip kind of vacation).

I am going now to set up account.

I have Cliff on FB, anyone else can add me www.facebook.com/jenbled

Have a great trip Chuck! I can't wait to hear about it. We have 304 days until we leave on our 5 night double dip at the end of May..........but we do leave Thursday morning for a quick trip to the world before I return back to work from summer vacation.
