9/14 Trip Report

[newbycruiser]

Back from our Wonder 4 day trip, it was fantastic! This was our first crusie

Weather was picture perfect, Captain Henry took us to Castaway Cay first to make sure we got there.

Excellent: service, food, activities, shows, entertainment, kids clubs!

Send off party was great, we danced, I would have liked Carribean music instead of Mickey on uppers, but it worked for my DD.

Day one was just exploring the boat, it was fun and exciting.

Day Two was Castaway Cay: weather was absolutely gorgeous! They said it had been rainy for awhile, but we had perfect weather. CC was fantastic, Disney does EVERYTHING for you! We just hung out on the beach.

Day Three was Nassau, yuck! We got off the boat, walked to Del Sol, bought a t shirt, returned to the boat. The panhandlers were very annoying. The ship wasn't crowded at all, so DD enjoyed the pool!

Day Four was Day at Sea. DH and I hung out our on quiet Deck 4 sleeping, DD was at the Ocenaeer lab.

Then it was time to go home. We were offthe ship and 7:30. We were supposed to fly home at 4:30, but because of hurricane Isabel, they put us on a 12:30 flight! YAY!

The entertainment and shows were great, we watched Spy Kids and NEmo, the live shows were great. Hercules was pretty lame, but Golden Mickeys was super. Missed Disney Dreams (duh!) it was the first night and we weren't quite with the program yet...

Dueling pianos was funny, we went to the adult one, the young guy from Australia was very quick and witty. He doens't know alot of older songs yet, but give him time, he will. The other guy was from NY and seemed fried...

The ship rocked a little too much for me, I couldn't sleep, maybe I'll take a sleeping pill next time. Any suggestions?

Food and service was excelelnt! our server Dewa was super with the kids, keeping them entertained.

We took our own liquor on board, and kept our costs down with everything else.

All in all, I'd do it again, need to figure out how to sleep, though.

Any questions, ask away!

Hi Gail!!
I'm glad you guys had a good time!
We were sooo tired by the time we got off the ship we were like walking zombies by the time we got to the airport!
I wish they would have moved our flight up, they could have at an extra $100 per person! yikes!
I actually slept through take off! I was asleep in my seat before the plane even left the dock!

They changed ours with no penalty. I had checked earlier, but they said no seats and a big penalty.

Because of hurricane isabel, they waived all charges. We flew with USAIR, who had cancelled most of their East coast flights.

Hi Gail and Feenie too,

We had a great time on that cruise. It was nice meeting you and your families.

We went on to WDW until Sunday after the cruise. It was very humid.....hoping that the weather is a little cooler in October when we go.

After all the worrying we did about the hurricane, we had perfect weather. Just loved the rocking of the ship on the last night!!!

Weather was great, food was great, service was great and we're still amazed that hanging out with fireplug, fire4506 and their wives that we didn't get thrown off the ship.

Wanting to be on the ship again...........soon!

Gail
