Can not believe how few DIS member we have going on this cruise.
I looked an another Dream cruise thread the other day- some sail date in June I think and they had like 30+ DIS members going - not counting other family members. Not that I'm complaining.

 

[rosiep]

Maybe people are leery of going so early after it's unveiling...I think people must expect there to be kinks...


That or they heard you were going..

 

[wallyb]

I think we are on like the 6th sailing -
by that time you should be the only KINK on board!

Maybe they heard that I will be on the ship. With my history of bad weather, very few people want to cruise with me a second time! Even my granddaughter is a little concerned. She asked me the other day if it ever snows in the Bahamas. Of course, I said not that I know of. She will bring her camera to document the snow in Nassau on the day that I arrive!

What's the internet for?

(Yes. I saw Avenue Q back in April)

Yeah, well, my last roll call, on Cruise Critics - we ended up with about 100 people who registered for the Meet & Mingle. I would prefer one that had a little less drama than that cruise, though.

I think I was, however, the YOUNGEST active roll call participant.

BUT! This is my first warm-weather cruise. Beth, it'll be interesting. My DH and I tend to have contrary weather on our trips - like, we were in Europe at the start of that now-relentless heat wave and 85 in St. Petersburg Russia was uncalled for. We've been to rainforests where it's forgotten to rain. But I just want to go somewhere warmer than Michigan for a brief trip this winter! IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK!?!

(In 2009, we were in Disney World for the marathon and after. It was around 50. It wasn't fun. It was -20 here in Michigan, so I only had really limited sympathy. )

Where you EVER?!?!?!?!

Granted...it wasn't for very long...but...I WAS ONCE!!!!

Did you tell her she was going on the cruise?

My husband & I have decided to do this cruise instead of WDW in February.

Can't wait!

Welcome!!!!

Did you tell her she was going on the cruise?

No, not yet. She's hinting and she's begging, but I've told her that I can't afford to add another person to the reservation, and that her mom will need her at home since she will be so close to her due date (it will actually be about a month). HOWEVER, she is trying all kinds of ways to "convince" me to take her. Her latest scheme was that she would come as the photographer (she's pretty good at it) so that I won't have to spend so much time taking pictures. Therefore, the idea of taking pictures of the snow in Nassau! She also offered to come along to take care of my clothes, to go and bring food back for breakfast so that Jim and I won't have to get up so early, to carry our luggage--you get the idea! Pretty soon I can just tell her that I tried to add her to the reservation, but our life boat station was full and I can't afford to move to another area of the ship at this point because the price has gone up so much!

It's getting harder to keep the secret, though, because now I'm starting to make my plans for the "after cruise" stay at WDW. We were going to stay for a week, but our plans are changing a bit. My son and daughter-in-law have decided that they want to do our postponed family trip in the fall, so we'll all be going back again! I don't think they'll be camping with the new baby, but we'll probably stay at Pop Century or somewhere and have a slightly more relaxed trip than we're accustomed to. So right now, I think we'll go after the cruise for three or four days and plan our fall trip. That frees up a couple of Jim's vacation days to join me in Atlantic City for a week in November!
