I've never been on a
Disney Cruise, or any other cruise. I love Disney, and I've always wanted to go to Alaska. July 19 is the date that my husband and I sail on the Disney Wonder. We're very excited! (one of us is a little nervous, but I'm not saying who and the recent reports of large and rolling seas aren't making this person feel any better.)
Hi And Welcome Aboard The Board!
My DH and I are very excited about our upcoming cruise as well. It will be the second sailing for us and I am sure it is going to be an amazing adventure.
As for the rolling seas, I wouldn't spend too much time being concerned about that. The ship has what they call "wings" which are stabilizers that can be put out to help keep here smoother and level. Also, by the time we are aboard her it will be summer and hopefully weather conditions will be gentler than they are during the transition from spring to summer.
All in all, I expect the folks on the later sailings to have a significantly different experience, particularly where the weather and water are concerned that the folks who are sailing early in May are having. After all, in Skagway they just cleared the railroad tracks for the first time this year at the very end of April so they are still sitting beneath winter there.
If you folks have issues with delicate tummies a quick check around the boards will find oodles of suggestions for remedies that help. Everything from ginger and Seabands to prescription solutions are recommended.
Also, by finding the meet thread for our cruise you have made it much easier to get an idea of not only what to do and where to do it but also will be able to get advice (if you want and need it
on everything from excursions to packing lists and everything in between.
It sure is going to be a great experience for us all and I for one can hardly wait.
Congrats on booking your first Disney Cruise and on finding DISboards and your meet thread. Not too shabby for your first efforts here
Oh, and do a search on "FE" which stands for Fish Extender. We are doing a Fish Extender gift exchange amongst some of the folks on our cruise and if you and your DH (Disney Husband
are interested in playing along there is still time to join the fun.
Once again, welcome! I will look forward to seeing you post more frequently as we draw ever closer to our departure and shall also look forward to meeting you when we get aboard "our" ship.
Take care, help lots of people and have a "Wonder"ful day!
