April 17, 2011 on the Dream

[Deb T.]

I've got a question from those of you that booked through a travel agent and HAVE received your documents...did they come straight from DCL? Or did they come from your travel agency?

Booked both of our B2B cruises with DU and already have both sets of cruise documents.

 

[Deb T.]

Got our cruise documents today
But I've got so many things to do:
Sort out all my receipts to file my taxes tonight.
Fly off to London tommorrow.
Go to San Diego at the beginning of April.
Then come back unpack and pack again for myself and DD14, and sort out the FE gifts.
As well as working fulltime outside and at home the days I'm back in New York
I'll be breathing a sigh of relief once we sail though.

Wow - London! Have a safe flight and a great time! We were just there last July and really enjoyed walking all over the city!

I guess you can add us to this list

I added you to the list in post 2812. Hopefully, tomorrow will be a celebratory day for all of you!!!

I am a TA and you can have it either way - either directly to your guest or have them come to the TA first. Many TA's like them to come to them first so they can check them over to be sure everything looks good before passing them on to their guests - plus sometimes, we like to make a very special package out of them for our guests!

Hey all - here to say Hi! and Bye! ...we are off again for the weekend. Connor has a Taekwondo tournament tomorrow - an AAU National qualifier (fingers crossed for a 1st - 4th place finish) and then to NJ. My Dad is celebrating his 70th and Asia her 7th. Probably won't be on the boards till late Sunday or Monday when I am back to work.
To everyone who hasn't gotten their Docs...pixie dust for them to come tomorrow. To add to those chiming in - we booked through a travel agent and got our Documents yesterday straight from DCL. They sent documents to both my parents and me.
Have a good weekend...
Debbie

I got my documents in the mail yesterday. I am sure everyones are on the way. Everything has been so busy here with the start of baseball and softball season. I was getting use to days off from work- I work at a high school- with snow days but those days are over! I have done nothing to get ready for this cruise. I really have to get my act together.

Good luck to your son at his tournament! That sounds excititing for him (and you). Enjoy your time with your family and safe travels.

Just checked the mail and...................... Ness has cruise documents!

I am sorry to say, I must come off one of the lists.

I got my cruise docs today!! OH YEAH!!!!

 

[Sheree]

still no docs
i checked with out TA and it sounds like they just got them so they should be here next week

 

[pershing]

I got my docs 2 days ago.

The little booklet is very cute. DCL's always changing things. I really like that. I still have our docs from our previous cruises with the pouch and thick little rectangle booklet...I like this booklet much better.

Ok but when do we fill out the customs form? Or is that not needed anymore? That form is my nemesis . Please tell me I don't have to fill it out in the terminal?? I have to do 4 of them.

I had realized that I had rented AKV until the 24th and we were leaving the 26th. This week my great DVC Owner person was able to snag me another night by waitlisting me! He was just as excited as me to discover that the wait list had come thru.

Now I just have to Hotwire the last night.

All FE gifts are labeled and bagged!
Before I pack them in one of my BIG rolling bags - who was that Mom who was ready to jump off the ship because she forgot her child's crayons (in her dream, lol)? I thought, I would remember, but it's been a while ago now....
Anybody else would be ready to jump off for the same reason? Please post - I want to make sure you will stay with us on board.

It was Disney1fan2002 who had the nightmare about forgetting to pack crayons for her DS, but I haven't noticed her posting here in a very long time.

I won't be on the list of those ready to jump off the ship for anything. Truth is, I have to be dragged off the ship when the cruise is over!

Thanks Deb! We would have to think of something to help us cope with Dream separation anxiety....
Disney1fan2002 - are you still with us?

They stopped requiring those a couple of years ago. Now they transmit everything electronically to Bahamian Customs, so they aren't needed any longer. The only Customs form you will fill out is the one you need when you leave the ship on the last morning, back in Port Canaveral.

Okay...my aunt, who is traveling with us, just pointed out that we have 3 weekends left before we set sail. What?! Seriously?! I had better get my act together and finish those FE gifts, pull out the suitcases, finish our tee shirts, and complete our door decorations. I must admit, I am having a great time preparing for our cruise. Super excited to see everyone and sail off into beautiful blue water!

I think the only thing we have to fill out in the terminal is a health survey.

After waiting months and months and months for a cruise vacation to get here, it seems that the last month flies by very quickly! Won't be long.....

Whew! That's a relief!

Do you think DCL will come out with the Wonder and Magic's 2012 Itineraries before we sail? I'm looking at the Dream's April 15, 2012 start to fill up. It's a five day too. What are the chances of an announcement in the next 3 weeks? Although, it's getting deep into 2011. An announcement is kinda overdue!

I hope they make an announcement before we sail, but if they don't I may just have to book a dummy reservation and possibly move it when they do release the "missing" itineraries. We already have a 5 night booked on the Dream in August, 2012 so I guess I could just move that one instead, but that is really going to depend on how much we like the Dream.

We'll definitely be booking a dummy date... maybe two! We've been hoping for another European itinerary. We would do the Baltic cruise again in a heartbeat! One of these days, we'll do an Eastern or Western... maybe next spring break???
