Hi Everyone,

To help Corinna put the mini-Navigator together, I volunteered to help gather information for a couple of sections:

1) Celebrations during the cruise. For this we would need DIS Name, first name(s), date, and what is being celebrated.

2) Pages with pre- and post-cruise stays. For this we would need DIS name, first name(s), dates, and where people are staying.

I know there is some information on the first page spreadsheet, but at this point I don't know how accurate that is, considering all the changes that have been made.

So please contact me if you would like your information to be included in the Hawaiian mini-Navigator. Thank you!

We are celebrating our 25th Anniversary of our 1st Date & our 14th Wedding Anniversary (both of the same date of April 25th).

Also Troy will be celebrating his 50th Birthday on May 5th.

Please use Troy's DIS name (scubadiver) since we have things listed that way instead of my DIS name.

I can pretty much make a guarantee you will. You will be dining with DISers!!!

Without out being linked you might end up sitting with DISers anyways. That happened on the WBTA 2010 with us. Our table of 6 adults ended up being all DISers that hadn't linked reservations.

gurlwithwings35 - Nick and Holly - not sure which day yet, but on one of the sea days, we will be getting married and the cruise is our honeymoon!

 

[JLSE50]

So we pulled the trigger on a back to back in the Med in 2013 - Venice 12 night + Mallorca 4 night. Booked at 8:41am today.

Over the years I've been gradually extending my 'long' vacation at work...14 day cruises were 2 weeks worth usually...This Hawaii cruise is now 12 work days. The 16 days next summer will be 13 work days. I think that's about the limit before people realize I'm pretty much gone for 3 weeks...

We're most excited for the chance to see Croatia and Mallorca. We love Monte Carlo and will get to visit there twice. Plus we can go back to Italy...so it's all good.

We can't wait for this Hawaii trip though - we are so ready for a break!!!

What do you recommend in Monte Carlo?

 

[pilk]

Jon, that's going to be a long commute from WDW (just kidding, I know you meant DL).

Thanks for the info.

Actually I did mean WDW......I just had the wrong cruise. We just aren't as organized as we usually are for these two cruises. Got to still book the hotel in California and Florida. At least our flights are booked. Work keeps getting in the way.

The link on the first page for the group Facebook page only takes me to my Facebook homepage ... Am I doing something wrong?

It is a closed group. Send a PM to "Brooklyn" here on the DIS asking for an invitation and tell her your FaceBook name.

Welcome aboard

Hi All,

I have frequently lurked on this board, but do not really post. I having been trying to access the DCL website to see the shore excursions and can not access them at all? I am missing something??? Do you have to be PIF to view them...I have until 2/14 as I booked this one the first day of booking. My husband and I were planning on going and he has recently taken a new job. I do not think he is going to be able to get the time off, so I am trying to convince my newly retired (yet somewhat ill) father to come with me. Before I really try to push him, I wanted to check out the excursion and see if there were any that we could both enjoy and manage, but I can not seem to find them.
On a related note...have anyone tried to change the name on the reservation prior to the PIF date. I would imagine it is not a problem, but was just wondering if this is difficult or not.
Hope that i get to join you all on this great trip !

There are excursions at each port that are a low level of exertion. If he does not need a wheelchair you should be fine.

It is not a problem to change names. We have done this twice. Once 3 months out and once 3 weeks before we sailed (this was due to a death).

 

[JLSE50]

You and Dennis are "young" old, if you know what I mean (cause we are, too ). Truthfully, I don't think I'd ever book a Mexican Riviera cruise. With all the unrest I have no desire to go to Mexico at this time (we plan to stay onboard when we dock at Ensenada).



I wonder why people like that even go on cruises since they're such social vacations (at least for most of us). Our last cruise we had a fantastic group; we laughed at everything (ask me about my "unmagical" salad someday).

OK, I am asking today about your "unmagical" salad.

Hey there fellow Hawaii (and now I guess some fellow May 2013 WBPC cruisers) since we are on page 2 I'd thought I would bump us back to page 1 by posting a photo of a lighting test for Cars Land I took tonight. Here you go. Enjoy.
