We booked our trip last week!!! It will be myself, DH,DS11,DD4, my parents and my grandfather. 2 cabins (7610/7608). My kids have never been on a cruise before and none of us have been on a Disney cruise, so we are all excited! I read through this entire thread this morning. Yep, didn't get much else done! Anyway it will be great to meet so many of you on the ship, or maybe even the night before at the Radisson. I can't believe how early many of you booked. It was fun to go through all the holidays as I read this morning.

My DS would like to get to know someone his age( 11) before the cruise. If anyone would like to be his e-mail pal PM me and I will give you our E-mail address. I noticed several kids around the 10-11-12 age group. Thanks! I can't believe we are gong!

I sent you a PM with my 10 year old son's address. He is seriously into sports.

My 12 year old daughter is also interested in e-mailing a girl about her age. Her interests include dancing, music and socializing in general. She's not much into sports, though. I'll be happy to PM her address.

Less than 6 more months to go - - wow!

Wow! Thanks so much everyone. I will send out DS's e-mail address in PMs. They will have quite a nice little group of friends before we sail! DS is also into sports, especially hockey and soccer, and loves to talk about the parks too. What a nice group I will be sailing with! I am so looking forward to meeting all of you.

Wow - no posts in a week! I don't think that's happened before.

Linda and I are leaving on a cruise next Saturday on the Celebrity Constellation. The ship departs from and returns to . . . . San Juan. We will be arriving at the ship probably about 1:00 pm, and the ship does not sail until 11:00 pm. So, we'll have some time to check it out. On the way back, we are going to have a lot of time before our flight back to Connecticut. We've signed up for an excursion to the Yanque Rainforest.

So, if anyone has any questions or wants me to try to check anything out in advance, let me know!

That one could be tough, because I believe that most people doing San Juan excursions will be doing it on the last day after disembarkation, so I won't have much of a chance to speak with them afterwards.

There is a great website for all things cruise related - you will get lots of info on excursions at any port. www.cruisecritic.com

There are threads for various ships, threads very similar to this one for people going on the same cruise, and threads for various ports. You can also get info on booking excursions directly with vendors - - some of the better (and cheaper) ones are not through the cruise lines.

This is the thread re San Juan:

Good morning, all. My DD, Kristin, who will be turning 10 on the cruise, asked if I would make a request for her. She is looking for an e-mail pal who would be in the 10-12 age group on the cruise. Please PM me and I will send her e-mail address.
Thanks.

Welcome aboard Clarabelle Cow! My DD will be 10 on the cruise, and if that's not too young, is always looking for a new friend.

Welcome Aboard!!! We have a DD 13, know what you are talking about!!! LOL!!! Have you checked out our cruise list and cruise photo gallery on my website. Go to the home page and look down the left hand column for 8-21-04 Cruise List, there you will see some of your fellow San Juan Sojourners cruise buddies.

If you e-mail me your snail mail address, I can send you a door magnet for the cruise.

Any other DIS'ers in the New Jersey, New York, Philadelphia area interested in joining us for a DISmeet on Saturday June 5, 2004 sounds like it is going to be a MAGICal and WONDERful get together!!!

 

[Gayle17]

That sounds like fun. I am in NYC and only about 45 minutes away. It would be fun to meet you before the cruise.

I just printed off directions from Mapquest and I am about 70 miles away, but we drove more than that to go from my grandmother's house in Deland, Florida to eat at Dixie Crossroads in Titusville, Florida. That didn't even take into consideration, the fact, that we will be meeting a group of other DIS'ers!!! This should be a great time!!!

 

[Credit Man]

I don't know if this has been asked before. Since our cruise goes to San Juan and St. Thomas, does that mean we will not have to have an early morning customs event mid-cruise?

 

[Verandah Man]

We will be going to St. Thomas first, so we should NOT have to go to the early morning immigration check-in!!!!! DW and DD are very happy about that!!!!!

 

[denise5374]

Yeah!! I am also very happy about that!!![/SIZE]

Have a great weekend all!!
