Missed you yesterday at the MK! Did you get caught in the downpour before the fireworks as well?

Tom and I cannot wait to meet you at 5 on Wednesday!

I was wondering if any of you all would be around the parks yesterday. I was working, got back to the break room right as the rain started. I was on ferryboats all night. Suffice to say, I'm happy to be done and ready for the cruise!

since the 2nd one is at 8pm, I might be able to make that. I get done with work at 8 but sometimes I can sneak off early, takes me about 45 min to get to DTD.

Where is the meet at DTD? Also can someone PM me a cell number so I can keep in touch with status as I leave in case it ends up being a short meet or something, don't wanna drive 45 min for nothin

At this time of year, we need to be concerned with tropical systems since it is about the peak of hurricane season. Last year we flew down to WDW right as Hurricane Irene was coming up the coast and headed for NYC the next day.


My hope is since that was exactly a year before to the day of our cruise, that it is unlikely to have another one right around that date.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news...but there is a decent chance of a tropical system being in the area of the Bahamas by around Saturday. Hopefully it stays to the south, but I think at best we may be looking at some choppy seas. At worst...well, let's just try to stay positive.

Just spoke with DCL and semi-formal night will be on Saturday, the 25th. Pirate Party is still scheduled for Sunday the 26th. It's usually held on the night we depart Nassau so this is a change from the normal routine.

All tropical disturbances, storms, typhoons, hurricanes, and other bump-producing weather systems WILL veer sharply northward or southward. That is an order!!

I figure the worst case scenario is the captain would steer around the tropical storm and as much as it would suck to not be able to dock anywhere and miss ports at least we'll be safe and hopefully out on sea with nice weather

My son has a knack for creating things in Photoshop. He came up with this for our Dream sailing and posted it to the Facebook Event page.

Are you having any onboard meets?

I recently booked and I am late getting on here.

I have an extra cabana for the 2nd day at Castaway Cay I will be cancelling tonight if anyone is looking.

Thanks, Carol

Hello Carol,

We are definitely interested in the cabana, have you already cancelled it? I just looked on the Disney site and it does not show any available cabanas. I wonder if they have a waiting list for those who may be wanting one also.

It was for August 28, correct?

Thanks, Jamie

 

[skittle]

We are flying out tomorrow for a few days at Universal. Perhaps we'll see some of you of the ship!

Well off to bed, our plane takes off in less than 10 hours!

Watching our local new this AM it seems like it could hit central Florida Wed. Living here for almost 10 years I have learned that anything can happen with these storms!!

 

[mizzkellzee]

I don't think we'll be making it to Nassau... The tropical storm is suppose to start to hit Cuba and the Bahamas by Sunday morning!!

[DisneyMagicMover7]

Hi All New to Disboards ... Like the fact I can get to know the ppl that I'll be sharing a vacation with ....

 

[DCL4LIFE]

Nassau I don't mind missing, I just hope we can find clear waters and some sun! And at least one Castaway stop. Other than that, I am on the Dream, and that beats being on land any day.

Hello and welcome ! Where are you from and who are you coming with ?

Nassau I don't mind missing, I just hope we can find clear waters and some sun! And at least one Castaway stop. Other than that, I am on the Dream, and that beats being on land any day.

Yes agreed! I hope worst case we're out on sea with sun, sun, and more sun!!

I'm rooting for the European forecast computer model to be correct. It keeps the system to the south a lot longer (and weaker also), not making its turn north until the western edge of Cuba and then moving into the eastern Gulf of Mexico. Those on the gulf coast of Florida - probably not with me in rooting for that one. In any case, they'll have a much better idea in 48 hours where this thing is likely to go. I think there is a good chance we get a decent day Saturday at CC...maybe a little windy with some larger than normal waves - rip currents could be a concern though. Depending on timing, the itinerary change may work to our benefit with Sunday at sea. They can sail to clearer weather to the east. Nassau may be a question mark on Monday and then hopefully it has moved on by the time we get to Tuesday for a return to CC.
