[cclark38]

Hello, we are doing the 4 night/3 day land sea option and the sea parts starts August 27th was wondering if there is a thread or link for me to join. thanks chaley

I am also on that cruise, I can't find a thread for it, shall we start one?

Let's start one! I'll be on the cruise also! I live in Central New Jersey, and my family is crazy and is driving from NJ to FL, but split into 2 days. We'll be staying at Caribbean Beach. This will be our second cruise on the Wonder and our 7th overall. We already have almost our whole trip planned out, with only a little less than a year to go... We really don't want to wait any longer and are very excited to be back on the Wonder!!!

 

[BevS97]

Cool, it sounds like we are on our way!

We are coming over from the UK, staying at the Boardwalk with a cruise in the middle. This is our first cruise so we don't know anything yet! But it is our 7th trip to WDW, so I am an old hand at that side of things.

We are staying at the port of orleans french quarter, this will be our first cruise and have no idea what to expect. chaley

It's our first cruise too, I have been trying to read everything I can get my hands on to find out more about what we can do and where we can go. I want to do it all! Not sure if that will be possible in 3 short days.

Oh man, first cruise on the Wonder, good choice! Cruises are the best, and it's impossible to just go on just one in your life. Once you go on one, you get hooked!

I've gone ahead and edited the title so it is no longer a question. Happy planning!

 

[BevS97]

How are your plans coming along? I am starting to think about excurions in Nassau. I can't decide if we should do the Dolphin Encounter, go to the beach, or check out the town of Nassau itself. I am kind of leaning towards the Dolphins as we will have a beach day at Castaway Cay, and I'm not a huge beachy person, but I would like to see a little bit of Nassau as well as the Dolphins. I'd hate ot travel all that way and then feel like i had missed the town iyswim.

I think we might do the dolphin excursion in Nassau as well. We've been on the Wonder before, and it was scheduled to be the same itinerary as this upcoming cruise, although due to a hurricane, we went to Cozumel instead. We're exciting to finally be able to go to Castaway Cay & Nassau...hopefully this time.

 

[BevS97]

I quite fancy Conzumel, but I won't wish for a Hurricane to make it happen!!!

 

[Nikki x3 Jeter]

Definitely!

 

[BevS97]

just wondering if anyone else is cruising with us, it looks like the ship is going to be half empty at this rate!

I was really hoping we could get a good chat going and participate in all the swaps etc that I have read about on other threads

I'm sure that not everyone books this far in advanced. I know we had this cruise booked in the beginning of August which is over a year before the cruise. Maybe not everyone books so far in advanced, although we're driving and have ALL of our stops completely planned out already.

 

[BevS97]

I thought I was booking late at only 11 months out It seems like on theDis people are serious planners

Hi! Room for one more? I'll be on that cruise too! I'm so excited. I went to WDW several times as a kid, but this is my first time since being married. I can't wait to see my DD's face when we go. This will also be my first WD cruise. I've been reading the boards for a while, but this is my first post. I was surprised that there was already a board for our cruise. Anyway, looking forward to getting to know everyone and learning the ropes. (I finally figured out what a fish extender is!)

Definitely room for lots more. I am really excited as well. This is our first cruise, although we have been to WDW a few times (6 but whose counting )

We're in the same boat as you No pun intended. We're also at Port Orleans French quarter and taking our first Disney cruise. There's tons of info on here about the cruise. I've been learning all sorts of things. Maybe we can help each other along. Or maybe the vets on here can give us some hints.

Count my family of 4 in, me, DH, DS14 & DD10. We are headed to the World on August 15th - staying at Saratoga Springs on Developer points we got this past summer and then on the 27th jumping on the Wonder to rest before school starts! Can't wait to see Castaway Cay again and enjoy the beaches there. This will be our 4th Disney Cruise. We have done the 7 day Eastern, the 7 day Western and the 15 day Eastern Repo cruise onboard the Magic. This will be our first time on the Wonder. Should be a great time! We did something a bit different this time and we hope we don't regret it. In the past we have always gotten a balcony room but since this is just a 3 day cruise we booked a guarantee cat 12 so we will see what we end up with. We figured it would save some $$ and since we will spend most of the day on deck or on the beach, there was really no need for a balcony. See you in August!!

200 days!
