August 27th 2009 cruise on the wonder

[dinotorrid]

Is anyone interested in doing any of the exchanges that I have read about on other threads? I quite fancied doing a Fish Extender exchange if there is any other interest?

I'd also quite like some advice.

First on Nassau - Has anyone got any suggestions for activities/excursions for 2 parents, and 2 girls (11 and very nearly 6). I did fancy the dolphin swim but having looked at the videos on YouTube I was a little disappointed with the look of it, so have pretty much decided against it (unless anyone tells me differently).
Current plan is just to get off the ship and have a wander around, and then get back on the ship, but it does seem a shame not to see some of Nassau whilst we are there.


Second question is about the Pirate Night - both girls have got costumes, but neither adult has one yet - do most adults dress up? The kids really want us too, but I am not sure. If they do, then do they dress for dinner, or after dinner and before the party? We will be first sitting for dinner (I hope)

This is us, so if you spot us please say Hi.

1. Atlantis Aquaventure sounds pretty awesome if your into water parks. I went to Atlantis last year with the DCL but I didn't go in the water park.

2. I was one of those adults that dressed up on the 4-day cruise. A lot of people dress up, its pretty fun!

We'll see ya onboard!

I need a vacation as well, of course I'll be going to visit my grandfather in Juy so I'll go on a vacation before this, but it's not the same Disney Cruises are my true vacations.Also get to go to Hershey Park to see Blink-182 for the night

Just wanted to say hi and join this thread. I just booked the cruise yesterday, kind of a last minute 'why not' I'll be travelling with my son who's 20. It is the 2nd disney cruise for us both, we previously took the same 3-day cruise about the same time in 2007. I can't wait!

Yup! I am British but lived in the USA in the 80s, and went to High School in Pittsburgh and University at Lehigh and then after University my parents moved back to the UK and after much deliberation I followed them.

I have 2 girls who will be on their first cruise as well, they are 11 and 6, and I've just booked them into the kids clubs. They are really excited about it.

 

[DMMarla07860]

so would anyone like to plan a little dismeet or something the first day on the ship?

I am always up for a Dis Meet. I've never done a cruise before so I don't know the best time/place, can you suggest somewhere?

yeah, 3:00pm at the promenade lounger is usually a great time and place to do it, worked out great when I did my back-2-back cruise, both weeks both groups met there

I just booked this weekend.

My DH, DD (7) and I are looking forward to our 2nd Disney Cruise. We just went on the Disney Cruise in February and I got a 3 day cruise as a DVC add-on so I figured why not. We are getting in all the rest & relaxation before school start the following Wednesday.

I'm trying to learn from my mistakes last time and see how much more exciting I can make this trip.

There is so much to do and so little time.
