Best Thing To Happen to you on a Disney Cruise

[chapie1968]

On our second cruise(our second 4 night on the Dream, my son and I decided to go play Bingo. My wife and daughter hated it the first cruise so my 15 year old son and I waited for the last day and went and played right before dinner. Anyway, my son and I hit the final jackpot by ourselves for about $3500!!!
Basically paid for the cruise!!!

It took a little while to fill out the tax forms and get paid so we made it back to the room late for dinner and my wife started saying we gotta go what took you so long, you knew we have dinner, ect... I told her we won playing Bingo and we had to go collect and she didn't believe us when I told her how much we won until my son whipped out the wad of cash.


We're heading out on our first 7 night cruise in June on the Fantasy, Can't wait!!!!

I'm totally gong to play. Last year on our anniversary we went up to an Indian casino in Oklahoma and I won $100 free play on a slot tournament then took that to the high limit slots and won $2600 lol. I only ever win on our anniversary or my bday (which was 3 weeks ago and I turned $75 free play into $500) anyway our cruise in May is over our anniversary! Lol I would love to win that!

My friend upgraded to the Royal Suite and I upgraded to a 1 bedroom suite. We had the best cruise ever!!! Our kids had a ball swimming in the hot tub. We turned it right down and they used it as their swimming pool.
We also won $$ at Bingo as well on another cruise. We are hooked on Bingo now and play all the time!

NYE this year on Dream with my mom, my sister and her family and my whole family! NEVER have we all been together for NYE.

Loved it so much we booked a NYE cruise on RCCL Independence for this NYE.

Nothing as grand as winning several thousand dollars, but we really appreciated it when the Manager at Palo invited us back for brunch and sent two chocolate soufflés to our room for our sons. Also, spending time in the Vista Spa rainforest alone... all...by...my...self...

I have a son with Aspergers (High Functioning Autism) who really wanted to try the AquaDuck (it was our very first cruise on the Dream). He needs time to get comfortable with new things, ask questions, and we knew he would hesitate at the top before feeling ready to get on. We waited until it seemed to be a quiet time, went to go on it, only to find they were closing it to get ready for something (I think it was the pirate party fireworks). The CM who was on duty asked about and listened to the situation, and was very apologetic. By the time we got back to our stateroom a little while later, there was an invitation for him to come the next morning before the AquaDuck opened to explore. It was amazing, he got the time to get used to the idea, check it out, relax and feel comfortable, and then actually go on and enjoy it! Priceless

These are my three most memorable moments:

Went on the Magic the very first year of service back in '98. Everyone was checking in but no one was getting in-line, this was back before the boarding numbers. I told DW that at a certain time if no one was going to start the line I would. At that time I went to the head of the line, DW had the video running, and you should see the line form, people running from all over the terminal to get in-line. DW and I were the first people introed on that cruise.
Anytime we want a good laugh, we bring up that video.

At CC-SB, DW is on a raft about 20 yards out, I take the camera and start walking out to take her picture. I see all the little fishes scatter, look around and see a 2-3 foot Black Tip Shark swimming around. DW is using her hands to move the raft creating small splashes. The shark turns toward her, I tell DW to stop cause I see a shark. What does DW do? She jumps off the raft causing a bigger splash! I have to run to get between her and the shark.

For our 25th anniversary someone put up decorations on our door announcing our celebration to everyone else onboard. We do not have any idea who did this. We came back from breakfast the second day of a seven day cruise and there they were. What a surprise and a welcome moment.

Donny Osmond was on our Dream cruise in 2011 and did a question and answer session. I got to have my photo taken with him and he was so lovely! He's been my idol since I was 11 and I finally got to meet him at 50!

Sept 2103, my husband and I took a 3 nighter on the Dream (no sons!). Before dinner, on pirate night, we were wondering around and a CM told us the Jack Sparrow was in the DLounge. We walked in and no one was around. While taking pictures, he offered to "throw my husband over board", then then swept me backwards and kissed my check. IT was very cute and quite funny; and all because my husband did not want to have his picture taken with us!

Leisuring in a large porthole and suddenly see dolphins jump around next to the Ship.

I think it was seeing the characters interact with my kids & seeing their excitement.

Watching my DD (6 at the time) become totally mesmerized by the shows, especially Dreams on the Disney Magic. She was totally engrossed in the production and loved every minute of it. She's about to board for her 4th cruise (now 12) and still can't wait to see them. She's not a princess girl, loves her pirates, Avengers and football, but she enjoys every minute of the shows. That's the best thing.

We are fresh off the Fantasy a few weeks ago and we had many special moments and one very magical one! I don't want to give too many details bc I don't want to ruin the magic, but my 3 year old became quite chummy with all if the princesses - especially Tiana. We were given a special invitation which just stated a time and place. Not knowing what to expect, we arrived at the location and found 2 other families there. All of a sudden, music starts playing and in walk Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy, Pluto, and Chip & Dale! We got to dance with them, hang out, and do photos with just my daughter and the full cast, and then also our family with all of the characters. It was amazing

Our first cruise in 2010 was my oldest daughters Make-a-Wish. Everything about it was amazing! That sailing there was 3 Disney Channel stars on board. Roshon Fegan (shake it up), Tiffany Thornton (so random) and Jason Earles (hannah montana).
My Dh and DD were walking thru a hallway when the Pirate Party started. A CM took them to the gazebo and we got to hang out with 2 of the stars in there. It
was lots of fun.
During that party my Dd asked Tiffany to eat dinner with us the next night. She actually did join us for dessert. Awesome memories!

Donny Osmond was on our Dream cruise in 2011 and did a question and answer session. I got to have my photo taken with him and he was so lovely! He's been my idol since I was 11 and I finally got to meet him at 50!

That would have been a dream come true for me too! I had his posters all over my walls in the early 70s For us, the best thing to happen was when my twins were little and we were chosen to be 'family of the week'. Lots of fun surprises.
