Happy Thanksgiving Everyone.......We are planning B2B DREAM July 29 & Aug. 2. Since our DS will be starting college in the Fall od 2011, I hope we can still pull this off. We've very excited about this trip.

A week and a year to go before my Alaska cruise.

Wow!!!! You guys are both sailing "new" things next year. Can't wait to hear how the trips go.

We are about three weeks from our Wonder cruise and a visit to WDW.

How about this hot summer weather we've been having here on the East coast. Holy cow....last month I was driving around and the outside temperature was 109 degrees!!!! I know its going to be cooler on Castaway Cay than its been in NJ this summer.

Will say hello to frankie......boy, am I jealous of everyone doing the B2B's in 2011.

Sadly, no DCL cruise for us in 2011....too many conflicts with high school sports that summer.

My lawn looks horrible with the heat - but my veggie garden is doing great!

 

[caitlinsdad]

Sadly I had to pospone our 2011 cruise

But now On the Aug 6,2012 Alaska cruise leaving from Seattle.

Would make a great reunion cruise, come aboard.

Hi everyone

Hi Ed!

We just booked the May 25th, 2012 8-night Bahamas cruise out of NYC. It'll be our first DCL cruise since this (2006) cruise! We've been on Royal Caribbean since then, and have gone to WDW, but I really am looking forward to being back on the Magic!

Hope all is well with everyone.

Sadly, Hazel and I won't be cruising again until after we get Angelina and Bryan married off in May 2012. The kids are going on the May 26th sailing of the DCL Fantasy to the Western Caribbean for their honeymoon and they won't let Hazel and I join them on that cruise..........

And to think I let them join Hazel and me on my 55th birthday cruise last year, the nerve of those two kids...........

Yes, the nerve of them!!

We still have 2 years left of kids college payments and we weren't going to go on any cruises until after that, but when they announced that the Magic was coming to NJ...well.... couldn't resist.

I plan on making payments on this cruise each time I get paid...and hopefully it'll be somewhat painless to pay it off that way. Also, with the itinerary for the Bahamas cruise, it won't be excursion-extensive. Castaway Cay is basically all-included; Port Canaveral includes a park hopper ticket and transportation for WDW; and then the day we're in Nassau we may either just stay on the ship, or find a beach to go to. The other 4 days are "at sea" and we're content to relax at the Quiet Cove pool...

I looked at the NY cruise, but one day at WDW is never enough for us, that and I have a week of passes(x 3) still waiting to be used.

Andy, yes the nerve of them (lol)
Not really happy with my 2012 choice as the port time is not as long as this year, but I still want a taste of Alaska on disney

still planning alaska on disney in 2012, but not happy with the port times. If 2013 is better I'm gone.

Hope all is well.

Hi Ed, how are you?? Great to hear from you

I cant believe this thread is still going, must be one of the longest (in years) cruise threads out there.

 

[Verandah Man]

Hi Ed & Sue,

Still no cruising plans for us in sight, at least not in the near future.

However, I am loving not having to get up and go to work every morning!!!

Take Care Friends!!!
