I'm a little concerned.
Does everybody received their boarding documents already?????

We haven't and if my memory doesn't fail me, by this date in January we already had our documents. And we have only received the final receipt.

I found our old Disboard buttons that I received on a previous Disboard meet a long time ago.

We had received our earlier in the week. On our last cruise we were able to track them through UPS. I am drawing a blank on where I got the tracking number, though. DCL could probably provide you with the tracking number if you are worried.

I was able to track mine by using the reservation number as the tracking number along with my zip code on the UPS tracking website.

About 2 weeks before your cruise follow this UPS link.

In the shipping reference put your cruise confirmation #. In the zip code put your zip or if you used a travel agent put their zip.

This will track your documents. It will give you up to date delivery information. If you used a travel agent it will be sent to them and they will have to get it to you. Most of the stuff that is in the pack you can do online ahead of time now.

Just have a question regarding the FE's.. Are the items going to be safe to be left in there?? Just wanted to make sure because I havent done this before and I certainly dont want something to go missing before the recipient gets a chance to get it..

 

[mayraguma]

I think it should be fine, on January, I saw some FE full and some people left stuff in the floor.
So it's just trusting and hoping that no one gets curious and pick up something that is not theirs..

As long as there aren't any chocolates in your gifts everyone's will be safe from meDoes anyone have any ideas on how to identify each other at the meet? Maybe we could all wear leis? Any suggestion? Seriously all the FE gifts will be fine!!! Has anyone started packing yet?

Glad to hear about the FE.. I will definitely leave them then.. I was afraid someone might grab them..

I think me and DH will have on some leis.. I dont think we have anything green.. I'll have to see what I can find..

We are almost packed... We leave Thursday around 3 as soon as I get off work..

 

[Retroloco]

Ok. We may do leis also. Betty, I hope you guys have so much fun on your cruise. Is it Carnival you're cruising on?

Hello Everyone...We just booked last week..myself..husband and our 12yo daughter...we are so very excited!!!!

We would love to join in the fun and meet up with all of you. I am new to Disboards...and have been searching for others on this cruise all week. I'm so glad I finally did. This is our 2nd Disney cruise...we had done a 3 day about 3 years ago. It was not enough time on such a beautiful ship.

In Nassau, I booked Comfort Suites, right next door to the Atlantis, which you are able to use all the amenities at the Atlantis. I got a AAA rate of $140...but with taxes and fees will be about $180. I am very excited to go to the Atlantis we have never been there before.

Hope to be talking to everyone over the next 2 weeks. Leanne

Welcome, Leanne and family!!! Atlantis sounds like fun. I know we have already closed our FE exchange, but if you want to post or pm me your room number I have a few extra goodies that may make their way to your cabin

Yes.. we are going on Carnival Glory.. Eastern Caribbean.. We've mainly done Western itenerary, except last year we did do Eastern, so this is ony our second time.. So excited because we decided to do a balcony room on the Carnival cruise..

Welcome Jason, Cathy, Sydney and Jordan!! Never too late!!

 

[brennansdisney]

Thank so much for the warm welcome....so excited for the trip!

I think our cabin is 2074....that's what it on the DCL web..but I guess that could change because we booked a guarantee.

Also welcome aboard Floridarogers....we also just booked recently. Great to hear you have a 12yo daughter. Our daughter
is 12 and I want her to meet kids early and have a great time.
I went online to DCL and registered her for the castaway club. I think we will check it out early on boarding day.

I think I have some lime green ribbon to put on our carry-on's.

See you guys real soon!!!!! Leanne ps...love those little guys on the right

I don't know the rest of you guys, but I wouldn't mind adding to the FE the 2 new families that just joined us.

Please don't be mad at me for posting, I am just suggesting it.

Either way, if you can PM me with your rooms #, I would me more than happy to add you to my FE list.

 

[floridarogers]

Leanne - your daughter will definitely make new friends quickly. When we went three years ago I think my daughter made 3 the first day and then they tried to coordinate times when they'd meet (since she didn't stay in the club all day). I had been doing some research and we were thinking about doing the Comfort Suites thing in Nassau as well. We don't have AAA, but its only $20 more without it...still WAAAAY cheaper than the DCL excursion price even with taxi and lunch added. I've got DW checking out the Atlantis website now to see if we want to spring for it or just enjoy the ship that day.

mayraguma - What is the fish exchange (FE) I keep reading about? Is it a DIS thing? Do I need to prepare somehow? Anything to make the cruise unique for the kids would be cool. I know I have a couple of other surprises planned for them including some door decorations I'm working on (which I didn't know about last cruise!)

The kids are WAY excited. Today was the first day of school for the kids but after they got done telling me about their day, I still got a "we can't wait for the cruise"

I am willing to add them to my list. I intentionally have a few extra gifts just for that reason, but I do know we set a deadline so that people would have a final count at an earlier date. I don't want anyone to feel that they have to.
