[DVC Mary]

Count us in! Congrats on the wedding!

It will be me (43), DH (45), DS (15), DS (12) and it will be our 5th cruise. Youngest DS dying to ride Aquaduck.

 

[Sccrmnky2005]

Thanks!! we are very excited!!

wooo hooo, I'm glad there are more joining us

Do you know if they do anything special for July 4th??

We've never cruise during a holiday... we've been on three Disney wonder cruises so far

 

[DVC Mary]

We're in St.Thomas (a U.S. Territory) on the 4th, so let's hope for something. Maybe special patriotic fireworks that night???

I posted a ? about this on the main forum, hopefully some experienced cruisers might know.

This will be our 5th cruise. Next year is Alaska!! We've done the Eastern 3 times & loved it so much we're going to do it again.

 

[DVC Mary]

Ok, I did a quick forum search & found a variety of 4th experiences:

One poster said they had a champage toast w/ the date engraved & got to keep the glasses, but nothing else.

One poster said NOTHING. Another poster said they were told the boat wasn't far enough from land to do fireworks, but had a balloon drop in the atrium w/ characters dressed for the occasion.

Let's hope for something similar to this:

"Yes, we sailed on the 4th of July one year. They set the pirate party for the same night so they could do the fireworks on July 4th. We were able to keep a copy of the menu from the restaurant we ate at that night. On the back was Mickey holding the American flag, fireworks behind and the Disney Cruise Line banner with another banner saying 4th of July. I also seem to remember parts of the ship decorated for the occasion. Otherwise, pretty normal."

Thanks!! This will also be our 5th cruise also

We've been on 3, 4 night sailings on the wonder. Last cruise was March 2010 and we got engaged on that sailing

We love DCL so much and knew that we wanted to spend out honeymoon with them, as we've always wanted to do both western and eastern and figured this is the only time right now that we can splurge and do a B2B! So we are very excited...

Well let's hope they will do something for fourth of July

This will be our 5th cruise. Next year is Alaska!! We've done the Eastern 3 times & loved it so much we're going to do it again.

OOOOH, you've done the Eastern 3 times!!! Hope you don't mind me asking lots of questions!!! Just looking at some of the excursions has my mind whirring with questions. But there's enough time for that!

We've done 2 cruises. First was a 3 night that we couldn't dock at CC. So we made up for it on the next one by doing a double dip Western cruise. LOVED CC so much!!!

this cruise is going to be very special for us. About a month ago, I ended up in the hospital with blood clots in the lungs and a clot in my arm that required emergency surgery. I ended up in the ICU on the ventilator and almost died. This is going to be a celebration cruise for us. So glad I am still here!!

BUT, I am not out of the woods yet, I have a hole in my heart that we are going to close in January. Originally DH said not to schedule the cruise till after the procedure, but I managed to convince him that financially it would be best because prices will only continue to go up.

I hope you all will help me with something else... I have alot of weight to loose, and starting tomorrow I am going to get started and get this weight off once and for all. The health scare and cruise are big incentives for me. Help keep me on track!

 

[IrishCowboy]

I have added your thread to the cruise meet list

 

[DisneyMom70]

We'll be on the cruise with you all. Myself, DH, DD (6), DS (3) and my MIL and FIL as well. This will be our first Disney cruise, and in fact, first cruise ever. We are so excited as this has been in the works for over 2 years. We were also wondering about the 4th and if they would do anything special. Either way, can't wait.
We will be combining this with A WDW trip, but not sure if it will be before or after the cruise. Since we live in CA, we are trying to do it all.

 

[TNShellBelle]

We will be on this cruise also. Me, dh, dd(6) and ds(4). This will be our 5th Disney Cruise and second Eastern but first time to St. Thomas. My parents will also be on this cruise and my dad should be checking in on this board as well.

Yay!! Another B2B with the same sailings

 

[goingsouth]

Yay!! Another B2B with the same sailings

It's our 1st back to back- pretty exciting! Not as exciting as getting married at WDW and then taking a back to back--but pretty close!!
What a perfect way to start your life together.
Isn't the carnival on St. John on/near the 4th of July? If so, that would mean fireworks!

I am hoping that we (DH and DS (13 then)) will be on this cruise. My DH isn't ready to begin planning for another cruise but my DS and I are putting our pennies in our piggy banks to save up. And, I am always ready to plan a cruise as that is half the fun of the vacation. Anyway, I see a few of you have already done the Eastern Caribbean and I am trying to decide if we should get an Oceanview or a balcony room. We went to Alaska before and loved the balcony because there was so much to see. When we did our four day Disney trip we only stepped on the balcony when we pulled into port. Any thoughts. That would save us a lot of money but if it is worth it then we would defintely like to have a balcony. We will be celebrating on 17th Wedding anniversary on the 1st of July so I loved the idea of this cruise as it was traveling both on our anniversary and on the 4th of July.

DVC Mary if we go our DSs should be in the club together.

It's our first B2B also!!!

I tried to talk DF into doing a B2B on the Dream, and since were saving for the wedding (as DF won't do anything on credit cards and want to have the wedding paid off before we get married) it probably won't happen unless we get lucky and the FL resident rates are just too good to pass up

What does that mean?? The carnival (a real carnival right??) will also have fireworks?? Thanks lol

 

[Alan_BLT_2009]

We booked our rooms on the 20th. This will be our first Disney cruise.
