So, will info be discussed here or only on Facebook? I don't really use that and my husband said there was a FE group already started and so on...

I have been lurking over on this year's EBPC. They only have 3 weeks until they sail. I feel as their cruise comes to an end it will make ours seem closer!
Then we will have to start getting organized
They have privates tastings, group Palo brunches, and other fun activities planned.

Even with our cruise being over a year away, I am so excited for this cruise. My friends think I am a little crazy to plan things out so far.

Hello all of you ebpc cruisers. I am on the wbpc in may before yours. I would like to make a request of your group to please email dcl and request that more excursions be added to Cartagena. This has been a big complaint among our group. I feel if we have enough people ask for some additional excursions be added to that port we may get some results. I would appreciate if someone would share with your Facebook group also. Thanks.

Welcome

This year's EBPC is leaving on Friday. I am looking forward to reports from their trip!

Our cruise is getting closer.

Everyone have a WONDERful day!!

Is anyone really excited about the start of Autumn/Fall? Its my fave season but its even better this year as it means its almost only 1 yr away

I posted on this year's EBPC page to ask if anyone is doing live reports or blogs and if anyone plans to do a trip report after. I'll report back if I get a response.

I did see that they are having two formal nights and no semi-formal nights (for now anyway), plus pirate night, of course!

I'm not actually that big on port days, but I'm kinda glad that I'm not on this crossing!

People are going to be grouchy about missing out on two port days!

I just moved my 5 night Magic May 2015 to this cruise. Still apprehensive but since DH needed an accessible cabin, I decided I'd better grab one before they are all gone. I tried the west bound PC and there were no HC cabins available for the 2015 sailing. We are DCL veterans and love DCL. We had sailed the Panama Canal on Princess (San Juan to Alcapulco) Regal Princess 1998 many years ago.
2 Adults, no kids

For those of you who haven't been on the Wonder before (or not since her pre-Alaska dry-dock), check out the photos on this thread for the reason she is my favorite ship. OUTLOOK & COVE CAFE!!!

In 2013 we sailed on the Wonder to Alaska. On Tracy Arm day DH stayed in the Outlook Café most of the time I was out on deck looking at the glacier. We love Outlook and Cove Café.

Hi thinking of booking this cruise and I'm wondering how much prices have increased since opening day.
Cat 9d 2a 2c is $6835.12
Cat 9c 2a2c is $6975.12
Anyone remember what opening day prices were for these?
Also is this too long for first time cruises?
We currently have the 5 night baja cruise booked for oct 4th next year not sure wether to do this instead of both with Disneyland and la trips in between. We are coming from Australia so if we did both it would make it a 6 week trips all up kids aged 5 and 8 is that too long?
Also if we did both cruises does that mean for this one wed be castaway club members and get the free gifts?
Is there enough to do on the sea days?
And can we fly out of Galveston back to San Diego? Or put of Houston?
Thankyou for your help sorry fit all the questions

Welcome aboard! I looked back at the opening rates listed here on Disboards... Only a 9a listed 2A1c $6030 no insurance or transfers, a 10a with 2A $4524 with no insurance or transfers. If you did both cruises you would be Castaway Club members on the second cruise. My children would have loved to have gone on a another cruise so soon after the first! There are less than 300 children on the longer cruises, usually there are 1000+ children. From what I have read the kids love the extra attention they get from the cast members and they make friendships with the other kids. There are lots of activities(games. Character meets, shows, kids' clubs, etc) scheduled every day on the cruise. Look at some Navigators(daily schedule of activities). You will fly out of Houston, not Galveston. Also search Trip reports from the Panama Canal cruises.

Hello! I don't know if this will be of help with prices, but we are in a 9b (2 adults, 2 kids, ages 4 and 1) and our price was $6,062 on opening day for Silver Castaway. That was with 10% off for OBB. I don't think prices have changed much (if at all) based on the quotes you list for the ages of your kids. Sounds like a great adventure for your family-I would take a 6 week vacation in nearly any form!

Im So excited This Will be mine (tiffany 27) and My Boyfriend (Chris's 27) first time on A DISNEY CRUISE. Im so excited. I'm also keeping it a secret from my Boyfriend all he knows is that he will be gone for 14 days and he needs a passport but it is super hard to keep this secret from him. He and I will be Celebrating 5 Magical Years of Dating. I had a question for those who have been on a Disney Cruise before is the Photo Package Worth it? Im HUGE into photography but im always the one behind the camera. Anyways I heard they were going to do mask painting, pumpkin carving, ghost stories and costume parties for kids and adults. As well as trick or treating for the kids.
But Im trying to make this vacation epic, since this is our first vacation with out being or going to see family members, Does anyone have any more suggestions for me? i could use the help. We both really love Disney.
