It's fine with me, so if everyone else is in agreement I'll add you in. I bought extra stuff just in case, so I'm covered.

We're fine with adding, too. I believe that some groups are making their gifts, though, so I would wait to hear from everyone.

It is more than fine with our family. I just chatted with my sister (hwweber group) and they are fine with it as well. Welcome. What are the ages and members of your family poluwaifam?

 

[Mimismommy]

We're happy to add, as well. At our house, we've been counting down the days.

Another angle that can be taken is one that was employed on our last cruise. We had a late comer to the group, and all but two of our groups were able to accommodate (it wasn't that they were party-poopers - they hand-made their gifts and weren't able to get new ones ready in time). What we ended up doing was inviting the new cabin into the group, with everyone but those two cabins giving FE gifts to the new party, and the new party had the option of giving to all cabins, or all cabins but the two. It seemed to work very well.

We're happy to add another family as well - how many family members and what are the ages of the children?

 

[justhat]

I like that idea, so as soon as I get the info, cabin number and stuff, I'll go ahead and add them to the list and then if it's an issue with anyone already being done with their FE gifts, we can go with them just not participating with that cabin.

 

[mbrowni]

We are ok with it.

 

[Brandy C]

Not a problem at all to add another family.
Woo hoo, almost 3 weeks to go. I can hardly wait.

 

[poluwaifam]

Fabulous! Thank you all so much. We are a family of 3.

Dianna (Mom)
Mike (Dad)

Cabin #6128

Again, will go back through threads to make sure I've captured everything Looking forward to meeting up with everyone.

Aloha!

Sorry everyone - just realized that I was on the wrong board. We are actually sailing on the October 2 cruise. We will be getting off to make room for you Thanks so much for your hospitality. Perhaps we will catch up with y'all on another cruise. Many thanks!

Hello all, we're looking for interested cruisers to occupy seven open seats on our custom Cabo excursion.

We were not satisfied with the DCL options so we took matters into our own hands. We chartered a 15 passenger raft through Cabo San Lucas Tours to do their 5 hour Ultimate Beach Escape tour, which includes a stop at Lovers Beach, sightseeing of popular landmarks, snorkeling in Chileno Bay, and time at Medano Beach.

The times of the listed tour do not work with our DCL port times so we chartered a boat that will work for us. Our family of four and another family of four are already occupying 8 of the 15 seats. We have space for 7 more.

The price works out to $50 per person regardless of age. Here are their restrictions: Ages 5+. 250 lb maximum weight limit per person

Post a message to me if you are interested.

Helloooooo Everyone!

I am very excited to post that DH and I are cruising on this sailing, as of this morning!

We LOVE the Wonder and are looking forward to seven days of enjoying everything onboard! We are not sure we are even going to get off the ship given the current situation in Mexico, but are just THRILLED to be going back onboard the Wonder.

It is just me and DH, two big kids at heart. We are celebrating our wedding anniversary, which lands during the cruise (13 years, wow!). Just wanted to say hi and introduce ourselves!

Woohoo!

[Disney Dreams]

Wow, this is a quiet meet thread. Hope I didn't scare everyone away. Anyone out there?

So excited, just was hoping to connect with others.

Welcome Dreams,

It is relatively a quite forum but if everyone is like us we are very excited as well! How did you come across the reservations so late? Price? Schedule?

It will be myself, DW, DD-12 and DD-8. This will be our fourth DCL since 2007 and our second to Mexico with DCL. We are definitely not going becuz of Mexico.

We are looking forward to this vacation REALLY bad!

As funny as this may seem we are also from HI but we are sure we are sailing on the 9th. My DW always wanted to try FE and noticed the original post by poluwaifam and thought it was too late for us. We would gladly take their place if you folks don't mind.

To "sweeten" the offer we will bring some chocolate mac nuts to each room including our regular surprise from HI!

Hi Slowly!

Thanks for the welcome!

We sailed on the Wonder in May for the second time and just loved it, even moreso that the first time. The ship. The cast and crew. Fellow cruisers. Every bit of it. So, we have been trying every possible way to return to sail again - despite current life issues (which make us want to be on the ship even MORE!). Finally, we just decided to go for it and that the details will all work themselves out. So... we booked. Sometimes, you just have to go for it!

I would love to join the Fish Extender happening on here. Is one person in charge of it? I wonder if I could still join in.

As for Mexico, it will be our second Mexican cruise (1st time to Mexico with DCL) and we are not even sure if we are going to get off the ship. We just want to spend another week on the Wonder.

Oh and may I just say: Chocolate Mac. Nuts... yummy! Any plans to check out the new Aulani Resort in HI?

Thanks again for the nice welcome,
Dreams

Welcome slowly and dreams!!! The board tends to be busy for a few days and then quiet for a few days. That has been the pattern for awhile now. Our family is counting down the days and are very excited. My wife and I have cruised other lines before, but this will be our first DSL cruise and also the first time we have taken our daughters. Its should be a blast.

Slowly - Our family would be fine adding you to the FE. We went out and purchased additional items last week as we thought poluwaifam would be joining our group. Since, they were on the wrong board, we have extra items now.

Hi Dreams

We were able to go to Aulani during Labor Day weekend and it was simply fabulous!

Yes on the FE from me too. I can make the changes later if it's okay.
