Hi everyone!

We booked this cruise last July (after our wonderful cruise to Alaska on the Disney Wonder). Just slow to join the post...sorry!

We participated in the FE for the first time on our Alaskan cruise and would love to join in on this one.

We are from Connecticut and here is our cruise info:

Cabin# 7069 --one adult and one 12-year-old boy
Cabin # 7071 -- two adults

Looking forward to exploring the new ship and the fun and sun at Castaway Cay!

Thanks!

The PIF date is fast approaching, so we will definately be joining this cruise. Can we still add our names to the FE? Myself, wife, and two daughters (Age 9 and 3) Are you going to include cabin numbers so its easier to find everyone. Or we can aimlessly wander about the ship, which is not necessarily a bad thing. We are in 6538.

OOPS... MY BAD! Forgot to scroll to Page 1 (after only having 1 page for so long, we finally have TWO!)

I also messed up the numbers for cshaw... updating now!

Forgive me... it's late...

(Oh this looks prettier than my last methods... I wish DIS would allow screen capturing... but this works ok!)

Please keep me honest if I misrepresented any of the information!

Sorry to say I'm leaving this meet thread as we have switched our cruise to the eastern fantasy leaving the next day. They are offering the igt ogt and vgt rates for the 7/28 and 7/21 sailings. the adult rates for the ogt were only $35 more per person than what we were going to pay for 5 nights on the dream, the kids were $250 more each one and I've got 3 but for 7 of us, cause grandma and grandpa are going, the extra $800 for two extra nights was a no brainer. You might want to look into if you wanted to sail on the fantasy but couldn't because it was too expensive. Happy sailing to you all, you are going to enjoy the dream she is beautiful, just got off her on Sunday and was sad to leave.

Thank you so much for putting together the spreadsheet, cctimmom, that is awesome! I do not know our cabin number yet, as we are in a GTY room, but as soon as I know, I will share it here!

 

[cctimmom]

no problem!

I'll keep updating as time goes on. Funny how we are 5 1/2 months away and our roll call is still so quiet.

Not sure if that means that we have a quite ship or if there just aren't that many DISers on our sailing.

First time Disney cruise and forum newbie!!! I'm so glad to find people who is also going to be on same boat as my family. I'll admit, I alone are not a diehard Disney fan but my nephews are. Please don't kill me!!!

There will be 7 (5 adults) of us, nephew age 9 and age 13 (turning 14th in August) will be with us. 3 of us are flying down from New York, the other are in Jacksonville, FL. We sandwiched the trip between nephew and my mom birthday (mid july). I'm really excited about the trip, I'm the organizer for family.

Going to learn as much about this cruise as possible and like to be part of FE (Fish extender-yes, took me few googling to figure it out)

 

[cctimmom]

Welcome Aboard! So glad to have a new family to add to our roll call!

Here's where we stand as of today:

 

[pjc4925]

Anyone booking excursions yet?

 

[cctimmom]

We haven't made final payment yet so not yet for us. We are still up in the air about what we want to do for excursions. We might do a dolphin swim at Blue Lagoon in Nassau (we did the sea lions last October). Castaway Cay, we'll probably just be lounge lizards.

Any other cool ideas?

 

[pjc4925]

We did the blue lagoon dolphin swim once before. It was a blast. They let you spend an hour or two on their own beach area which was pretty relaxing.


Anyone doing the Atlantis water park?

 

[Nola Girl]

I have tried to join this group so many times! These boards give me so much trouble!

My family of 7 will be in 2 cabins on this cruise. We will be celebrating DD's 21st bday! She turns 21 on the 28th! She is a Disney seasonal CM and LOVES everything Disney! We will have Me, DH, DD-21, her Boyfriend(DB)-21, DS-17, my mom, and my nephew-8. We have 2 cabins on Deck 6. I am unsure of cabin number.

This is our 5th Disney cruise (except DB and DN-it is their first). I have never joined the FE group. I will explain it to my nephew and see if it is something he wants to do.

I am going to pay in full in the next week or so, getting very excited!!

We can't decide. We did Atlantis 3 summers ago and a terrible thunderstorm hit and they closed all the water rides. It was oodles of fun until then though. DD and DB want to swim with the dolphins. It it sooo expensive at Atlantis!!

 

[cctimmom]

Welcome Lisa!!!!!!!!

So glad to have a little more activity on here! You bring us up to 7 families on our roll call (I've never seen a roll call this "light").

 

[cctimmom]

 

[jacquieone]

No excursions booked for us either. We will be PIF right around the 75 day mark. I hope to score Palo in some way, shape, or form. My hubby and I are basically interested in relaxing and the food.

Getting excited about the FE!! I have been putting my thinking cap on, and getting some stuff ready. Can't wait!

I did some digging and found out that the NCL Sky and the Oasis of the Seas will be with us in Nassau on Sunday the 29th. This information is making me rethink Atlantis for sure!
