I know what you mean! Our first cruise was a KSF verandah room & now we won't do anything else. I thought about trying another room but don't want to get hooked on another type of room. I booked one of the secret rooms (used to be a 5 but because of the obstruction its now a 7). I was very glad it was available for the second leg.
I've read that the CM will move your luggage for you, you just have to have it packed.

I am sure i won 't do a B2B without the same room again, but i will try it this way for now. packing between cruises will still be quick because i won't really "pack" but throw things together just to close the suitcases!

Hello Everyone. We just got back home from our wonderful Western Caribbean cruise on the Fantasy along with a couple days at Disney. My wife and I have two DS ages 15 and 12. We had a great time and are looking forward to getting on the Dream for the first time! We are also once again Dragging my in-laws and our friends that also have two kids and just cruised with us. I saw that there didn't seem to be a facebook page for this cruise so I created one. This past cruise there was one for the Adults and one for the Kids. It worked out great as it gave everyone a chance to get to know everyone. Here is the page for it.

Hey Guys. We decided to Jump over to the Magic that is sailing on the 21st with the same itinerary. It was cheaper and we had been on it a couple of times and wanted to see the new changes they were making. Check out the Facebook page for your cruise. You will have a great time on it and here leading up to the cruise and make so many friends. We did on this past April cruise on the Fantasy. I also put a list of Tips/things to know in the Files section of the Facebook Page for anyone to check out and edit or comment if there is something to add. Have a great cruise everyone!!!

I seriously cannot stop talking about/looking up stuff/planning things for the cruise!!! Only 347 days to go!!

In a separate note, I know people have different opinions, but are passports required?? We have them (besides Ava) so I think we are going to get her one anyway, but wanted to get opinions from other cruisers. I thought they were mandatory, but I've read differently and a friend who is going with said she was told you could have your birth certificate.

You can go with just a birth certificate but our TA strongly suggested at least passport cards. If something was to happen & you had to stay in a port, it will be much easier to get home. Even our son has a passport card.

Thanks for the input! I'm definitely going to get her one, especially because we want to book another cruise while on the ship, so I'd rather have it then have to incur that expense later on!

Less than a year to go!! How is everyone doing with their planning?
I officially ditched my plans to do a pre cruise WDW trip. I don't think I could swing the money AND tolerate those Easter crowds!
I just booked three nights at the Cape Canaveral Residence Inn. I'll work on my pre cruise tan on the beach.

Soooo exciting!!! I'm constantly on here or etsy trying to think of different things to have made/buy.

I think we are going to skip our post cruise WDW plans too. It's going to be so crowded. We may go back in September if possible.

We are flying in Saturday at some point, so maybe we'll make it early in the day so we can spend the day doing something fun!

This waiting is really killing me! Just had to stop myself from booking a cruise for this summer.Even looked at *gasp* other cruise lines! Settled on a few days at the Jersey Shore.
How is everyone else doing?

LOL no worries, this move is because we wanted to move it. Not because we needed to. Thanks!

I couldn't agree more!! We have a few trips planned this summer to surrounding states, but its no disney cruise!! I'm on this board at least once a day, YouTube all the time showing my son or nieces something and looking on etsy to order stuff!!

Only 311 days to go!! (310 really because we are leaving the day before)

We are going to the beach next month and San Francisco in August. And then DD and I are going to MNSSHP in September. I think I planned so much this year to keep my mind off how far off our cruise is!

I wouldn't worry about it. I think more will sign up toward the end of the year. If not, bigger gifts!
