Hi Jen,
I am sorry to say my husband is going to be laid off soon, he works in the housing industry which is really going through hard times here in Florida. So we dont feel it would be wise to spend the money to go on this cruise, under the circumstances.

I wish for your husband and daughter a Magical cruise.

If you keep this thread bumped up I'm sure someone else who booked this cruise will join you.

Wish we were coming too, but it just wouldnt be wise at this time, financially,


Kathy

OMG.... I'm so sorry to hear of your news. I hope it works out for your husband.

I will try to keep the thread going. It will not be the same without you...keep checking in to say hi...

I read your trip report...love the photos. My DH and DD decided to fly in early now and stay at the same hotel by the port. Our next trip to WDW is real soon...we celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary at the happiest place on earth...

Keep in touch...
Have a great holiday
Jen

Hi Jen,
we did have a very nice Christmas. We had both sons here which was nice and we called our daughters and grandkids and moms too.
I have tons of food leftover and need to do something with them.

3 day cruises are hard to find people sometimes. we have done a few where people posted the last 2 weeks before the cruise, so we got a little aquainted
but we still had a quick meet on board which was fun.

I will help you keep this bumped up so hopefully someone will connect with you and I am looking on other boards to find people too. I didnt delete my threads there for this cruise, that way if someone posts there I will refer them to you here.

We are actually going to be col over new years here in Florida. high in the low 50's and low 32. BRrrrrr!!!
But it sounds good to me. I am tired of all the heat.

take care and I will be in touch,

Kathy

Hi Jen,

[Jen Filling]

Hi,

Thank you so much for helping me keep the thread up.

I hope you have a wonderful New Year's...

Yeah, it is just a tad bit colder here...lol

Maybe they will meet up with some fellow cruisers at the hotel the night before...

talk to you soon

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

we will just keep bumping this and hopefully someone will join in for you guys.
But people are so friendly that they will make friends, probably at dinner for sure. but in the clubs the kids all get aquainted pretty easy too.

We had a great new years. just stayed home and watched movies all evening.
The dogs went crazy with all the fireworks, but we managed.

Today was cold and tomarrow morning is going to be 21 degrees and we may even get snow flurries on the coast in the early hours. wish I was there to see that.
They said this is the coldest we have been in 6 years. BRRRRR!!!

but in a way I am looking forward to it, I am tired of 85 degree weather.

catch ya later Jen,

Kathy

Hi Jen,
well we offically cancelled this cruise due to my DH getting laid off soon. Good news is after getting our refund for what we had paid into this cruise , of course it wasnt paid off or we would of still done it, Greg found another 3 day cruise in january with a florida resident rate and we got an inside stateroom for less than we got refunded. we had enough left to pay for parking and room host tip.

we will eat fast foods so we wont have to worry about tips for waiters and just walk around Nassau on our own. we have been so many times before anyway.

bottom line is we still get 3 day cruise without spending a dime extra.

Just sorry it wasnt this one,

kathy

Jen,

Don't despair! My DH and our 2 girls and I are heading out on the Wonder on 3/20/08. This is their 1st cruise, and my 2nd (but we are all new to DCL) and we are so excited. Well, DH not so much. LOL!

In any case, I am just getting into the groove of really planning this trip. we booked a year ago, and final is due tomorrow (thank goodness for the agent!) so I am finally starting to get some planning under my belt.

We are coming from Houston, by air, via DCL, so I hope that whole flight-airport-transfer-boarding thing goes well. I am mostly worried about getting on board so late that we have to scurry to hit the sail party.

What have I missed on this thread?

hi Lisa,

I am the original OP of this thread. We just had to cancel last week.

I am so happy to see Jen's DH and son will have someone aboard to get aquainted with. I feel so much better knowing that there are 2 of you now to chat about the cruise.

I sure wish we were still coming along with you guys.

Tell Mickey hello for me and both of you have a magical cruise!!


I know you guys are both new to DCL so if you have any questions, please ask and i will be happy to answer them if I can even though I cant come along with you guys.
I will be lurking here so I will see any questions you may post,


Kathy

Thanks for replying! I saw in an earlier post that you had to cancel this sailing, but hopefully you will be sailing the DCL again soon.

I will ask this question... I had my TA book the dolphin encounter in Nassau because we thought that one might sell out, but what about stuff on CC? Specifically bicycles or sea kayaks/water trikes and the like? Is it really necessary to book those in advance?

Do either of you have any idea whether this sailing will be sold out? Is there a way we can find out?
