Would Love to...but doubt that we will take advantage of it. Maybe if it wouldn't take so long to get there.....2 hours to drive to airport then another 3 1/2 hour flight....
It would be great fun though!!!!! Would love to spend another day at
Cast A Way Cay!!!!!!!

Hope everyone is doing well!!!!

We got in on 08/13/09. Looking forward to another cruise, and another go around at Castaway Cay!

Sometime we want to try for December... to see the ship decorated for Christmas!

We're thinking about it. But it also depends on getting there/back - if airfares are the same as if we were to go for a week, it doesn't make sense to go for just 3 days.

Thanks for the reminder to take a look at it again!!!!!!

We will not be taking advantage of the BB offer.
We are going to try to replenish the "holiday account" and do another 7 day in 2011, hopefully on the new ships on a Western itinerary that time!
Airfare costs, our dollar being quite low, and lack of holiday time are the other factors as well.
Wish we were though!! We too would love to see the ship all decked out for the holidays!
Have fun whoever is going!!

I hate to burst your bubble, but rthe new ship will be doing the 3/4 night cruises. Not to say you could not book back to back cruises to go give you your week on the ship. Just with DCL moving the Wonder to it's new home here in Los Angeles and given the fact the they make the most money on the 3/4 night route, it does not make sence for them to put the new ship ( Which will hold something like 4000 passengers) on a 7 night route when it first comes out.

Wanda - we too want to cruise a new ship in 2011, and are still hopeful- despite what the speculation is - that the new ship will take the 7-day itineraries. I know there's a lot of chatter on the main boards about how much more profitable it will be for the new ship to do the shorter cruises, but my understanding is that, other than the Wonder definitely going to LA, the intinerary decisions have not yet been finalized.

2011 is a long way away - and no one can predict what the economy will look like by then, or what Disney will decide to do. All I can do is hope and "DREAM" that the new ship will sail when and where I want it to. If not, I'll just make alternate plans.

Perhaps we'll see you then!!!!!!

 

[DMMarla07860]

My dad and I might be going next march on a western for my birthday, maybe I'll talk him into a back-2-back again lol. Other then that 3 day December 10th to see the ship decorated for holidays can't wait for that

Lady Story...... I just think it is funny that so many people know more than DCL about the new ship..... The new ship can take 7 days and The Magic taking over the 3/4/special 5........ You are a glorious smart Mama....

 

[Johnna_Story]

You are a glorious smart Mama....

Aw shucks. Glorious AND smart?

Come to think of it... yeah - you're absolutely right!!!! But you forgot humble.


Love my friends!

Hi Kids,

Hope everyone is well... I just got my laptop back which had all my log-ins and stuff for various boards to I thought I'd stop by to say HI!

I just got off the phone with my friend Karl... he told me some secrets about the new itineraries for the new ships. Seems like some of you will get your wish. That's all I can say at the moment.

Well, since I'm at it, might as well get you to hate me a little bit more... we're leaving on another 14 night cruise in 2 weeks. This time with Celebrity through the Baltic... with overnights in both St Petersburg and Copenhagen. We have enjoyed our previous Celebrity cruises so we're looking forward to it! It will be Michael's 40th birthday...so gotta celebrate!

What's new with you all?

Okay Dave! I'll bite... Which "some of you's" will get their wish???

ENJOY your upcoming cruise... AND

HAPPY 40th MICHAEL!

Hola Party People!!

Hope everyone is doing good!
I thought I'd stop in and say HELLO!

I just got my computer back about a week ago I think. I forget what day it was.
When I got home from the cruise I went to upload my pictures and realized that my computer was acting stupid. My dumb sister was downloading music and decided to download a virus too. I had to check Facebook from my phone the whole time.
I barely got to upload some of my cruise pics onto Facebook recently. I still have a BUNCH more to upload but I've been too tired!
I really wanna go back on vacation. I'm kinda glad one if the Disney ships is gonna be over here though! Especially with flights being as expensive as they are, it'd be great to get back on a Disney ship without having to fly anywhere.
Artie Da One Man Party is hoping to do the BB in December cause he wants to get back to the Caribbean, but we'll see how that goes with the new baby being here and all.

OH! I found out I'm having another girl! YAY! I'm gonna have another Disney Princess in my family!
My poor hubby is surrounded by females. Even my doggie is a girl! HA!

I hope it's warming up for all you with snow! It's supposed to be in the 90's this weekend.
I'd love to go to the beach but my hubby said after seeing Trunk Bay in St. John, he doesn't EVER want to go to another beach over here again.

Well, gotta get back to work!
Have a great weekend guys!!

Been a while since I been on the boards, but I think that I am at the point that I am re-acclimated to work and hating it. So here are some of the wonderful memories of spending the week with all of you.

• All the time we got to spend with the Jessens.
• Meeting David and Michael - and liking Michael a whole lot more because Dave has continued to torture me via Facebook
• The fantastic brunch that we started the cruise with
• The Deutschland scarf that I "stole" during brunch that is now in my office
• The amazing weather we had - no a drop of rain
• Thanks to Emily and Kaylee, having the chance to really explore the Disney Magic nightlife
• Having the opportunity to say "hi" during the week to so many people that I had met the first day
• The beautiful sunsets.
• Ordering room service for breakfast.
• Giving away a bottle of $40 bourbon to our server and then hearing that there was a party the next day below deck and it was "all gone."
• Seeing the excitement and wonder in my children's eyes
• Two words: Cove Cafe.
• Watching the Pirate Party ("pirates" are not so funny now) with many of you
• The highly competitive "Potato Races." And the fact that the Jessens cheated.
• Having Emily call me a "loser" about 1,000 times.
• REBOOKING and knowing that I will get to see many of you again.

I miss all of you very much.

Dave,

Additional cruise aside, I assure you that we did not need (another) reason to hate you.

Heh.

There are certain things that make me laugh out loud and cause Michael to come into my den and ask what's up... that was one of them!

Mark, you also forgot to mention the All Male Lingerie party that you came to in our cabin. How could you?
