First Cruise. Different 4 day schedule questions?

[spinnerblt]

Hello'
We are going a four day cruise on Wonder with a different schedule. Our first day is at sea, then Castaway Cay, and a short day at Nassau with return to ship at 2:15. What day will the Palo Brunch be? How hard will it be get this? We really want to experience all the different restaurants and pirate menu night. Brunch would be ideal. Am I dreaming? Also it is Valentines day during the cruise. Is there something we look forward to and not miss( special merchandise or events). Getting very excited and trying to figure everything out. Thanks in advance for any help.

Brunch is typically on sea days only. That said, recent Dream cruises have had the brunch available on the Nassau day.

As for your cruise - who knows? You'll have to check when you booking window opens as to whether it's available or not.

Thanks. This schedule seems very different than all the others? Have you seen it before?

Just a question first. You said a 4 DAY cruise - do you mean a 4 NIGHT or a 3 night cruise?

Our 4 night Dream cruise was Nassau, Castaway Cay, sea day, and back to Port Canaveral. What cruise has you leaving Nassau at 2:15? Most of the time it's 5:15.

We are on the 4 night February 12 departure on the Wonder. It is 2:30. Just rechecked. We are not that excited about Nassau. Been trying to read some of old navigators and have not seen this. WOuld have preferred your schedule. Cruise needed to be a Sunday cruise departure. thanks

I'm guessing since it's sort of an "added" itinerary, they had to figure out what port times/dates were available. Since the Dream visits Nassau twice a week (not counting all the other cruise lines that visit there), there may have been limited dock time available for the Wonder.

Thanks. Will that mean we might have Castaway Cay to our selves?

Well, you undoubtably would have Castaway Cay to yourselves. There's only one pier there for the Disney ships. They can't dock more than one ship at a time.

You know that might be why the flipped itinerary. Since the Dream visits CC twice a week, and the Fantasy once a week, that only leaves 4 other days for scheduling the other ship(s).

And I figure the early departure from Nassau has to do with Nassau being further from Port Canaveral than CC is.

That was my husbands theory farther to get back to Port Canerval.
