Ok if you dont get your docs, go online to the DCL web sites and click on my reservatons and go from there to check in on line.
you will need to print off just 2 pages and they will need to be signed
contract and authorization to use your on board credit. Bring those with you to the terminal to check in with.
Once you go up the escalators at the terminal there are a few tables where people will check over your docs to make sure they are all there. Tell them you need a Bahamas form to fill out for each member of your family. explain you docs didnt arrive before you left. They have tojs of extra ones.

The only other thing you will need to do is when you pull up to drop off your luggage at the port ask the porters for luggage tags. explain your docs didnt arrive before you left. They have lots of extras. make sure they get the correct room number and name on them and your all set.

we have had to do this before when we booked a few days before the cruise, we didnt have time to receive all we needed either. You wont be the only one needing stuff.

Hi George and family,
godsh I'm glad you responded to the PM and decided to post some more.
I am a chatter box and i am an expert at nagging, just ask my husband That is the best way to get people motivated of course threatening to post bad, dumb jokes helps too I am good at that.

I know you asked about the shows, did you see my answer?
If your son like characters he will LOVE Disney Dreams and The Golden Mickeys. They have a ton of them, and dont worry about a young child making noise during the show. this is Disney and it is expected Anyone who cant deal with that is on the wrong cruise

Happy to hear your going to make it to the meet. So far everyone seem to want to be there, so hopefully we will have a good size meet.
I promise not to talk your ears off

well at least I will try not to

catch everyone in the morning. It is almost my bedtime. I am an early riser so I also turn in by 9 to 9:30. But not on the ship. I will be everywhere all 3 days looking to see what kind of trouble i can get into

George
I for got to say you'll love the aquarium at Atlantis.
The tour does move fast but after wards you can go back through at your own speed, just leave your wrist band on as proof you paid admission.

If you have a stroller for DS make it an umbrella type or at least one that is light or folds easily. Unless they have changed it part of the outside part of the tour has some steps. Not too many but you dont want to pull a stroller up them, you will want to fold and carry it.

The windows in the aquarium are almost floor to ceiling so it will be easy for your son to see everything without you holding him up high, it is great for kids.

If you think he will need a snack I would bring it with you because the prices of food and snacks at Atlantis is very expensive!! Worse than at Disney World even!! Just remember if he doesnt eat it throw it away before re-boarding the ship because it is illegal to bering opened food back on the ship even if it came off the ship.

only sealed packages from the stores are allowed and only if they are not opened.

I am off to look for a descent photo of us to post. I already posted my back side with my shirt but I guess i should turn around and show my face too
Did anyone try to figure out who I was in the big group photo I posted?

You'll soon see if you were right,

Just went online to print the cruise contract and got a lovely surprise.
We went from GTY cat 12 to room 2050, a cat 9.
It will be nice to have natural illumination.
Hopefully the band in the bar upstairs won't be to bad.

Congrats on the upgrade

Hi, all! Kathy PM'd me to let me know this thread is moving (thank you) so here I am. We're doing 4 days at WDW and then the cruise with DH's parents, sister, her husband and their three girls. Family fun whether we want it or not, right?
Occupation- DH does something with computers. One time I asked him to really explain his job and instantly regretted it. BORING! I'm a stay at home mom to Ben who is almost 7 months old.
Favorite Disney movie- Toy Story, for sure.
Hobby- I love to shop and back when I had free time, I read a lot.
Well, Ben is up from his nap. Time for baby duty!

 

[dizneygirl3]

Ship: Disney Wonder Stateroom: 2050 Condition: 5
Deck: 2 Category: 9 Location: Mid
Sail Date: 11/15/07

For any men on this thread I think I should tell you by the clubs they let you share Plutos restroom, here is a picture of his restroom.

If you see this scary sea creature at Castaway Cay head the other way, he is nuttier than i am, in case you cant tell by his photos
