January 14, 2010 3 night Wonder

[Jennifer in MI]

We'd do a FE exchange if anyone else is interested! We didn't book anything. We're going to head over to Atlantis, but I think we'll do the free stuff. It would cost us almost $800 to do it for one day!

I'm up for the FE for this cruise.
It's myself, DH and DD (15).
Right now we are deck 7 aft, but I'm going to try for an upgrade at the port.

 

[ashbradnmom]

Yea!! I am so excited someone is interested in the FE exchange!! I am not really sure how to get it started. I will do some reading and find out unless one of you already knows how to start it and set it all up.

We'd be intersted in a FE exchange! We dont have a cabin number yet--probably won't know until we get docs since we're a GTY.

You should be able to find out your cabin number on DCL's website under your ressie number. It may change, but it usually doesn't once it's assigned.

No dice yet, unfortunately. Hopefully someday soon, though I'm not too particular about where we wind up. I like deck 2 and that's where most of the cat 9s are anyway.

Usually about 35 days out DCL will start assigning cabin numbers, still a couple of more weeks to wait. Don't be surprised if you get assigned a cat. 9 on deck 1. We were on deck 1 once and didn't mind it at all, we didn't mind the 2 smaller portholes.

My friends and I just booked this cruise. We will be in 5518. We are all students at University of Florida and managed to snag an awesome Florida resident rate. This will be my 12th cruise and all of my friends first cruise, so we are all very excited. Looking forward to meeting everyone. Do we have a meet set up yet?

 

[andeeNjoel]

We just booked this cruise. We will be celebrating our 13th wedding anniversary.

This is our 3rd Disney Cruise (no kids yet). Our first was a 4 night in March of 2009. Our 2nd was a 7 night Eastern (Tortola) in August 2009- actually ended up being a Western to avoid Hurricane Bill. My sister, her husband, and 4 kids joined us on the 7 night- great time!

We went on the Segway excursion in Nassau in March and loved it!

I would love to organize this for our group if you'd like!

 

[ashbradnmom]

Thanks! Sounds like fun. Let me know how I can help.

7 WEEKS

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Hi everyone! Sorry to have disappeared for a couple of weeks -- but you know how sometimes life gets in the way?

Anyway, we would love to participate in the exchange! It's just the two of us, DW Sunny and DH Wil.

In other DCL news, we got a sad little voicemail from a CM informing us that the Nassau Segway Tour had been cancelled. It was the one excursion we really wanted to do, unfortunately, so we'll probably just end up lolling on the beach...

I can't believe how soon we set sail!

It is never fun when an excursion is cancelled but you are actually very lucky that DCL cancelled that excursion. Last week 9 DCL passengers and 9 RCI passengers were robbed at gunpoint on that excursion. Have you been to Nassau before? With the horrible increase in crime over the past year I would recommend enjoying everything the ship has to offer and treating it like a day at sea. If you have never been to Nassau before, I would suggest going ashore checking out the port area for an hour or so and then heading back to the ship. Otherwise, there is plenty to do on the ship all day.

 

[HEIDIR]

Please bear with me here, new to the DIS boards.

This will be our first cruise and would love to join the fish extender fun.

It is me, dh, ds(11), and ds(8 - turning 9 the day after our cruise).

Just let me know what I need to do next!!! Starting to get real excited about this trip.

 

[andeeNjoel]

HEIDIR - Welcome to the boards!

I will add both HEIDIR and sunstress to the fish extender group!

Sunstress- I am sorry about the Segway tour- we had a blast when we did it last March. You might be interested in trying the kayaking excursion on Castaway Cay- enjoyed it too. BUT there is plenty to do on Castaway Cay if you want to skip excursions this time.

I agree with you on delivering when each person wants and to give as they feel appropriate.

I'll send you a PM with our cabin number, but I'm going to try and upgrade at the port so it could change.
If your cabin will stay the same we should leave a note on your fish with a cabin change (if that should happen) once we are allowed to the cabins. If there are cabin changes how would you like to handle letting us know?

Thanks for organizing this.
