So, can I ask a few question of you cruise vets now that we are booked? First...we have second seating for dinner, waitlisted for first. What do you think our chances of moving to first are? Second, we are in a cat 12 with 4 people...do you think we stand any chance of an upgrade, or should we just prepare to snuggle? Finally, if the answers to any of the above are affirmative, how long do you think it will be before we hear anything? Thanks!

We were waitlisted for first seating on our first curise, and it had come through before we got our documents in the mail. We just booked, and we are also waitlisted for first seating. I understand they try to put families with small children in the first seating, so others might get switched around as time goes on.

From what I understand, Cat 12 will only sleep up to 3, so if you booked 4 in a Cat 12, you will be upgraded to at least an 11.

As for when to hear, it could be as soon as the next time you check your reservation, or as late as when you check in at the port. However, regardless of what dining or room you get, you'll have an awsome time!

Jim, great idea, but, be careful what you start, this could start to be a full time job.

Hello!

I just put in a quote to Dreams for this sailing, so barring anything strange, we will probably be joining you all. I say probably because we are still going back and forth on what we want to do next year. Right now the cruise is winning, so we thought we should book before the prices go up!

I'm Kathy and my Husband is Jeff . We have a wee little girl named Katie who will be five and a half when we sail. We are all DCL veterans.

Hey Kathy! Welcome almost aboard. My DD (Hannah) just turned five and is excited that there may be another girl her age that she can get to know. Looks like there is another 5 year old girl and two 4 year old girls in the DIS list so far too.

Hey there! Thanks for the welcome!

Katie turns 5 in a couple of weeks, so our daughters must be close in age. This will be the first Disney related trip that we will be taking without our good friends who have a daughter her age so knowing that there will be another girl close to her age will help!

Looks like it is going to be a full ship!

Hello and welcome to all our new Thaw Cruisers!!!!!

Once again, I get occupied with ending the youth bowling league, and miss 2 pages... So how is everyone? I hope all the mom's out there had a wonderful mothers day. Ours was quiet, DH got me a Cricut for my scrapbooking, so I spent yesterday playing with it.

Owensjro, thank you for the list. Small world, we are here in Goldsboro, NC..

So, I am up for a DIS meet. On our last cruise, at the DIS meet, we had a DIS bag exchange....if anyone is interested in the meet or the bag exchange, I am up for it!

Sadly, I didn't make it. I have a friend from another forum who did it for me. I LOVe it though. I should get her to update it with her most recent pictures with Lightening and Mater. She LOVES them.

Beth......what is a dis-bag exchange? I am up to doing a meet and greet. We did one on the EOS on RCL 2 years ago and what a great way to start the cruise off. We ended up on an excurision with a family from the board....not intentional, but good anyways.

What a DIS bag exchange is, at the DIS meet, if you choose to participate, you bring a gift bag with things in it pertaining to your hometown, or state. Doesn't have to be expensive, last year we put a max limit on the bags(which no one stuck to..LOL). And at the meet, you have a bag exchange with the other DIS'ers who participated.

Example, in my bag, I had UNC stuff, Carolina Hurricanes, and things from the AF base we are at. The bag I got had all kinds of things from Illinois in it!!

We also played DIS tag!!

I had also made magnets for everyone, and another DIS'er had made us all buttons.

I think this sounds like a lot of fun, I would totally be game. I am already thinking of all the Maine things I could get for my bag

We did the same sort of thing on our cruise in Oct of 2005. The only difference is that we each brought a small bag for everyone who wanted to participate and they got passed around to each room (usually left on the fish!) throughout the cruise. Distag with prizes, basically.

That sounds like alot of fun, was it very confusing or was it easy to keep up with? I know with the Tag, I had the mickey ears left on my door a few times..
I am game for anything.

ROFL...I could try, but they might die on the flight to Orlando from Portland...and that would be stinky! I have a few other ideas, though!

 

[jsheridan]

Tag, meets, whatever... I'm game! I'll just have to give some thought to what Massachusetts is known for besides our politicians (good or bad - you decide) and the Red Sox (none of them will fit in my carryon bags - I'd try but DH wouldn't be happy to let me travel with them - a girl can dream though... )!

I guess a oversized duffle bag would give it away too huh?? You could use the excuse its for all the stuff you plan on buying on the islands....

Hi everyone,

Been away from the boards for a couple of weeks and had to catch up on 4 pages, great to see a few more Dissers are now on the cruise

The gift bag idea sounds great - I hope you all love penguins!

 

[chepic]

Sounds like a fun thing to do. There are 5+ families from RI going so I am certain we could think of quite a bit to fill some bags up. jsheridan...you're not the only one with bad politics....maybe Buddy C will be out of jail by then and he could take a ride with us

Have a great day!!!
