January 27 - Wonder cruisers?

[SeaShelley]

I thought I would post again to see if any DIS folks out there are sailing on the 4-night Wonder on January 27?

Hi SeaShelley,
Looks like you and I have the ship to ourselves . Cruising will be myself, DH and DD (6 yrs old). See you soon!

I am seriously considering booking this sailing...is it the itinerary with the day at sea or the Freeport stop?? Just curious, I am now trying to figure out how to arrange for everyone to have the same time off of work!
Thanks...

Hi,
Freeport is a stop on the January 27th sailing. Come join us . Don't forget, if you sail in January you get a voucher for a $99 3 day cruise for use in the fall of 2002.

Thanks Mary,
I actually was hoping that it would be a day at sea. It won't change if I cruise or not. I just returned from my first 3 day and I really feel that I missed a lot of the ship. I only spent about 2 hrs in Nassau but I would love a day at sea to explore and appreciate the ship itself. Anyway, I want to go again and the $99 thing plus my birthday being the 28th are my big motivators. I would like to take my mother and 2 sisters as well as my daughter. So, as you can tell, arranging that many schedules can be tricky! Wish me luck!!!!!

 

[SeaShelley]

Well Maryisme, looks like it's just you (and your family), me and Mermaid96.

Tarasmom: what did you work out? Are you going to be able to join us???

Hi SeaShelley,

According to the CM I spoke to last week our sailing is 80% full. Are we three the only dismembers on board? .

Sailing will be myself, DH and DD (6 years old).

Anyone else?

We are considering this cruise. What kind of weather are all of you packing for? I am thinking 60's and low 70's.

 

[maryisme]

Hey this is great---some responses!! I am packing everything from tshirts and shorts to sweaters and jackets. I'm not sure what I'm going to need. After the cruise, we will be spending 3 days in WDW.

Also, I've been tracking the prices for this cruise and they have gone up so if anyone is thinking of booking do it now. Also, don't forget about the $99 voucher for the 3 day cruise.

Maryisme,

Do you have any additional info on that $99 rate? What might taxes and port charges change that price to? Also, is that for the category you are paying for now or the cheapest they have?

 

[mermaid96]

Wow there will be some of Dis'sers on this cruise!! Everyone got their lime green ribbons ready????

 

[maryisme]

Briane, follow the below link for more info on the $99 voucher from DCL.
Sunshine Sailaway
For the special $99 Fall 2002 cruise DCL quoted me a total price of $212.85 with all taxes and port charges per person . If you book an inside cabin for your January cruise you will get an inside for your 3 day cruise, book a window now get a window later, etc. However, you will not necessarily get the same category you are sailing in January. For instance, I'm confirmed for a category 11 for January, DCL said I can get a category 10, 11 or 12 on the 3 day. I hope I didn't confuse you.

Good luck deciding.

How are you getting this so cheaply?? what day are you going on? I am getting $429 for cat 11 for Jan 27

Thanks Joe

 

[maryisme]

Hi Joe,
I'm sorry I wasn't clear in my previous post. I have amended the post and hope it doesn't cause any confusion. The price I was referring to was the total cost of the $99 voucher which you get when you cruise in January.

My family and I will also be on the January 27th cruise!

Mary

 

[Bosjoe]

Ok Mary..
Was abou to say you got a great price.. I am waiting for the Cruise agency to call me back. He said by 5pm.. I will be following you to disney after the cruise to.

Being a novice to this site please explain green ribbon
Dw and I plus two newbies are going on the 1/27 wonder and we cant wait.

 

[SeaShelley]

Hey Mermaid, explain the green ribbon to me too......and I'm her cabinmate!!!!!

So glad to get some responses to my original post. Maryisme, I thought we were the only ones....somehow I had these bizarre visions of the ship all to ourselves!

Anyway I am glad to see others will be joining Mermaid and I. You will most likely find us at the adult pool (we are leaving the husbands and kids at home) sipping margaritas....with our green ribbons of course!

briane, I am preparing for the same temperatures as you, but saying prayers for low to mid 80's...a girl can dream can't she! We will be leaving the State of Maine, so anything over 40 will seem like a heat wave!

19 days and counting.......inkbounc

 

[SeaShelley]

Hey January 27 cruisers......10 days and counting!!!! It looks like Rachael's post was lost during the downtime. Let's get the discussion going again about meeting on the ship! Mermaid and I are SO excited!!!!!!! And you????
