January 28, 2007, 4 nights on the WONDER

[stampinshauna]

Is there anyone else doing the 4-night starting Jan 28th of next year? I've searched the Cruise Meets board and can't find a thread. If there is already one, please let me know.

Am I the only DISer going on this cruise?

 

[classicdisney]

Well it is nice to see that someone else is going on this cruise. Both me and my son will be on the ship. This will be or first cruise ever and what better way to do it. we are disney all the way. Hope to see you there.

We are going on the 4 day Jan 28th! It is my 2 DD's (still figuring out the codes) ages 10 & 6 and my DH. This is our first Disney cruise and we can't wait! We are doing 3 days at the Poly beforehand.

I am sailing with my sister on Jan28. It will be her first and my 3rd Disney cruise. Doing one pre-night somewhere close to port. And then 1 post-night at WDW. Haven't decided on hotels yet. I hate to rush the year end holidays, but I can't wait til January!

 

[stampinshauna]

Hooray! I'm not the only DISer on the cruise.

For those of you who are first timers, feel free to ask any questions. I love talking about cruises. This will be my 3rd Disney Cruise and my 4th cruise total. We sailed on Princess in May and we just had to come back to Disney.

It will be me and my DH. We're staying at the Boardwalk for a day before and then the Wilderness Lodge for a couple days after.

Hey everyone! My family and I are joining you and we are soooo excited! This will be our first cruise and I agree with PP that even though I hate wishing the summer away, January can't get here quick enough. It will be a great relief to escape the Wisconsin winter. We have 3 DD that are 11, 7, and 1 yr old. I can't wait to see thier faces when we see the boat for the first time. We are going to be in FL a day early although we are not sure where we are staying yet.

Six months from today we will be sailing away. Yipee! If you didn't pick up on it, stampinshauna is my wife. We really enjoy DCL and are looking forward to our third cruise. We have done the Eastern and Western itineraries, and are looking to test The Wonder.

My wife really enjoys talking about the crusie so don't hesitate to ask her questions. If you want a man's perspective, I'm happy to provide that.

Happy sailing!

 

[stampinshauna]

Bump!

Who else is cruising with us?

 

[KS Prarie gal]

Hi, this is my first post! We are on this cruise. It will be the first cruise for my family. Husband and DD 15, 13, and 9. I have been reading the boards for a while now, and have gotten alot of tips. Just wanted to say Hi to the others who will be cruising at the same time!

 

[Castaway Kev]

Welcome KS Prarie gal!
You will love your first cruise. If you have any questions, it would be a pleasure to answer them for you.

 

[stampinshauna]

In 4-1/2 months we'll all be sailing!!!

 

[logabbmom]

My family, DH and 2 DD's along with my DSIL and her DH and 2 DD's will also be cruising the 28th. All of us are first timer's. Flying in from Wisconsin on the 23rd and staying at the AKL. The girls are all ecstatic for this trip! I can't wait to see their faces light up when we enter the boat and their name is announced!

 

[stampinshauna]

Welcome to the group Logabbmom!!! You and your whole family will have a blast!

Has anyone decided what excursions to do in Nassau?

 

[logabbmom]

I read the Atlantis has some deals going now - not sure if they will be in January or not - is that a place worth going OR being first timers is it just worth it to stay on the boat and enjoy it while others get off and give us more room at the pools etc??? DH is not a big water person but the kids would love it - just not sure if I want to spend and extra $200 when they may just love doing the boat that day??
Thoughts????

 

[stampinshauna]

Well, some people say Nassau isn't that great and to stay on the ship. However, I'd like to get off and at least wander around a little. DH is interested in Atlantis, but I haven't seen any deals for January. We've never been to Nassau before as we've only sailed on the Magic which doesn't stop in Nassau. We like to get off in every port, it doesn't mean that we stay off the ship all day. It seems like we are usually off for half of the day and then come back for lunch & a swim. Then, depending on if we have any other excursions or shopping to do, we may get back off the ship. There have been a few ports where we just wander around on our own and hardly spend any money.

If you do decide to stay on the ship, you will have a great time. The 4-day cruise is going to seem very short to me because I've only done 7-days. There is so much to do and enjoy on the ship.

If anyone sees a January Atlantis special, please share!

Count us in, too! It will be our first DCL cruise, but we've done several other lines in the past. It will be myself, DH, and DD (2.5). We're staying a few days at DW after the cruise.

One question....does anyone from the "cruise meets" ever get together to share transportation, or is that a little too "up close and personal" ? With just 2 of us (DD is "free") there's not a whole lot of choice other than DCL, and its so expensive! Just wondering...
