January 3, 2011 - 5 night Bahamas Sailing

[FLWIDisneyFan]

We just booked this cruise this week. It will be our 6th cruise and there will be 4 of us myself, DW, DD8, and DD2. We are really hoping the decorations are going to up for this Holiday cruise. I sent an email to dcl reservations and they told me they have not made any decisions yet on when the decorations will be taken down. They also mentioned that their guest opinions on the matter will be shared with management. Anyone else wanting to see the decorations may want to send an email to hopefully influence the decision. The email address is dcl.reservations@disneycruise.com.

We are looking forward to heading south for at least a little part of the winter.

I just sent my email to DCL.

FLWIDisneyFan, will you be participating in the fish extender?

 

[FLWIDisneyFan]

I will have to talk it over with DW about the fish extenders. We have not done it on our previous cruises and I only recently learned about them from this board.

Just modified the reservation to take advantage of kids sail free. Moved from Secret Porthole to 5C GTY and saved $13.

Dear Scott,

Thank you for choosing a Disney Cruise Line vacation!

I would be happy to assist you.

During the Holiday Season, we will have festive decorations and holiday
themed entertainment for the entire family. However, at this time, the
schedule for the holiday decorations has not been determined.

We usually have this information closer late October or early November.
Please contact us during this time and it would be our pleasure to
further assist you.

Please be assured that your thoughts will be shared with management.
Input from our Guests is a valuable tool in determining ways we can make
their visits more convenient and enjoyable.

I hope this information has been helpful. *If you require further
assistance in planning your visit, please feel free to contact us.

We look forward to sailing with you!

Have a Magical Day!

I got the same reply too. Maybe with enough of us wanting them to stay up they'll listen. Fingers crossed.

 

[FLWIDisneyFan]

I received the same reply. I smell a form letter.

My reply did not mention and exact timeframe for the decision but otherwise its the same email.

 

[FLWIDisneyFan]

I hate to say it but the timeframe for the decision is right after the paid in full date (October 20th). We're still looking forward to the trip but it would be nice if they could make the decision prior to Oct 20th.

DW is leaning toward doing the FE Exchange. What type of things do people generally leave and how many items would we need to bring.

I added you to the "Not yet committed" section of the fish extender list.

Just let me know when you know either way.

Hi there!

We have actually discussed this on this thread before, so just read thru the posts There are also a few threads on the Cruise Line board on these Dis boards. It is TONS of fun.

I plan on compiling an e-mail to DCl as well about the decorations and I hope everyone does as well. they way I figure it, it's billed as a "holiday" cruise, per DCL, so they should have them up. If this cruise was originally part of the 10 day Magic holiday cruise that got split up into 2 cruises, then for sure it should be!! Let's all cross our fingers

I just held this one and hopefully we will hear soon if DH gets the vacation days. I would be interested in doing the FE exchange! Put us down for maybe until we hear on the vacation days for sure.

Patricia and Craig- 3rd Disney cruise, 4th cruise.

Everyone's tickers are starting to move. Can't wait!

I received the fish extender I ordered in the mail today. I love it! I may even put our kids tickets for the trip in the pockets to surprise them christmas morning. IT WOULD LOOK SO GREAT.
