July 12, 2011 - Sailing to Alaska is WONDERful style!!!

[mrsmoore]

We also didn't think we would like crusing, but boy were we wrong. We love it!

The Alaska cruise will be our 4th, crossing my fingers that it is our 5th. I'm trying to convince my husband that we need to do the April 10 day Mexician Riviera as an adult only trip. Hopefully that works out.

As to the fish extenders...my over organized self has already started a list of who is thinking of doing them =)

Today has been hectic for me. Got done with work at 7am and had to be back to work at 11 am for a meeting. Not a lot of fun. I have been up now for close to 18 hours and the baby finally fell asleep so I think I will steal a little nap before getting the kids from school and then off to games and practices.

I hope everyone has a good Friday night =)

This will be our first cruise!! I am so excited!! If we have our passports, I might try to figure out a West Coast repo next year on a different cruise line, Or some of the lines do 4 days short cruises otu of Seattle in September before their repo.

I want to do fish extenders, put us on the list!

Our son Mitchel is currently 13. If he keeps getting in trouble at school he might stay 13 for ever.

cool! im michelle, i dont think i mentioned that. hopefullywe will make a kids board for this cruise

 

[crzy4dals]

We will be participating in the Fish Extender gift exchange as well.
We had a kids board for our last cruise - it was not too busy - all depends on the ages of the kids

One other thing we did on our last cruise was a Scavenger Hunt - It was a lot of fun. I still have the "hunt" list. It was for the Magic. I am sure I can make one for the Wonder. This was a family event. Just another "event" we can put on the options list.

The scavenger hunt sounds really fun. I think the kids would love it. What kind of things did you have to find?

It has been a really busy week for me. Working and then multiple days of manditory meetings. Makes it really suck when the meetings are during your nap time. I went to bed at 8am and didn't get up until just now. This is the most sleep that I've had all week. =)
Ok I'll start keeping track of the fish extender list. =)

Everyone have a good rest of the day. I'm going wake up with some morning coffee. And figure out my plans for the day. Which probably include absolutely nothing.

Anyone hear that we were over charged points for the Alaska cruise? Wayne looked at the points chart and it seems that we were over charged by 70 points a room. I think it will have to look into this monday for sure. I will let you know what I come up with. 140 points would be a nice room the night before in Vancouver.

just an FYI!

 

[Fivepin]

We didn't get picked for the house party either.

Just wanted to check in. I'm busy now focusing on my upcoming cruise. We'll be on this cruise and would love to participate in the FE as well. Our gang:

Judy(me)
DH-Ray
DS-Michael 11 at time of cruising (wow-had to stop for a minute & think about that)
DS-Zachary 9 at time of cruising
DS-Christopher 7 at time of cruising

DH and I are doing the Baltic for our 40th birthdays and 15th anniversary.

We're planning on flying into Seattle a couple days before. I have an aunt there. Then maybe taking the train to Vancouver. Haven't started looking into that yet.

Everyone have a great day.

Hello everyone! Just wanted to introduce ourselves - we booked this cruise last week while onboard the Western Magic. Sailing will be myself (Patty), DH (Mike), DD (Emily - 10 at time of cruise) and DD (Taryn - 7 at time of cruise). We are in cabin 6060. We have done 2 Magic cruises, but this will be our first trip on the Wonder. Can't wait to start planning!

it has been quiet - but has everyone been waiting for the olympics so we can see what's going to be new in vancouver for our trip in 2011 - i've been checking out olympic sites and it looks like they hve been busy improving the city for all of the visitors - hopefully we get the benefits of the upgrades -

happy holidays to all -

 

[PE_TCR]

We are going!
However- my wife doesn't know yet. She will find out on Feb. 14th (our anniversary). I booked while we were on our New Year's Eve cruise. Most amazing trip I have ever been on. The forcast was really bad the night we left Castaway Cay so the Wonder was coming in to dock and wait out the storm so we got to pass her and have a little horn battle.
I am also suprising her by booking out parents on the cruise. They are all in on it. So we are a group of 6 for now.
I would love to get to know you all. How mahy of you are on facebook? at!Let's chat!

I've never been to Vancouver so everything will be new to me! May have to think about coming up a few days early and explore.

Welcome aboard! I've never had the pleasure of being there when the Wonder and the Magic port at the same time, but I saw a youtube video of it. What a blast!

Did someone start a facebook page for this cruise? I'd join. We're on facebook.

If everyone can wait until Feb 14 I can make a facebook page. I did it for our last cruise and it worked really well. We just didn't have a big group to start with. I'd make one right away but I am positive my wife would see it and she would figure out we are going. If someone else wants to make it I will join after the 14th. Otherwise I will have it all ready to go then. Just let me know.
Anyone who wants to chat there sometime please send me a friend request. Brian Marx, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Can't wait to meet you all!
