Just booked the 5-Night Bahamian Cruise. I know it's well over a year away but given I just got back yesterday from my 10 day Mexican Riviera cruise there's no better way to get over the cruise end blues than to start planning the next one.

Anyone else booked on this cruise?
 


I have added your thread to the cruise meet list :thumbsup2
 
We've got the request in to our travel agent! :banana: It'll be me (Michelle), my brother and his family and my Dad and stepmother. As long as we can get first dining, we'll be a go! Keep your fingers crossed for us.
 
I am possibly booking this one. I'm using my commissions as a TA, so I'm waiting for my first check. It will of course go right back to Disney and hopefully on this cruise!
 


it's official! We're in! We have three cabins: two verandah staterooms and I'm in a near-by inside stateroom. I'm excited to see the virtual portholes!

Great! We have 4 families and have 3 verandah staterooms and 1 inside stateroom on one of the low floors. I hear the virtual portholes are cool. I can't wait to sail on the Dream!
 
We had our "One Year to Go" party last night! :yay::woohoo::dance3:

We ate octopus hot dogs, had brownie sundaes, played our homemade DCL Memory game, listened to cruise-y music and talked about everything we want to make sure we do next year!

Just think - exactly one year from now we'll be up on Deck 11 at the Sail Away party!!
 
We just booked our cruise today! I am so excited! We have cruise before, but never on Disney!!! Looking forward to reading all of your comments :):cheer2::grouphug::wizard::cloud9:

Welcome both to the DISboards and our cruise!
 
Thank you! I need lots of help!!! I want to learn about all of the cool tips and ideas, what to bring, etc. How the fish extenders, door magnets, all that fun stuff :) Is there a theme for our boat, a certain way we are supposed to decorate our doors?

Also is there a quick way to return to certain threads, such as this one? Or do I always have to search for it?
 
Is there a way to get back to this forum easily? Also, I thought I posted a new question post, but I can find it. Any basic Disboards tips would be greatly appreciated :)

You'll find a lot of good information just surfing the cruise board regularly. We haven't chosen a 'cruise theme' for this cruise. Some cruises do, some don't. It kind of depends on the passengers. We're a little ways out still, so there will be much more action on this board as the cruise gets closer.

We haven't started discussion around fish extenders, but I know I'd be interested in playing. Here's a really good basic explanation thread: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1219607&highlight=fish+extender

And here's one full of fun ideas: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1980639&highlight=fish+extender

Doors are up to you! Just remember, you can't use tape - only magnets. There's a couple of good threads of ideas - the Door Magnet thread here on the cruise board or the DISigners thread down in the Community Section may help you get the creative juices flowing!

To find threads quickly you can subscribe to them - there's a "thread options" drop down menu towards the top of the screen, you can subscribe from there. Then, if you click on UserCP at the top of the screen, you'll find a list of your subscribed threads.

For me, I keep a word document with links in it. I update the links as new pages to threads are completed. I know - it's a whole lot more work, but it's what works best for my brain! ;)
 
We just got back from the July 19th 5 day Dream Cruise and it was so awesome we decided to book it again for next year! This was our 7th cruise with Disney and I have to say I was very impressed with the Ship from the Aquaduck, Walt Disney Theater, Crush interaction in Animators Palate, Detective game, expanded shops, very cool virtual portholes (it took us 3 days to figure out that the animation occurs like clockwork every 30 minutes on the half hour), and best of all time was a private cabana on Castaway Cay. My kids (ages 11 and 12) joked they wanted to move to "Cabana #8" in Castaway Cay. Can't wait until next year to do it again! We may have to get a cabana for both days on Castaway Cay if I can talk the wife into it!:banana:
 
We are booked on this cruise too. We are a family of 6. But we are cruising with 8 other families. I think there are almost 40 of us total. 17 kids ranging from 3 to (maybe) 12. I know school hasn't even started yet, but I'm soooo ready for next summer to get here! If we are doing the fish extender group, count us in! Looking forward to getting to know everyone on here! :)
