[Never to old]

If anyone is like me and is going to spend time in Vancouver before the cruise starts and is looking for any attraction deals there are a few on GROUPON. You can get 54% off the Vancouver harbour tours for 2 or 4 and there's also a discount (53% off) for the city bus tour. I saw a some for things in Washington like 50% off whale watching.

Thanks for the info : )

How early is everyone planning on arriving at the Port?

OPEN! OPEN! OPEN!

 

[Cibahwewah]

One week from right now, we'll be boarding!
"Doofenschmirtz family, party of one!" Just kidding. DH threatened to have DS announced like that.
Our boarding time is 11:30, I think. I'll have to go back and look. I've read it takes about an hour from arrival to boarding.
We're staying at Pan Pacific, so we'll hand off our bags to bell services and toodle oot and aboot, eh? for the morning. There's a Tim Horton's nearby to get the vacation started right! "Hey kiddos, you're not hyper enough yet, let's go eat sugar!" Then we have tickets for Fly over Canada. I figured we'd be up early with the 2 hour time difference and didn't want to be sitting around all morning waiting for the boarding to start. As long as I have my coffee, I'll be good, it's the rest of 'em I worry about.
I think I'll start packing early this week. I'm worried that it won't all fit in 4 backpacks, and 4 roll-aboards, and that I may need to go luggage shopping. And I can't find my fish-extender....may have a last minute sewing project.

We are planning to get there as soon as we can! We have the 11 port arrival time.

On today's DIS Unplugged LIVE video podcast, they'll be discussing their cruise to Alaska on the Wonder. I'm sure there will be lots of cool pictures and video.

The podcast starts with their news show at 10am (Pacific). The Alaska show should follow that...I'm guessing around 11am?

Packing packing packing! To-do lists!! Oh yeah, and regular life, too.

Hello

I'm a single mom traveling with my teenage son on this cruise. I always make a point of going to Palo at least once.

I made reservations for Palo for Day 6 for dinner and Day 7 for brunch.

If anyone would like to join me, please I would love the company, please PM me. It will be my treat for up to 4 folks.

I'm getting excited!!! We are almost there

Hi all,

I haven't posted much, although I am the one who started this thread back in April of 2012. Just wanted to say that it will be just me and my two teens, DD age 14 and DS age 13 (hubby had to work), and I'm really looking forward to meeting some new folks. This will be our third DCL cruise, second on the Wonder (our favorite ship).

Getting excited!

HI April, I too am a single mom with 3 teenage daughters, although I am also traveling with my family celebrating my parents 50th wedding anniversary. We have a "girls" (my mother and sisters)brunch scheduled on Day 7 at either 10 or 10:30 and you are more than welcomed to join us.

Left Fresno this morning and after a long day of driving, we're nearing Eureka, CA where we'll stop for the night.

Along the way we stopped for the free tour at the Jelly Belly factor. Free samples!

 

[jrosstrinity]
