June 14, 2009 WONDER-ful cruise

[TinkoftheBluegrass]

So, you are going on 2 cruises in the next few months? How great is that!

We are wanting to start buying fish extender items, but have no idea how many to buy for. Does anyone have any suggestions, or should we just wait until the cruise gets closer?

 

[DVCsince02]

If anyone is interested, I can start a list. Just need your room number and the number of people (adults/kids) in each room.

I'm also coordinating the Fish Extender exchange for our May cruise. We have over 75 rooms!

 

[TinkoftheBluegrass]

That would be great if you want to coordinate the fish extenders. My family is definitely in. We are 2 adults and 2 children and will be in stateroom #6554.

FYI--- We were originally in 7124 but were able to switch to 7120 when it became available. Does anyone know if it is as difficult to get Dolphin Excursions (not the Atlantis on- the affordable one) as it is to get Palo reservations at 75 days?

 

[txvjc]

WE would like to do the fish extenders...were 2 kids/2 adults in 6548

 

[debroche]

DisRek,
Last year we easily booked the Nassau dolphin encounter and Palo reservations 75 days ahead. We were even able to switch our Palo reservation to another day when we were onboard. You shouldn't have a problem. FYI -- The dolphon encounter was awesome!

 

[Bashful in TN]

Thanks for coordinating the FE exchange. I was wanting to get started on those gifts too. We are 2 adults, 1 child in room #6582.

Does anyone else have a child under 3? I'd like to give the itty-bitty ones something they can enjoy too.

We are also wanting to do the Palo Brunch.

DVCsince02 - Did you book all 10 hours for the nursery? And how did you decide what times you wanted (other than while at Palo)?

 

[DVCsince02]

I have a 6yo girl, a 3yo boy, and 8mo boy.

I didn't book everything yet. I really can't decide. I thought maybe during the shows or pirate night so the fireworks don't upset the baby, but we would keep our 3yo with us. Unfortunately he isn't fully potty trained so he has to go the nursery. I understand he can go to the oceaneer club, but we would have to stay with him.

I'll start the FE list next week to allow the others to sign up.

 

[TinkoftheBluegrass]

Bashful in TN- Our son will be about three weeks shy of his third birthday. He would probably be just as happy with "Big Kid" items in the fish extender, but I think it is a great idea to list the other little ones so we know.

DVCsince02- I am glad to see we can go with him to the Oceaneer's Club. He will be so close to three, but is also not completely potty-trained. Who knows? We have got over two months to try!

 

[twinboysmommy]

Hi!
I've corrected our cabin numbers. Count us in for the FE. We'll have our twin boys (8) in #6546 and our nephew (8) with his parents in #6544.

txvjc - you are right next door to us!!!

We haven't booked yet still trying to get dates for either this cruise or the June 7th sailing. We just went on the March 8th-12th sailing on the wonder and it was great!! When we got back with pictures family wants to go now, so we are hoping to get on one of these 2 sailings. Will let you know which on it is!!

Hi!

We'll be trying our first cruise next summer. We are so excited! It will be myself, DH, and twin boys (8 by then).

Joining us will be my SIL, BIL, and their son (he will also be 8).

Let us know if you are sailing with us!

txvjc - you are right next door to us!!!

Well I'll apologize now for noise from our 1 year old now that way if she gets noisy on the cruise I know one of our neighbors won't be cursing us

If we only knew who was in 6550 we would have nice little block od Dis'ser rooms between you, us, and Tink

 

[DVCsince02]

No apology necessary. This is a family cruise, so people should expect children noise.

Yesterday I scheduled my little one in the nursery during the pirate party. I think the fireworks may be too much for him.

Did anyone else schedule brunch?

DVDsince02:

My husband and I made a bruch reservation for 11:30 a.m. Which time are you brunching?

Deb

 

[txvjc]

Hoping to make brunch reservations and flounders time tonight as soon as it will let me...really don't want to stand in line on the day we leave to try and get one only to not get one and waste that time when I could be exploring the ship

My husband and I made a bruch reservation for 11:30 a.m. Which time are you brunching?

Deb

I think that time sounds about right. I can't remember if it's 11 or 11:30. Since we are traveling with my family (parents and brother's family) there will be 6 of us at brunch, the kids will be in the clubs/nursery. I can't wait because I wasn't able to schedule the brunch for our May cruise but we are doing dinner at Palo's in May and not in June. More open ressies for you.

How about excursions? What is everyone doing?

 

[debroche]

We did the Palo dinner last year, but missed the Pirates dinner. We are doing only the brunch this time. I am getting so excited!

My son and I are doing the jet ski tour on Castaway Cay, and riding bikes. We didn't book anything at Nassau. We weren't impressed with Nassau last year, so we will probably stay on the boat.

 

[DVCsince02]

We are staying on the boat too. See you at the pool!

 

[txvjc]

We decided not to book any excursions in Nassau, just thought we would get off and look around for an hour or two then get back on the boat since we've heard more bad then good about it...plus we want to enjoy the boat.
