well from Ohio but not a teacher

 

[DVC Mary]

Don't forget about the teacher from IL.

 

[Smileneyes]

Yep, another Buckeye booked for the 6/20/09 cruise!

It'll be myself (46) and DS (16) for another Father's Day cruise with Disney!

Booked onboard from last month, managed to sneak in a SPH on Deck 6...was in a SPH on Deck 7 last year.

Looking forward to it!

 

[DVC Mary]

Welcome Smileneyes!

Congrats on the SPH! I didn't know they had them on Deck 6. What area of the ship are they?

We're in a SPH on Deck 5.

 

[Smileneyes]

Hi, DVC Mary!

There are 2 SPH's on Deck 6 aft. Cat 6 at Cat 7 prices, due to the curvature of the metal causing a slightly obstructed view off the veranda.

There are 2 similar SPH's on Deck 7 (one of which we had last month on our 4-nighter).

11 months to go!

 

[FairyGrandmother]

We have one to the SPH's on deck 5 room 5020 . There will be 4 of us myself and DD Michelle, and my DGDs Bethaine and Caitlin . They will be 14 and 9 at the time of the cruise. Our group for this cruise seams to growing.

We are going on our first cruise in September, and are really excited we have formed a group and are doing FEs and are planning a meet for the first evening. I hope we will be able to meet and become friends with some of you during the next 11 months. RLccweens and I are already arranging for her DD and my eldest DGD to get to know each other on the internet, I hope I can find a friend for Caitlin as well.

5020 is our old room--see my review in stateroom reports. This time we'll be in a SPH on the other side of Deck 5. It's one of the connecting ones. I hope we won't have neighbors who are too noisy or that we'll bother them too much.

Our son Patrick will turn 9 the day we depart, so maybe he'll get to know to know your DGD Caitlin. He's very sociable w/ the girls. He'll act shy but when there are no adults around, he'll talk up a blue streak. We could try to get them to email, but he's better in person. PM me if you want to have them try. My other DS will be 12.

Is it just me or are there a lot of girls in our group among the children??

Smileneyes--Thanks for the explanation of the SPH on Deck 6 & 7. I never knew they had those. Is it an obstucted view w/ a navigator's verandah?

Happy summer everyone!

If you're the prayerful kind of person, would you please keep my DH in your prayers.

He was laid off (2nd time in 2 yrs after 17 yrs staight w/ Motorola). He's finally getting more interviews, but they keep telling him he's overqualified & that they think he'd be bored. He keeps trying to get the message across via the headhunters that he just needs a job & would be happy to get on in his actual area of expertise.

Hey Beth you glad to have you on board. I think I know you, don't I? Could possably be my grandaughter? If you are you might also get your sister to join in so that she can find some friends aswell.

Hey guys I'm Dani and I'll be 14 at the time of the cruise. I'm trying to convince my parents to let us go! Anybody know what kind of a room we should get? We're trying to save money and the highest category left is 11, standard. Has anybody sailed with it? The cruise is a little pricey. Is it normal?

Yep, it can be pricey for sure! The thing about DCL is that you have to book WAY in advance to save some money, (remember, they only have 2 ships not 25 like other lines so they can pretty charge alot and still fill the cabins)....and even then it's expensive! My sister had a category 11 on our last cruise and it was totally fine! You'll be happy anywhere on the ship as long as you are ON the ship!!!

I totally agree with your sister's way of thinking....as long as I'm the ship; that's all that matters!!

We have sailed in many different catagories from 4 to 11. We actually enjoy the 11 because it is soooo dark and sleeping is great. There are 4 of us in the room (2 adults, 14yo and 11 yo) this year and it will suit our needs just fine. Don't even give it a second thought...BOOK, BOOK, BOOK IT!

298 days until cruise on the wall...
...298 days until cruise!

 

[CBEB]

Hi Everyone!

We're coming along with you! It's DH66, DD12(at cruise time) and me53. This will be DCL #6 for us.

Time will fly!

 

[FairyGrandmother]

Just wanted to say a quick hi to everyone. Michelle and I just returned from our 4 day Wonder cruise and it was great . We are really looking forward to this cruise we will have my DGDs with us . They will be 14 and 9. Bethanie has already met one friend for the cruise I am hoping we will be able to find some girls that are Caitlins age so that she will also have a friend on board . Both girls are outgoing and enjoy dance and swimming and of course boys. You all know how girls are.

I am still planning this trip and am hoping to add a few park days before the cruise. I hope to spend the night before the cruise at the Radisson in Port Canaveral. That is where we stayed on this trip and It was a realy nice spot. Caitlin will love the pool. They have shuttle service to the port wich is also nice.

That is all for now, back soon Magie

 

[missyoh8]

My oldest 2 kids would love to find some kids their own age to chat with before the cruise. Historically, they have has soooo much more fun when they have instant friends once they board.

This will be their 6th or 7th DCL. My daughter Alex will be 16 and just finishing her sophomore year of high school. She gets along with just about anyone! My son will be 14 years old and finishing up his 8th grade year and heading to high school next fall. He can be a little quiet at times...it usually takes him until the last 3 days of the trip to warm up and then he can't separate from all of his new friends!

PM me if anyone has kids in a similar age range that we can get them getting to know eachother.

It will be here before you know it

Just thought I would let you all know that we won't be on this cruise - we moved to a 2010 cruise

have a great cruise

 

[Peggy Jean]

YES!!! Just booked 2 rooms a couple days ago. Long wait, but well worth it.

Well sorry to say that we had to cancel this trip, DS will be getting married in May.

But...................we were able to rebook a European cruise for 2010.
