June 23rd 2012 - Commandeering the Disney Fantasy - Pirates back in the Caribbean

[villagesbarbara]

OK it's official - the whole gang is booked - Told you Nicole wouldn't let us go on another without her. So it's Dave and me and Heather and now for this trip adding Nicole & Mike, and their DD (9 on this cruise) and DS (7). We have three cabins all 11 GTY with late dinner and 7PM show. I told Nicole she should probably start looking out for a tiara. The little one's don't know about it yet. We kept the 8/7/10 Dream trip secret until a year before. Now that both of them can read, who knows who will spot something first.

Sneaky, sneaky. I love it!

It'll be a secret between you and Tina ( and a couple hundred other close friends!)

when are you planning on telling them?

After the Repo/Alaska cruise depending on how many others I plan between that one and this one. I'm not even sure who besides my dgs I will let come with me. My dh has a problem with vacations and money!

Hi,

We just booked this cruise. We were scheduled for a double dip in Nov 2011, but we can't take the kids out of school anymore, so it's summer only cruising for us for the next few years.

It will be me (Krista), DH, DD (16), DD (12) and DS (10). I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone over the next year and a half!

Your screen name looks familiar. Have we crusied together before? EBPC '08 or WBTA '07 or '10?

Welcome to the insanity that is about to start.

wow Darren, 8 posts already, you're really getting into this time

To all those on this cruise that don't know us Pirates, please know that we are not an exclusive group. We are looking forward to getting to know everyone on this thread. We are just a little excited because this has all come together for us in the last few days. We'll settle down in a bit.

And once we settle down, the posting will really start picking up

It would be great to travel with all the Pirates again. I am working on convincing DH to book this one. We will be on the Dream this summer. In one of those corner rooms. Hoping for the best.

Thanks!!

We were on both the EBPC '08 and the WBTA '10. We did a few group activities on each of the cruises. We were on "the bus" from the Grand Californian to the port on the EBPC and did a lot of the tastings, Champagne Girls and linked dining on the WBTA '10. I recognize a lot of the screen names from both the EBPC and the WBTA and look forward to getting more involved this time around!!

Is anyone else getting goosebumps, or even a tear or two, at the anticipation of sailing with each other again?? I am so excited. I swore I would not do another Western, but couldn't pass up the chance of an epic reunion.

Oh Monica, I think tears and goosebumps both were involved. I was losing hope we would all be together again.

Ain't that the truth!

Terri- When are you cruising this summer? We are on the June 21st 5 night.
Been around here visiting relatives lately?

Nope, we're certainly not an exclusive group - just look at who's in it. Seriously though, we ARE looking forward to getting to know everyone. We're definitely not clique-y. But I have to disagree about one thing - it's unlikely we'll settle down. More likely we'll whip everyone up to our level of energy.

Oh - we've got one of them for this cruise. Waiting with bated breath for your trip report. <-- closest I could come to someone holding their breath.

Look at this thread already You crazy pirates. I have a Dream ressie Sept 25. Unless DS and his GF come with me it will be solo. I don't think this cruise would be a possibility unless 1- I win the lottery, 2- I find someone to pay for it. How many of us are sailing?

Looks like a pretty high percentage Arlene. You're gonna have to figure out how to be there.

We will be on the 5 day double dip on Aug. 2 for our anniversary. Staying at Beach Club for a couple days beforehand. Bad DIL, I haven't been to TX in a couple of years.

Some how I never get around to posting one, but maybe this time. I hope to hear something from other reports before then.

Sure wish you would be sailing. I am not sure we will be on this one either. But it will be my 60th birthday (6/28/12), so I am hoping I can call it my birthday present.

I haven't been able to get on the reservation site to see what is available. All I get is the good ole' swimming Mickey. We may be taking my youngest DS as she should have vacation time saved up by then.

Stupid question. Where is this going to and how long? I am assuming a 7 nighter?Really have to think this one out. I would love to hook up with all of you butI really don't want to sail alone.It sucks having to pay for 2.

 

[GoofyontheHiSeas]

Anyone up for a run only 645 post to go.

 

[arlenesp]

Oy don't make it harder for me to keep up with you guys from work

Now don't start that again!! That's something we could do without.

7-day Western. I think K was looking for a roomie. If you put the word out - you're bound to find a bunk mate.
