[Burr]

Anyone going June 3rd?

 

[Burr]

Wow are we going to be by ourselves?

 

[DonnaDavid]

You're not getting that lucky - I just booked it too. I would prefer to do a 7 nt but since it's not available this summer, I'm going with the 4 nt . This will be our 3rd DCL cruise; me, DH, DD (13), DS (10), and DD (6).

 

[Burr]

Cool I was starting to think we were going to have the thing to ourselves. This will be our 2nd DCL and I guess we will have to take our 14 & 9 yr old.

 

[roliepolieoliefan]

We just booked also. Can't wait. We haven't cruised DCL in 7 years.

DH , myself, DS(9) and DD (3)

 

[DiznNut]

We're going! YEAH!!!! See you there! DD9 and DS 13 will be enjoying all of the fun for their age groups. Can't wait until June 3rd!

 

[LVSWL]

Count us in, DH,me,DS(16) and DS(12) Can't wait!

 

[LVSWL]

Maybe the boat will be empty, we will have our choice of deck chairs, no waiting to get an ice cream cone, no wait to use the internet, think of all the photos they will take of us since there will be so few people on board, maybe we will all get upgraded to the Walt and Roy suites

Surely there are some more fellow cruisers out there..

 

[DiznNut]

We can only hope it will be empty. We want the Walt Suite, you can have the Roy! HAHA!!! What part of NC are you from? We are from the foothills.
My kids are so excited to be going on another Disney Cruise. My DS will be 14and my DD 9 when we travel. They don't want to leave the ship. Last time we made them get off at Nassau, but we agreed it they didn't want to stay on the island, we would go back to the ship for lunch and stay. Guess what, we stayed on the ship and had a blast.

 

[LVSWL]

We are from the triangle. We are wondering what we will do off the ship. I have read alot of mixed reviews about Nassau. Just glad to be going.

 

[Burr]

Triangle................Go Heels!!!!!!!

 

[LVSWL]

Triangle................Go Heels!!!!!!!

Go Blue Devils!!!

 

[Burr]

Oh no, I'm gonna be on the open sea with the enemy!!!!

 

[LVSWL]

At least it won't be during March Madness!There is no telling what might happen. I can't believe that there aren't more folks going on this cruise. I wonder if Pirates of the Caribbean 3 will be playing on the boat since it comes out right before we sail. Anybody know?

 

[DiznNut]

I hope Pirates of the Caribbean Part 3 will be on too. Last time we were on the ship we didn't get to go to the movies, but I would make an extra effort to go to see this movie. Can't miss out on Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom.

You mentioned earlier about what to do in Nassau, on our first cruise there we just wandered through the city. We shopped a little while, went back to the ship for lunch and decided to stay on the ship. This was the perfect time to be on the ship. On our last crusie (RCL), we took an excursion to Atlantis and it was beautiful. This trip we haven't decided what we will do. I would like to take an excursion of some type, but I think they are pricey. I think I would like to take the kids to the Pirate Museum and we can find that on our own. We saw it last trip just wandering down the streets and it isn't a bad walk. After a couple of hours on Nassau, I think we will head back to the ship and just relax and have fun because I am afraid it will be very hot there in June.

 

[LVSWL]

Well, we will keep our fingers crossed for the movie! We saw POC 1 on the Eastern several years back when it first came out.
We aren't sure whether to do an excursion or not either. We did one in St.Thomas that was fantastic, a couple in St.Martan that were ok. I just keep reading such conflicting reports about the area and walking around. It makes me a little uncomfortable. I wonder about the weather too, we cruised in the winter before.
It still looks like this boat will be kinda empty.....

Hello fellow cruisers! We're booked for this cruise - the first cruise for DS(11) and DS(9). We're sitting here tonight anticipating some sunshine since it's been 33 degrees and raining here all day today.

We've marked our calendars for when our payment is due to take advantage of CC. Gotta make my payment by March 2nd!!

Can we get the kids to e-mail one another so they'll know someone in the clubs by the time we get there? Let me know if anyone else is interested.

Counting down!!

 

[LVSWL]

We are really excited too! Good to know another disser is aboard! We aren't sure if our kids will be doing the clubs. They are 16 and almost 13 and didn't do the clubs on our last cruise when they were 9 and 13 but a couple of times. They enjoy the pools and playing ping pong and basketball and just hanging out and the shows and since this is a short cruise they might skip the clubs. I'll let you know if they change their minds. Welcome aboard!

 

[DonnaDavid]

Welcome aboard, GA. We've had unexpected snow in OR and I'm ready for something different also. My DS is not the best of e-mailers, but perhaps we can trade info with each other as we get closer to the cruise to find out what they have in common. This will be Jacob's 5th cruise (we're actually cruising with Carnival in March), and I do get frustrated that he doesn't go to the kids' clubs more. He does better if he makes a buddy to hang out with.

As for the Nassau day, I stayed on the ship (except for a brief walk in the Straw Market) the only other time we've been there . This time I'm planning on reserving a room at Atlantis and spending the day on the slides. It appears that people are reserving rooms for less than DCL charges for 5 people to do one of their Atlantis excursions.

I wouldn't be going on this cruise if I didn't think that Pirates would be showing in the ship's theater. I've already researched what happened last summer and it appears that they started showing it on the ships at the same time as it premiered in US theaters.

Wishing everyone a bit of sunshine and warmth!

 

[Burr]

Well it looks like business is picking up around here. As far as the kids clubs go in Dec 05 we had to beg our (DS12 & DD8 at the time)to spend time with us. We could barely keep them out of the clubs. They are very excited about them again.
