I noticed you are from Texas. Anywhere near DFW area? I have MANY relatives in those parts.

We actually live in the DFW area. We are in Keller, about 15 minutes from Fort Worth.

We were on that Baltic Cruise too =)

I have relatives in Keller, and Hurst, and Bedford...you name a town around the DFW area and I have at least one relative there I'm sure. I'm from Ft Worth, but currently live in Missouri. I think you guys are having a much worse winter this year than we are. It's crazy!

I am posting a bit premature, as we haven't booked it yet so it isn't set in stone, however I believe it will be booked tomorrow possibly? I am a major Disney Freak!!! This trip will be my grandmother (Loraine) and I (Lorena), she has been on many (7~ish) cruises (none were DCL though ) but this will be my first, can't think of a better first cruise I will have just finished going through chemotherapy a couple weeks before we leave so it will be a good way to re-coup hope to be able to confirm this soon, as well as adding another ticker to my sig

Yea it will be a good way to celebrate it! It's been booked so we are for sure going!!! We wont know our stateroom until we get on the ship though I believe we are booked category 11C at the moment though, hope to see some seals! Been looking at my grandma's photos from older Alaskan cruises, should be fun! Looking forward to doing some planning!

We just moved from the June 28th cruise to this one
I am looking forward to getting to meet everyone.

Welcome! Adding you to the first page!

Hi everyone,

I just moved our cruise from Jun 21 to June 7
hope you can follow that it got a little hairy there.

Julie

Welcome! Yes it did get a little hairy there! I'm going to try to add all of that to the first page.

Yea it will be a good way to celebrate it! It's been booked so we are for sure going!!!

Welcome! I will add you to the first page!

 

[pixie3]

Okay! Please look at the front page and let me know if I have anything wrong! I was copying and pasting like a fool!

In addition, let me know if you would like to participate in the fish exchange and I will put a blue FISH next to your name! (I'll also definitely need a room number if you plan on doing FE)

Thank you!!!!

Thanks MR cruise was great

OOps! I missed you, but now I gotcha! Welcome!

We did Panama Canal crossing with MR once. I loved MR!

They may not have Pirate night, but they will do something!!!

How was the Dream? We are so excited and can't wait for the next week and a half to fly by! Only bad news is that we just found out that our daughter will be having surgery the day after we get back from our trip. She tore her ACL and miniscus at volleyball, so it will be a little slice of heaven and then surgery. Ugh!

I forgot to tell you that we are in room 2512. Thank you for adding us on the first page to the list of people on our sailing. Looking forward to Alaska!

Susan

Well you are probably on your trip already! As you know by now, the Dream is wonderful! Hopefully they have ironed out some of the kinks! I hope you didn't have too much of a hassle getting on or off! Did you ride the Aquaduck?

 

[ldconley]

We were on that Baltic Cruise too =)

Oh, yeah, I thought your name looked familar. I remember it from the FE list.

I see that you did an MR in 2008 too. We were on the June 8th one. Just wondering if we were on the same one then too.

Too funny that is the same cruise we were on. We didn't participate in the FE for that cruies as I just found these boards while researching our Baltic Cruise.

Family's first cruise....doing the June 7, 2011 DCL Alaska Cruise and we are so excited. We're not letting the kids know what we are up to. Might actually try to surprise them if we can keep the secret long enough. Going are me - Megan , DH - Jeff, DD - Brenna (turns 9 on cruise), and DS - McGreevy "Mac" (5).

First time posting to this thread....definetely interested in doing the fish extender.

 

[*tinker*bell*]

I would love to participate in the Fish extender! I dont know my stateroom number though we might find out a bit before the cruise? we have a garantee room and I'm not 100% sure how all that works I will give stuff out though either way it sounds like a fun little thing to do and I have LOTS of time on my hands!

Welcome! You will love it.

We are in a GTY room also. You usually find out your room number a few weeks before your cruise (after you complete all the online check-in paperwork). The only way to know if you've been assigned a room yet, is to periodically check your reservation on the website. Like magic , one day a room # will be there instead of GTY. We'll be waiting for ours too. So we should all be finding out around the same time.

That really is just too funny. It actually gets stranger. I saw your post on the poll about if you would do a FE. You said that you had a Winnie the Pooh FE and one other room did too. That was us. Ours was the one that got stolen. Our daughter was in A Winnie the Pooh's Christmas tail at our local community theater several years ago. She played Eeyore. So, I had to go with a Pooh themed FE.

I am so sorry that people gave you a hard time and accused you of stealing ours. I did not know they had done that until I saw your post yesterday. Ours was just a cheap mass produced one that I got off ebay. Since yours was a handmade one, it was much nicer. I never even thought about someone thinking that was ours. I was telling my husband about it this morning. He was just glad that someone did not turn around and take yours and hang it on our door thinking that they had found ours. That would have been really bad.

I will probably go with Pooh again this time around, but I will make sure it has our name on it this time so that there are no mix ups.

Awesome! I'll put you down for FE! You'll have a room number before the cruise - no worries!!!

This is the link I used http://disneycruise.disney.go.com/special-offers/kids-sail-free-alaska/ This blurb says it goes until May 24th, but the KFO special code works on the June 7th sailing.

 

[lenzs4]

Yea!! Called and got the kids sail free applied!! They started to tell me how I could not use it because I booked onboard and we could not combine offers - DUH!! I will give up my onboard credit for a $2000 savings!!!
That just paid for my excursions!!

No worries =) I did feel like knocking on your door a few times to say "Sorry about your FE, but really it wasn't me =)." . I just kept thinking IF I were going to take something like that I certainly wouldn't hang it outside my door for the whole world to see . I also thought of putting a note on ours saying No really this is ours. lol. But again, no worries, we are fairly easy going people and ultimately just got a good laugh out of it and a new story to tell, We are using the same one this year, our name is on the back but maybe I should personalize it some.

Yeah!! Congrats. We ended up saving so much money by switching our cruise (and downgrading our cabin some) that my DH let me book the Aug 16 Dream Cruise too. I would gladly have a downgraded cabin and do 2 cruises this summer. I loved my verandah but am not a cold person, so not sure I really wanted one in Alaska anyway. Hopefully I don't regret the decision too much =)
