I am going to be on that cruise too

It is my honeymoon - so no kids for us yet The cruise is a wedding present from my fiance's parents.

We are from Huntington, West Virginia. We are driving too because I am just too scared to fly.

We are doing the Land/Sea and are staying at the Polynesian before the cruise. We are in cabin 6096 on the ship.

I have never been on any cruise before but my fiance has cruised 2 times but never on a Disney cruise.

We are both really excited about the cruise

That's cool, we have a couple of newlyweds and some families. I am sure there will be LOTS more too of all of us!

 

[CBEPPERSON]

WE ARE GOING ON JUNE 9 CRUISE, TOO. MY HUSBAND AND ME, BOY 16, BOY 13 AND MY DAUGHTER, 10. HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE. MY DAUGHTER WILL BE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO HANG OUT WITH. SHE HAS NEVER MET A STRANGER WHEN IT COMES TO FINDING A PLAYMATE. SEE YOU SOON.

 

[nestlejean]

CBEPPERSON, Great, sounds like your kids are close in age to mine. My 10 year old daughter will be glad to have a playmate too! I hope the 16 year old girl finds some her age and my 14 year old boy isn't too worred about it yet. Mainly the 16 year old is afraid everyone will be too young for her. They will (hopefully) hang out in the clubs, coffee shop, whatever and have a good time. I signed the teens up for the teen junkaroo in Nassau and the teen adventure in Castaway Cay. I hope there are others their age on it! Mainly, if they have fun, we will have fun.......I think we all will!

 

[nestlejean]

bump, anyone else??this is a big ship....

 

[nestlejean]

got my documents yesterday!

 

[fortwilderness]

Wow, just yesterday ? I got mine around 2 weeks ago.

I guess I was lucky

 

[briternik]

We will be there too! It will be me, my DH, my daughter is 15 and my son is 9. My daughter is really hoping there will be alot of teens on board. I don't think we will be seeing much of her. We are from Arkansas. People usually pick up on our accents right away.
What is the Nassau teen excursion? I thought it had been cancelled?

 

[Diana Lyn]

We got our docs around 2 weeks ago also, it was so exciting!!

Has anyone gone on the Dolphin Encounter at the Blue Lagoon Beach or heard anything about it?

Diana

 

[nestlejean]

The Teen Junkanoo Jam is for Nassau. The kids are on boat and there' music & whatever stuff teens like. It's for teens only. I prebooked it and they let me. She checked to see if it was going on and she said it was. I guess we'll find out if it's not when we get there. We also looked in to the Dolphin Encounter. It was already sold out. You may be able to book it through the individual tour. I tried but te site wouldn't go to it. There was a number to call but I didn't try it. We just decided to go to Atlantis instead. We also booked the Wild Side for the teens at Castaway Cay. It's where they do kayaking and things like that together or a few hours. I thought it would be good for the teens to do stuff with other teens and then havesome time with us. Too much time with us will make the trip BORING.... or something like that!

 

[nestlejean]

bump

 

[briternik]

I guess you were right! I just called DCL and was able to book my daughter on the Teen Junkaroo. She will be so excited! I am positive that I read on here that it was discontinued.

 

[fortwilderness]

briternik -
You aren't crazy - I know that I saw someone post that the Teen Junkaroo had been discontinued too I even remember the thread said it was because kids were misbehaving on that excursion or something like that.

By the way - I noticed you are from Huntington Arkansas - I am from Huntington West Virginia. Neato huh ?

Diana Lyn -
I haven't been on that excursion but I have seen pretty positive reviews on here about it. It may be worth going on I am just going to be lazy on Nassau day. We are not buying any excursions and are just going to explore Nassau on foot for a little and then just go back and enjoy the Wonder

 

[nestlejean]

Just bumping up this post to see if there are any others going. The time is fast approaching now. Are you soon to be newlyweds getting nervous?, excited?, apprehensive? Good luck, hope the "big day" goes well!

 

[fortwilderness]

Well since you asked nestlejean - I am going insane trying to get ready for everything going on in my life

I have been trying to do laundry and pack for WDW & the cruise- we are leaving for Florida on the 2nd so I have to go ahead and start packing. We have also been very busy moving into our apartment and trying to get all of the loose ends for the wedding finished. My wedding is at 12:30 on June 1st so I have very little time left to get everything done. We don't even have our marraige license yet After this past month of constant stress I really need a vacation

 

[Diana Lyn]

Nervous? I feel like I'm just about ready to jump off a cliff! It's not even the wedding/marriage part I'm nervous about, it's the packing for 2 weeks that is killing me. I have to get all my wedding stuff and vacation stuff crammed in the car before we make the 20 hour trek!!

Other than that--I can't wait to take this cruise!!! I've never cruised before and my friend just got back from the Wonder 3 weeks ago and is making me more and more excited for all the fun!!

I hope we meet up on the cruise, I'd love to meet you guys!!
