Just back from the 5-5-05 Wonder...any questions??

[la37]

We just got back from our first cruise on the 3 day Wonder. It was amazing. We loved it and can't wait to take another cruise. It is very late and I'm going to bed but please feel free to ask any questions and I will try to answer them.

What was your favorite part of the cruise. We leave on May 26 for 3-day Wonder. Also, was there a pirate night and which night was it?

Thanks so much. I'm glas you had a great time. We are very excited.

I have been on the 7 day Magic, but not the 3 day Wonder. I am sailing on the Wonder in July. Does the gift shop have the silver anklets for $5?

 

[BethC1952]

I haven't been on Wonder since December, but they had the anklets then! I'm wearing two of mine now.

Do you have the navigators available from your cruise? I would love to see them

 

[la37]

Pirate night is the second night of the cruise after you leave Nassau. There is not a pirate dinner on the 3 day but the pirate party is wonderful. They don't do the pirate dinner so that everyone can fully enjoy all 3 restaurants.

I saw jewelry in the gift shop but was not purchasing any of it. So I'm sorry but I do not know if they still have the anklets.

I have all of the navigators but I have not unpacked yet. As soon as I find them, I will scan them into the computer.

Any other questions, please ask. I will be checking back periodically.

How did the new rotation go ?

 

[la37]

We had TAP and it went fine. I enjoyed all three restaurants but Animators Palate was my favorite. Our servers were wonderful. We had Pearl and she made us feel so special. I can't remember the name of her assistant.

What I meant was how did the new rotation work out with the multiple dinner times?

 

[sdptalk]

Can't wait to see the navigators when you post them. I am curious as to what movies are playing and what activities are planned. We were on the 4 day a few years ago and we are eager to see the changes that have been made.

 

[la37]

The movies that I can remember are National Treasure, Ice Princess, Incredibles, Life Aquatic, Pacifier, and Pooh's Heffalump Movie.

There was nothing for the 50th Anniversary or Mother's Day.

As far as multiple dinner times, there was an early dinner at 6:00 or late dinner at 8:30. I hope this answers your questions, if not please ask again and I will try to go into more detail.

The multiple dinner times don't start until the 6/12 Wonder cruise, I think.

how much did you tip?

 

[la37]

On tipping, we went by the recommended amounts and put that amount in individual envelopes before we left so we wouldn't have to worry about it on the cruise. Then when it came time to give out the tips, we had received such exceptional service from a couple people that we went back and added extra to their envelopes. I would never tip less than Disney recomends because the service is great on the ship. Your every need is met and everything is wonderful.

I was also on the 5/5 wonder. I had so much fun. It was my first cruise. I really felt the boat swaying on our last night. Did you feel it? It was after midnight, and I was a little worried. I was ready to pull out the life vest ( it was my first cruise). My family slept through it. It is normal to have some swaying?

Also, my son loved the kids clubs! I couldn't get him to leave until they closed. It was truly amazing. Did you have kids in the clubs?

We also really enjoyed the pirates party. The food was great. How about the desert table! Oh, and those pina coladas hit the spot too.
