Just got back yesterday!

[jimilla]

Hi,

We just got back from the 4 night Wonder yesterday--Had a blast.

I'm not one for trip reports, but some quick highlights:

--Pirate night with fireworks is the greatsed thing since sliced bread.

--I can confirm it is on the Castaway Cay night.

--A catagory 11 worked well for us -(2 adults 1 child) - most of the time I used the rainforest room before dinner so I showered there.

--Once again our daugther LOVED the club-(spent a little less than half the time there and half with us.

--I think heaven might look alot like Castaway Cay (but with more Hammocks).

--I can also confirm the underwater Mickey is not there.

--If the rumer is true and they do replace the Herculease show, I will miss it.

--By far the best desert on the ship is the Mickey Ice Cream bars, (not just for kids but for me too).

Thats all, time to start planning another one.

Sounds like you all had a Wonderful time..

I can not agree with you more about CC, but even more about Pirate's Night..


Anxiously waiting, for time to pass.

Glad you had a great time! We'll be on the April 24th 4 Day Wonder & can't wait...and I agree with you Castaway Cay is awesome! *Mickey Bars are the best!!! Cathie & The Gang

The rain forest room is part of the spa, you can get a 1 day pass
$15.00, I think) or a pass good for the entire cruise (at a discount). It's like a steam room with aroma therapy built into it. I did it a least once a day.

If I had one at my house - I might never leave.

jimilla, did you save any of your navigators? do they list the different spa packages and prices???

 

[Sheriff Woody]

I was on the same cruise with Jimilla. The navigators don't list regular spa prices, but the spa runs daily special packages which are listed with their prices.

Did very many people dress up as pirates on pirate night? We're going in June and I thought it might be fun.

Several kids did dress up, not too many adults. They now sell pirate costumes in Treasure ketch (the on board gift shop), so I think that helps.

There were plenty of kids with hats, swords, and hooks that they also sell onboard.

We're anxiously awaiting our first cruise ever in May and my husband is already trying to figure out his pirate costume......oh yes, he'll make sure the kids & I have something too.... He's just loves an excuse to make a costume of some sort. He'll be one of the few adults dressed up. Who knows, he may get mistaken as a CM.

What hours was Scoops open? Last time we sailed they had extended their hours and were open after dinner. I noticed from some winter Navigators that they had limited their hours again. Please tell me that as the weather has gotten warmer and days longer that they are again open late!

What a blast - we were hooked after our first 4 night in January 2005 and started dreaming about planning another one as soon as we left the ship. We have now booked a 7 night...It is not until November - cannot wait.

I'm hitting the local Salvation Army to put together pirates costumes for DH and I - I figure why let the kids have all the fun.

Sure, that is kind of what I did. We went to WDW before the cruise and while at the Pirates of Caribbean Ride they had tshirts on sale with the ride pirates on them. We also got our daughter a pirate hat there.
