Looking for info on 4 day cruises

[Bacon Bits]

Hi all,
Looking for info as to the seatings and excursions......for 4 day cruise ...heading to CC and Nassau. Our family consists of (DW, DS18, DD17 and DS12). Haven't found alot of info on these 4 day cruises , guess they're not that popular. We wanted a Disney Cruise and this was the only we could come up with on such notice. We're using our DVC points and have cruised before (w/o kids) on Celebrity Century. Going on 7/17-21/05 on the Wonder. Just looking for "insider" info as to what seating is best for us. Planning on ordering the REAS package as that we'll be celebrating alot of milestones here. So, appreciate any and all advice from board readers! Thanks in advance.

Hi...


We went on the 1-2-05 4 day wonder cruise... our first.

Early seating worked for us because we were used to eating early plus it was less crowded than the rest


Had fun... I spent my time at the teen club and it was alot of fun... and the clubs are good... if the 12 yr old is close to 13 then they will let him into the teen club...

Wish I could help more...

Erin, my 12yr old (will be 12 in June) might like the Teen club...but I don't think the teens onboard would be "ready" for him! LOL Gonna let him try it on a "trial" bases first maybe .... We got stuck on the second seating and all of us are early birds....but we're on the waiting list for the first, maybe we'll luck out. Thanks for your reply you helped alot by letting me know that the clubs were pretty good, my other teenagers will probably like it...

No prob...


Also what is good is the Who wants to be a Mousekateer... it happens every day and is alot of fun foir a family... but not on your own...

Also... kind of early to say this but when u get on the boat and head to aloft...ask for Dan , he is a big help...

Thxs again Erin, will look for Dan at the "aloft", or at least have the kids do that!

Someone who recently went on the Wonder put all the Navigators in Ppf format.

I just got off a 4 day Wonder cruise. Our group experienced two of the Disney excursions -- Caribbean Queen snorkeling at Nassau and the Ardastra Gardens/Zoo at Nassau. The snorkeling could be a hit with your children's age groups. There were lots of teens on our excursion. I thought it was pretty good. They were decent at instructing first timers and it's a nice boat ride out to the reef. If you're bigtime snorkelers or scuba people, it's probably a bit tame.

My parents and DD6 enjoyed the gardens, but I doubt that would fly with teenagers.

The Magical Disney Cruise Guide http://allearsnet.com/cruise/cruise.shtml
and the Passporter guide have lots of information for teen activities. I hear the banana boat rides at CC are a huge hit. Hope that helps.

Really appreciate the response, that site you recommended was great! Thanks, looking into getting that Passporter Guide. Heard others speak about it on the CruiseCritic board. Gonna get a copy ASAP.
