LOL Tigger/Pooh4! I've been to St. Thomas, so I'm like been there, done that. I personally don't care where the ship goes as long as I'm on it! For me it's all about the trip, and not necessarily the destination when I'm on the Magic! Love the photos you post by the way.

I too completely agree, been there done that. I just like to take the Skyride so I can get a Bailies Bushwacker. That is one awesome drink.

 

[TIGGER/POOH4]

Awe, Tigger, I'll keep you high and dry if you're good luck then.

Also I am 6 for 6 on getting into CC and intend on extending that record to 7 for 7. Even on a rough day where all the excursions were cancelled we made it in. The interesting thing was this was in 2009 where there was no huricanes around we almost did not make it to CC.

 

[aan1701]

I am 8 for 9 for getting into CC. On the Panama cruise we couldn't dock. The seas were even worse than the pic you just posted. To bad too because the Wonder was saying good bye to CC.

Beautiful shot Dan

And as much as I'd like to step off the ship in St. Thomas. I agree with y'all that the ship is also a destination in and of itself for us. I think DH would have been quite happy on the last cruise if I had said "let's stay on board" for the whole cruise

 

[Octoberbride03]

Hope everybody has a great weekend. Going up to see my family for the 4 days Don't expect to be on the DIS while i'm there. Will be back Monday night.

TGIF

For the crazy early people. The morning sky before sunrise.

 

[Octoberbride03]

Oh wow. Crazy usually applies to my DH we will see how early he gets up on this cruise. If you are looking for an early morning coffee buddy he may very well fill the bill

Are those clouds in the lower part? They actually remind me of smoke.

Yes, those are clouds. Here is another shot that morning. Have a great time in Delaware. I'll be back on Monday.

...that'll be us! My dh will be up earlier than I am. This week at the beach, I didn't get up until 6:30 to head down, and one day a whoppin' 7:30. Ouch...felt like I missed the whole thing...You know, some of us feel like we'll miss something; while others of my fam (23dd) would rather sleep and see what happens next

Here's hoping this next 3 months passes fast!

Well Midnight Eastern time is the time I am waiting for. I hope all my fellow Gold Members get to book what they want tonight.

 

[Lauralooneyfordisney]

Wow I am jealous that you guys are able to book. Save some excursions for us lowly people who have to wait until 75 days out! I know there will be stuff still available so all will be good. I hope the Palo Brunch is still open and if not then that is the first place I will be headed once we arrive on the Magic.

 

[TIGGER/POOH4]

Well Midnight Eastern time is the time I am waiting for. I hope all my fellow Gold Members get to book what they want tonight.

This is one time being on the left coast is an advantage. You get to check at 9pm whereas I have to wait until midnight. Good luck and hope you get everything you want.

I am just hoping for Tea on Sunday and Brunch on Thursday. The tour my wife wants and the Skyride should not be sold out. Also looking at the DCL site, it seems a lot of cats. are still open which tells me the ship is far from full.

I don't think you'll have any problems booking anything you want and times you want. There are very few golds on this cruise. We are only going for a palo ressie on Thursday. I agree with you in that the entire cruise is not that full. My last cruise (10/16/10) was not full at all. At no time did the ship feel crowded. Anybody could get as many palo ressies as they wanted once they boarded the ship. On my next cruise on 6/23/11 it is almost full a year out and that is on the Fantasy with 4,000 capacity. The platinums and gold on that one are numerous so it going to a challenge to get a Palo ressie.

Agreed. Same with my next cruise after this one, Hawai'i on the Wonder. It will be my first as Platinum and from the sound of things I will have hard times getting reservations. On that one I feel bad for the gold members.

The Hawaii cruise will be a platinum reunion. good luck getting ressies on that one. Your only saving grace is soooo many sea days therefore you should get a ressie. The only cruise that sold as fast as the Hawaii was the PC cruises several years ago. We are sooo jealous. We would love to be on that cruise. But 2 weeks with kids makes it all but a dream for us. Have a great time on that one for us.

With Basicly 9 sea days I should be able to get brunch and tea, just not when I want. We will see. Not to sound negative or anything, but one reason we can take that awesome voyage is because we do not have kids. That's all I am going to say on that subject.

 

[aan1701]

Well all booked. I was shocked to see I could not get a Brunch on Thursday. Very disappointed with that. I did get High Tea for Sunday and had to settle for Brunch on Monday. Also got the excursions we wanted.
