No docs here yet! Maybe today!

Didnt get mine yet either but maybe we will get them today! (since we are both in NC)

 

[littleaussie]

We got ours on Monday - in ND.

 

[Tinked]

OK I'm still waiting.

 

[dinahfig]

Ooo, I hope so!! I need to remember to pack them this time. I forgot when we went last time. Luckily we stayed at Disney so I could write on the tags the resort gave me. I like having the luggage tags from the docs so much better!

[Tinked]

Hooray! Finally got my docs .Now I can honestly start packing.

 

[JOANNEL]

Nothing in Florida yet!

 

[LindaBabe]

docs came yesterday in North Georgia! Nice to know all the pieces are in place, although they won't be moving our luggage. We'll be in the same room from the WBTA.

Great planning ahead on your part.
We didn't think of doing a B2B with the WBTA until a month or so ago, so we'll have to move to a different cabin for this cruise. Moving from Deck 7,balcony to Deck 2 Oceanview. Not so bad, as we tend to be organized ( at least I am, not so much DH). It just takes up time to re-pack for moving. But the end result is, we're still cruising!!!!!!!

Hi, welcome! I'm sure you will have a wonderful cruise. Unfortunately, the "White Rabbit" (aka last-minute) fish extender list is closed because we are so close to sailing, but you can always see if others are interested in starting a last last minute one.

Despite all the time I spend reading these boards, it's really hard to have a bad Disney Cruise. I would recommend that you try to book at least a dinner and a brunch at Palo, the adults only restaurant. (The latter can be tough, though they open up bookings on the ship, so keep trying.) It's a nice restaurant, good service, lovely view, and worth the $20. Also, there is plenty to do on the ship on embarkation day, such as checking out the kid's club, so I'd recommend being on board as soon as you can manage.

Oh, and you wouldn't happen to be interested in splitting a private snorkel charter on Barbados, would you?

I found my answer elsewhere, thanks.

Currency information:

San Juan, Puerto Rico uses US dollars exclusively.

All the ports of call except Barbados use the Eastern Caribbean dollar (EC$), and the *official exchange rate is EC$2.70 to US$1. Barbados uses the Barbadian (aka Bajan) Dollar at BBD$2 to US$1. US Dollars are widely accepted, but not always at the official exchange rate.

I would say make sure you make a reservation before the end of the cruise for your next one! lol! You know you will wanna!! You will get 10% off the next cruise and stateroom credits for the next cruise. Even if you book any date and then reschedule later, you will get the credits and discount as long as you sail within 18 months of booking the original reservation.
