Hello,

Does anyone know where I can get commentary on the various staterooms on the Wonder. This is our first time sailing on the Wonder. We usually cruise on the Magic.

Thanks.

The link above lists several stateroom reports. They give great info about the different staterooms, noise level etc..

The Wonder and Magic are pretty much the same in terms of noise etc.. due to the identical architectural layout of the ship.

TexasGIRL there is a room right now on DCL website

Ack!!! I hope the TA is checking regularly. Oh well, hopefully she'll come through with cabins. They are both a family of 4.

I think we'll do FE too. Big Red I'll PM you info.
----------------------
We are about to get our cruise fix in 10 days when we sail Carnival. Yeah. I'll let ya'll know how it goes. Then I'll really obsess about the MR since it will be the next one up. I'v already pored over excursion suggestions over on Cruise Critic.

I hope it goes well on Carnival, would like to hear about it. I have been trying to talk DW into a cruise on Carnival or RC and she just won't do it. afraid she will be disappointed....

We have cruised Carnival before. Wasn't too bad. We caught ourselves walking around saying things like "Disney would never let that happen!" Normally on CCL we can afford a balcony. On Disney we can't. Our first CCL was on The Glory...yuck. Too big. The next was on the Legend....loved it.

I am in the process of trying to find plane tickets. I am trying to talk a guy out of his Southwest vouchers. I think he has enough for my whole family. I would have to pay the $50 to have them issued in our names and then he wants $100 on top of that....so for the four of us it would cost $600 to fly from Nashville to LAX....that is a steal!

I don't think we will participate in the FE. My dd's aren't interested in that anymore. I hope everyone has a great time.

Off to work for me......have a great day!

Hope

I have created a Closed facebook page for the tweens & teens on this voyage...please, no one over seniors in high school, and no one that is not on our voyage. It is a closed group, so all members must be approved first, and content can only be seen by members. Parents are allowed, but as observers not participants

http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/group.php?gid=126252247414641

This is so the kids can get to know one another before sailing! It is brand new and empty right now, but if I know the kids in my groups it should be hopping in no time.

Hi - we were Parrotheads, but didn't really know it. It was our first cruise and my husband had just found the DisBoards right before we cruised.
So we are very excited to be sailing with you again and experiencing the cruise the DisBoards way.

Dicecatt - my daughter just asked to join. There wasn't a place to put a message explaining who she was so I wanted to let you know here.
Thanks for setting it up.

That's really cool. I sent the link to my son, Jacob Blair. He'll join. He LOVES the Stack and hanging out with the kids on the cruise.

Well, great! I guess I can't hide it from my dd's now! They need to join the FB page I will have to tell them!!!!

I thought your screen name was familiar. I had a AliRon on the Parrothead cruise list. Is that you with a new or modified screen name? We called it the Parrothead Pirates cruise because the vast majority of us are huge Jimmy Buffett fans. BTW, he's on live now ... Radio Margaritaville on Sirius 31!! Under the Big Top!! Saw him in Nashville the night of the great flood. Got out of Nashville just in time that Sunday morning!!

 

[Dicecatt]

FYI on the Kid's facebook page...since there is no way for them to send me a message when they request, it works well to post here or to send me a PM like another parent just did, that way I know. If anyone sees someone that shouldn't be on, please let me know...I have added another Dis mom as an admin so she can keep an eye out too. So far there are 19 and the kids have started chatting...seems like there will be several 11 and 12 year olds!

Yep, that is us. DH is still aliron and I became aliron682 when he got tired of me posting on his account.
I am a Parrotheads daughter. I grew up with everything Jimmy Buffett. It rubbed off on me though too....love, love, love Jimmy Buffett. I need to let my dad know about the live performance (he's probably already listening).
We'll have to hit up one of the Margaritaville restaurants in one of the ports (hope there is at least one along the way) and help you find your last shaker of salt.

Unfortunately, Our lost shaker of salt won't be found on this cruise unless we take a detour to Honolulu or Glendale AZ. I'm game for that but.....

Is a 10 yr old considered a tween?

Hope we don't have any trouble with Volcano's while I'm having a Cheeseburger In Paradise!!!
