March 27, 2012 *SPRING FLING DOUBLE DIPPIN DREAM*

[twinmom108]

So good to hear that I won't be alone at the Donald Pool.

I saw a recent 5-day Bahamas cruise, Disney Dream Navigators posted on a current thread. The Navigators are the newletters that come out daily on the Disney cruise ships that list all the events/activities for that day. You get the first on Embarkation Day, then each night your room attendant will leave one in your room for the next day.

When we cruised with our whole family of 5, we brought different colored highlighters & each of us would highlight the activities we were interested on the daily Navigators.

Here's the link to the thread of posted Navigators:

Hope you can make it.

We will be there to meet everyone also!

 

[MandNCC]

We will try to get there for the meet, I am not really sure what time we are going to be getting on the ship as the boarding thing confuses me to no end and we are relying on Disney Transportation.
Also look what is on its way to my house!! Not sure if that is going to work it is my first time putting up a picture.

Well I am off to Florida tonight. Blue Jays / Braves game tomorrow and then we hit the parks for a week and then on to Universal for a few days! I am looking forward to relaxing on that nice big boat after running around in the parks!

See you all real soon!!!

Have a good flight & enjoy the game. Just three more days for me. Is everyone getting excited as the days are getting sooooo close?

Did I read that you can bring your own alcohol on to the ship with you? If so, do you just carry it on or must it be shipped ahead of time? We are flying and then using Disney transportation to get to the ship, is there somewhere within walking distance in which to purchase beer before to embark.

Yes you probably read it on the Disboards. Last time I went on a Disney Cruise 7/11, we were allowed to bring aboard alcohol in our carryons on embarkation day. They will confiscate it if it is in your checked luggage - just the opposite of the airlines protocol. Disney does not state that alcohol is allowed in your carry on's, so that unstated privilege could be taken away at any time without warning.

Not sure of any place you could buy beer within walking distance of either airport or port.

 

[twinmom108]

Ok I'm all packed & ready for my flight out tomorrow morning.

I may not have any interenet access so If I don't get to post, I'll see you at the DisMeet on embarkation day. at 2pm.

Safe travels to all!! See you real soon!

I will try to get there for the meet. I am meeting my best friends family from Texas, so I don't know their boarding time yet. I hope everyone has a wonderful trip! Got to pack today!

What a fabulous cruise! We had a blast. Rebooked to go to Alaska on the Wonder next August.

Thank you so much for all the amazing FE gifts! We LOVED them! They were all awesome. The kids really enjoyed delivering the gifts and receiving them. That was so much fun!

It was a fabulous cruise! The FE exchange was very fun.
I guess the Donald pool for the Dismeet didn't work to well for us. I did have a small sign I tried to hold up but most of you couldn't find it/me. Chris & Emily (cschnell) found it & we chatted for a few minutes.

Merilee, it was great to meet you & Gary in "Pink" & chat for awhile. Is your Alaskan cruise in 2012 or 2013?

We rebooked on the cruise & our next cruises are the Fantasy Eastern Caribbean on 11/2/13 & Fantasy Western Caribbean on 11/9/13. Yep, Allen & I are doing B2B cruises & we're going to have the same room as Mike & Mary (Marimorr1) had on this cruise. I was hoping to get a peek at their room & extended verandah, but I didn't get the pleasure of meeting them during the cruise.

Our dining server was Constatin from Romania & we will definitely request him again if/when we sail the Dream again.

I loved the Rain Forest Room in the Spa. Did anyone else get to experience that? One day I was in the Hot tub for 2 & to my surprise Minnie walked in & wanted to know how much I was enjoying the Spa & the Rain Forest room!

Certainly is hard to get back to reality, but not as hard when you have another future Disney cruise booked & to plan.

We came to the Donald pool but didn't find anyone there. Thanks for all the FE gifts we really enjoyed participating. I did see a few of our mesh beach bag and balls at Castaway Cay hope you all enjoyed them! We had a awesome time and are planning to rebook just need to get the finalized school calendar for next year before we can do that. Loved our hidden room and all the extra space a category 8a double port hole room gave us, we'll definitely be rebooking that room.

 

[cschnell]

We had a blast also on the Cruise. We loved the large porthole in our room, Emily spent time sitting in it and looking out at the ocean. We even saw dolphins as we pulled out of port. The service was outstanding throughout the ship! I couldn't believe all the wonderful food throughout the day. I also wanted to thank everyone that was part of FE, the creativeness and thoughtfulness of the gifts are appreciated.

We had such a great time that we booked B2B cruises on the Dream for spring break next year! It's been very hard to come back to reality.

We really enjoyed meeting you as well Sharon, and enjoyed Pink and the champange! We would not have gone there otherwise, and are so glad we got to experience it.

We did not get a chance to head to the spa, maybe next time. We had Bonny from India for a server and he was awesome! Our room host was George and I wish would could have taken him home. He was amazing! The service is certainly exceptional.

You are very lucky to be going on the Fantasy! I wish we were heading south again for another cruise, but maybe after next years Alaska one. I hope you have an awesome time!

Oh I am very jealous! I would love a back to back cruise on the Dream too! Enjoy!

Here are a few of the FE things my family (our 3 cabins) gave out....

In addition to these homemade things we also gave these little balls to the kids. Some had little characters inside and some were little princess boxes.

We handed out these cold boo boo things, I don't know what to call them (I forgot to take a photo of them). You put them in the freezer and use them when you get hurt. Our kids loved them.

We also gave away a few pirate flashlights, Easter stickers, Mater suckers, Star Wars light sabers and some Toy Story pens. We did not have enough of these things for each cabin, so everyone got something different.

I have to say again, we really enjoyed everything we received! I especially loved the Tinkerbell I received. There was no card with it, but I have a good idea who left it. And I LOVE it! Thanks so much!!!
