I googled "old personal navigators" or found them on Disboards or Passporter (can't remember where) and everyone I saw mentioned a ship tour at 2:30. It was just one of those "meet at such-n-such location for a tour of the ship". Since we are newbies too, I thought it would be good!

Maybe we'll see you there!

11 more days!

I think that would be awesome - we will be sure to do that too - then meet up in the Promenade Lounge.

I am so excited - I am getting my own nerves. God bless my friends for having to listen to me carry on and on about how excited we are.
I got all the FE stuff done yesterday and the kids suitcases are packed. Yep - ready to walk out the door....in 9 more days. LOL!!

I did see this in the boards today: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2404965

About how weather played a part in changing a port, similar to the issue the Magic had a few weekends ago. We ended up cancelling our GC excursion and were going to maybe plan something else once we got onboard.


YIPPPEEE!!!! We are almost there!!!!!

We are getting more excited as each day passes. I am on call this weekend at the hospital and the only thing helping get through thurs-Sun is knowing that the next weekend we will be cruising!! Ahh

Ethan has some things in his suitcase already and is wheeling it with him though the house. It does NOT leave his side. I think he thinks he needs to be ready to go at a moments notice LOL.

Now, do you guys know if we will be able to break away from the tour in order to do the meet and greet at 3pm or how long the tour takes?

well I have never done the tour even on my first cruise didn't do it, but from looking at all my past navigators it says the tour on the first day is from 2:30pm-3:15pm, so you might make the meet or you might not, who knows one trip the meet I went to lasted till 5 minutes before the lifeboat drill and another cruise it lasted about 15 minutes at the most

Hi Guys:

We booked last min do to the hubby being deployed to Afghanistan. Late to join the board but really really excited.

It will be myself (cathy) Hubby (greg) and 7 /12 yr girls (kylie) and 3 1/2 girl (sammie).

We are all so excited..my husband says i have now become a disney cruise addict.

I am looking forward to meeting folks at the DIS meet if we can. Would love to find some girls the same age as mine so that they can know kids prior to going to the play areas.

I hope we make it to Grand Cayman. We love to snorkel there. We did not like Nassau much, we went there instead of Cozumel last year (swine flu). It looks like there is a big front moving over Grand Cayman right now, maybe it will be out of there by the time we get there. It is snowing here so we can't wait to get to warm weather.

[disneyrunningmom]

interesting thread with the GC diversion....
we're planning on swimming with the dolphins at GC. would be disappointed if cancelled but DCL would keep it safe for us. As a cruise newbie, I'm terrified of seasickness, so anything to avoid sea swells is ok with me!

Hope everyone has a great cruise!! I wish I was sailing with you all, but circumstances didn't allow. So we will be sailing on the Wonder on March 7th. We are staying at CIS on saturday so we plan to take pictures of the magic and hopefully watching it leave port.

Just wanted to stop by here and tell everyone to have safe travels and a great cruise!!
