May 2, 2014 - A WONDERous trip through the Locks WBPC

[aan1701]

Doing laundry while on a cruise is not something I would put at the bottom of my list.
It beats too much luggage, washing things out in the sink or paying to have someone else do it.

Different strokes for different folks.

? As Ricky Ricardo says, "'splain please"

Right. Different strokes. Since we flew SWA 2 bags each. None of the four were overweight. No washing in the sink and we did not pay for the service. So we had zero laundry till we got home. Just the way I like it.

Hi Everyone.The DW and I have been busy lately and I haven't had time to post. Transferring all my videos to hard drive. Wow what a job. We are going to Branson this week for the holiday week and will try to post some pics of the Ozarks. Love the mountains and Table Rock lake. Great to hear that everyone on the WBPC had such a great experience. I expect some post reviews on t he board about the cruise. Carry on.

Have a wonderful time in Branson! I'm only 1 1/2 away near Lake of the Ozarks

Hi. We booked this cruise onboard the WBPC a couple of weeks ago. I am Marilyn, and my husband John, are seniors(65 so wrinklies) but inside we are still pretty young! We just loved it so much and everything suits us so well on this cruise. Hopefully we will be there.

You are all in for a treat on the WBPC cruise.

This will be our 4th PC with DCL and the prior ones have been on the same ones as Alan(aan1701) though we have yet to meet. This last one has been the best one of the 3 and I don't know what they can do to top it but we hope they will do of course. I am looking forward to Key West again but like Alan we like to stay onboard on port days. We did do a private tour by Dora in Cartagena which was really good and I am so glad we have seen the place. I thought we would never go back so decided a tour would be worth it. We did feel very safe though the street vendors can be a bit of a nuisance at times. I can recommend her tour if anyone wants to book one. Everything worked out well and you set off before the DCL tours though you do come across the larger groups at times around the town. You can read some testimonials here. http://www.cartagenatour.com/cruiseshiptour.html

After disembarking we spent 4 nights in DL and are now in New York for 8 nights. Taking things easy just now but still managing to walk about 9 miles a day so far!

Who knows Marilyn, maybe we will meet on this one.

336 days 'til embarkation

It's quite a bit of time to wait...but we'll forget all of it when we see the ship in Miami! Hope everyone is well, stay cool this weekend.

Hello everyone! I am hoping to join everyone on this cruise! I currently have a Med cruise booked for next year that I was planning on doing without my kids! After weighing a couple of things, I asked my inlaws if they'd be willing to watch the kids in May instead of June and I got the tentative okay! I was on the EBPC last December and it was truly my most favorite cruise! I'd love to do it again, only in the opposite direction!

It is official! Bobbiwoz & DH are booked! the 20% discount sealed the deal!

We thoroughly enjoyed our 14 night EBTA, we got off the Magic just this morning. If anyone is interested in joining a Candy Swap, I would be happy to organize. The idea is to bring candy from your local area, state or region for everyone participating. It works like the FE. We had about 11 participants on the TA, and we enjoyed treats from all over!

Mention here if you are interested as well as PMing me, in case I miss the post.

We did a private chocolate, alcohol tasting with a Disboard group on the TA, it was worthwhile!

Can't wait for this 15 night cruise!!!

It is less than a year, that's an improvement!

Yay! Bobbi is home! It sounds like you had a wonderful cruise.
I'm glad to hear they are still offering the 20% discount. We cruise on Fantasy in 2 weeks, hopefully we will get it too!

As it gets a little closer to the cruise we can figure out if we can do swaps and such. The tastings sound great!

I'm so glad you're 'on board' with this cruise.

PS Happy Anniversary

Just wanted to say I was able to rebook this cruise on the WBPC with the 20% discount.

Sounds really fun. I have to research what TX is known for. I used to love Clark bars when I lived in Pittsburgh. Yummy! a fun idea, that I know the boys will love.

Count us in!

I'm hoping the same offer is around when I am on the Fantasy in just 3 weeks!

We saw your town on the map last night - looked like very severe weather in your area. Stay safe! We should ask our kids to make paper chains - to count down the days 'til they're reunited with their tablemates

I am thrilled to "meet" you; your Pixar & EBPC TRs were very helpful! You should bring your kids on this one, too!

Should be. It's not selling well. Nice to cruise with you again even though we never met.

Welcome! The 20% was certainly helpful! I think ImDMous is coordinating tastings, and chocolate is a GREAT idea. We weren't thrilled with Mixology last month, but we brought a nice bar for our room

Yes the 20% off is nice. Still I am holding out hope for the airline employee rate.

Hi there

Just letting you know that we may or may not be on this cruise. My dad has just had emergency surgery to save his life. He has a highly aggressive brain tumour and he has been given 6-12 months . He of course was the reason why we were contemplating this cruise.

I am absolutely heartbroken at the news and will have to see what happens in the next few months. Devastated.

 

[aan1701]

Oh my, I am so sorry.
