May 24, 2014 Alaskan 9 night Wonder

[sweetlovin']

If I am being honest I'm a little nervous to be on a ship for 30 days. But I think it will be fine. I'm Thinking Hawaii might feel longer if it is round trip, since that will be 4 to five nights at sea straight

I talked to the cruise line yesterday and they said the dining schedule had not been posted yet. I can appreciate how busy everyone is - we literally do not stop the entire month of April. I am trying to do as much as possible now so I won't feel rushed at the end. Talked to some people who went last May they said the weather was 70/40 degrees.

My TA was also unable to get the schedule... And confused that it wasn't available yet!?!

I saw there was 1 9 night Alaskan cruise, I wonder if they just won't get an extra port stop

Thanks, Ladies! I wonder what the hold up is. Not that I'm upset, just curious. My other DCL cruises didn't take this long to release info and I've done 2 other inaugurals. Oh well, I guess I just have to wing it and go with the flow. I'm not very good at that, but I will try. I'm beginning to feel like I need Über Planner Anonymous. (Non-planners: Please don't judge me ) At least I have a sense of when the Pixar Party is.

Boy, it got really quiet over here. I guess we're all busy on the 2015 threads!

No 2015 threads for me. Just stupid busy.

I get the planning side of going crazy. Excursions are always my big thing, but there are still NONE listed for the Southern Caribbean

It's like the forgotten cruises

Guilty. Sorry! I booked the 12 night Baltic and I just have to say that thread and FB page are HOPPING! I think they are worse than us here

I am still here I am still waiting for Hawaii and now that I am booked for 30 days May - June on the Magic.. So I am here focused on this one for the next month + waiting for Hawaii. Since I am booked, there isn't much to do but keep up with the threads as best I can. I hope they don't release Hawaii until after this cruise because I am out of OBB bookings now.

Even if they do release it but doubt they will I would still book it and then reshop. You saw what the Baltics did! I know the Concierge 1 br at one point was only $48k but then I saw it up over $60k!!! Seriously? And guess what Concierge is sold out (well at least until those 3 day holds expire hahaha).

Yeh I do not get it either. They should be sending documents fairly soon...what will they put on them "Day 3: we are just going to wing it"? I did notice today though that the Pixar party looks more "official" like excursions. Before it was just the small black font if I recall. Maybe now that they have released the summer 2015 they can figure out summer 2014! Grrrr

It looks like about 50 posts..which is a lot! But that Iceland repo has 220!! In two days! Chatty over there LOL!


Oh I am booking something on board for sure!! Then I will kick it out to Hawaii if that comes about or EBPC. What's funny is 2016 I'm not planning on cruising at all. Maybe the WBPC if I didn't do that 2015, but I am headed to Asia and Europe (land tours) to get to Shanghai Disney, Palawan Island in the Philippines, and Thailand (And the other Disneys Japan, Hong Kong, and DLP) So as soon as I hit Platinum I am not cruising. That is my crazy life

That happened with us for the inaugural sailing to Puerto Rico. It seemed like an eternity before we finally got excursion info. Hopefully you get some info soon.

I'm one of the planning people who live by spreadsheet and calendar. While I love the PNs, I like to have the full week (or in this case 9 nights) laid out before me rather than have to wait until after dinner to see what's next for the day. I use the PNs to find character times and impromptu activities I'd like to try.

The 12 night Baltics looks like an awesome itinerary. Yay for you! In fact most of the new 2015 itineraries looked awesome to me.

at what will they put on them "Day 3: we are just going to wing it"?

I also noticed just today about the Pixar Party. It's now on the Cruise Activities Overview as "Ship Activities (1)".

I know I will still enjoy my vacation without advanced notice, but I can enjoy it that much more with advanced notice. I'm ashamed to admit I forgot about the document booklet. What kind of experienced cruiser am I? I guess I can just wait for it to show up in my mailbox and stop stalking DVC every 2-3 weeks and re-emailing myself the pre-cruise guide every week to see if anything has changed. Usually by the time the booklet comes I already have the info I need so I don't even thing about it other than as a luggage tag holder and a reminder that I'm only a few weeks away from boarding.

Yes really for me it doesn't matter the nights of formal and semi formal (that is really all they have left to put on their right?). More than likely day 2 and Juneau based on last year wasn't that what we were thinking?

PS I am so glad I'm not the only one who looks at the pre-arrival guide every other day, I just save it as a pdf though hahaha.

No judging here. I'm with you although I do have to leave wiggle room cause the family balks at all my plans. Don't they know I gotta it all figured out

Hello Everyone:

I am on both the repositioning cruise, San Diego to Vancouver, as well as this one. I booked GTY on both. I am happy to announce I was given my room assignment on the repositioning cruise. Hopefully we will get our assignments for our Alaska cruise soon.

Did you book a cat _ GTY or a IGT/OGT/VGT?

I REALLY want my room assignment for our IGT room on this cruise!!!

I didn't book a new cruise or move a dummy - for myself this time

I am waiting to see when there will be a east bound Panama Canal for next year

If there is no Hawaii, I will be on that one

 

[Marla Hellwig]

No clue about Hawaii

I do want to go back to Hawaii - I toured the ship that cruises around the islands - but I would want it to be longer than 7 nights

If you are on the July 22 sailing, they are an awesome group of people! I travelled with them on the 12 day Med cruise and it was so much fun. You will love them!!
