May 28, 2009 Wonder Cruise - Anyone Else?

[ldalvarado]

We never saw Up on board. Either we were too tired, or we were doing something else. I thought the times they were showing the movie were odd.

In any case, we saw HM (again) on board. I think it was the Saturday show, since CC was kind of a washout. We stayed on the beach until the wind kicked up after lunch and the kids said they were cold.

I definitely miss all the waiting on and attention, not to mention the cold drinks and yummy food.

Okay, I'll admit it, I've got the cruise bug bad now.

The 5 day specials next summer with the double stop at Castaway Cay are looking really good to me. We loved Castaway Cay even though it rained on us part of the day.

Sent in a request for a quote. We'll see what comes back.

Though I don't think I can talk DH into another one for a couple of years, I'm still curious.

We looked at those too. We would go by ourselves though.

Where did you find info on the specials? I looked at the disney cruise website and couldn't find anything.

Count us among those who got bitten by the DCL bug with the 3 day cruise -- I'll bet Disney gets a lot of future business off of the kids sail free promotion!

Regarding the cruise, we had a fabulous time -- we all loved "Up" (and I cried, too!), which was nice because both of my kids wear glasses and typically have a problem w/ the 3D glasses, which give them headaches, but both were fine w/the upgraded glasses at the show. I liked Disney Dreams and the 1st show a lot, but we didn't do the 2nd since we had seen "Up" a bit earlier in the day and we didn't feel like sitting through another show. We did the stingray feeding on Castaway Cay which was fabulous -- the rays kept swimming around our legs even after the feeding was over! And we took a really nice bike ride around the island before the rain came.

Glad everyone had such a great time and thanks for all of the FE goodies!!!!!!!!

Hey Everyone - glad to see everyone made it home safely and that you enjoyed the cruise. 3 nights was definetely not long enough.

I just booked the 5-night, 6/22/10 cruise for me and my DD as a HS graduation present. Since she will be going off to college in the fall, I thought it would be nice for us to spend some time together. While onbaord we re-booked for 11/27/10 for DH, me and youngest DD. 2 cruises in one year - I'll be in heaven.

We saw the premiere of "UP" - Dh and DD liked it - I feel asleep and gave up half way through - I'm a morning gal, not a night owl. Did see Hannah Montana though. We wanted to see Earth but never made it.

Disney Dreams was our favorite as well.

Many thanks for the FE gifts - that was a highlight of the trip - my DD had so much fun giving and receiving!!

Not any special prices yet though......my quote was over $3000 for a cat 11 so I'll wait and see (more than 3x what we paid for this 3 night).

We had changed our sting ray encounter to 11:00 and they ended up canceling everything from 11:00 AM on so we didn't get to do it. We still had a great time though.

A few pictures. Just wanted to say that we had a great time and it was so wonderful to meet all of you!!!!! This FE was great fun! Hey to all our dining buddies (early P/T/A) don't you miss the great service? It was great to see each family at dinner in the evening!!!!

I'll try to add more pictures later.

Anyone else on facebook? I've loaded some pictures there as well. Look for me there or PM me. It would be nice to keep in touch. Who knows, we might end up on another cruise at the same time again.
