Just got off the Wonder and booked this cruise while onboard. This time it was just my daughter and myself celebrating her graduation, but the whole gang will be here on this next cruise. It is myself, DH, DS (22), DS (20), and DD (18). We will be in two different cabins on Deck 8. We have not been on the new ships before but love the Wonder and the Magic. This group looks like fun and I am so excited to begin planning!

In case you don't know what to send I need: Room Number, Any kids (Their names and ages)*, Adults (names), any celebrations or important information (allergies) and how many households** in the room.

*If you're uncomfortable giving your child's age or name that is ok I just need to know if there are any kids and if they are boy or girl.
**Households: For example in my room there are 3 households My grandmother, my Aunt and myself. We live in different houses and not together.

JnDRader - It looks like you are going on the cruise that we just returned from. The weather was perfect and we had a blast. Castaway Cay was especially fun. Enjoy!

We did enjoy although our itinerary had us hitting Grand Cayman and Cozumel. sadly, no Castaway Cay this trip. In recovery mode !

Yep, made a stop by Hell. Kids loved the turtle farm and stingray city too. Overall great time in GC. We all commented that it's a place we wouldn't mind going back to. Diving was nice in Cozumel. Strong currents though which made it very difficult to get good shots with my GoPro. Just moving too fast.

 

[Princess_Kayla]

That's great!

 

[JnDRader]

Drove for a field trip with one of my daughter's friends who will be going on the cruise with us. As I start backing up she announces "399 days until the cruise!" Glad she's as excited as the rest of us.

 

[TinaRN]

Well, it's official. We are now booked on this cruise!!! After initially booking online a dummy cruise, then changing to an Alaskan cruise, then finding finding out our DS will be starting his Masters program during that cruise time, we changed to a different Alaskan cruise. We then decided we would rather do Alaska with another cruise line and we didn't want to spend as much money (with having to fly also) next summer, so we chose the Eastern Caribbean! Whew!

This will be our 3rd Disney cruise. We did the Eastern Caribbean on the Magic in 2004 and the Western on the Fantasy last year. My DH and I are 44. We have a DD who will be 17 on the cruise. Our DS and his GF will be 20 on the cruise. We will be celebrating his graduation from LSU! Our room is #8586. I would love to join the FE list. I'll send you a message., Kayla. Thanks for doing it! And I'll send a friend request to FB for the group!
