Nov 20, 2011 Dream - 3 Nights

[Wondermom1965]

Can't wait to get on the new ship, don't know if I can wait till Nov. This will be our 3rd Disney cruise. We did the FE's on our 2nd one, so much fun. We would love to do it again this time. I have a question. Our other cruises were 4 day, this is a three day. Do they still have the Pirate Party on the three day? Can't wait to meet you all. We will be DW(46), DH(44), DD(10) at the time of the cruise. Oh, my DD really got into pin trading because of the cruise, so if anyone is interested, they usually have it every evening around 7pm. I'm sure we will be there. She got plenty of new ones at Christmas and is getting them ready for trading. See you all soon!

OOO mY DD absolutely loves pin trading too!! At WDW it was a sport to her!!!


Did I see someone say they would work on coordinating the FE?

 

[hdmeza]

FE's? anyone...WOW I am way toooo excited November is SOOOO far away!!!

 

[Fivepin]

I am hoping to book this cruise with the next month or so...We are already booked and ready to go on the Nov 17th 2011 cruise right before this one..We are going to be in Orlando from Nov 5th then head to Port to do these back to back cruise's! We will be in for the FE as well.....

That will make at least our two families doing the 17&20 B2B.

Now 3 families

Will there be an FE exchange? Can't really plan for this cruise at the moment, but always good to know in advance. There are around 77 cabins(can't remember the exact amount of people) participating for the MV on 1/26.

That sounds like a plan to me. Just let us know what information you need. I have participated in many FE exchanges, and they are all so much fun, especially for the kids. Mine liked going back to room every night to see if they got any new goodies. They also like to pass them out. If it's a big group, I divide up the list, and my 2 oldest go off together to deliver. They get a kick out of roaming the ship without their parents.

A little meet n greet sounds great, kind of tough since there's no sea day, but it would be nice to meet everyone and take a group photo.

Off to get the kids to school.

OK, if anyone would like to particpate in the F.E, just PM your dis name, each person's name in your cabin(s), stateroom number(if known), and all ages of children. I hope we can get more people involved!

Thanks.

Shall we just go ahead and declare this the nurses cruise?

Just booked this cruise while on a 5-night Double Dip on the Wonder (Jan 3-8).

Had to pipe in as I am also an RN, though currently a stay-at-home (when not vacationing) daughter, keeping my 81 yo dad company (mom died last year with Alzheimer's). I can catch a newborn and take care of those in comas - hope neither of these things happen while onboard.

Scheduled to cruise with my DNiece (15) and DNiece (18) - who will be on Thanksgiving week break from Auburn U.

Getting impatient to cruise...all this snow is doing me in! My baby boy turned 21 today . How does this happen?? I am only 21 myself???

Wow how many nurses do we have on this cruise so far???

 

[mnrhannah07]

Any more interested people in doing the FE? We have 5 families included already, We are off to a great start with 10 months to go!

 

[hdmeza]

Well I for one feel good knowing that nurses will be everywhere!!! Can't be a bad thing!

 

[brianjoy81]

As of right now, my family and mother will be traveling along with you fine people! I have never cruised, but have had trips planned, only to not have them pan out. But, hey, what's life if it doesn't mess up your best laid plans?!
The group will be, me, Joy, DH Brian, my 3 kiddos and my mother. We are taking her along to help with the kids, and she has never been on a vacation like this either. Having never cruised, I have never experienced the FE, but I would sure love to hop on that bandwagon. Here's to only 10 more months and lots of planning and anticipation along the way!

 

[GoofyMomInOhio]

Wow, there are alot of nurses on this cruise and a sheriff too! We would love to participate in the FE. My DH is a chemist and I work for the food service dept for our local school district. Can't wait to meet everyone!!

 

[J&C's Mom]

I have dreamed of being a cruise ship nurse..... Actually last cruise I had a man in front of me in line for buffet get lightheaded and dizzy...we had to sit him down...get him to breath right till the real medical staff got there...thank goodness they were eating in the buffet!

Well it's official...started back to weight watchers...always have to lose weight before I go on a cruise...always gain big time! We usually go on 7 day cruises and I can gain 9 pounds in that week!

That's funny, I started back with weight watchers at the beginning of December and have lost 6 pounds now...Pretty good considering it was the holidays and what not! good to know Im not the only one to lose before vacation so I wont be upset if I gain a few back!!!
