Hello Everyone,

It has been forever since I have been on the boards. I can't believe that we are leaving so soon. I am not even ready yet!! Traveling on this sailing is myself, DH and DD (10). There are some friends of ours that will be traveling with us as well.

We are doing the B2B with the sailing just prior to this one. I have a couple questions about the B2B....do we have to get off the ship? If we do, how long before we can reboard? Is there enough time to do NASA between sailings? Any advice would be great.

My DH and I are both in LE and I saw someone post about exchanging challenge coins. That would be awesome!

Looking forward to meeting some of you.

Hello! Hope all is well with you and your family! We are also doing a B2B with this cruise and the next one (11/20)..This is what I heard about B2B, as this is our first B2B as well; You do have to get off but instead of leaving after you go through customs, you take the escalator back upstairs to the terminal and board the ship again not too long after you return to the lobby. I would think you have time to do Nasa in between, you can leave the building at around 830am and you have till around 2pm(just to be safe) to return to the terminal, I think that is plenty of time if that's what your family wants to do!

Pam,

I will bring several coins with me. I can't wait to get some coins from the Pacific Northwest for my collection.

Thanks so much for the info about getting off and back on. We might just do that to enjoy the Aquaduck! It was just a thought to go to NASA, but I heard that it is really an all day event. We will see what the DD wants to do.

 

[StJohnfamily]

I will be off to find some coins....they are kind of a new thing out this way. I did see some a couple weeks ago and will try and get my hands on a few.

Can't wait to get our's!
Was wondering since we went through a TA, will she get them first and then have to send them to us?

We got our's too!!!

No, even though you used a TA, your documents will come straight to you! We used one last time

Got my cruise docs yesterday.

It's all so real and so close now.

I should get the other docs in the next couple of days. Can't wait.

When is the FE cutoff?

 

[mnrhannah07]

I was thinking the Oct 15 so people had time to get their gifts together, but what does everyone think about keeping it open until Nov 1st since the group is so little..If we do get anymore people, I doubt it will be more than a couple families! Right now we are only at 4 families! Anyone else on the board want to join that hasn't already? Let me know what you think about leaving it open..Thanks!

Cruise docs here, too! It does seem a lot closer once I have luggage tags in my hand.

I'm hoping the 2013 dates will be out soon. Would like to rebook onboard.

How's the weather on CC in November? I'm not sure about swimming, but would love to just lounge on the beach and let DD(5) play.

This will be my first time at CC in November. I'm thinking the weather should be quite nice.

A few years ago, we were on CC during the second week of December, and the water was a little chilly, but you got used to it quickly & it actually felt great (the air temp was probably in the low 80's).

 

[mnrhannah07]

we sailed last november and it was perfect weather! I think it was in the low 80's for both nassau and CC

Got my docs today. Can't believe it's only 1 month away. Nov 1st cutoff for FE is fine with me.

 

[starchild_217]

Got mine as well!

Wooooot!

 

[4butlers]

Looks like our cruise docs and our Mickey mail are here too! But they did actually go to our TA. So I'll go pick them up tomorrow!!

 

[callicourt]

My DH (Josh) and I just got our cruise documents. It's his first time on DCL and I cannot wait for him to be spoiled rotten!

 

[pandacruise32]

It actually is our first cruise ever. Thought we would try a shorter duration cruise to begin with to see if we would enjoy it. I have a feeling we will!

First off I like your username! I am a big tinkerbell fan while my boyfriend is a big Pluto fan as well as a Disney Nut!! I have cruised before but on Carnival. This is my 10th cruise overall and my first Disney!! I am taking my boyfriend on his first cruise ever! I totally enjoy cruising and you get more than you pay for in my opinion. I am looking into do the Vacation Club membership but not sure as yet if I am. We recently stayed at the All Star Movie and Cornado Springs resorts for some alone time and loved it. After this cruise we are staying one night at the All Star Music Resort. We both are annual passholders and go to Disney at least every other week if not more.

We have a deluxe family suite with verandah on this cruise and i like the fact that there is a bath tub in the bathroom. We do not have any kids as of yet just us. He is 25 while I am 32! Well hope to meet up with you on board.

Welcome Aboard!! You're going to love cruising with Disney!! I have done 13 already-5 without the kids. The last one without the kids was the Baltic 2010 and we bought DVC then, wondering why we didn't do it sooner. I got it wanting to use it more for cruises, but we stayed at Old Key West last month, and now we're spoiled!! If you have any questions, just feel free to ask. They really don't pressure you at all!

 

[Kim&Chris]

Wow, it's hard to believe this cruise is only a month away. We started planning this trip back in the beginning of 2010, and the time flew by!

For my husband and I, this will be our 7th DCL cruise. I've cruised Carnival in the past, but he's only ever been on DCL. So he's spoiled now

Well, gang, this time next month, we'll all be relaxing on a ship that, HOPEFULLY, will be decorated for
