Hey guys, my mom and I are going to be on this cruise, its our first cruise so we are both excited and nervous.

Hi there IwasatWDWforamonth (that's quite a mouthful!)!
to the cruise!

Me, neither. You're right, should be anytime, now!

Anybody given any thought to a short get-together onboard? Say maybe a meet-n-greet in the Promenade Lounge at 3:00 pm or so on boarding day? Just a thought.

Sounds good to me! (Not having a clue where the Promenade Lounge IS!)

Welcome IwasatWDWforamonth!
And how was it to be at WDW for a month?

Promenade Lounge is on Deck 3 (the same level you board on from the terminal). When you board the ship the CMs greet you in the Lobby Atrium right in front of Triton's dining room. They will tell you to go on over to the Parrot Cay dining room for some lunch (or you can go up to the Beach Blanket Buffet, which is my choice). If you walk straight across the ship from where you are greeted there will be a hallway that takes off to the left down the port side of the ship. The hallway takes you past the Promenade Lounge on the way to the Parrot Cay dining room. Promenade Lounge is spread out along that hallway and it's also the location of the Internet Cafe. It's a convenient place to meet and has been the location of DISboard meet-n-greets on other cruises. Another option (if you want an outdoor venue) that has been used in the past is the secret Deck 7 overlook. Just depends on what everyone would prefer, indoor or outdoor.

Sounds like a good idea.

I am new to DCL so I may be telling you something you already know. We were wondering why we haven't received our documents and it is now 23 days until we go. I called DCL and found out that since we did the online check in we just have to print those documents. I actually knew this but didn't know we wouldn't receive something. They said that about 14 days prior we will receive the DCL luggage tags and the Bahamas document. I also call the airline booked by Disney to get our seat assignments and they were already assigned too. Easy.

I haven't receved by documents yet, and I didn't do the on line check in. I haven't booked DD airline ticket yet, and I seem to remember they asked for that info (I should go in and look again) so I figured I had to wait until that was done. I'll let you know when mine arrive.

We're all getting sooooo excited. Everyone I mention it too says they're heard it's a wonderful cruise line.

Hi Debbie and Bryan !! to the cruise!!

Have you booked any excursions?

 

[Debbie1967]

Thank you for the warm welcome

We may go to cable beach, but I don't have any excursions planned. We have so much fun and relaxing time on the ship that we hate to leave it except for Castaway Cay.

Hi Debbie and Bryan

Welcome to our cruise meet. My DD will turn 9 just before the cruise. Happy planning.

 

[tekmnky]

All I have seen is our flights added. Anyone get their docs yet?

DOC'S CAME TODAY!!

Did you check in online or no? I was told no docs when you check in on line. Just luggage tags 2 weeks prior.

I checked in online. What I got from UPS was a DCL envelope containing the Bahamas immigration form, luggage tags, a checklist w/directions on where to find the DCL Welcome Center in Orlando Airport, and just a portion of the normal cruise documents that covered the "Important Messages" about boarding policies and DCL ground transfer information. Basically, the same as you were told when you called in.

This is different than I've been used to in the past. On previous cruises I have checked in online and still gotten the whole cruise document booklet. This my be the way it's going to be done from now on for online check-in.

Matters NOT! I'm cruising in 17 days!!!

Still no docs here! I just e-mailed my TA. She had sent an e-mail that she was going on a cruise before mine and wouldn't be around, so hopefully I'm catching her before she leaves. I'm a little concerned because I put my office address for them to be mailed to. We're never home during the day and I hate to have stuff left at out house.

Finally book DD air, but am paying more than I hoped to. Still hoping SW will have a sale.

So, when is everyone arriving at port? I told DH we should arrive early, and he said why? I said cuz that's what most "experts" say - more time on the boat! I'm not sure he thinks more time on the boat is really a good thing. We have drop BIL at the airport on the way. Unless we drop him 2 hours early, we'll probably get to port around 11:30.

Layed out the clothes last weekend. I'll start ironing this week. Getting VERY excited!!!

 

[belle26]

Still no docs here either. Maybe tomorrow! We'll probably get to the port about 1:00, by the time we get the shuttle back to the airport from the Best Western, then get the bus from the airport to the port. Haven't physcially laid out the clothes yet, but in my mind, they are already in the suitcase! Only 2 more weeks!
