Just 3 - no pull down bed.

I saw pictures of that room (On the Dream!) It was great! Will definitely be a bonus to someone!

Forgot to say, I'll be releasing a coveted 8A "mini-suite" room #5522 if someone wants to grab it. Should be available sometime tomorrow when the TA makes the switch!

So is anyone an "expert" on those rooms? I saw the video you posted several months ago, and thought the room looked awesome, so we booked one for May 2014. You are saying this one only has room for 3, no pull down bed. The description for the room says it sleeps 3 to 5, "Queen-size bed, single convertible sofa, wall pull-down bed (in most) or upper berth pull-down bed (in some)". There are 4 in my party, does that mean they would have put me in a room for 4, or should I be concerned? (I booked online.) We are in 5518 on the Fantasy. I would love to have some peace of mind that one of my kids won't be sleeping on the floor. I mean, they will still be on a cruise, and probably wouldn't care, but for what I pay, I would rather they have a comfy bed.

Sorry - I already in subscribed to this thread. The 8As on deck 5 sleep 3, and the 8As on deck 6 sleep 4 according to room reports and TAs. I'd call DCL to check to be 100% sure. We it have 3 so it's not an issue for us.

Thanks for your help! We have 4 people, so I didn't check these out either!


We may be joining you too Silverfox97 on the Southern Caribbean! Looks like another great itinerary during our anniversary time! If we do the Southern, we will be keeping this Western too! Yay!!!

I'm thinking about booking one of the Double-Dip cruises on the Wonder that ssanders79 wrote about in his Blog, but I'll probably wait until this cruise to take advantage of the onboard booking discount. I really want to sail on the Wonder so that I've sailed on all four DCL ships.

I called today, and they assured me that there was bed space for 4 in my stateroom.

Yay! That's a relief!

We need to still do the Dream for a grand slam! Not sure if we will ever get on it, lol!

We did the Magic in 2007, the Dream in 2011, and will be doing the Fantasy for this cruise, so I must at least try to cruise on the Wonder too, and the Double-Dip in Oct 2014 would be a great one to get my Grand Slam.

 

[kendzee94]

Okay peeps....I'm not as technically inclined as Ssanders, so I don't know how to put it online, so this is as technical as I get,

Please PM me if you should be on here and aren't or if there are any mistakes. Thanks!

Our info for the FE is correct! Thanks for adding us!!!!

I could not find the FB page that was set up for our cruise. Does anyone have the direct link???? Thanks!

All this cold snowy weather in Massachusetts is making me think of warmer weather! Paying off our cruise this week & also discussing shore excursions! Anyone go on excursions not organized by Disney????

I think we made our decision to not go outside DCL for our excursions. My DH is just too worried

We decided to do the Chacchoben ruins in Costa Maya, Dolphin Extreme Swim and Turtle Farm in Grand Cayman, and Xplor Park in Cozumel

 

[abitagirl916]

We haven't made up our minds yet about what excursions we will take, but we will use DCL for any we decide upon. I know they usually cost more thru DCL but I like the piece of mind it gives me about making it back to the ship on time.

That's exactly my husband's reasoning....even though I showed him Native Choice's great reviews on Trip Advisor!

I guess I'm paranoid about it but I figure if it keeps me calm & relaxed, I'm good. And that's why I'm cruising anyway.

We might see you at the turtle farm! I think we are doing a different dolphin thing, because DD is only going to be 6 and my mom doesn't swim, so no "extreme" for us! LOL!

We will only be doing DCL excursions. This is our 3rd cruise, but I think I would just feel safer booking with Disney.

You're added, Is Jordan male or female? (so I can update the kids section) Thanks!

I'm worried about the "extreme" but I guess I will take one for the team, YIKES!!!! How can I tell my child no when she wanted to back in 2007....it better be open by time we book, or else someone will not be happy!

 

[scorp111]

We are still undecided about excursions, but will probably start looking soon.
We did Chaccoben with Native Choice on a previous cruise, and had an excellent time.

We keep going back and forth as to what we should do this time around....
