October 13, 2011 3-Night Bahamian Cruise on the Dream!

[Wendy&Grumpy]

First day on the boards but my second official posting(have a question in the DCL forum).

Will be joining everyone on the 13th. Happens to be my birthday but believe it or not that is merely a coincidence on this trip. Purpose of trip is mom and dad's 50th wedding anniversary on the 14th. It will be my sisters and parents first ever cruise and air flight. Talk about sweating out the details.

Welcome! Which Fantasy cruise wil you be on in April?

 

[Wendy&Grumpy]

My docs arrived by fed ex today I am already starting to bore my work colleagues with Disney talkThat doesn't usually start until about a week before, but they know what I'm like and attempt to show some interest

My coworkers enjoy my love of all things Disney!

I've actually already convinced two of them to book Disney cruises - one took his family on their first cruise on the Dream on 9/1 and is now planning his next!

Can I help it if my Disney love is contagious?!

If we meet in the terminal, you can sneak me in the luggage I always wanted to try a B2B.

I have been anxious to try an Eastern voyage but it never lines up with school vacation week.

might put it back later but I don't want to get in trouble. so we will see.

My solution for that is to leave the kids home!

I apoligize for the trouble of this, but I just upgraded 2 of our rooms.

ckcurtis(2) - Kim & Brent (adults), Olivia 14, Sydney 7 - cabin 6500
ckcurtis(3) - , Natalie 13, Hallie 11 - cabin 6504

this was the previous reserverastion. I am booked now on a Verandah GTY so just as soon as I get the new room number for these 2 rooms I will let everyone know.

Thanks
Kim

Thank you everyone!

You got our cabin! We were in 7170 in February! If you find a Dream windbreaker down behind the couch, it's the one we lost!

I was following your other thread - did you end up having to pay $250 each to upgrade?

OK Kim - you are all set.

 

[MODisneyfan]

WOW It just seemed to hit me that a month from today we will be returning to port on the beautiful Dream!! I'm so excited for all the memories that I 'm sure that we all made!

For the 2 rooms that were 9A GTY we did pay the $250.00 upgrade, but for my moms room she was in 8C so her's wasnt that much to upgrade. We are so very happy with the new rooms, (I mean don't get me wrong I'm sure we would have been fine in the other rooms, but when you pay this much we should get what will really make us happy) well within reason i guess, I mean if that was the case I would be staying in the Suite.. but that will never happen... (can't afford it) So we decided that upgrading to the Verandah room would be a great bonus for the kids and they were able to get all our rooms beside each other so that was even better. ( My mom & Dad are disabled) so this will help make it easier on all of us. (originally they were on the 5th floor and we were on the 6th)

So how did you like the room 7170? I seen it has an obstructed view, was it really bad? This is mom & dads so I'm sure they will be happy with anything. Dad says a storage closet will work for him.. Just as long as he is on the ship.

I'm sorry that you had all the trouble with cabins, but you're gonna love having a verandah! We slept with the verandah doors open and were in heaven.

The obstruction in 7170 covers almost the whole left panel of the windows/door and the top of the middle panel. However, we found that by moving the curtains from the right side to the left side, the obstruction was almost hidden and we had a great view out the other 2/3 of the windows/door! (There's a hook & loop type clip at the top that anchors the curtains to the right but it's fairly easy to unhook once you see it and we had no problem hooking it back in before we left either.)

Also, if they didn't tell you, 7170 has a connecting door with 7168 and the verandah wall can also be opened up to connect.

Oh, and we loved the location... right next to the elevators that go up to Cabanas!!

[MODisneyfan]

Is anyone interested in having a scavenger hunt and meeting onboard
