Can anyone who has cruised recently confirmed whether football is available Sunday evening and Monday night? Diversions maybe?

They do a great job of keeping all of the available sports on. There will randomly be some black out games, same as you would find at home, but Diversions will have several games on. For big games (SuperBowl or BCS bowl), they usually play in Diversions and on the big screen by the goofy pool.

Thanks! When we cruised last fall they had no games on Sunday as they only had limited channels. All we got was NASCAR.

Does anyone know what movies will be playing on board this cruise?

I know they are currently playing Toy Story 3 in 3D in the main theater. Also, Prince of Persia and Sorcerers Apprentice were also playing as of a couple weeks ago.

FYI for anyone who cares - As noted on another thread, apparently Captain Henry turned the ship over to the new Captain Marco (formerly of Carnival Cruise Line), so he will now be our captain. He originally was not supposed to take charge until December.

I hope I am completely wrong, but I am a little concerned about the possibility of bad weather for our cruise. I know you cant control the weather so dont worry about what you cant control right? Lets hope if it does come north it stays away from us. We have all been waiting soooo long to take this cruise I would hate it to be affected in any way.

I have been watching the weather and I am a little worried about our weather too! Has anyone ever been on a cruise that was affected by weather?

It's still too soon to tell, but I'm not worried about it. The long-term forecast shows Port Canaveral as partly cloudy/partly sunny the 3rd, 4th & 5th. It shows Nassau as 60% chance of scattered thunderstorms on those days. No forecast for beyond that yet, and of course this far ahead it may change. Although anything can happen, I'm not worried about tropical storms or hurricanes as they all seem to be steering clear. We could get rough seas, but the ship handles those quite well. If you don't, take Bonine (non-drowsy Dramamine) daily, maybe even starting the day before we sail. Couldn't hurt. Ginger root pills also help.

Storms can affect deck parties (would be moved inside) and of course island time or excursions. That can happen on any cruise, any time of year. Just keep your fingers crossed, don't worry and BE HAPPY! DCL will take care of you.

I AM NOT WORRIED AT ALL. The weather pattern indicated for at least through Sunday is completely typical for this time of the year. If you go to the NOAA website, there is really no threat whatsover for any issues beyond a little rain, again completely typical for this time of year. We went on a cruise last year at the same time of year and had a little rain but it did not affect much at all.

The only thing I'm concerned about is whether we'll be able to swim Sunday when we get on board or whether it will be raining. After that, I trust our Captain to find the smoothest seas possible.

Just got a little concerned after watching the Weather Channel with them talking about the tropical low down in the Caribbean possibly moving north into the Gulf or Florida at the end of next week. Just tell me I am worrying too much. Just dont want our flights down or the cruise being cancelled thats all. I'd hate to have to tell the kids the trip is cancelled, but I am optimistic that wont be the case.

I think it would take a lot more than a tropical low to cancel a cruise but hoping everyone's flights are not affected!

 

[Jonaussie]

Well we are flying from Alabama so even if they cancel our flight for some reason we could still drive down if we had to, but that would be a last resort. I dont like the idea of a 12 hour drive.

 

[ambria193]

Hi all:
Our fly is the 3rd at 4:00 am arrived to Orlando 6:30 am , I'm checking the weather for that day is good for now

You could hitch a ride with us! We're driving down on Sat from HSV.

 

[Jonaussie]

Ha we live in HSV too. Well Madison actually. We are supposed to fly out Sat from HSV direct to Orlando. Good to know there is another Huntsvillian on board. Actually there is probably a few folks from our area on this cruise since its fall break for the kids.

Exactly! Send me a PM and let me know what cabin you are in. How old our your kids? Our DD is 4.5 and already a pro Disney traveler. Adding a couple nights at Bay Lake Tower afterward for MNSSHP.

 

[Jonaussie]

Sent you a PM. You are so lucky to do the MNSSHP afterward. We wanted to do that as well but our return flight is on the day we get back into port. We tried to change that but it would have cost us $300 just to change our return flight for the 4 of us + accommodation + food + event tickets for 4. I couldn't justify $1000 just for one extra day. We would have don't it for sure though if the airline had not charged the re-booking fee.
