Just checking to see if you'd found this forum. Be sure to meet the folks that you make friends with on here. I met 3 families out of the 5 that were with me last week. We loved them and our children were "fast friends" from the moment we met up with them at the Radisson pool pre-cruise. We had a 3 p.m. Meet the first day on deck 10, enjoyed the sail-a-way party together, and did pool-waiting most every day. The kids just bounce from the Mickey pool and slide to the Goofy pool. Just like little homing pigeons, they'd return every now and then to change pools or get food/drink.
Oh a tip about food/drink....the pizza, hotdogs, burgers, ice cream, fruit, etc. on deck 9 are included in your price, as is the beverage station on 9 aft.
If you go to the movies, take food and drink from there instead of buying refreshments outside the theater.
They put out cookies and brownies at 3:00 daily near the beverage stations.
I didn't find that till the last day when we were heading to see The Pacifier.
HTH,
Melanie

Thanks for the great advice! Q on the deck 9 food: Is that available throughout the day? Lunch? afternoon?

We just booked this cruise. It wil be DH,me,DD14 and DD6. We were on the Magic April 2 of this year and can't wait to try out the Wonder. For those of you that it is your first cruise, you are in for an awesome time. Has anyone heard about a Halloween party? I had a friend go a couple of years ago and she said there was trick or treating and a party. I wonder if it takes the place of the pirate party. Let me know if you guys know anything about it.

We are cruising with you as well. There's me, DH and DS (6). We will be part of a larger group. Our family is going to WDW to attend my nieces wedding and then about 25 of us are cruising together.

As far as pirate night goes, I was told by DCL that Pirate Night would not be on Halloween.

pacercolt and nicksmom916 ... welcome! Glad to know other DISers will be on this cruise. I'm a first time cruiser. Really looking forward to it. I am wondering about the halloween party or what dress clothes I should bring. I'll certainly bring nicer slacks/shirts to wear in the evening. I know I'll need a jacket if I want to go to Palo. Any thoughts?

We will also be on this cruise. It will be me, my DW, DS(15) and DS(7). This will be our first cruise! We are looking forward to Halloween. We are glad to finally see others going on this cruise. One month to go!

One month to Go!!! Welcome. It's my first cruise too.

 

[CrazyCruisingFamily]

Just booked the cruise on Tuesday. We'll be sailing with DD6 and DS4. Sailed on the Wonder with extended family back in '03. Last family cruise with DD and DH was Sept '04 on the Celebrity Century.

Anyone been on a Halloween cruise before? Has anyone thought about trick or treating? I am planning to bring some H candy and will participate if we can. If nothing formal, perhaps we can get some DISers to have an informal T/T route?

We are all very excited!

Hello Everyone! I can't believe it took me this long to find this forum, but this will be our first cruise ever.

I'll be traveling with my DH (he and I are in one stateroom) and MIL and DS (7) and DS (1) will be in another. We are so excited!!!!!

I too was wondering about Halloween festivities. A good friend at work went on a Carnival Cruise last year and said there was trick-or-treating on the ship. Oct. 30th is also my older son's birthday and the travel agent seems to think he'll get some special treatment.

So nice to "meet" you and thanks for the tips. I think they will prove invaluable to first time cruisers.

We're getting ready to book this cruise (WooHoo for FL resident rates!). We are:
Me, DW, DS12, DS10, DD8. This is DW & my 6th cruise and our kids 3rd - 1st 4 day for us though!
