Official May 17th Alaska Cruise Thread!

I have never used Hotwire, is their advantage to waiting to reserve a room?

"Pirates of the Inside Passage" sounds really cool!

 

[magicimaginear]

Well, we are flying out of Atlanta on Sunday using buddy passes so I'm not going to book a room until last minute. I know that some on the others on this forum are going to be staying at the Best Western near the pier. Maybe one of them can let us know which one and how much. Hotwire works great if you don't mind not knowing 100% which hotel you will get. There is a forum site call bidderbidding.com I believe and it we help give you an idea of what you might get. You can save about 75% on the 5-star hotels.

Three votes for Pirates of the Inside Passage (including myself) is it possible to change the thread's title to reflect the name??

Just got off the phone with DCL.
I wanted to confirm once again with another Cast Member what is set for each night.

Here is what I was told:

Day 2: 18th: At Sea
Formal Night (Golden Mickeys)

Day 5: May 21st: Juneau, AK
Pirate Night

Day 6: May 22nd: Ketchikan, AK
Semi Formal Night

All other nights are "cruise casual".

About Pirate Night: I mentioned how Pirate Night is set for Saturday night. I mentioned to the CM that Pirate night should be on Friday, or as my wife had mentioned, on Thursday night. Since the movie debuts at 12:01AM on Friday! However, the CM told me that Disney is known to move Pirate Night based on an event happening, like the movie debut.

If a few more people like it then we'll see if we can get a mod to change it

Does anybody know of a reasonably priced hotel in Vancouver? We will be staying there Monday, maybe even Sunday. Thank you.

We are staying at the Best Western Downtown, the cost when I booked was $125.00 per night and has free transportation to and from the port.

Ok so it seems that everyone likes the idea of calling our cruise on May 17th

"Pirates of the Inside Passage"

Correct???

If any mods are watching this thread... Can we get the title on our Meet's thread changed to

"Pirates of the Inside Passage - Alaska, May 17-24"

Thanks

hey everyone,

I sent a message to a mod to see if we can have the threads title edited.

Also I'm think about designing a shirt for my DW and myself. It would be an iron on with a navy blue long sleeve shirt form hobby lobby.

I figured navy because that the main color of the Wonder. If anyone didn't know that ship is actually a really dark navy blue, red, white, and yellow.

Let me know if you're interested and I'll send the photoshop file to who ever wants it.

Hello Everyone!
We booked about 2 months ago and I just found all of you! This is our first Disney Cruise, but I have a feeling it will not be our last. I am cruising with my husband, and 2 boys, ages 22 months and almost 3. Anyone else out there traveling with small children? I have learned so much on this thread, and now am more excited then ever!
I just got my room assignment 3 days ago, we were on a guarantee, and got moved from a cat 9c to a 5a, so the cruise must not be full.
Cant wait to see you all!

 

[F&A]

We just moved from a cat 9 to a 6. There are lots of rooms open. DCL is now offering restricted reservation for verandah rooms for only 280 more than a ocean view. We have been upgraded before the week of the cruise so you still never know.

Surprised the packets still haven't come.

Nick - sorry, we still haven't gotten into the FE festivities. We usually veg out on these cruises.

Does anyone know if they are doing a high tea at all or if it is really just sold out?

I'll begin working on it later today... if anyone has any suggestions let me know. I'm thinking a small mickey pirate head on the maybe with a name on it and then somehow having the wonder and some snowcapped mountains around it. Maybe add a pirate flag to the ship.

I would love to see it
