Official thread for Sept. 21 Wonder!

[Wishing on a star]

OMG!!! I wasn't that worried about the Hurricane until now... It had been forecast to hit down in the Caribbean later this week... But it keeps just taking it's own sweet time.... I just checked the forecast projections, and looks like this thing is heading further to the North towards the Bahamas!!!!

I'm a little more worried now, too, but let's try not to panic yet. Here's the hurricane website: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ and a map: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ftp/graphics/AT13/refresh/AL1303W5+GIF/100923W5.gif

Check out the Nassau weather (10-day forecast) this week: http://www.weather.com/outlook/travel/local/BFXX0005?lswe=nassau&lswa=WeatherLocalTravel&whatprefs=

Where is everyone? Busy packing? Busy checking on the hurricane?

 

[Wishing on a star]

Both!!!!



I sure hope this hurricane keeps bearing to the North and misses the Bahamas!!! I would hate Port Canaveral to be hit!!!

 

[jordanyosh]

pretty much glued to the weather channel when i have time. hopefully, no land of any kind will be hit and Isabel will just die out at sea. Praying hard. More for my cousin. He's been working/travelling alot for work and is really looking forward to the relaxation.

I leave less than 48 hours from now to WDW for a week at the Boardwalk Villas........

Whoohooo!!! We got an upgrade! We were upgraded from a cat. 6 to a cat. 4. I am sooo excited. I never thought we would get one, especially this close to sailing. Now we just have to keep the hurricane far, far, far away. I am very worried about it too!! Lots of pixie dust!!

Wow!!! congratulations on the upgrade!!!

Boy, I sure wish they didn't completely pass over Cat.10s for upgrades...

Jordan, you must be all packed and ready to go!!!

[chubbyjen]

Congratulations Wishing and Cathy!

Have fun at WDW Jordan! I'm sooo jealous since I'm still stuck here in lab!!

 

[Wishing on a star]

Jordan,

You are the first to be wished safe travels, and a great week at WDW!

jott3, we are now in 6118... near the aft. elevators. I haven't had time to check the noisy room list yet. Hope this will be a good room!! I will miss being on Deck5 with the kids club... That would have been so convenient too!

 

[jott3]

Nope, it's not on the noisy list: http://dcltribute.com/faq/deck2noise.htm

Congrats again! I know how much you wanted a verandah! Have you told DH yet?

Don't forget to update the main page of our thread!

 

[cat1239]

Thank you everyone for your kind words about my upgrade, I just can't believe I got one!

Jordan - Have a safe trip, I am very jealous....Friday can not come fast enough for me.

Wishing - Congratulations!! I know you are excited! It looks like we all have been pretty fortunate. I think just about everyone has gotten an upgrade now. The ship must not be full to capacity. Also, Wishing - have you decided where in Florida you are going to stop? Let me know if you have any other questions...

I am following the hurricane religiously. I am also hoping it doesn't affect our trip to WDW. Time will tell....

Cathy

 

[jordanyosh]

I am on my way to the airport in about 15 minutes. Will see you guys Deck 10 on the 21st.

Thanks to all the well wishers. Continue to pray for the demise of Isabel.

 

[jott3]

I just filled out our cruise paperwork! I can't believe it is only about a week away now. I haven't started packing at all yet. I've been too busy checking the hurricane stuff!

 

[cat1239]

I'm so glad you mentioned something about the paperwork, I completely forgot about it!!! I will have to fill mine out tonight as well. Things are looking a little better with Isabel...
