"Once Upon a Dream" 4 Night Dream Cruise 10/16/2011

Does anyone know if you can share a cabana with someone else?

I called DCL directly this AM and they said you can share the cabana with other people. You are allowed 6 people and then the cost is $50/pp after the 6. They also said it would go on one persons shipboard account and each would have to work out payment between eachother. So if there are 8 in the total party you are looking at a cost of $300/per family.

We have 4 ppl in our party if anyone is interested...

 

[Twinprincesses]

Yes I have heard you can. I was considering sharing with somebody. I hear the cabanas only hold 7 but I have also heard of people paying additional for an extra person. I am not sure how much the cost goes up with a extra person. From what I read the cost could be split between two staterooms. I might call DCL to find out more. I also haven't checked out the cabana thread lately.

We also want to go on the Dolphin encounter in Nassau and that's gonna be a chunk of change too plus Remys.....

My husband said no to conceirge then he said no to the cabana but if I can get the cost down I am doing it. I will feel exclusive one way or another.

 

[tinkmom2]

I am still trying to talk my DH into it. The cost for each of our familes will be $300 each if we split it. We are still discussing if it's worth it to us. I will get back to you Maybe it will be my anniversary present if I can talk him into it

I think we should have people get their FE stuff in order in lists but I really enjoy participating with people that are active. While I understand people cannot and do not want to have a little mini chat room I like to know who my stuff is from.

I agree, I would like to know to also. I wouldn't mind being in a chat room talking about our cruise. Talk about getting excited that would really do it Have no ideal how or where to start a chat room thou. Let me know if anyone wants to try.

We just booked this sailing as well! Watched prices for Dream Cruises for awhile and scored one night when a guaranteed inside opened up all of a sudden, and then when I was booking it I took too long and it was gone..i was so bummed.... Then a few hours later it showed back up, so I scored! We got 2 adults guaranteed inside for $1277! The best part was that our anniversary is October 16th and my bday is October 18th, so it was the perfect sailing for me to find a good deal on. Now, I just hope we can go, still mulling over the details. We just got back from a big trip in December where we went on the Podcast cruise, which was our first Disney Cruise and we loved it... Hopeing we get to sail with you guys!

please add us to the fe list and if we cancel I promise I will let you know to take our names off of it:

Adam and Jessica (2 adults) still in guarentee status


p.s. saw the cabanas in december, man they looked great! especially the piece of beach right in front of them it was great...too steep for us though

 

[Twinprincesses]

Welcome!! Is anyone else getting sick of the negative threads about the Dream!!! Ugh I am, they need to stop bringing me down about my trip. I was all stressing out about our room because we have a white veranda and I think my husband was about to punch me. I almost changed it and he told me not to do anything. We are on the very back of the ship so then I started stressing about getting seasick. Ugh. Everything was fine until all the people started complaining. So I took a chill pill and am trying to relax. I am sure our balcony and room will be just fine.

Relax It will be the best vacation ever! Besides booking the cabana the first thing I am doing when I get on board is getting the free sea sickness pills from guest services
We should all have a room tour. I am curious to see the virtual porthole staterooms. They look awesome! Does your room have the extended verandah?

I use to think about that to but really how much are you in your room? with all there is to do on the ship just take some motion sickness pills or the patch to sleep and all is good. I haven't seen any negitive stuff yet. I don't think any of the public has been on there yet. I know our news reporter was on there last week with her kids and seen John Stamos

Is anyone else getting sick of the negative threads about the Dream!!!

YES!!! My favorites are the ones from people who haven't even been ON the ship yet.

Sure there are kinks to be worked out. From what my friend told me in the wait staff that the way they did things on the Wonder and Magic are totally different. Plus they all had to learn a new way of doing things on the Dream. I am not too worried! I agree that many of the people who are nay sayers haven't even been on the Dream yet. And those who were on the press only cruise are meant to be critical. That's their job. They are not DCL and Disney fanatics like us.
This one critic was commenting on how the pumped in Disney music was driving him nutz. Well hello! You are on a Disney Cruise
Barb and Tony are on there 80th DCL cruise. (incognito) I'd believe what she has to say over some stuffy critic! Who knows they might even be on our cruise too!

PS. I have some good news to share with all of you. I may be a bone marrow donor for the second time. I signed up to be a donor in 1991 and didn't get a call til 2 years ago to donate. Now I got a letter in my email saying I may match someone else. If things go like they did last time I will be making my donation once again in April depending on what they decide. I donated PBSC's which are stem cells through a central line but they could decide to take a graph from my hip. First thing I have to do is go give a sample so my blood can be typed and I have to match at least 6 markers with the recipient. I will let you know how the process is progressing.

What a generous thing for you to do.

I have been obsessivly calling a radio contest this week. Miranda Cosgrove (iCarly) is coming in concert this weekend. We have tickets. I won passes to the meet n greet then realized it was only for 2 ppl. I called and they said I can only bring 1 child back (ugh I have twin girls). Thank goodness I did not tell them yet. I went to pick them up today and the lady gave me her number to call since all passes have to be picked up by tomorrow I might be able to squeeze 1 more out.
