SCHOOLS OUT!!! May 23, 2010 Wonder Cruise

[hchik05]

we also have second seating..we didn't have a choice, i booked online and it said first dining was full. so my 3 and 4 year old r gonna have to wait til 8-8:30 before they can eat dinner.it's a good thing they have snacks available all day to hold them over!

as far as the hotel stay on the 22nd, we only live a couple hours away but wanna get there early without waking at the crack of dawn. the cheapest place around the port i saw was like $65/night + tax&fees. plus $45 for parking at the port.(i don't know if you'll have a vehicle or not.)
but i booked country inn. after taxes it was about $135 and that includes a safe place to park your vehicle while you're on the cruise, and shuttle ride to and from the port( i read that it's $4/person otherwise.)
only 6 more looooooong weeks *can't wait!*

When you first get on board go straight to Rockin Bar D (or beat street I don't remember if they changed the name on the Wonder). There they can change dining reservations and if you go right away you should semi-simply be able to change your reservation to first seating. (No promises, but there is a good chance). Our family has been assigned 2nd seating many times, but we have always been able to change it on the ship to first seating.

Last month when I called DCL about a question,they asked me if I wanted the second seating,,I said yes,and they said if I changed my mind to call them back and they'd be happy to change it.
Maybe try and call the 800# on the DCL site and see if they can change your dinner seating before you arrive!
They seem very helpful!!

We are staying at the Radisson the night before and the parking is included in the price of the room.

We also have second seating for dinner....it was the only choice when we booked online. We're not too worried about it, since we are just two adults and will be staying up later anyway.

I will be ordering our FE before the end of the week as I have no sewing abilities and my mom is too busy.

thanks for the help but DH and i talked about it and just figured we'd stay with 2nd seating(it seems that EVERYONE else has 2nd seating too)and give us a little more time with activities,pool, whatever.my kids have never been too eager about bedtime but they're definately not shy when it comes to their food.lol

I'm saddened to say that we won't be able to make it on this cruise anymore...We've had to change to a later date because of a sudden conflict. Hope you all enjoy the cruise without us though.

 

[LotsaMickey]

When you get your luggage tags in the mail,do you get a packet of info and things about your room and such as well?
This is our first,so I am not sure what to expect!
Also,will we put our tags on our luggage the day we fly down,or once we get to the port?

Sorry you can't make it Tink!
Thanks for all the info and Help you gave me!
Hope to meet up with you on a later cruise sometime!




38,almost 37,more days!

i got a little book with the luggage tags, important info, a list of all the important documents u need to bring,airline/ground transportation info,itinerary info....pretty much stuff we already know,just reminding us.

i think WHEN you put on your tags depends on how your getting to the port because on mine it said, since i didn't have ground transportation (we're driving ourselves) to wait until we were at the port to put them on.

sorry you can't make it tink! but at least your countdown just got extended instead of canceled! hope u have a great time on your cruise.

[MISSALLEN]

Got the stuff for my FE today! Can't wait to put it together!
Kids go back to school Monday,most likely will do it then.
Also ordered a lot of 20 pins for trading in the parks after the cruise,this will be our first time trying the pin trading thing too,so it should be fun!
I can't wait! I feel like a kid,counting down the days,buying things for the trip,it is all so exciting!
See you all real soon!

They also do pin trading on the ship.

 

[LotsaMickey]

Great! Thanks Missallen,,,I thought they only did it in the parks!
I am so excited! And Nervous,,never been on a cruise before,and I am real nervous that I will get sick and my vacation will be ruined!
Trying to think positive and forget about that part,,maybe if I can wip eit out of my mind,it just wont happen LOL
See you all REAL soon!!!

 

[hchik05]

hey lotsamickey,

this is our first cruise also and i've been lookin at every bit of info i can gather so i'm not totally lost when we get there, i dunno if you've looked, but you can go to youtube and type in different search keywords( disney wonder,disney cruise line,etc.)and see video's that people have taken onboard the ship and it'll give u a better clue to what the staterooms,decks,pools,etc. look like. i thought it was cool. check it out sometime. www.youtube.com

My first cruise I thought the same--I didn't want to be drowsy the entire vaction if I got sea sick, so I invested in the sea bands--they look a little nerdy-bit I think that they work. Here's why--on my 2nd cruise--7 night, the band was accidently packed in the suitcase instead of the carry on (this time I will pack). My husband, son and I got on the ship and realized this. With all the excitement (sail away party, pool, then the spa) I totally forgot we didn't have them, until I get to the dinner table--and I tell my husband that I don't feel so good. I attempted to eat dinner, but just wasn't what I needed; decide to settle with just a ginger ale, then went back to the room, and decide to take a Dramamine, and put on the bands. My son came in shortly after I did and said he didn't feel so hot--he ended up vomiting, and I had to call room service--which clean the mess while him and I just laid there, plus he made us a towel monkey for us to cuddle (that Disney!!!) The next morning the band were on and we both didn't have any more problems. So he is already asking where his bands are. I would suggest that you bring something just in case, if you feel that uneasy.

 

[MISSALLEN]

Did we ever decide if we are going to do a meeting? Seem like I saw mention of it.
