Sept 10 2009 "Wonder-ful" Cruise

[natale1980]

Well I just wanted to let you guys know that we cancelled our booking. Have a fun time without us.... Plus I'm sure you have better odds of making it to Castaway Cay without us on the boat any ways!!

Have fun!

Can you add us to the list?
me-Dawn
DH Terry

Natale-sorry to hear about the cancellation. I was looking forward to having someone's shoulder to lean on when I miss my kids so terribly!!

We have neve been to atlantis so we really wanted to check it out. But I don't know. I kind of just want to stay on the ship and relax. I think we may wait until we get into port that day and decide. Also I think we are going to do the bikes in Castaway Cay and then just relax on the beach. Don't want to try to do too much in the short time.

Natale - Sorry you guys won't be joining us But I totally understand missing the kids


I would be up for a Fish Extender exchange possibly, depending on the space in my luggage to bring gifts for everyone


We don't have any plans for excursions. I know DH would like to go parasailing, but we aren't sure yet, it depends how much spending money we have when Sept rolls around, lol

Natale-Sorry to hear that you won't be joining us

My parents haven't been to the Bahamas, so we will be going to Atlantis for sure and seeing some of the island. I don't understand why people stay on the boat in Nassau. It is a lovely island with very friendly people. The outdoor market is can be fun.

On CC we are renting bikes. It is a great way to see the island. They rent by the hour but last year we were told to keep them as long as we wanted.

Thanks everyone! But we'll have fun on our anniversary anyways. Right after I cancelled the cruise I bought tickets to a Cubs game Not as much fun - but we're are going to the game alone so it will be nice.

Enjoy!

Welcome Aboard The more the merrier.

Do you want me to list you "real" names on the first page or you Disnames?

I can't believe how close we are getting. My parents are so excited even though this is their 2nd DCL trip.

What is everyone planning on doing in Nassau? I know that we are gambling at Atlantis and some shopping.

Hi we are also booked on the wonder for the 10th sep - we are me dot hubby and dd ( 19) we are in room 8520 and it is our first cruise we only booked it last weekend on a whimm but i have been reading these boards ever since and just wanted to say thanks for all the great info we have about the cruise / food and staterooms so far - does anybody know if their is a fish extender thing happening or a meet on our little weekend away? We are from liverpool in the uk and will be in orlando in a villa for a week or so before the cruise then back to the villa after the cruise where we will be at MSSHp on the 15th. We have been going to disney since my dd was 3 so we love disney and the cruise this year will make our holiday. Looking forward to reading lots lots more over the coming weeks

 

[sabrecmc]

Do you want me to list you "real" names on the first page or you Disnames?

Sure...it will be Caryn (me), Aslan (my daughter, age 3), Gail (my mom, aka "Nana") and Cam (my aunt, aka "Aunt Cam").

I think we'll try the dolphin encounter in Nassau...I was skeptical, but have heard good things and my daughter says she wants to do it. The pictures on the company's website do look pretty cool. We're also cruising on a 3 night DCL cruise in November, so I figure we can hang on the boat then.

 

[acourtwdw]

First of all welcome Dot and family

I will add FE next to the first name on your family list if you want to participate in the exchange. I will also need you stateroom number. We won't have ours until we are closer sailing since we have a cat 12. What is a good cut off date for everyone for the F/E?

On past cruises we have the meet around 3pm in one of the lounges. I can't remember the name right now, but it will come to me.

Off to dinner and to see the Proposal.

hi i think we would like to take part in a fish extender though we are really not too sure what that involved and is it ok to do it with 3 adults in the room or is it more aimed at children ( if so i am happy to give somthing out to the children and not take part ourslefs but to leave small gifts outside others rooms) do we have to make somthing ourselfs to hang outside our rooms on our fish extenders or would we be able to buy somthing whilst we are away on holiday? It would be nice to meet up with others from the cruise though it may only be me and my daughter as hubby can be a bit anti social somtimes ( though he does secretly love disney )
sorry edited as i have just re read the posts
so me dot ( 46) hubby rob ( 45) daughter becky( 19 will turn 20 whilst we are away) and we will be in room 8520 - we can not book any of the trips ect yet until day 75 so we are still trying to decide

 

[acourtwdw]

Ok everyone- time to figure out who is doing the Fish Extender. Let me know who wants in and your stateroom number.

I think a good cut off is about a month before the cruise. Will that work for everyone? That give us time to see the final numbers and ship anything to DCL if neccessary.

73 days left!!!

 

[sabrecmc]

I was able to make our shore excursion reservations today...my daughter and I are doing the Blue Lagoon dolphin encounter, while my mom and aunt do the Ardastra (sp?) Gardens & city tour. Anyone else on either of those? Seemed like there was still plenty of availability for things. I also booked the adults for Palo and me a mani/pedi at the spa...we're headed to Caribbean Beach Resort after our cruise, so figured I'd have nice nails for Disney, lol.

 

[CrystalS]

Hi, I always forget to keep checking back here!

We are all paid up on our cruise now
We will be at ASMovies at WDW afterwards for 4 nights too.

I think we'd like to participate in the FE too please. We don't know the stateroom number yet as we are in a GTY 12 room right now.

No clue whats happening at Nassau yet, lol, I need to check with our group again and see if we want to make any plans or just play by ear. This is a budget vacation for us, so it will mostly depend on how much "play" money we can come up with. Does anyone know the cut off date to book excursions?

 

[dotty dot]

two months to go

 

[acourtwdw2]

I cant wait to cruise
