Hi all, I just bought tickets for this cruise, can I join an FE? We have 7 kids.

Just kidding! I am gunka's brother, and was on the Wonder with him this spring. I work in downtown San Diego, and just walked down to the Wonder during lunch.

I actually saw our head waiter from February, Mladdin, and stopped and talked with him for a few minutes. He was heading downtown to check out the sites.

i took a picture, but can't seem to load it here, sorry!

Have fun you all! I'll stop by next Friday to say hi

You got me excited for a second, I thought you made the leap. Well at least we got a little humor Funny about Mladdin, can't wait to say hi to him.

There is a very cool picture on the main thread of the Wonder coming in this AM.

Hope to see you next Friday

Back to packing

Oh no!!!! Ha ha ha!! My husband thinks he can fit it all into a carry on size suitcase. I don't think so. I told him he needs to take the bigger one so we can have extra space. Soooo much to bring. Thankful we don't have to fly!

Just drove by the wonder on the way to look for last minute pirate gear. We are so excited! Too bad I didn't bring my real camera, so the photos really aren't worthy of posting. See all soon!

Well I just finished packing...have this horrible feeling I've forgotten something though! More suitcases than I had planned and we are flying, thankfully we kept it to one per person, but it seems like a lot of stuff.

Thanks to all who have shared pictures....it makes it seem so real now!

Safe travels to all! I have like 1/2 of a sleep left as I won't be going to bed until midnight and I have to get up at 4:30!

We are off in about 7 hours here to drive down south to San Pedro. Our car looks really really scary... 3 adults and 3 boys 8 and under. Last count the suitcases were at 7 plus golf clubs, 2 garmet bags, a stroller and various misc bags and carry ones. There are two suitcases on the roof

Hopefully we survive the drive as we are so excited to board on Sunday! Can't wait to meet everyone - if you see a crazy lady chasing after three little look alike boys it is probably me!

 

[Crittsmom]

Disneyland, totally awesome.

See ya all real soon

We are in long beach hooray! Can anyone tell me how parking at the cruise ship terminal parking works? We have a baby and a car seat and our luggage, plus carry ons, diaper bag etc. Is the a place we can check in our luggage before parking? I just don't see how we can juggle all of that otherwise. Thanks!

We have some of the music from the sail away party on our ipods and we had it playing on the speakers in the backyard. I'm so ready to dance at the sailaway party.

Yes, you should be able to follow the lane around the edge of the parking lot until you get right in front of the terminal (so almost a complete circle). Then you can offload your luggage with the porters then go park the car.

Excellent! Thank you so much, this takes away all my concerns, now we can relax because we are on vacation!
