I hesitated to post this as I don't want to be a downer. DH had some scary test results this week and may be dealing with some serious health issues. A biopsy is being done on the swollen lymph nodes in his chest on Monday. A CAT scan also showed several masses.

Obviously DH's health takes priority. If we make this cruise it will be DCL #15 for us.

Needless to say, I am a wreck.

Now back to your regularly scheduled trip planning. Have fun!

Hoping for the best for you all Donna.

These B2B cruises will be our 3rd and 4th with DCL, and any cruiseline for that matter!!

I wish I had talked John into cruising before, but he just wasn't interested.

I have been looking at other cruise lines for the future, so will be interested in your thoughts of RCCL.

This is our second Disney cruise. I can't comment on RCCL, but we went on a Celebrity Cruise on the Century a few years ago and enjoyed it very much. Very different from Disney, and a bit more of a sedate crowd in general. We didn't have our little one then and while many people did bring their kids I don't think they had nearly as good a time as little ones on Disney did. Frankly the food and wine were outstanding on that cruise. Everything was pretty much over the top and we had a good time. There was much more dressing up for dinner, etc. We were lucky enough to be asked to sit at the Captains table one night and meet up with him before dinner for cocktails.

Oh wow, I am very sorry for your DH's ill health.. Payers and Pixie Dust on your side

 

[nskjerven]

Cruise count, I've been on 3 DCL cruises this will be #4 and I have EB TA booked to be #5 and 1 long weekend on RC (it sucks)(smelled like mold everywhere, food was blah, room was really small, staff were not CMs)

I love to cruise, so do the kids, but Paul, DH is done with cruising. So I'm not sure we'll do many more. Maybe me and the kids or me solo in the future

Second cruise for me, both on DCL My third will be the day this one ends...I'm doing a B2B My first was the WBPC , I knew 7 days would be too short after that one

Nan, what doesn't Paul like about cruising

Monica has headed up north now, right? Guess I should stop bombarding her with PMs.....

WELCOME!
You'll just be right down the hall from our gang.



This will be cruise number 5 for me...all DCL. A four day, a 7 day Magic double-dip, a 3 day (cause we missed our pals from the 7 day) and the 15 day Westbound Panama. I have two planned for next year...the TransAtlantic in each direction. Here's hoping health and finances hold up for both of those!

I've YET to do a regular 7 day Eastern/Western itinerary, so I guess I can try those out on one of the NEW ships!

Off to print out WDW menues for my brother-in-law.

[ragdoll]

A big "thank you" to everyone for their kind words. It really means a lot. I probably won't be around here too much for now but will let everyone know if we will be sailing as the date gets closer. Good thing we have travel insurance.

Thanks again.

He says it isn't that he doesn't like it, more that he likes to travel other ways, fly to a spot and investigate a city for more than one day
