September 8th Wonder Roll Call

[disneychic]

Who's going on the Sept. 8th 4 Day Wonder?
How do you feel about the recently added Freeport stop and losing the day at sea?

My DH and I will be going, CAN'T WAIT!

I try to post this message once a month. And, still NO ONE ELSE IS CRUISING WITH US!!! Are we really going to be all alone on this cruise??

Don't let the ship leave without me, I'm going too! Judging by my attempt to get some connecting cat.10 staterooms a couple of months ago and obtaining the last two available (which are are listed as Noisy on Dave's site so I am not happy about that), I think there will be plenty of folks on board. I'm one of three staterooms booked. I can't wait and have introduced my friends to these boards. Although they read them, they don't post; so maybe there are people out there reading your posts who are too timid to respond.

I don't have children so I'm looking at the Freeport stop as a good thing. More people off the ship during the day means a less crowded adult pool for me! -- I went on the cruise 2 years ago and I found that on the day at sea, children frequented the quiet cove area often seeking their parents. It was not enough of a disturbance to ruin a wonderful vacation, but it was bothersome, as the kids were being kids - running into chairs and some yelling etc. So from and adult standpoint, I'm hoping that stop will alleviate the possibility of disturbance and crowding by the q-u-i-e-t adult pool.

I can't wait till September 8th!

Hi
WE are also on this cruise. This will be our first cruise and was looking forward to the day at sea. Thanks to this board i
found out about the freeport change before the T.A. did.

We cruised on the 4 day Wonder last Septmber 30th and had the day at sea. Which we loved, but I'm looking forward to the Freeport stop also, because the ship is definately less crowded with the majority of people going on shore excursions. Hopefully we'll have great weather! See you guys there! less than 3 months and counting!! Does anyone know if we get an extra deck party with the stop at freeport?? I know that they're only allowed to have the deck party's while the ship is in port, so hopefully we'll get an extra one!

I don't think we will know for certain until we have those lovely "Navigators" in our hot little hands, or perhaps we can pry it out of the cruise staff onboard. There are some Navigators posted for prior cruises at this (very imformative) website: http://www.fortunecity.com/campus/brigham/612/f4nav.htm

Coincidentally, I found a Navigator from my 2000 cruise and compared it to the Navigator posted on the above site. It appears that there have been some additions since my cruise which was nice to see. Makes me want to get onboard that much more!

Did you take advantage of any of the spa treatments on your cruise? If so, how did you feel about the spa and would you recommend it? I'm considering having my facial treatment performed there instead of my normal monthly visit. The woman I go to is excellent, but I thought it would be a nice treat to get it onboard, provided I find someone who can recommend the ship's spa facial.

Thanks for the link! I'm going to check it out in a few minutes. We did not have any spa treatments on our last cruise. We were going to, but then decided that we wanted to spend some $$ on the shops on board - lets just say that spent so much $$ that the people who worked in the shops new us by name! This time however we will be making some spa reservations this time. Not sure which one's yet. See Ya on board!!
