[hopelea]

Loved your pirate outfit!! You all look amazing!!! Loved your boots too!!!

Thanks for the report. It is wonderful. My dh is drooling over all your pictures of food!!!! can't wait for the next part!!

 

[Stinkerbe11]

Great TR Im getting so excited because we leave i three weeks...if you don't mind me asking the price of the tequila...I am a tequila lover and tequila is my number one souvenir to buy in Mexico

I think it was around $35.00

It's coming, I promise I am 3/4 done with day 4 but I am sooo sick and I feel the need for the Brooklyn Deli's chicken matzo ball soup...so, after lunch I shall write on!

Nothing like matzo ball soup to make you feel better. I always get Brent's Deli or Weiler's Deli MBS when I don't feel good.

I am soooooooooooooo enjoying your report. I am cracking up at almost every entry, and have decided to not read any negative reports until we leave...a week from tomorrow!!!

Can you take towels into the Exotic Rasul Room? Don't want my feet to hurt from the hard tile.....if you know what I mean

Can't wait for day 5!!

Thanks again for writing

Yes, but expect to get "the look" from the spa maven. Actually, there were probably enough towels in there, so I wouldn't worry about it.

HI STINKERBELL,
I wish I was still there! Thanks again for being our FE organizer. What a great time we all had. I saw you walking around in your robe one day . I am trying to find myself in some of your pictures... no luck yet! LOL

For those of you who are worrying about negative trip reports let me tell you this...we had a GREAT time and some people are just grumpy and are always looking for trouble! The weather was a little chilly at times (sea days), but I missed a 2 day ice storm where I live (so how could I complain about 60 degree weather?????)

Enjoying your trip report Stinkerbe11...I feel like I am there all over again!

Nice stinker11 ! Silly question... Do we have to carry the pirates costume or do we get them on ship ?

Also on Day 5 (first one to Cabo) per DCL website the ship docks at 11:15 am but I was told that might be wrong...what time did your ship reach Cabo on both days?

 

[lmhall2000]

Fun fun!! You're getting me excited for 3/13!! I have to add that your family is precious and you ROCKED those Pirate boots!! Soo cool!!!

OMG you are cracking me up between the tequila hunt and the rasul description...too funny. And you looked A M A Z I N G in your pirate outfit!

 

[sasha]

I am absolutely LOVING your trip report! I am literally laughing out loud, especially about your DH's fears of being in Mexico. He sounds like me and it's making me laugh at myself. Plus, I really appreciate all of the tips!

We leave in 5 weeks from tomorrow and after reading your report I'm more excited than ever. Can't wait for the rest.....

 

[Lissame]

So...inquiring minds want to know...how much did you end up paying for the tequila? Is it worth searching for when we are in port?

It depends on which itinerary you are on--A, B, or C. They are each different. I believe this cruise was itinerary A.

again I am not sure what you are talking about? How would I know if Wonder is on itinerary A ?

Check your cruise via disneycruises.com. Mine currently says "Alternate itinerary B"

 

[Lady_Kluck]

A great breakdown of day 4! Love the aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrr flair in your darling family's Pirate Night getup...although I do have to admit, those are some killer boots you have there...did you get those custom made?? those are totally cosplay worthy!!

So I must admit I am a little saddened to hear that you can't readily find any Don Julio Reposado at a reasonable price in SoCal....I seem to find it readily up here in NorCal, and not an arm and a leg....happy to assist with the replenish activity when necessary

Okay mine say Alternate Itinerary A.. so whats the relation of this to pirate costume?

For the best selection, I would buy them before the cruise. They do have a limited selection of pirate costumes onboard, but they will cost more and I don't recall seeing anything for adults. I did see pirate Mickey ears in the gift shop and you will get free pirate night bandanas at dinner.

 

[OlivesMom]

Thank you for the fun Trip Report!! I appreciate all the tips you have outlined!

 

[Señor DonDuck]

Yay, pirate night! Great family costumes.

 

[iluvwdw4ever]

So where did you get the pirate costumes??
