Why are there so few "Wonder" trip reports?

Why are there so few "Wonder" trip reports on the trip reports board?

When we went on the Magic two years ago - I read trip reports almost daily just to help me prepare and to live vicariously through others' trips.

Now that we're waiting for a Wonder trip (in December), I find that very few 3 and 4 day cruisers write trip reports when they return!

Please remember to let us know all about your Wonder trip in a nice, detailed report when you return!

You should visit www.castawayclub.com, she has a TON of Wonder trip reports!

IMHO, most board members are smart enough (or hooked) to take 7 day, seems far fewer take the shorter cruises...now that I have been on a four day, I know why

I have read every Barb and Tony trip report and savored the details as I planned my own - perhaps they are the gold standard few of us could match!

Even though I was stupid enough to take a 4 day wonder cruise and book a 3 day for next year, the reason I haven't written up a trip report is that I haven't gotten to it. I should go over my notes, maybe I will make that my project this weekend (especially since there is precious little information about NYE cruises out there!)

I wrote a report when I went on the Wonder last September. If you haven't read it already, you can click on the link in my siggy.

Mine (from December) is coming next week, finally! All of my notes and pictures were on my notebook computer, which--well, the poor thing is held together by duct tape (honestly!) and had to go out for a bit of servicing. It's back, and all of my data is still intact, so I'm going to spend my nice long 4-day weekend trying to get the report together for posting next week!

Smart enough? There may be any number of reasons people choose to take a 3/4 night cruise instead of a 7 night.
DH and I have taken two 7-night cruises, but when we asked my parents to take a cruise with us we decided a 4-night would be better, as neither of them had ever cruised before so we weren't sure if they would like it. They did though.

We were on the 4-night Wonder last month and I do plan to write out a report. I kept a journal. Just haven't "gotten around to it" yet. But I will!

Here is a tip, don't call people "stupid or smart" because the length of their cruise.

Not everyone can afford a 7 day. Congratulations on your upcoming cruise.

I don't think you are "smart" enough to know that not everyone wants to take a seven day cruise. I am amazed that "SOME" people on this board don't understand that not everyone wants to live by "your" particular "standards." I am sure that her family will enjoy their 4 day cruise just as much as your family will enjoy your 7 day cruise.

That's what makes a Disney cruise so great - you can choose the length you want. I encourage all DIS board members to be kind when posting replys. Implying that other posters "aren't smart enough" isn't what this board needs.

I wish all DIS board members that take a three, four, seven night, or back-to-back Eastern/Western the most wonderful cruise ever.

I read all the reports 3, 4, or 7 day because I pick up great tips from all of them. Keep the reports coming so I know how to plan I am so jealous of you all !!!

I can't wait until January 2005 for my first Disney Cruise but I will see you all May 14 at WDW. My daughter wouldn't let me Cruise first !

Happy sailing!!!!

Amazing where these threads go...
I am the one who used the word "smart." I did so because I was being "cute" and tried to imply what many people commonly post - being on either ship - anywhere, anytime is terrific. Reading my post, you will see that we went on a four day - I am a single mom and that was a stretch for me. No new cruise planned - of any length - I just lurk here to dream.

I do think that statistically, most board members go on the 7 day - for a wide variety of reasons (no intellect reference here).
Please end the flames. I will try harder to be more clear with my posts in the future.

professorandmom: Maybe if you would have used the winking smilie......then people may have understood you were trying to be "cute."

It's difficult sometimes to tell the "tone" a person is using, when you can't actually hear how they are saying it. So then people may take what you say the wrong way.
