Wish Maiden Voyage | July 14-19, 2022

[OKW Lover]

We got our luggage tags today

 

[Disney 24/7]

Just called DCL today and they said luggage tags in white envelope was mailed 6/26. So hopefully soon

 

[Disney 24/7]

Just received the luggage tags today. Wow it's almost here

 

[AquaDame]

Still nothing for us... we havent gotten our D23 badges yet either and other folks are getting theirs. I'm starting to feel like Oregon is the boonies!

 

[Cruising Girl]

Hello all-- Crazy me just now actually looked closely and saw this thread!! I'll be on the MV with you all too. Super excited and hoping , praying we all stay healthy and get onboard. Got luggage tags a couple days ago. Does anyone by chance know how or where to sign up for the nursery since its now open? This is our first cruise with a toddler and open nursery. I know I sign up when we get on board but just wasn"t sure where! Thanks and can't wait!

 

[AquaDame]

I can't answer your question as we do not have kids, but wanted to say welcome aboard!! We are so close now! <3

My husband and I just went and had a PCR test done this morning juuuust in case. I've mentioned before but every time I go into work (2-3 days at present, the rest is WFH) I get an email warning that we were all exposed which hadn't bothered me really until now. I'm starting to really fret that one of us will catch it at the 11th hour and it will be too late to get a letter of recovery... after today it is out of our hands I suppose! Yesterday was my last in office day as they closed the office next week for a mid summer break, and I'll be WFH that Monday & Tuesday before we cruise. Regardless my husband will still be going in every day, so fingers crossed we (and everyone planning to be aboard!) manages to stay healthy from there on out!

 

[AquaDame]

Woohoo! Our luggage tags finally arrived! Anyone else surprised that all aboard is 2:45? Isn't that earlier than usual..?

 

[Ol Goof]

We got our luggage tags Thursday. So excited!!! I’m sure I’ll be walking around with lots of oooohs and aaaaaahs We all tested today as the last insurance day to get our recovered letter also. We have never been on a maiden voyage before any tips on what to do first? I’m sure I’m going to be overwhelmed!

 

[OKW Lover]

We have never been on a maiden voyage before any tips on what to do first?

Neither have we. I'd say that the first thing we are going to do is start exploring the ship. Well, we may get an adult beverage first...

 

[cfisherjr]

Buffet, then adult beverage for exploring, then adult beverage again for the sail away. Next thing you know it's dinner time, for first seating. That's when the smoothie comes into play. One flavor each dinner. Then more exploring, including the shops on board. Double expresso frappuccino mocha drink for that exploring. Somewhere there will be time to do more.

 

[cfisherjr]

Does anyone know if Marceline Market, which is same as Cabana on Fantasy and Dream, have outside seating like Cabana? Also, is there outside miniature golf and the detective game, both of which is on Dream and Fantasy.

 

[AquaDame]

First thing for me is go down the slide to the kid's club! Then go ask if we were able to get a private table, and ask about a brunch reservation. Then check on getting a Rainforest pass for the spa, and then rustle up some lunch! Hopefully by then we'll be able to drop off our day bags in the room and start really exploring the ship!

I do not believe there is mini golf, no. Its not on the deck plans and no one on the Christening cruise mentioned it either.

 

[Ol Goof]

AquaDame any thoughts regarding the all aboard 2:45 pm? not complaining just curious Ty

 

[Ol Goof]

Oh forgot to ask. Is the Wish staying in Port now til our cruise?

 

[Bishoparc]

Single digit days people! We are so close!!!! Can’t believe it is almost here.

 

[Bishoparc]

Hopefully by then we'll be able to drop off our day bags in the room

If I read everything right, the cruise before us returns the day before so I’m hoping our rooms are ready when we board. Fingers crossed at least.

Just that i think its weird, haha! I checked and you can get a port arrival time as late as 3:30 so it really seems odd.

Thanks for sharing tentative attire schedule!

Has anyone had any luck calling DCL to find out about approximate DCL transfer pickup times from WDW resort hotels? We have done this many times preCovid and it was always around noon but I saw some posts a while back about 8:30am pickups. I know port arrival time (we have 1:15pm) doesn’t matter when you arrive on the DCL bus but we have a late boarding group because we were later than usual doing online checkin. I don’t want to arrive at 10am and have to sit for hours before we can board. I’d rather enjoy the morning at the hotel… I’m running out of time to change our arrival plans and I can’t get through to DCL. Fingers crossed we all make it on the ship for her MV!!!

If not already, you may have better luck getting through to your WDW resort to ask them.
