Wonder for June 5 - 8: First time, how about you?

[jaletu2000]

Anyone else on these boards hitting the Wonder decks (first time or any time) on June 5 thru 8? We booked really early and it's almost here! I can't believe it!

Got everything paid and even have spending money lined up. Haven't signed up for excursions and know we need to do that. Has anyone taken either the Blue Lagoon Beach excursion or the Historic Tour of Nassau (hubby is hot for that one)? Could use any advice.

We have two DS's - 11 and 13 and will be on Deck 2. I've been hurriedly scanning these boards for months now and am starting to be really excited. Thank you, one and all!

Also does anyone have a link to the "must pack" list? I thought there's plenty of time but at the rate March is passing, I just don't know! Oh - Happy ST. PATRICK'S DAY!

Looks like we will be there also. Me, DH, DS (11) and DD (7). I will try to find the packing list links that I have seen and post them here. Do you son's like Yu Gi Oh or Pokemon. My son can't seem to live without them. (If he had his way.)

I usually start with the one from geocities and then delete the things I don't have/need/want to take. I end up with about a page of things I can print out and check off as I pack them.

Well, I have booked it, but have not told hubby yet. We will be celebrating an anniversary while on Board. It will just be the 2 of us.

There must be others of us out there. When I check my reservation with Dreams Unlimited, it shows that there are 6 DU clients booked on this cruise. Only two more and we will get a stateroom gift!

Well hello there fellow shipmates!

I just now got an email telling me someone had posted on this thread. I knew there had to be someone else on that ship besides us.

My boys still love Pokemon. They are lobbying hard for a gameboy advance and one of those new Pokemon games - Sapphire or Ruby. It's all Greek to me really. Not sure yet whether oldest will go with teens or the lab. Hard to tell at that age. Youngest will be in labs though. He loves computers.

Dustin and Shelby's Mom - Thanks so much for the links! I'm going to take some time and explore them all. Need to really start figuring out what to take. Glad to hear there are at least 6 other families! Just two more to go...

RweTHEREyet - what a great anniversary gift!

Hope to be hearing more!

If you were counting us in a headcount booked thru DU, I am not, sorry.

Just booked cruise last week and finaly told hubby this weekend. He guessed that I booked for our anniversary, which I was very impressed at.

This is the first time we have done anything special for our anniversary in a long time, which will make it even more special.

 

[Dustin & Shelby's Mom]

I do not know who is counted in the head count. When I check my reservation on DU's website, they give the number of families that are booked on your cruise. Once the total reaches 8, they give a stateroom gift to each family. With the current discounts and stateroom credits they give along with the possibility of a gift, it was really hard to beat DU's price for us.

If you have booked with DCL directly, you can request a quote from DU and check it out. If you prefer the price you have gotten from DU, they can transfer your ressie from DCL to DU. They do not transfer ressies from other TAs, however, a matter of courtesy. Just something to think about.

Only 69 more days til our cruise. Can hardly wait!

Well, I am fairly certain then that I am not included in that headcount. I am a Cast Member and DU cannot book for me. Hopefully you guys will get your other 2 families and then some for those special gifts.

Hi All! We too will be travelling on the 3 night Wonder cruise leaving on June 5th but did not know about DU (what is it?). Besides mom & dad, there will be Kelly (age 9) and Joey (age 4). Joey is into to Pokemon.

Its our first time cruising as a family.

We're thinking about booking the dolphin deal. Anyone heard good or bad about it??

 

[jaletu2000]

I think DU is the only one keeping count. It's just a way of saying "thanks" to those who book with them. Even if there aren't 8 booked with them - so what? It's going to be a great cruise! I'd love to hear from anyone going.

jayhawker - DU stands for Dreams Unlimited and it's a travel agency that books for Disney. It may book other vacations too but I don't know about that. I heard about them on the DIS boards and tried them for last May, 2002 for a trip to POR for 5 nights. Had a great vacation! So naturally I booked the cruise through them too. Makes it a little easier on me with planning. They are great.

Now if I can just figure out what excursion to book.. if any.
