We are getting closer and closer to sail date
Still waiting for our cabin assignment , hopefully we will find out this weekend.

It's great that we have more than 1 1,000,000 point winner on our cruise.

I can't wait to find out what our cabin # is. We already booked our Palo dinner but no excursions. We've already been to Nassau a couple of times so I think we're just going to hit the casino and the beach, no need for a real excursion. I think we're going to either fly kites or rent bikes at CC. My husband is probably going to go behind my back to arrange for a birthday cake for me and I'll pretend not to know about it. That's about it for our planning- so nice to have the Disney folks arranging everything, I'm usually the travel planner in the family.

We've decided we are staying on the ship in Nassau. I want to enjoy it while it's not crowded and DD wants to go in the pool for a while. On CC we are taking snorkel equipment for DH & DD, they will snorkel and I will sit in a chair by the water's edge and TRY not to get burnt to a crisp. I did that one year and it wasn't fun wearing sandals at home when it was 30° out .

Hopefully you will have nice servers or a really nice head server and you will get a big cake instead of the standard little one. We were on the Magic one year, just before my b'day, and my husband arranged for a cake in Lumiere's and our server brought out a huge cake that was decorated with a chocolate rose and personalized. It was so nice and I even brought home what was left of the cake, since we were driving. It was really special since he doesn't usually think of those things and also knows that Beauty & the Beast is my favorite Disney movie. On that same cruise I even 'won'/bought a concept model of the back wall in Lumiere's....made everything all the more special on that trip.

I was just checking to see if we all still had a pulse. The trip is so close, yet no postings...HMMMM


HELLO!!! Is anyone here?

Lets get this party started....

I can't wait to find out what our cabin # is.

Did you check online to see if your cabin was assigned? I checked our's Wed. night and found we had one assigned already, a cat. 11 all the way forward on deck 6. I wasn't thrilled with the located we were assigned so I emailed my TA Friday night and asked her if we could be moved to deck 7 midship or aft. When I checked our ressie yesterday DCL granted my request and moved us to deck 7 aft. I'm happy with that location. I did a dummy ressie online to see what cabins were available and told her which ones I would prefer.

We are getting closer and closer With the snow they are calling for here in the middle of the week looking at palm trees and sounds very inviting right now!!!

Is it March yet?!?

 

[OceanLvr]

We're on Deck 8 midship...Just looking forward to relaxing and being served for a couple of days.

 

[Narnian_Princess]

We're on Deck 2 aft, on the port side. Last time we were Deck 2 forward, starboard. Nothing like inversions!

I did- not assigned yet but any day now. We literally just got all the confirmation paperwork in the mail but not actual tickets yet.

I suspect 'cause it's a prize and not a paid for cabin they'll probably book us into whatever's left at this point. I don't mind. We don't have kids and are pretty laid back so as long as the disco isn't *in* my cabin, I'm not picky about location anyway. Any cabin on a ship is a good cabin to me.

I'm not sure if I want it to be March yet or not. Cruise is coming, but so is the big 3-2! Oh well. Me and my gray hairs will just have to have an extra fruity drink to dull the pain.

Did you get your cabin assignment yet?!?
We received our paperwork by UPS the other day and I already filled out most of the paperwork for DD & I. DH's went to the FL address. I'm waiting for my passport to arrived....should be any day now

 

[Narnian_Princess]

I can hardly believe there's less than 2 weeks left until we cruise!

 

[jilljill]

I was informed by my DD today that we leave home in 11 days I guess I have taught her well.

 

[ladysoleil]

It's official and stuff, we got our packet- must have been over the weekend as we were out of town.

I haven't looked at it yet, actually- DH checked it out but I haven't had a chance to go over all the paperwork yet, but I'll check the online ressie later for the cabin number and all the good stuff.

It's so close, but honestly, I am as excited about getting to see my cabinmates (close friends that we only get to see a few times a year) as I am about the cruise. It's such a treat to get in some unexpected time with them. (Of course, I am also very excited about the prospect of Mickey Bars delivered to my cabin!!!). I'm not sure what I'm most excited about, the cruise, the quality time, spending my birthday at MK...it's a blur, I tell you.

I'm pretty much ready since we travel so much, already got the suitcase with the cruise supplies in it out of storage and ready to pack.

The countdown is on!

 

[jilljill]

Your cabin number will be in your documents and on your luggage tags. I would have ripped that package open to see what cabin.
I'm still waiting on my passport. Now the US Gov. site they will be here by Saturday. Don't they know I have paperwork to fill out online for next week's trip?!? I'll still have time to fill it out by the Monday night deadline.

DH & DD's snorkeling gear is all set, DD's clothes have been picked out for a couple of weeks now. I think she's really ready to go. Will do our clothes this weekend, along with the hundred other things I have to get done before we leave.

9 more days until we sail!!!!!

 

[twinmomma]

Hi there! We'll be joining you - me, DH, DD (7) and DS (7). We're new to cruising and I'm new to the DISboards, although I've been reading trip reports and such for the past couple of weeks. So much good info.

 

[OceanLvr]

Welcome Twinmomma...you'll have a great time...Is this your first cruise? If you have any question, please feel free to ask and I'm sure we can answer most if not all.

Welcome Aboard!!

 

[Narnian_Princess]

Welcome, twinmomma! A little coolness; we'll have 2 sets of DISboard fraternal twins on board! Your DC's and me and my twin brother. Granted, my twin and I are 11 years older than your twins, but still, it's cool!

 

[twinmomma]

Thanks for the warm welcome. Fun about the twin connection! Love, love, love being the mom of twins. I searched to see what a Million Point Winner is, many congratulations to those who won a cruise! That's fabulous!

Yes, this is our first cruise and we are so excited!!! We've been talking about it for what seems like ages. I've been scouring the internet, so I think we have most of our current questions answered. We're still wondering if the ocean will be too cold to swim in, but I think the answer to that is so personal, we'll just have to give it a try!

 

[winnyis]

Hi everyone - DH and I will also be on this cruise. This will be our 6th DCL cruise but our first one without the kids (we decided that we deserved an adults only vacation - first time in 8 years). We are really looking forward to seeing the adult side of a Disney cruise. Of course the kids think its horrible that we are going without them but Im sure Grandma will spoil them and plus we are taking them on the Magic for thanksgiving so they cant complain too much.

 

[jilljill]

A very big to the newbies who've joined us.
Just think, this time next week we will have eaten our first dinner on the Wonder.
I am so looking forward to this trip, I can't wait any longer. I want to go NOW!!! (she says stamping her feet and jumping up and down)

I think I will do my packing this weekend along with the 900 other things I need to get done in the next few days. I don't want to be talked about on the 'What people wear' thread.

 

[Disneynut64]

We will also be there. myself my parents my son his girlfriend and his girlfriends mom. cindy
