Wonder May 17, 2015 3 Night Mexican Riviera

[Sarah Devaney]

We are booked on the 3 night sailing, Cat 7A Secret Veranda! Along with myself will be my DW and my DD who will be 4 at the time of sailing. Since we are traveling from NJ we are hopefully going to loop in Disneyland with this trip.

I think we can keep the FE simple and manageable. Why don't I just start a spreadsheet with interested parties? I'll just need names, cabin numbers, ages, genders, and any special considerations (such as "no alcohol, peanut allergy, etc). As we get closer to sailing and have a better idea about numbers, we can reevaluate for potentially grouping.

Sorry, I just joined and found out about all this stuff. I didn't know how to post on my own thing so I just replied on here. So sorry. I'm a little new to all this. So we just booked this cruise last month because my mom has cancer so it is kind of a 'last trip' of sorts for our family. My sister and I have kids and it wouldn't be all of us participating, just my sister and I and our kids. I know it might be too late to join the FE. Can you let me know if we could still participate? It is my sister (38), myself (35), her kids 5(girl), 2 (boy), and my kids, both boys 3 and 8 months. Let me know if it is too late, I know many of you have been making/preparing for a long time so I understand if it is. Thank you!

Sarah,

What a great idea for a last minute trip. Cruising is always a winning idea. I wish the best for your mom and your family. Please see post #307 for the needed info to participate in the FE group. Thanks.

Hello All,

The FE List is now closed!! This is so that those organizing have enough time to work on their FE gifts. If anyone comes late feel free to ask if someone would like to exchange with you.

Also, alcohol is great for the 38 and 35 year old, other adults don't drink. I don't understand the wristband thing. What is it and what is it for? Also, my email for the list for us is sarahalayne@hotmail.com. Thank you for organizing all this!

We just came off of the WBTA. It was 14 days long and plenty of time for anything and everything. This one is a bit shorter than that and I believe that a FE with groups of no more than 10 cabins should be fine. You could probably do more cabins if you grouped the list by cabin number. If anyone wants to plan for any other exchanges, go for it but since we are limited to 5 nights, people may want to just relax. There were so many things to choose from during the WBTA that my list of things to do was pretty long BEFORE I even touched the deck of the ship. That won't happen this time. I believe our FE group was 22 cabins and that was quite doable in about 30-45 mins.

So are you bringing grandkids this time? Summer and Autumn would love to meet them. If not, you can re-adopt them for the 4 days. Looks like you guys have been busy sailing. I would love to sail the Magic in June with you. I can't wait to see you both soon. PM me, and don't forget your shoes!

Welcome Necij! We are happy you found us! Even though this cruise will be a short one it will also be a Wonder-ful one at the same time.

Sarah & Necij,
Unfortunately the FE list is close for sign ups, but we have some great people here and I'm sure some would exchange with you.

Group is there any cabins that would like to join in FE with these two cabins??

Hi, I saw that you 'closed' the FE sign ups but that was after my original post where you instructed me to post #307. So I was responding to that, assuming that we were in. We can cut our group down and just have the kids (3 of them, the baby doesn't care). Please let me know, DisneyLove58, if we are still not in the FE group as I had previously assumed since I got in before the first weekend of April deadline that you posted about. Thank you.

For parking at the pier it looks like we are going to use the Wynham for $11/day. I just emailed with Park and Go and they said they will not service the Disney ship! Pretty surprising as that wouldn't happen in Florida. Just be aware if you were planning on parking at Park and Go that they will not take you to the ship or return you to your car.

Hi Sarah,
I will ask the groups see if we can get you in. I'm sorry about that, but the close date had been set. I did this bc I wanted to give enough time to those working on the their FEs from the closed date to the cruise date. I will let you know once I do.

 

[Sarah Devaney]

Any word, yet on if we can participate? I would like to know how to prepare if we get to or adjust expectations if not. Thank you!

VACCINATIONS for Mexico. Here's what the CDC says about being covered when you're traveling to Mexico. I don't plan on drinking the water! Does anyone know if Ensenada is safer that other destinations? Your thoughts?

@Sarah Devaney I want to clarify there are 6 people in cabin 8530?

 

[DisneyLove58]

All,

I have our Mixology planned on our sea day 5/19/15 @ 2pm. The minimum # of guest is 20 and the max is 40 guest. In order to sign up per cast member "Guests per class, a $20.00 per person will be charged to each onboard account whether they show-up or not. I will need names with stateroom numbers at least 2 weeks prior to sail date." The cast member working with me will confirm our time and date, this date was a tentative one she set. Please feel free to PM me this info... I would like to send it no later than May 2nd so if you are joining us on the Mixology please send me the info ASAP.

Woop Woop we are getting closer!!

Hi, What is a mixology? Its my first cruise

 

[shinya]

Ok... I'm going to place the order for the wristbands (see post 360) on Thursday. I will have them at our meet and greet. I have a paypal account you can send the money to it is angelitawghs@yahoo. I believe you can login and "send" money. Its $1.00 per wristband, once you send thru paypal please PM me so I can add your paid amount on my spreadsheet. I'm going to order 100 wristbands if anyone wants more than originally requested you can pay for it and I will make sure you get it. If there are any left over I will buy them. Any questions let me know.

Hi DisneyLove58 I just ordered my 6 wristbands from you,thanks
