Hi all, hope to be on this cruise.....

See alot of faces we have met before....

Hey Pete! What fun it would be if we all get to go. What a great reunion it would be.

Question for you SEASONED cruisers. How do you make SURE you can book on opening day for reservations? Will we have some advanced warning on when that will be? Would we be better off having a TA book for us? THANKS! My DS & I are SOOOOOO on this cruise!!!!!!!!!!!

For the repos last year - there was advanced notice so I am sure there will be this time as well. As for the best route to go - you can either book yourself and then turn it over to a TA if you would like to deal with anything else you need or find a TA that specializes in Disney (they understand the need to book quickly) Or you can book it yourself and just take care of it directly with Disney. Something to keep in mind though with a TA - yours is not the only one they are booking and if the last repo is any indication - things go fast! So keep in mind that the TA will do the best they can for you as they do want you to be happy but they can't guarantee anything. We booked directly last time and turned it over to a TA - now I am a TA so this time my DH will book us while I work on other's arrangements.

We went on the EB Repo and loved it! We will be going on this one as well. I hope that we go back to Aruba as that was my favorite. I am hoping for a few new ports just to see something new. We will be traveling with our DD who will be 14 at the time of sailing.

Thanks for the answers!! What time can you start calling/booking? I'm assuming you need to book over the phone (or will it be available online)??

I don't remember what time the bookings open, but whether you use phone or online -- some people have a phone and online going at the same time when bookings open and go with whichever makes it through first.

I don't know who the scooter lady is but I'm hoping to get my scooter husband on board. I promise he won't be bad. He'll wait for elevators and not run anyone over unless they dart out in front of him. He only hit one person on the entire trip last time and that was at the very end in the terminal. It was really the guys fault but DH felt so bad. Some people don't realize that they don't have brakes.

Have you seen the thread from someone just off the Wonder?

Obviously all speculation, but here are a couple of key things (well at least for the Wonder in 2011) that popped out at me!

5. Lots of crew members were talking about the new ships & new itineraries. I mentioned that I was on the EB Panama & it would be exciting to do it again on the Wonder. The cast member said yes 2/11 should be an exciting time for the Wonder. I asked if that meant the PC cruise was planned for Feb. The answer: well things can always change.

6. Crew members also said the the Wonder would be sailing Mexico & Alaska. I asked about Hawaii. Again, I was told well things can always change.

Hi Kay,

Have I cruised with you before?

 

[KayR]

Hi Kay,

Have I cruised with you before?

Only if you were on the Jan 19th 2008 Eastern. That was our first and only cruise.

I hope they change Acapulco for somewhere else as not many people really enjoyed that stop last May.

Yep. As a fellow passenger on that trip with Marilyn last year I too hope they cancel Acapulco and add a different location. I'm hoping for Cartagena and/or Mazatlan this time.

And as for the cruise, my wife, LuvBaloo, and I are hoping to go again in 2011! We had such a good time last time.

Hey Bruce! Yep it would be great to go back to Cabo. Hopefully this one works for us as well. Be nice for a good "Thieves" reunion.

Bruce... come back... we're still talking...

Well if V is on this one ....


then you'd better count us in!!

Is this thread prepared to get overrun by the Thieves?

 

[Tink rules]

You, Me, V, Bubba and V... is Gaylean thinking about it???

This could get interesting...

Ken... make sure you remember to bring enough memory cards...

Planky may be hanging out with your wife and G in the bars...

You won't need it twisting will you V?

I hope they change Aruba... been there... seen it... can do without the cactus and the goats...

Hi Marilyn, Bubba and I are seriously thinking about doing it again.

I second this. I would just stay on the ship



We also got a portion of our excursion refunded as the tour co held us semi hostage in a store at the cliff divers. Not fun.

We did too and we didn't get a refund...

This would be SO cool... we just have to talk a few others into it... (Nan...Ian...Sukie...) They're stubborn you know...

Radioclash was on the EB Repo last year, so she would have asked lots of good questions about the Wonder Repo.
