The hotel we stayed in was lovely and it had the most amazing ceilings and decorations. My mam and I made friends with a large group of people and we had a laugh every night.

The one thing that was uncomfortable was the amount of men trying to get you into their shop or cafe. They would all stand outside and shout at you whilst you were walking in the street. Also you would have them trying to put scarfs or beads on you and demand money. I was ok with it -my mam said I had my cross teacher stare on - but my mam found it very stressful . Saying that though it did not spoil the holiday.

I'm so glad you guys had a great time! Great pictures, too. Thanks for sharing!

I'm jumping ship on you two - Disney called yesterday and had a 2 bedroom suite open up on the June 6th sailing so we grabbed it

We had wanted an earlier cruise but had to wait until August 1st to get the suite so now we get our cake and get to eat it too

I'm going to follow this thread and I hope others jump on board so you can have a great time with fellow DISers

Take care and I'm so glad I met you on the boards

Grandma Debby

Oh Debby -- I'm so glad you got what you wanted, but really sad that now it's just down to my family and Helen's. I hope you have a great trip!

Helen -- what are we going to have to do to get the lurkers to post?

Or we could try and get the rest of the 2006 bunch to book and make it a reunion cruise

I think that is an excellent idea!

MrsJobba1 · 03-01-2008, 04:30 PM

Hi
Just wanted to say

to anyone who is going on our cruise. Please feel free to introduce yourself. Or lurk for a while if you donot feel comfortable.

This will be my 6th cruise and I live in the Uk. I am a primary school teacher. I met Marci on my 4th cruise and it is a happy co-incidence that we have both booked this cruise.

I will be travelling with my dh.

MrsJobba1 · 03-02-2008, 03:04 AM

Its 16 months and 4 weeks now !!!

Getting closer!

to the countdown!

marcij · 03-03-2008, 06:41 AM

Good morning U.S. and good afternoon to Helen. This will be our 5th Disney cruise, and I'll be celebrating a birthday on it.

I'm CFO for a communications training company that trains people how to communicate through the media, presentation skills, or how to be a good ambassador for the company you work for.

I'll be on this cruise with my DH, DS 13 and DS10 (ages at time of cruise) and possibly some neighbors.

Join in with us and learn a little about the other people cruising. It's really fun to walk around the ship/Islands and see people that we have met.

MrsJobba1 · 03-06-2008, 04:18 PM

Good night - or should I say good evening?

I'm looking forward to the weekend as Dave and I are going to Crufts (the biggest dog show in the world!) - not competing just watching and shopping!

Welcome to all

Welcome to all

Hi Helen. Did you and Dave enjoy the dog show? Is this the end of the show season?

MsLeFever · 03-10-2008, 10:47 AM

Hello ladies!

Just talked to my folks and they've booked us for this cruise!

Traveling will be - my parents - celebrating their 50th wedding anniversery

Me and DH and kids DS 11 and DD 7 (when we cruise)

My brother and his wife. (well - she will be by then - they get married in Sept)

I am beyond excited - this is our first ever cruise and I'm sorta a rabid planner so I'm excited to learn all about Disney cruising!

MsLeFever · 03-13-2008, 08:32 AM

The cruise DVD came today and I'm just waiting for my son to watch it (He's the other "disneyfreak" in the family).

We've got our room assignments and I bought the Birnbaum book.

I was considering getting the passporter too....have either of you ever used that?

marcij · 03-13-2008, 11:17 AM

Barbara -- welcome to our small but enthusiastic group! I probably already posted this earlier, but my sons will be 13 and 10 when we sail. Helen is a very experienced cruiser, so she'll be good for questions, and hopefully I can help with questions on sailing with kids.

I like the Passporter book much more than Birnbaum's.

Thanks for posting!

Grandma Debby · 03-13-2008, 03:21 PM

Even though I jumped ship I'm still watching you guys

I agree with Marci that the Passporter is wonderful for planning and the envelopes are great for writing down reservations, etc and then you have a place to make notes at night about the day. I'm planning on picking up the new Passporter in 2009 as they keep really current on excursions
