We are excited. We're booked in a Sideways room...Virtual porthole.

We've been calling it

"Double Dipping Dreams before the School Bell Rings" all day today. This will be the last week before school commences in Texas so that will be our big 'send off to summer' prior to School starting the following Monday.

We'll be celebrating (although about a week early) our wedding anniversary as well.

My kiddos are so excited. It is sooooo far away though.

I bet the list of families grows fast. I was surprised this sailing was considerably cheaper than just one week prior.

 

[cruisinpenguin]

What category did you get? We book cat 9A deluxe oceanview very front of ship deck 7. I agree, prices were not bad. Can't wait to go to Castaway twice!!

I booked this cruise for my DW and I this morning. I'm hoping we can keep this date, but it all depends on what date my DD and her soon-to-be fiance decide to get married. It could through a monkey wrench into mom and dad's plans.

Below, is the price I received, when I called at 8am this morning:

Cat. 10A 2A $1652.34 excludes transfers/insurance

The price was $779.00pp, I am paying $769.00pp for our 4 day cruise in April 2010 for the same category cabin.

Hey Steve and Lisa!

We're over in Rensselaer County, yeah, I know the signature says Albany! Looks like we'll be close cruise buddies! The Dream will be our 9th cruise. We're booked for Aug 2010 on the Wonder, the price is nutts!!! I agree we might dump it and go with RCCL.

Hey neighbor! I can't believe the difference in price between the 7th and the 16th. It's like they made a mistake or something. I was so sure the prices were going to be through the roof. (like the 2010 5-nighter's) Very glad I was wrong! I just may switch categories before the week is out. I keep looking at those aft balconies! lol

 

[TVEPFOX]

Snicksed, you said you were booked on a 5 night in August 2010, which one are you on? We're on the Aug 7, 2010 DD to CC. I just can't get enough CC!

I agree. We gave our TA 8/7 as the first choice and 8/16th as our 2nd if cheaper. BOY was it cheaper!
