I have spent the last 2 months reading every single TR in this forum in preparation for our second Disney Cruise. We had cruised out of NY in May of 2012 and loved it so I cancelled the Carnival cruise I had scheduled for September and booked the October 8th Magic to the Bahamas.
Fast forward to 2 days before the cruise. I get an email from Disney stating that our cruise is now going to Canada instead of the caribbean cruise I dreamed of. I quickly went to my Disney website and researched the excursions. I have to say we were really bummed. I had planned this cruise to get my Disneyworld fix for the year and my daughter enjoys the beach and swimming.
Therefore I made a quick decision to cancel. We were offered a complete refund and 20% off a future cruise. A quick email to my TA and she was able to book us on the cruise leaving the following week. The only difference is that it was 7 days rather than 8, excluding Nassau. Okay...I saved $600 just on the Atlantis excursion so I was happy. Even better I got a $1,000 credit and was able to upgrade to a verandah cabin. A win/win.
I had joined a FE group on FB for my original cruise and had all of my stuff packed. I was debating what to do when I joined the new FB group and believe it or not there was a lot of use "refugees" so to speak, that moved over so we were able to create a new FE group. All I had to do was change some name tags and believe it or not I had just enough stuff.
Do I have to tell you how slow the next week went?
