Andy and I are scuba diving before the cruise with

On Sunday, January 23 at 11am, we'll be doing the Crystal River Dive
Trip at 11am.

On Tuesday, January 25 at 8am, we'll be doing the Blue Grotto & Devils
Den Cavern Dives.

These dives leave from Crystal River and we're staying at Animal
Kingdom/DVC.

We're driving each day (roughly 2 hours) and are willing to take
another pair of divers.

We're also planning to dive with Stuart Cove in Nassau but haven't
arranged that yet.

Does anyone know if it's true that the bed can not be split? How do you know which cat 4s have the Murphy bed. My son is too big now for the bunk(14) and I'm sure does not want to sleep with me. We are in 9078

I was told the bed can not be split like they do on the Wonder & Dream, however, my suggestion would be to call and see what they do to accommodate your situation. Maybe they have roll away beds?

Just wanted to add our thanks to everyone for the lanyards, and those of you who have done so much work with the rosters, FE list, stateroom tour, etc. You have gone the extra mile to ensure a great cruise will be an even greater experience!

Looking forward to meeting everyone!

Blessings - Lin and Andy

Those are good dives for sure, I really liked the cavern dives Blue Grotto was more fun to me, talk about clear water, rainbow river is also a fun river drift dive. these will be chilly dives.

Stuart Cove is a very good dive operator, Lynn still thinks the bus ride to the west side of New Providence is a real e ticket ride.

Finished FE gifts and door decorations last night! Now its time to start packing~ Woohoo!!!

I can't find anywhere on the DCL site a listing of Emergency Contact numbers if someone back home were to need to get a hold of us on the boat.

Any thoughts?

Did you get your cruise documentation booklet? There is a page in there where you can cut out cards for contact information. The number is 1-888-DC-AT-SEA (322-8732)

Hope that helps.

In the spiral small book that may or may not have included the cruise contract (depending on whether or not you did that on line before they sent them out) there is a pull out page with contact number for someone not traveling with you. Basically says you can reach the ship at 1-888-DC-AT-SEA (322-8732) and that satellite telephone rates apply and can be significantly higher than traditional long distance. (I once hear $7.50 a minute). Hope this helps.

 

[dsiind]

I still have not gotten my cruise docs from my travel agent, but this is great, thanks!

 

[DisneyPinDiva]

9 more days! I'm already mostly packed!! Too much going on between now and the cruise... so gotta get it done!
The more videos and pictures I see of the Dream, the more excited I get! Can't wait!!

Would love to but - brr, it is cold for us this time of year. Let's compare notes on board the ship. We are passing on Stuart Cove to stay on board and play on the DREAM. I know, passing on a dive - but we are spoiled, we live here..

Have fun.

So, just got word from one of the folks, on the roster that they are having Mini buttons made for each and every person on the roster!
How Kewl is that !

I am told that they will look great on the lanyard.
And they will be given out with the lanyards.


LANI - "Lani and Alex" - Bringing Special " Dream " mini-buttons to go with the lanyards one for each person on the roster.

I also know of a couple other items!!!





Ok, Well the Roster is now CLOSED

Of course I will make changes for you people upgrading at the last minute!

And I have a few more changes to make yet.


Wooooooooo Hooooooooooooooo I'm going cruising.


Ken, thank you for all your hard work!

Peter

there is a page in cruise documents with tear out cards with the number

 

[Thistle]

Oh YES!!!! Thank you to everyone on the hard work they've put into making our cruise even more special. I can't wait!!! Got the FE gifts done, and the FE (I do a new one for each cruise) but for the life of me can't think of what to put on our door. Happened the last cruise too, must think of something to do!!

We have boarded in PC tons of times and there is always Captain Mickey and Sailor Minnie out for photos (not at the same time). sometimes you will see Pluto or Goofy walk through but they may have more for the MV. I actually don't remember what they had when we boarded in LA for the PC cruise back in 2005.

The building itself is beautiful...there are TV that play cartoons for the kids...no real activities but we just like the excitement in the room while waiting to board after we check in.

Be sure to check out the model of the ship in the middle of the room - it is quite amazing!

If anyone has more info on this I would appreciate it...I am sailing with two friends...none us would be happy sharing a bed( )...I seriously hope Disney has taken this into account.

UPDATE: ok - I just got off the phone with DCL...it is true, the beds DO NOT SPLIT. I am "lucky" enough to be in a "quad" room - we have the drop down bed as well as the queen and murphy bed....I am stunned DCL made this choice.

sigh.
