Booking Disney Cruise line

Ok I wont talk numbers here... just details.

We booked our cruise less then 55 days to cruise so we got a 'special' rate.  We have no idea where our room is, we wont know until we get to the ship.  We booked a room with a window or two. Depends on what we get I guess.  After booking we saw we could have booked a room with a balcony for a few bucks more and well since we got a special rate the only way to change it would be to cancel our current booking and rebook. The problem was that the cancellation fee was 100% the cost of the trip so well that didnt make sense.

I called Disney Cruise line and they told me the same thing, but they also said to wait till we get to the pier and ask.  There may be something available. So we are basically on standby.  It does make planning a little tricky since we are not sure where we will be on the ship.  We could be on ANY deck!  If we knew we could plan ahead meaning, we would know how close the restaurant is to our room, and the pool and everything else.

I guess it does not really matter as long as we have fun right?

Well on the website you can start planning your off shore excursions and on the ship activities, mainly the spa and adult restaurant.

The cruise we are taking is an 8 night trip from NY to the Bahamas - this trip includes a one day hopper pass to the Disney Theme parks the day we are 'parked' in Port Canaveral. Its the only day we will have to get a meal for our selves.

While I castaway cay I read all our meals are included, in Nassau we shouldnt be so far away that we cant go back to the ship and eat. We have been there before.

I am going to try to write everything down and blog it all when I get back. We are so excited to be able to take this trip!

Finally a trip planned!

Ok  this year was looking very dismal for vacations... we have 3 weeks to use in our timeshare and well dunno if thats happening. We have spoke of using it during Christmas, just get away from our family you know.

Anyhow, we just booked a cruise on Disney!  8 night cruise from NY - its hitting Nassau, Cape Cay and Port Canaveral.  Oh we are so excited!

We got a passport for our youngest child - took record time to get it - just two weeks!  And in about 40 days we will be in the ocean! I love taking cruises.

OK we have been to Nassau before, but my daughter has not. I am so looking forward to this trip as it may be the only trip we take this year.

I will blog our trip, keep posted.
