Originally Posted By RoadTrip Joy, Our experience was very similar to yours. Our first night out was also quite rough... 20+ mph winds and 8+ ft seas. We also felt like we were walking around drunk. I wondered if our walking would feel normal if we got drunk, but Ann didn't want to experiment. LOL Even though it was a very odd sensation we didn't have problems with nausea though. If you are prone to it I've heard good things about the Scop ear patch you used. We agree with you about Nassau... next time we will use that day to enjoy the various activities on the ship that we didn't have time for this trip. The day spent at Castaway Cay was delightful and a highlight of the cruise. The odor you experienced in the bathroom was NOT normal. Something must not have been working properly... we had no odor at all in our bathroom. Did you ever get up to Deck 10 to walk around? We did it our last night at sea and it was fun. It gave a really good view of all the activities on Deck 9. We went to the railing at the fore end of the ship and had the same view they showed on the stateroom TV as the "view from the bridge". With the wind rushing in your face you could really tell how surprisingly fast the ship was moving through the water. I almost felt like climbing on top of the railing and doing the "I'm the king of the world!" thing but common sense prevailed. We also really enjoyed the Wavebands Club and spent the late evening there two of our three nights at sea. Our favorite was karaoke night... an absolute BLAST! Wow... just reliving the experience while writing this makes me want to go again soon!

Originally Posted By tapdancemom Joy and RoadTrip, sounds great. Can't wait for March and our cruise to get here. Did either of you do the FE exchange. I found out about it on DisBoard, sounds fun, I know Andre will like giving and getting all the little gifts. We've cruised alot and often there is a bad bathroom odor. We always bring some room spray. Joy how large was your balcony and was it a solid wall or clear glass front? Any feedback about the kids clubs? How about the shows, I here they are fantastic.
Originally Posted By Disney Joy tapdancemom ^^ my balcony was clear glass front. I checked that before I left. Room 8040 was great. It is midship. Oh yes I will have spray come next Sept is my target date. Not sure where going yet but I need a 7 dayer at least. All shows to me were very good and worth seeing at least once. Loved " Dreams" Toy Story and Hidden Mickeys were good especially if you had little ones. There really is soooo much to do. So many characters all over the place. It was fun to see what outfit Mickey would be wearing the next day. Him and Minnie do dress up fancy for formal night. Only hubby and I went so did not do any kids stuff. From the website it looks amazing and also from the faces of the kids I did see on the boat. They were having a blast. In Waveclub there were a few parents getting paged at 12midnight to come get there little ones. They didn't wanta go. ) You will have a good time. If I took kids I would be less concern about the room. I think you're be so busy you won't be there much. I don't know what FE is. Gift exchange?
Originally Posted By tapdancemom Thanks for the feedback...I'm sure Andre (9) will have a fabulous time...just like Nanna and grandpa. FE is short for fish extender, it's the hook right next to the cabin door. Each sailing date can have a gift exchange. DisBoards has alot of information. I went to the Cruise Line board and found our cruise date. Someone had already started a group for our date. You sign up and list all the people in your cabin or cabins. You get a Fish Exntender (usally a fabric hanger with pockets, decorate all "Disney". You give out a small gift to each person by dropping it off in their FE. I think I'm going to get a bunch of blank CDs and make a complitation of Disney and beach music. That will be easy to pack and not take a lot of space in the suitcase. You should check out the website and read some of the FE threads. Which Disney cruise are you taking next?
Originally Posted By Disney Joy tapdancemom ^^ That sounds like fun and kinda explain this one door i saw with all this stuff on it. I think there were names also. I'll have to read up on that. I plan to start looking at cruises this weekend to see what is next. It will be a different ship .. probably on to the Magic. I want to go on each boat. Dream would be nice, but don't expect too many deals as I read its filling up fast. So I can wait until year after if need to. My goal is Europe with the ultimate the Transalantic....but probably the Caribbean both 1st... and one day Alaska probably last. There are just so many possibilities now. Totally EXCITED ! So the Fun starts this weekend. Planning is a big part of the fun for me. )
