It worked out just fine for us once we got over being a little shy during the first meal...after that we were chatting all over the place! ha..ha..ºoº
Originally Posted By DlandDug I have been on three cruises now. The first was with a friend.

The second cruise was with the NFFC, and the tables were all members of the club. Obviously, we had a great time at the meals. The third cruise was with Jamie and the kids. (Officially our honeymoon.) We were seated at a table for four of our own. We were a bit disappointed not to have other table mates, but still had a great time.

The kids are also getting excited since dad decided to fly them all out to WDW to spend 5 days there with us. He got them their own condo & park hoppers! I'm mentally pretty much packed. I may have actually started loading the suitcases, but he surprised me with a quick trip to Hawaii last week!

Originally Posted By princesscyndi We just got back from the cruise yesterday & had a wonderful time!! As compared to the NCL boats, the Wonder is small. The suite was the same catagory we'd stayed at on the NCL boat, & had most of the same stuff, but smaller too. The crew treated us great & one of the photographers really made the trip! His name was Lui. Our food servers didn't do as well at remembering my special needs as I thought they should, but were friendly & were willing to try to please. The shows were fun. They didn't tell us there was a planned formal night & our reservations for Palo was on a different night...so that meant more shopping! So while in Nassau we hit some shops that sold formal dresses. In Nassau the helicopter company lost our reservations for the trip out to Pearl Island. So we got a LONG air tour of the whole area. It was fun & got to see where Johnny Depp & Oprah have homes. It has no roads & they get there by boat. Atlantis resort is beautiful from above! In Castaway Cay we snorkeled & he fed the Rays. Ernesto meant we left about 30 minutes early since a band of heavy rain & wind came in. The capt. found a nice sunny area for our day at sea. I don't think we'll do the Carribean through Disney...I liked the NCL boat better. I also liked the food better. Disney was good, but kinda bland. Just wanted to update y'all. We loved having the grandkids with us at WDW afterward!! That was an absolute joy!!!

It looked like Christmas when we walked in! Of course I had to pay for these items, but it was all worth it. On our next trip I plan on just getting some goodies to eat and I am bringing some of the decorations to decorate myself. It was fantastic!! ºoº
