Jan 14th, 2018 7-Night Southern Caribbean from San Juan

I know we have a year to go but it has been awhile since we have cruised, I was wondering where you would find fish extender links?
 
Just wondering if anyone has thought about Hotels yet? Last time we stay at the San Juan Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino. It was a beautiful hotel with both a pool and beach. Just looking for other ideas...
 
We just booked this cruise, actually moved our MerryTime cruise to this one. The new ports look like a ton of fun. This will be our 9th Disney cruise, and 3rd on the Wonder. We're going to Alaska this June (again) and can't wait to scope out all the changes. By the time we sail our girls will be 13 and 8. Can't wait!
 
Just booked this cruise! Our first cruise EVER! So excited, I didn't think I would ever talk my DH into a cruise! We are both so excited the wait is going to be torture
 


I just booked this cruise. It will be our second Disney cruise and our second time on the Wonder. I cannot wait! Does anyone know how to find out if there has been a facebook page created for this specific cruise, yet? TIA!

You can do a search on fish extender and get all sorts of information. If you have any problems finding any let me know and I will direct you to some.

:welcome: to you all!
 


We'll be on this sailing as well. Really excited for the ports of call. Can't wait!!!

Just my husband and I this time. :banana:
 
My precruise hotel is the Disney Wonder!!! Ours is a B2B with the repo cruise before this one.
 
Just wondering where most people are staying? We are looking at the Marriott Resort &Stellaris Casino.

We booked our flights through DCL earlier this month. At that time they said the Marriott is still one of their two contracted hotels there. I guess the Hilton Caribe will be off the list on 12/31/17. They said they don't have a contract signed with anyone else yet. Has anyone heard anything different? I guess they usually have two.

I really don't want to pay $394 a night through Disney at the Marriott. I'll book on my own, or wait until the new hotel name is released. We usually just book those kinds of thing on our own though. I would have booked the airfare separately, but it was the same price as directly through Delta.

Hello everyone !
Just booked the b2b , this plus the Jan 9 Galveston to San Juan. This will be our 21st Disney cruise and we're excited. We did the Southern Caribbean last year...beautiful beaches ! We'll probably book a couple of day passes through Resortforaday.com. Have used them several times . Looking forward to chatting with everyone. Would like to do the FE .
 
We just did the Wonder / San Juan cruise last winter. It was great. Funny story about our experience. Last winter we did the second of the three cruises (this year we are doing the first of the three). We arrived two days early and booked a really neat hotel in Old San Juan (The Gallery Inn). So we arrived in the afternoon on Friday and were picked up at the airport. Our driver said he had good news and bad news.

The good new is that the Festival of San Sebastian was this week end. It is a street festival with lots of music, parades, etc. Kind of a G rated Mardis Gras. It is very popular and a lot of fun.


The bad new is that all roads in San Juan have been closed for the festival. He can only drive to the edge of the old city. We have to walk from there. My wife is not in good shape for walking. There were no exceptions for the mobility challenged. We had to walk up a steep hill, then about a quarter of a mile to our hotel, dragging our cruise baggage. People did offer to help, but my wife is stubborn and was going to do it on her own. With many a rest break we got there. The walk was along the top of the old city wall, so the views were great.

Street festivals are not our thing. We did enjoy walking around during the festival, and our hotel had balconies that looked out over streets filled with people and the occasional impromptu parades. So we did have fun.

Getting from the hotel to the ship on Sunday was also a problem. The streets were still closed. The hotel put us in a stretched golf cart and got us out early. If we had waited the streets would have been too crowded for the cart to get through. All the taxis had been diverted to a single area and we caught one there. The down side is that we were at the cruise terminal about 3 hours before I wanted to be there.

So what will happen in 2018 on this cruise? The event does not have a date for that year yet, so I am not sure. My best guess is that this cruise will return during the festival. That should not be a problem as it does not dock in old San Juan (at least it didn't last year). It docks on the other side of the channel, so the buses to the airport should not have any issues.

Oh my what a story !! Hopefully old Sebastian won't be there this time !
 
I just booked this cruise. It will be our second Disney cruise and our second time on the Wonder. I cannot wait! Does anyone know how to find out if there has been a facebook page created for this specific cruise, yet? TIA!

DH just booked this trip for our family. This will be our fourth Disney cruise and the Wonder is the only ship we have not sailed on so I am super excited! Three of these stops will be new to us. He booked everything through Disney so we will be staying at the Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino.

I found a facebook group for this cruise under the name- Disney Wonder - Southern Caribbean Cruise January 14, 2018. If any one else know of other groups or a FE specific group please let me know!
 
Ready to start the FE list. Let me know if you are interested. Need names, ages and sex of children, celebrations?, and an email address.
 
We booked this cruise a few months ago. We were on the 2014 September Southern Caribbean cruise and absolutely loved it.

I'm traveling with DD15, DD12, DS2 and my parents.

I read somewhere the San Sebastian festival is going on the weekend we disembark (not the weekend we embark) so precruise should be fine but postcruise might have a bit of a problem.
