As the date gets closer keep checking because it is 14 months away people may find they either can't afford it or can't get the time off from work or something else happens. There is always the posssiblity someone will cancel.

My guess is that more cancellations will come in for the May Repo as more kids are in school and can't miss 2 weeks of classes. Where August has more dates that are easier for those with kids.

If you have a Disney Cruise Specialist for a TA then you could put a request in for the cruise and have them watch for you but from my experience make sure its a TA you trust as mine hasn't been the greatest and i am just lucky that i Made it on the May REPO more then the anger that i have to pay more because she waited to long.

I was the same way with my 1st cruise i was always dreaming of Cruise Part 2

I know that Travel Agents are not being allowed to hold rooms for this cruise due to its popularity... I am doing the Westbound cruise and Even though I booked a little later than I wanted, I still think I got the best deal, for a Cat. 9 (?) for two people it was $4,093.48

Anyone else coming?

There are several of us on the WB repositioning trip! When we get closer we'll have to set up a meet onboard the ship.

For the moment, we're on the EB reposition cruise. I'm just hoping we can figure out a way to pay for it. We're a family of 6 and we have 2 Cat 5 rooms. The frustrating part is we're being charged adult prices for two of my kids. Maybe the new ships will be more friendly to larger families. We may try to get my brother and his girlfriend to go with us on the cruise, if THEY can afford it.

My family of four (two girls, 9 and 12) and my in-laws are booked for summer 2008!!

We are very excited. This will be our second DCL west coast cruise. We are Cat 10 on deck 7. We were Cat 10 deck 2 last time. Looking forward to seeing what a higher deck will be like. Wished we could have sprung for a Cat 9, maybe an upgrade at check in?

Hi All,

We enquired about the WB repo cruise, and thought about it for a couple of days after we got the quote (cat4 10,000+US for 2A/1C). Then said ok - go for it and wouldn't you know it - by then it was sold out!!! This was in mid-Feb.

So we booked a seven night Mexican cruise for May, in the hopes that the WB cruise might have a cancellation.

Lo and behold, less than 1 week later there was availability in Cat 4! So we are now coming along - myself, hubby and almost 7 year old daughter (by cruise date).

We are so excited!!!

Our travel agent (in New Jersey), did all the bookings for us, kept and eye out for room on the WB cruise, and when it became available, switched us over, without any problems. TA is Small World Vacations, contact is Josephine - she is fantastic, very helpful. She booked our 4 night cruise last year, so we contacted her again.
Give them a try, they may be able to help!

We are also planning a vow renewal ceremony on board (I hope), so this will be an even more special trip.

Does anyone have any tips about vow renewals on board?

Looking forward to hearing from all of you, and meeting up on the cruise!

Leanne - There are several Passporters on that cruise. Keep an eye out for meets as we get closer to the date. I can't help you with info on vow renewals, but I'm sure someone can.

to the boards!

We are on the EB repo in August 2008. We were on the EB repo in August 2005 as well. We did see Dave Marx and his cutie pie baby at an "open house" in one of the Cat 3 1 bedroom suites. I highly recommend this cruise. We had so much fun as a group and plan on having as much fun this time, maybe even MORE!

Wow, I can't believe it! While we were on our Western cruise last week, I got an email from our TA that an opening had appeared for the Westbound Repo cruise, so we nabbed it! Unfortunately, because she had put a hold on it for us, it didn't show up in "the system" so we weren't able to take advantage of the 10% discount for booking onboard, but at this point, I don't care. We're still flying high from the cruise (just got home last night!) and it helps so much to know we have the next one all booked! I didn't cry QUITE so hard at the "Remember the Magic" show, just know for sure I'd be back!

Btw, I just checked, and there is now availability showing in 2 different cagegories for this cruise. Darn it! I sure wish those cancellations had happened 3 days ago!

**iamgrumpy** · 05-13-2007, 11:44 PM

to the westbound Repo!!!! only 11 more months for us to wait!!!!

**pudinhd** · 07-24-2007, 01:57 PM

I am waiting very impatiently, dying for any information from Disney on the West Coast Cruises. I check the website every day hoping they will have added the shore excursion information!

<Sigh!> I suppose I should be happy that we only have 10 months to go!!

Diznyfan68 · 07-28-2007, 10:17 AM

I've been devouring the 5th Edition DCL Passporter to make the time go by until DCL releases the excursion info. I've actually picked out ones that we are interested in for Mexico. My hope is that we will see the excursions listed sometime in Sept or Oct.

Wdstk · 08-13-2007, 04:02 PM

My family and I were on the Aug 2005 repo cruise. We were so excited that we were able to book the Aug 2008 repo. We were even more excited that we could use some of our vacation club points to help with the cost! Please add me to the list so we can all get together on the boat
