We just got home from a 3 night cruise on the Wonder, and I have to say it wasn't the trip we hoped it would be. Not that we blame DCL - we just had absolutely terrible weather!
The temperature was cool (low 50's) when we left, and the winds were up to 40 knots while we were at sea. Because of this, we were unable to visit Castaway Cay (the most anticipated part of the cruise for me). The rough seas made everyone in our family seasick, except my husband, and none of us are are feeling completely right, even after two days back on land!
It's hard not to feel disappointed after reading all of the posts on this board about how enjoyable everything was for others (especially Castaway Cay). We tried to make the best of it (so as not to completely ruin the trip for our two DD's 6 & 9), but it's hard to enjoy yourself when the weather is bad, and you're too seasick to enjoy the food!
Was anyone else on the 2/28 cruise? Does anyone know whether DCL would be willing to offer us a discount voucher for a future cruise since we missed Castaway Cay (and had such miserable weather)? It would have to be a major discount for me to convince my husband to go again.
Here's hoping others don't have the same experience!!
