Fish Extender
I think the November date sounds good also. I see other people have a 75 day cut off, so I think that will be fair. The pay off day was the other day, so I am sure that a couple more weeks will give people time to decide if they want to do it or not. My boy's do not know we are coming either, and it will be part of their Christmas gift since we just cruised Disney in September. I would like to go ahead and get started on what I am doing while they are at school during the day. I will wait for others to chime in before we decide.
Excursions
I have done a lot of research on this, and I think we are going to book our own excursions. One of you were asking about beaches. I have seen a couple good reviews about Paradise and Nachi Cochum(spelling) in Cozumel. I have also seen a lot about Sea Grape in Cayman.
I think what we are going to do is the Turtle Farm through Boatswains. You save 20% if you book online. I read that they put you on the same boat as the people who book through
DCL. Here is their website.

In Cozumel I haven't decided. We might go to Paradise Beach, and we might just walk down to Margaritaville and play on the water toys there. You can google pics. Here is an email I got from Paradise Beach.
Hola Jessica!
Greetings from sunny Cozumel, Mexico and the best beach club on the island
PARADISE BEACH!! The quickest and easiest way to get to our wonderful
beach club is to take a taxi from your cruise ship terminal. There are
literally hundreds of them outside of the terminal, so just hop in one and
say, "Take me to PARADISE beach!" It is about a 10-15 minute taxi ride and
runs about US$14 each way for up to four people. There are also taxi VANS
that can hold up to 8 people and cost about US$28 each way.
Paradise Beach offers something for everyone, whether you are wanting to
have some fun in the sun or just take a break in the shade…we have a
little bit of it all. We recently added one of Cozumel’s largest swimming
pools along with two bars, additional changing rooms, bathrooms and shops.
This is all in addition to what everyone has always known and loved – THE
BEACH.
For the use of our facilities (including the rental of lounge chairs) we
charge $2 with a $10 minimum food and/or drink consumption on the beach or
at the pool. We have two full bars with drink specials, including the
famous tropical drinks served inside a whole coconut or pineapple. Plus
our waiters offer full menu service on the beach, so you don’t even have
to get out of your lounge chair to order food or a cold beverage. You can
check out our menu on our web-site at
http://www.paradise-beach-cozumel.com
For the kids, and the kids at heart, we offer a FUN-PASS which gives you
unlimited play time with the kayaks, full snorkel gear, paddle boards,
water trampolines, 14-ft. climbing iceberg, water slides, a floating
multi-tiered Jungle Joe climbing structure, the Rock-it circular water
rocker, water mats, coconut tree climb and bungee-trampoline jump, all
this for just $12 usd. There isn't necesarily a minimum age for the toys,
but the water is a little deep around the toys and a young child will not
be able to stand. Life jackets are included in the $12 Fun-Pass fee, we
just ask for you to leave an ID as a deposit.
We also have several extra activities available at Paradise Beach
including parasailing, wave runner rentals, banana boat rides,
hair-braids, temporary tattoos, internet (free!) and heavenly massages on
the beach.
Please let me know if you have any other questions or need any additional
information. We look forward to seeing you soon!
Gracias!
