Not sure if anyone already put together a meet/greet roster, and I hope I'm not overstepping my bounds. I went through this board and started a list of the families on the cruise - feel free to add or remove any information you'd like. Would everyone like to get together for a meet/greet upon boarding? On our last Magic cruise we met in the Promenade Lounge before sailaway and it was great to get to meet everyone at once!

1. How many
DCL have you been on? This is our 4th. First was 2/2012 and we were instantly addicted! As a family we cruised on 3 other lines before DCL and it's hard to go back!
2. For those who have cruised on DCL (or any cruise) during Halloween - was the ship crowded? We've never cruised during Halloween but are really excited too!
3. Cozumel - any suggestions for excursions for a 5 year old? We've done Cozumel a few times with young kids. I think our favorites have been either staying on the ship and enjoying it less crowded and then just walking around a bit for souvenirs/food, OR - we hired a cab to take us around the island, saw historical sites, beautiful beaches, local markets, the whole deal - and still had time to enjoy some frozen drinks by the yard at Carlos & Charlie's. I think if you asked my kids - the drinks were probably their favorite part. (Ok, if you asked my husband, he'd probably agree.)
4. Is anyone looking to get a cabana on Castaway Cay? I'd consider it if one was available. We love CC and have never felt like we needed it to spend money to have an amazing day. That being said - our DCL-loving friends say it's an absolute MUST to try.
5. Also, my DD who is typically an introvert and enjoys hanging out with adults more than children strayed away from the kids club last cruise; however, after seeing the final show with the kids performing she has been eager to give it a shot. Anyone else with girls about 5 or 6 aboard? My daughter will be 6 1/2! She's not super outgoing with new folks but does well with the kids club. I was nervous she wouldn't be into the show last cruise but LOVED IT!
6. Where is everyone from? the Tampa area
7. If you have participated in FE in the past, what was your favorite you have received and/or given? We've done the FE 3 times. Favorite gifts - rum (I swear we're not alcoholics), lanyards/pins, coasters, nice pens, notepads, door magnets, a nice cup, sprinkles for ice cream onboard.
