One of our two Disney cruises was about this time. The weather in the Caribbean is generally pretty lovely. We had one amazing day at Castaway Cay and one windier one. It was warm and sunny the rest of the days. I've never had anything but heat and sun in Cozumel!

Does anyone have any experiance with the nursary on board? I haven't been able to find a whole lot of details about it yet. It's probably the only part of the trip that is causeing me some stress, but I'm probably worrying for nothing. We have been very lucky that my mom has been able to watch him while DH and I work, so we haven't had any experience with day care yet. He will be going to daycare part time by the end of the summer so logically I know he will be most likely be fine in the nursary by the time the crusie come. He is going through a big stranger danger phase right now so I'm worried he will freak out if we leave him in there.

We will have a 1.5 year old going. Everything ive read is awesome and very inviting.

PowerHouse47, that's nice to hear. My little guys will be a month shy of 2 when we go. It nice to know there will be other toddlers for DS to play with. He is just starting to really play with his 2 year old cousin rather then just playing next to her. It fun to watch them interact.

I've heard that the early you get everyone to the kids club the better; early friendships form. I love my kids and spending time with them. BUT... this is our first cruise together, so we plan to utilize the Daycare programs a lot. We're definitely taking the Fam to CC, but the daycare programs are still going on for other Ports. So we may do our own adult adventures in Grand Cayman/Cozumel.

Welcome, everyone!!

For those of you who want to do FE, one of you will need to take charge of the process! I'm just keeping a roll call of all of us, so we get used to who is from where and with what family/friends.

Here in SE Michigan, we're going to be above freezing for more than a day for the first time in ages. I'm so very excited. My husband is already planning on walks we can take for the "nice" weather and especially with the time change on Sunday!

 

[hmwinter85]

I will step up and take charge of the FE for our cruise. I've never done one before but I'm sure I can handle it. I do love my spreadsheets!

First time cruiser - I'll be traveling with a friend who is also a first timer. We are both huge Disney fans and so excited for our adventure! Any tips/must dos for adults would be appreciated!

Any advice or tips for debarkation day... Traveling with 3 kids, luggage, and a car seat.... Flight doesn't leave until 7pm. So we have some time to kill. Any suggestions that won't cost a killing? And for anyone that has done this before... What is the usual debarkation time (I know they start at 7:30 but looking to see what people usually do) and how long it takes to get on the shuttle to the airport? Thanks!!!

Were First timers too, been doing lots of reading. My Wife and I are excited for the Adult classes you can sign up for.
The most I've seen is around $20 a person, and there are Wine, Beer, different hard alcohol tastings and a Mixology class. Each day you might find a couple to sign up for. We also here the late night club acts are good, I am skeptical in seeing a Juggler or Ventriloquist, but I heard they're good. Lastly, there is a drink passport of sorts, its around $60, and you get a portfolio and stop by the different bars for specialty drinks that have to be checked off. Drinks are included in the price and you get a couple drinks free with it. Its like EPCOT meets Drink around the Ship! And for Star Wars I heard one of the Bars will be dressed up to mimic the Tatooine Cantina Bar (maybe with characters too!)
