We recently went on Blackbeard's Cay Stingray adventure & had a great time. I have 2 DS's, ages 12 & 9. Took a boat over to Blackbeard's Cay, about 20 minutes if that. Then the dock separates the water in 2 - on the left is where the stingrays (stingers removed) are kept (a net is placed around...
Bring underwater cameras for snorkeling (bought them at Wal Mart); wear a tshirt when snorkeling so the back doesn't burn; bring a nightlight or leave the closet door light on w/ the door slightly ajar; board as soon as possible, eat at the buffet then go swimming as it's not as crowded at that...
Lookingforward - Just do it! I am a single mom & took my 2 DS's (ages 9 & 12) on the Wonder 5/26-5/29. We had a blast & definitely a trip of a lifetime!
We drove down from North Carolina & even that was a great trip. I have never taken the boys far away like this & it was also the 1st cruise...

The Magic For Less through cruisecompete.com beat everyone's prices, including AAA & Costco, bumped us to a cat 6 verandah. Same price for a cat 6 as the others quoted me for a cat 10 & some places a cat 11.
I originally thought I could only afford an inside room however someone on these boards suggested using www.cruisecompete.com & I actually got a quote for a cat 6 veranda from The Magic For Less TA (through cruisecompete) which was only $50 more than an inside stateroom. We went 5/26-5/29/05 &...
You have to vacate your rooms though by 8a. HiHo...HiHo was right re: 6:45a breakfast time for early seating & 8a for late seating. Remember you have to take your carry on luggage with you to breakfast so pack accordingly. We went to BBB for buffet, brought it back to the room & then left by 8a...
Hydster - Thank you for the info! My sons are 9 & 12 yo so they can tell me if they are starting to feel sick. They both do fine riding in the car & have done fine in a boat on the lake, etc, so will play it by ear. Any particular reason for eating an apple? Just curious
Hydster - since you gave your dd meclazine but you said your 2 ds's didn't need it, I assume that you didn't give anyone the medicine & just saw how things went?? Wasn't sure whether to be pro active & treat empiracly or treat as needed. Thank you for all that information - it was great!
We sail this Thursday (myself, DS 9 & 11yo) for the first time ever! Why do you prefer PC over BBB? Just wondering what to do. I had thought going to BBB to be outside & for the view but . . . .
Thank you
I leave this Thursday on the Wonder w/ my 2 DS's. I have never been seasick before & being a single mom don't want to start now (first cruise for all of us) - what time of day is recommended to take the once daily dose of Bonine or does it make a difference?
Thank you!
I need help filling out the documentation forms that are sent prior to the cruise.
1)On the paper titled "Welcome to the Islands of the Bahamas" - For intended night stay, do I put 0 since I'm not actually spending the night there? Also type of accomodations? And hotel name or intended...
You may have already tried them, but I used www.cruisecompete.com. I got an offer for a cat 6 which was cheaper than the other TA's quoted me for a cat 10 (the TA that was the lowest through cruisecompete.com was The Magic for Less however their quote not going through cruisecompete.com was...
