I hear Cass got you one of everything!

My Derek will go

when he sees these pics, Cass! And Emily will be upset that she will be 18 and too old, but yet too young for grown up fun, too. Well, at least she will be allowed in the grown up areas, and that will be fun. She's a fun loving nutty girl.

I have to admit I am a bit worried about The Edge Tween Club. I hope there are a lot of activites that involve sports, as my Alex (DS11) is not a "social network" type of tween. He is still a boy--not even close to all the social aspects of tween/teen life. And while I think it's good that they will have video games, I have to say that that is something he can do at home--and does. Now maybe if the video games are involed in tournaments or some such organized activity that would be better. There are lots of boys on our 6/12/11 cruise who are his age, so I imagine there will be at least one with his same interests; luckily he is not shy. I don't know--a mom has to worry, eh?

Thanks for all the great pics of the spa, too. Did they give y'all a list of services with prices in your stateroom? I'd love to do something, but obviously that would depend upon cost.

You are a doll for doing such a wonderfully detailed report for us, Cass!

Do you recall if this was in the Rainforest area?

Seeing those Spa Villas are really tempting me to book a couples thing again. I had talked myself out of it (due to the price), but it looks soooooo relaxing!!

MomsOf2boys · 02-13-2011, 06:04 PM

Great pictures Cass! I am ready for the rainforrest room! Love all the light and windows in the spa. Did you happen to notice the hours for the fitness center? I like to venture there when everyone else is sleeping or taking pictures on the deck.

DizDragonfly · 02-13-2011, 06:05 PM

iPod dock?

Thanks for the pictures of the teen club.

That place looks amazing. I would love to go in there! Those bean bag chairs look so inviting. Disney really does think of everything! Kids who get to go on this cruise have no idea how lucky they are!

Thanks so much again for the amazing Vinyls and all the work you had to go through to get them.

They were so unexpected, but totally appreciated! And you have really renewed my love of collecting them too! You're the best and I am so lucky to have you in my life!

I'm the lucky one

I wish I knew more about the tween club but when I was doing my rounds, they were closed so not only could I not get some photos, I couldn't talk to the CM's. They were busy with the kids when I finally got there. And since they have their own Navigators, I have no idea what they do during the week

I did not see or receive a price lists of spa services anywhere, perhaps they were at the front desk but when I did my tour, the desk were super busy so I just stayed away.

Yes, that was in the Rainforest Room. I heard as I was passing by that they charged extra for those but I didn't hear or see a price. They did such a great job with the spa villas!!

I think it was open 6am until 10pm except for embarkation day

Thank you sooo much for the amazing photos and trip report! I am taking my first cruise in March and I've got a million questions in my mind but your report is answering almost all of them haha. I am curious about one thing though: the spa picture of all the jars and bowls with what looks like soap in them -what is that for? Thank you again!

jenseib · 02-13-2011, 07:28 PM

The spa looks so nice. But I am not a spa kind of girl either. I actually have no clue what you do or get done in there besides a massage, haircut, or manicure!

Of course they do!

I wonder how much? I may just have to stop in at Basin before the cruise.

Awesome! Thanks! I really like the lockers in Vibe. Great for my teens who can't be parted from their iPods, but obviously they can't take them in the pool. They'll also be able to take a backpack down with a bathing suit or a change of clothes so they can swim and hang without having to come back to the room and change. Nice planning!

Wish they had lockers up on deck for the adults/families. That would have the possibility of freeing up some loungers that are just being used to hold "stuff" while someone swims.

ibouncetoo · 02-13-2011, 08:22 PM

The waiting area in the spa is lovely. Wonder if I could sneak in, sit in a corner and read my book!

Or at least show up, oh, a couple of hours early for a treatment!

Ditto!

Wow....by far the best review I have ever read! Thank you!

Wow, I love all these pictures! Thanks for posting! 251 more days until I'm there!

newmommy_2010 · 02-14-2011, 09:57 AM

This is a wonderful report! Love all the details! My hubby is dying to take a cruise but I am worried about how our DS (will be 2 at the time) would like it? Also, can you feel the boat move much? I am worried about motion sickness also.
