Just booked for 17 Jan 2009, this will be our 3rd Eastern in a row,we all love St Maarten!!
Hope to talk and meet more Canadians as the cruise gets closer, if anyone needs any info , just ask, we are not pros but did do our 1st
Disney cruise with our 10 month old so have a few tips especially with infants.Cheers
Hi Bruce,
My wife and I are both decided Canadians - that is, we weren't born here, but decided to be Canadian. OTOH, since we live in Toronto, then you, being from Alberta, might not consider us Canadian after all
This will be our first cruise of any kind. It's a 30th anniversary gift from me to my DW. I wasn't sure about cruises in general, but decided that if anyone did them well, it would be Disney, so the choice was easy.
I chose the Eastern Carribean because it has the most sea days, but know nothing about either St. Martin, or St.Thomas. (Actually, I spent about two hours in St. Thomas, but that was about 40 years ago.) We've done things in the Carribean before, so are not that worried about sight-seeing, so any suggestions on excursions? We thought we'd mostly stay on the ship, but wander off and do a little shopping sometime in the afternoon, but as we're mostly going for the ship and the cruise experience. Are there any excursions that anyone has done that are "not to be missed"? Neither of us are big on holding down a patch of sand, we've done quite a lot of sailing, and my wife doesn't swim, so she won't snorkle.
And any other suggestions about the cruise, or things we should or shouldn't do, or that you particularly enjoyed, would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Richard
