seadooken said:I am getting ready for my third. Several things that I feel are a "not to miss" catagory:
Pirate Night. Especially if you have kids.
Golden Mickeys. Ditto on the kids
One thing we have not done yet is room service and from reading all of the posts, we have been missing out!
Have a great cruise.

4 day
and WOW we LOVE THE MAGIC..... 7 day
1st question: kids? yes/no.. and ages
2nd question: You? couple, single.. age?
3rd question: which cruise --- it makes a difference
4) what do u like? like.. what vacations have u done before.. do you like to explore.. do the beach.. what
5) which cruise date (matters on 7 day... we did Western .. each itenerary.. (spelling) is different
We can tell you LOTS... but need to know what's important
put it this way.. we cruised 7 day 2 months ago.. and i swear i've spent more time since creating the 1 hour slide show w/ music.... so.... there is a lot to do.
CaptainJack said:We have been on 2 cruises and are about to go our third. Our DDs were 7 on the first and 11 on the second. Here are some things we learned:
1. Bring a case of bottled water with you in your luggage.
2. Bring a collapsible cooler in your luggage for day trips on excursions.
3. Pick 2 or 3 things that you really want to do and make sure you do those and then do other things as time permits.
4. If your children love the club, mine did, let them go to it and have a good time. My DW felt guilty about them spending so much time there, but they were having fun.
5. Definitely go to PALO one night.
6. Do not go to the meeting about customs and such. It will be rebroadcast on the TV.
7. Do not be afraid to ask your server if you want more than 1 thing on the menu. He or she will bring more than one appetizer or main course if you ask.
8. Make sure you bring a collapsible bag to put souvenirs in. My children got quite a few on the first cruise.
Relax and have lots of fun.
