Okay this is going to be a two parter, and I appreciate any advice I can get on either.
The first is about the ports of call. I hate to sound extremely cheap, although mastermindedly budgeted!! We have spent alot just to get to the cruise not to mention the 5 days at Disney we will be spending before. Besides that, I have a 4 and a 2 year old, that can not even do alot of the excursions, let alone pay for the few they even offer. Any suggestions on what we can do in the Bahamas besides shop?
Also, at Castaway Cay, I got my husband a massage (his birthday surprise) but I figure again, not really into the excursion part, we will probably want to just hang out at the beach. Are there problems getting an umbrella with chaise lounges to relax and let the kids play in the sand? I would think they would get overrun. Can people stick stuff on there and "save" them, making it hard to find a spot?
Second question is about dining on board. Are men really expected to wear a jacket or can they just wear nice khakis and shirt on the more formal nights. We are on the 3 day, and I know one is Pirate night, but I hate to pack too many clothes for just 3 days. Any suggestions?
I am sure I have more, but let me see what comes from all these questions! Thanks so much for the help, everyone here at these boards seem to be so experienced!!
