Hi Everyone,

We booked our cruise and will be joining you for Father's Day! I read through this whole thread and am excited to see such a friendly group. We will be me, DH, DD17, DS13 and DD10. We are interested in the Bernard's Tours group if there is still room.

Have a great day!

I should also have mentioned that this will be our fourth Disney Cruise. We have been to the Bahamas twice on the Wonder, and did the west coast Mexico cruise in 2008. Also, I don't know if it counts, but DH and I sailed on the Big Red Boat for our honeymoon 20 years ago. So ready for this trip!

Hello to all of you!

We just booked this cruise and I am beyond excited! We have done a few cruises so far, all with DCL! It will be our second Eastern. Funny enough, the first time we didn't step off the ship at all...we loved enjoying the spa during port days.

On this cruise, we have booked 2 staterooms: DH and I as well as his DD+ DSIL. We just cannot wait!!!

Since we have never been to the island before, I will leave it to others to decide who have more experience. I am sure anything would be great. I have read a lot about the planes flying over at Maho and would like to do that if possible. Thanks for organizing!!!

I notice that the tour only drives by Maho beach. Is it possible to stop there for a bit to watch a couple of plane land? Last year, we took a catamaran that went by the beach, but we were fairly far away and if no plane lands when you're close, it doesn't appear as exciting.

We would also like to stop at Marigot as we missed that stop last year. Other than that, we're along for the ride. I haven't researched any of the other beaches so don't know much about them.

Thanks.
