My DS9 told me we need to bring special sunscreen for snorkeling. I googled it and it says Mexican snorkeling (Cozumel and other places were mentioned) requires biodegradable sunscreen. I spent my lunch hour looking for such a thing - no luck. I think I am giving up and hoping for an overcast afternoon, then apply sunscreen after the snorkeling portion of our excursion.

Careful with that...DH and I snorkled in St. Maarten without enough sunscreen, and we were lobsters for the rest of the cruise. Not fun at all. My guess is you will be able to buy the biodegradeable sunscreen at your excursion. My suggestion is buy ahead of time. I googled and found this...

Printed off our vouchers for the Grand Cayman tour and got our tickets for Kennedy Space Center in the mail yesterday...looks like we're on our way! Still nothing planned for Cozumel although Shelley is doing the dolphin swim. I booked parasailing at Castaway Cay for my 15 yo as a surprise. He's gonna #$%@!

Good Morning All:

Sorry I've not been posting. I've been lurking. We are getting excited at our house. We are down to counting hours almost.

Tonight is the night I finish my FE gifts and get them in the mail.

Ok not much to report. I hope everyone has a great day.

TTYL.

Stopping in to say "hi". We just booked this one. Sailing on the Eastern prior to this and dh needed to use some vacation days up so added this on to make a back to back cruise.

Will be me, dh, dd16, dd14, dd9, dd7 and ds7.

Looking forward to meeting new people and seeing familiar faces again.

Hope everyone is excited that the cruise is getting so close!

Somebody got ahold of our credit card # so now we have to go through that mess. I didn't have anything else to deal with, right?

I just noticed on my info. from Costco, that it says "Dining with Cross Reference: #(seems to be another DCL booking #...)". Has anyone else seen that before? I would LOVE to know who our tablemates are!

 

[ukintheus]

Wow!! I have only been gone since Thursday and there are several pages to catch up on! I will try and go back this afternoon and see what is new and exciting with everyone.

No, I have never seen that on any paperwork I have ever received on any of our cruises! How cool is that? Though considering you don't know who has that other booking number....

Back to back....very nice!

We are new to cruising, but Disney Vets, so what better way to experience our 1st cruise! Traveling with DH, DD5 & DS3. We are soooo excited! We leave in a week and a half...relaxing for a week at the Beach Club Villas before the cruise!

OK!!! We will be in WDW, but that's ok, the kids all have winter clothes!!

LOL! Ok, I guess we can hold off on the snow until a bit later in December!

Tonight is the night I finish my FE gifts and get them in the mail.

Yea! I finished my crafty piece of the FE last night (thought I was finished last week only to find out there was a flaw and had to start over from scratch...ACK!).

Yay! Glad you are doing a B2B too. We are really getting excited they are getting so close!

No, gotta switch staterooms. On the 20th we have 2 staterooms on 2 different decks and on the 27th we switch to 2 different staterooms on 2 different decks. Oh well, that's what we get for booking last minute

We are also doing the 4 night Wonder Nov 14th and a post cruise WDW stay to do the Christmas party.

We are so looking forward to meeting lots of new people. It is such a vacation highlight to make new acquaintances from all over the country/world.

Love the beach club Villas Nothing is more exciting than your first DCL Cruise! I hope the experience is "Magical"

Welcome! Can't wait to meet you and your family!

Thanks!

Michelle, I think we share the excitement since we seem to always be cruising this time of year together lol. What is this like five years straight? It is the most special, most magical time of the year

We will have to coordinate btb plans.

Yes, I am so excited for the time of year AND having all my family onboard this one. I am hoping to do a christmas party afterwards too, but my plans are still SO up in the air.
I will probably have everything all straightened out in a week, but it kills me. LOL

Hola again:

Has anyone seen the article about not being able to spend over $100 US cash in Mexico per transaction?

http://news.travel.aol.com/2010/10/...-resorts/?icid=main|main|dl6|sec3_lnk2|180176

You can still use your debt and credit cards but just not over $100 US cash at one time.

Just a heads up.

ttyl.

Lisa - Forget about the expensive sunscreen. The best thing is to wear a dark t-shirt when snorkeling because your back is constantly exposed to the sun. Even if it's just for an hour or 2, it HURTS. Note - the dark shirt is better w/ protection than the white ones. Rule of thumb - if you can hold it up to the sun and see through the shirt, get another shirt.

 

[aseyrick]

grlzmom - welcome aboard! B2B, eh? Lucky dog! I was trying to fanagle that, but it didn't work out for us. Glad to have you with us!!

Did you hear about this cruise ship story?

Can you imagine? Disney would never let this happen!

I saw it today!! Wow! I can't imagine! But it does seem that Carnival is taking care of their passengers....refund, reimburse travel, and a free cruise...
