10/17 Wonder -- Are you sailing with us?!?

[prymsu]

I would recommend going to the DCL site, and checking out the excursions. Then you can decide on if you want to prebook before something is sold out...

Dave or Barb might have excursions listed with their prices on their sites.

I'm going to wait until we're onboard to book the Castaway Cay 'getaway package'. I booked thru AAA and we can get a 10% discount on ordinary rentals, as well as the free refillable drink mug, as perks.

Since they have a lot of snorkle and float equipment at Castaway Cay, I think it's safe to wait to book it. I didn't get mucj use out of it on one cruise because the weather was drizzly and a little chilly one year, so I'll also have the benefit of getting a close-in weather report before booking. On that cruise, the weather wasn't bad enough for DCL to refund the cost, but it was enough for my DW and I to not want to do it.

I am lightyears away from considering the parasail experience SCMinnie, but I admire your courage . I think my insides would be doing too much of this : , and the color would be accurate too.

 

[SC Minnie]

I think I will try the parasailing . If we can get a time BEFORE lunch!

 

[prymsu]

SC Minnie, my friend and I are confirmed at the 9 a.m. parasailing excursion. We are both a little nervous, but we figure go for it!!! Why don't you try to go the same time as us, so that we can all be nervous together!!!

Also, the AAA discount is not good for parasailing, because that is considered a non-motorized sport, so we don't get a discount on that...

 

[SC Minnie]

Thanks prymsu.

I'll have DH check to see want is still available. I would rather go early in the day and be able to relax the rest of the day

I would also hate to 'loose' my lunch!

 

[prymsu]

That is why we choose the 9 a.m. Figured it would give us the remainder of the day to relax, and I think we will be spending the day over at the adult beach.

 

[scduckman]

Okay, we're set for 9 A M. Better eat a light breakfast SCMinnie!

 

[pal2pluto]

anyone up for a banana boat ride?

 

[MickeyMagic]

Some brave souls in this group! This will be me...

 

[SC Minnie]

We might be starting on the Konk Koolers a little early this trip!

 

[prymsu]

It would be loads of fun to do this excursion with all DIS members. Since there are four of us already confirmed for the six spots at 9 a.m., SC Minnie should be sure to make her ressies today!!!

 

[SC Minnie]

prymsu- DH aka scduckman got a ressie for the 9:00 am


It will be fun if we are all on the same boat- aren't there 2 boats that go out at a time for the parasailing?

In Jan DISers had most of the Golden Eagle Catamaran excursion booked. It was much more fun knowing most of the people.

 

[prymsu]

Not sure about the two boats thing. I think I read on the paper that there were only six slots for each time available. This should really be fun, and I am really looking forward to it!!! Then afterwards we may all need to stop and get a konk cooler!!!

 

[Ashley24]

I just made ressies for the 10:00 slot for my dh and me. It sounds like fun!!! Anyone else have a 10:00 slot???

[prymsu]

I was out on Barb's site, www.castawayclub.com and noticed that there are indeed two boats doing the parasailing at the same time due to popular demand...

 

[SC Minnie]

I thought I had read somewhere about the two boats at a time- it may have been from Barb's site too.

 

[SC Minnie]

Bumping up-

This had gotten buried all the way back on page 7!

 

[prymsu]

I sure wish we would get our documents!!! It shouldn't be too much longer, however I already know that I will be in room 8000.

 

[SC Minnie]

I just read the thread where some early Oct cruisers just received their docs. Our can't be too far away!

I don't remember what room we ended up with- I am thinking it was a Cat 6 GTY. Maybe we will get an upgrade-- NOT

 

[pal2pluto]

Seeing how they've extended the "trial period" for the earlier dining times, I wonder if they will extend it yet again until our cruise.......I'm just about to change to the later dining times no matter what. This time, we are cruising only with our older dd(11) and leaving the younger ds(3) at home, so we could easily eat later and stay awake later.............can't wait can't wait can't wait
