Oh my goodness, you're killing me!!! :confused: I'd love for my dd8 to have a penpal as well. It'd be great for her to know someone b4 the cruise & give her something else to look forward to - meeting your dd in person then. :flower1:

The thing is that we're keeping this cruise as a surprise to her since we had to cancel our 9/4 one. I will speak to dh & see if we should break our silence. :rolleyes:


Hey, are you doing the Dubloon Snorkel excursion in St.Thomas? We are!

Millie

Sorry Millie I missed this question.
No i htink we are not going to do any excursions this go round. Last year we had them lined up at every port, and I just felt like we ran around with out much relaxtion time. We did the Sting Ray City in Grand Cayman, the Royal dolphin Swim in Cozumel, and snorkling, banana boat ride AND parasailing at CC. While all the activities were GREAT I just want to relax this time. Also we will have a baby with us this year, and we didnt bring him last year.

I Have lost our lis of kids and ages from some time ago. Any other toddlers in this group? I am off to go find that list

We're on the late dining as well.

Since you're a pro at this cruising thing...is this a good idea w/ an 8yr old? Or is early sitting better?

We're just doing 1 thing at each port:
- Butterfly Farm in St.Thomas
- Dubloon Snorkel in St.Marteen, and
- Banana ride in CC

This is our 1st cruise ever!

Millie were actually had early seating at 1st because everyone said that was the best. We just did it always. But after having the late seating on the 0919 Wonder cruise, we changed it to late seating. We liked it much better. last year we always had to RUSH back to the room and get ready for dinner, even though other things were going on. We really liked that we didnt have to do that this year. And if we went to the early show, we went as we were and didnt have to dress up. last year, we were changing for dinner, then changing after dinner to be comfy for the show. We wound up using alot more clothes that way. I have asked my DS 9 if he wants to eat dinner with us, and he has told me that he will on formal night, since I like us all to be dressed, but that he wants to eat in the with the lab most nights. I am hoping and thinking that late dinner will be better for us. Also, take into account what time aone you are in. We are act in EST so it will be the same for us, but if you are in Cst or Mst then it would really be like 730 ot 630 dinner. Or 530 dinner for pst :-) I am getting excited here if you cant tell!!! Anyways we decided we like late seating better. Lets see how it goes with my 1 yr old :-)

Were here...just been spending most of our time putting everything back were it came from before the storms moved it all!!! Also, lost my DSL for about 2 weeks, then no power on the second one for a few days. amazing how dependent we get on computers and electricity!

Someone asked if everone was a "cruise virgin" Since this will be #8 for us, we are well past the virgin state, although we act like it is still cruise #1 each time!

Excursions - put all 6 of our group down for the Champaign Catamaran Sail and Snorkel to St Johns. Actually, don't have ressies yet, but will make them this week. Probably won't do an excursion on St Martin, and I am trying to convince my wife that we all want to do the JetSki excursion at CC. She's not real interested. Does anyone know if you can reserve that ahead or do you have to wait until you are on board ?
 
dzneprincess: we're also late dining. It really wasn't our choice since we have small children, but we'll make the best of it. Our child list:

Chris (boy) age 12
Chloe (girl) age 10
Claire (girl) age 9
Spencer (boy) age 8
Caleb (boy) age 4
Cameron (boy) age 3

And the oft-harried parents Curt and Stephanie--but we're actually younger than we look! Also, I'm going to PM you about Chris' e-mail faux pas.

izzinmac--glad to hear you're fine-your silence had us a bit worried.

--Curt
 
Oh wow Curt! You have one for all of mine to be penpals with ! LOL And here I thought I was nutz for having 4! I know what I pay because we are 6 I know it probably hurts yall too! Anyways see if Chloe and Claire might be interested in writing my DD Taylor. She is 8. And how how about Caleb for my DS Max how is 5?
Good to hear from you izzi! I gues with all you have been thru the cruise is the last thing on your mind huh?

dzneprincess: I think they will all be delighted. I'll check when they wake up--this is a peaceful time for me--we're getting them used to afternoon naps since we figure that will help with the late dining issue.

What I meant is my family and our friends sailing with us are DCL newbies. Can't speak for anyone else.

We'll be dining at the late seating with you. Who knows, maybe we'll end up being tablemates?????

Are we the only one's with early seating. Six adults/no kids with early. Everyone else with gobs of kids/late!
 
Checking in as well! Everyone in my group is new to cruising too except my mom (Linda) and my sis (Tiffany-pixiechick77) who volunteered to an "investigational" 4-Day cruise last October! Oh, what a hardship! ;) They actually booked us on that cruise so we could get the discount and stateroom credits!

We will be in late seating-we have requested to be at one big happy table so I'm hoping that they can accomodate us! I'm apologizing early for my family as we can be quite...ummm...jolly when we get together! I'm sure you'll hear us. ;)

I would love to find "penpals" for my nephews and niece if anyone is interested; however, I'm not promising that they will "get" into it-you know how teens can be! :rolleyes: It's worth a try though...let me know! (Matt, 16; Moriah, 14; Micah, 12)

I think my parents (Eric and Linda) will be joining me on both excursions-still unsure of everyone else's preferences.

I can't wait!! Have we decided on a meeting place??!

*blowing bubbles in preparation of send off*

:p IVY :p
 
izzinmac glad your ok & getting back to normal, anymore hurricanes lurking out there???
IvyandLace: were meeting near the outlook bar on deck 10 at 3.00pm on Saturday (sail day) if the weather is poor its somewhere else but i've forgot!!!! can you tell i'm not planning on poor weather!

We've sailed before on the 4 day, so we're 7 day cruise virgins!!
We dont know what dinner seating we've got, requested late.
Can i e-mail Disney cruise to find out??

5 weeks & 5 days till we fly out:Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc
 
The penpal thing has really taken off at my house. We have a DD9 and DS8 who would also like one if anyone has someone who would be interested.
 
cuRT i SEE NO pM Anywas have your girls write Taylor at the same email that Chris is using for CJ. Just put Taylor in the subject.Or if your 4 yr old wants to transcribe a note to you, for my 5 yr old DS Max, put Max in the subject. I know he is feeling a bit left out at this point :-)
