We haven't looked too much at the excursions. We were originally booked on the 7 day Eastern the week before (Halloween) but had to cancel due to scheduling conflicts. My girls are pretty bummed and haven't gotten too excited about this cruise yet. I'm sure they will as we get closer, though.
We probably won't book Palo's. Not knowing whether the girls will love or hate their clubs, I don't want to plan anything we can't do without them!
Not sure if we'll do a tour or go on our own. My 8 year old wants to swim with the dolphins and my 10 year old wants to parasail. I just want 4 days of not doing dishes or laundry!!
