Hello Fellow Cruisers! Some FE participants have expressed an interest in closing the FE list at the 90 day mark because the gifts they make require time for personalizing. Since we are at over 25 rooms and over 100 guests already, the FE will be split into groups. While I don't know how many yet, I will close the first group around the 90 day mark. There are a few people that want to be on all FE lists, so I will be sure they are added to all groups. I have the FE spreadsheet online, but cannot post the link here sue to DISboards rules. Feel free to contact me and I will get you the information needed. I will also try to post group info here once they are finalized.

Has anyone done tequila tasting in Cozumel?? We are thinking of doing this as an 'adult' excursion and leaving the kids on the ship with their grandparents. I like margharita's but I'm not sure I can swig tequila for an hour..... wondering if anyone has experienced this excursion (and whether or not I'll make it back to the ship!)

Hi! We changed stateroom numbers and need to update on the master FE list (I don't think I've earned the ability to send a message yet.).

NINETY NINE DAYS! But who's counting..............

 

[hamm1207]

Welcome all of who have joined!

Only 99 days to go! We're all checked in and ready to cruise!

 

[disneyfool_1202]

Is everyone ready to start booking reservations and excursions (If you haven't been able to do so yet??).
Just a week to go and we can try and get the things we want to do all lined up! Now I just need to narrow it all down!!!

Palo Brunch or Dinner.... or both?? We haven't gone since our honeymoon in 2001... Never tried brunch.
To parasail or not? Or do we do the Ski-doo watercarafts?? SO MANY QUESTIONS!!

Not sure what I want to do in Grand Caymen, if anything. Have something planned for both Cozumel and Jamaica so not really interested in booking anything for Grand Caymen, but don't want to stay on the boat all day either. Never been there and hate to waste the opportunity to at least say I went!

We've done both Palo Brunch and Dinner, and both are wonderful. My husband prefers the brunch, and I love them both. Of course, you can only get the famous Palo Souffle at dinner. My favorite brunch meal is the chicken Parmesan.

Looks like we might be going to a Buffett concert in Tampa on the 18th. We haven't decided if we're still going to do EPCOT in the morning then drive out for the concert, DTD before then drive out, or just do EPCOT and no concert. Decisions decisions!

Excursion wise we're planning on:
Duck boat tour in grand cayman
Dunns river falls with lunch in Jamaica
XPLOR park in Cozumel
My husband is doing the fly fishing on CC

 

[Mickeydad]

We'll be cruising with you too!!! Me, DW, DD8. We first cruised on the Magic back in 2001 with our 2 older kids. My DD20 and DS17 are staying home this time. We are excited to see the upgrades since the refurb. We are taking a taxi to Paradise Beach in Cozumel. The excursions to the other beach is very expensive. We just want to relax and play in the water in the pool and beach. At Grand Cayman my former assistant who now lives there will take us to 7-mile beach for the day. We're not sure what to do in Jamaica. The excursions again look very expensive fir just wanting to relax at a beach. ANYONE have any suggestions??

Thanks!
