Hi! We were booked for May this year but just re-booked for this one, yeah! The lady I spoke to last night told me April 18, 2015 had St Maarten but it didn't(my internet was down since it was -30 degrees last night) so I had to re-book again today. Wanted to make sure Saint Maarten was on the itinerary It's so long until our cruise but hopefully it will go fast. My husband becomes obsessed looking at cruises and I become the obsessed one after we finally book one.

 

[lizzyb]

Yay! So glad I have someone here to obsess with

I'm definitely that This will be our 3rd cruise. We are staying in the same room we've stayed the previous times lol. It's me DH, DS & MIL. We are obsessed with sailing Disney which is one of the reasons we are looking to move to Florida in about 4 years . I'm looking at pics of San Juan right now. I'm so looking forward to that port the most! Just need to learn some Spanish in the next 15 months. Did you see that there is an app for your phone to use on board as the Navigator!? Just downloaded last night and you can enter the date we're going and it has a countdown even in seconds. Course can't use it til we are on but it sounds really cool and the ship even lets you use the Wi-Fi for it for free! Well going back to dreaming and planning things to do

We stopped in San Juan on our last cruise and it was my least favourite spot. Hoping we find something to do there this time.

Which stateroom are you guys staying in?

 

[kelly1275]

Did you get to explore to much in San Juan or do an excursion? I'm researching the heck out of things to do there lol. I really want to see some of the historic stuff but there's a rainforest tour to that looks really nice where you walk to a water fall and get to swim under it and see some bat cave(ooh) but the views were amazing in the pics. We had booked a cat 5E room which was 9642 or something like that but it was on the very back end of the ship(would have been nice view) and after booking I just couldn't do aft so we booked our regular room number 7544 cat 5c. We love it, has a balcony, is right across from the elevator that when you take it up to 11 you come out in the adult area. It's just close to most everything, minus the kids club, cabana's, and Palo/Remy ok Animators to lol. It says its a midship room but it's more like forward. What room are you in? We could start a Facebook page as more people come aboard.

 

[lizzyb]

No we didn't do an excursion as there was not much that interested us. We just walked around...was trying to head towards el morro I thinks called but dh got tired of walking so we headed back.

We are staying in 8610. It's midship which I was wanting. Last time we stayed in 8170 which was aft and I did not like all the vibration that we felt and we also felt quite a bit of movement. I will step up a Facebook group and link it here.

Thanks for the facebook page. I don't know how to set one up on there . I just noticed one of your sons is 10 lol(not that observant obviously lol). My son will be 10 when we go and was hoping to meet some kids before we go or once on board. Last cruise the facebook page met up on the first day and kids were introduced so it made it nice for him to meet some kids that he got to hang with in the kids club. His name is Ethan. I'll meet ya on the facebook page.

 

[lizzyb]

My son will be 12 when we are on the cruise but I'm sure they can still be buddies. I have accept you on the page
