August 24th 2012 Cruise to the Bahamas!!!!

[dismiss]

Just checking in

Made my last Payment today,Waiting for May 26 to book shore excursions

Does anyone have teens that are doing the Teen Wild Side Adventure on Castaway Cay? Thought maybe my kids could do this and us adults could try for a Palo Brunch. Don't know which CC day to chose the first or the second?

Maybe we will plan for the second this way the kids won't be tempted to ask to do it again.

Se evryone soon

My 16 year old would like to do it. He wants to wait to book it until he gets on the ship since he is not cruising with anyone he knows.

I like that logic. We've been debating which day to book the stingray encounter. I think we'll be doing it the second day now based off that logic.

I'll run it by my daughter. She's 15.... She's generally up for anything. I'm sure that the 3 that we have that will be in Vibe will make a LOT of friends on this cruise.

I'm just hoping that my Daughter doesn't get all weepy when we leave. She's got a boyfriend now... (ugh)... and you know how teens are.... We took her half brother on a cruise with us at 16 and he moped about for the 1st hour of the cruise telling us how he missed his girlfriend soooo much.....until he got a glimpse of the girl in the next cabin over.... suddenly he was not moping anymore...

My Son has already been giving us a hard time about having to call his girlfriend while we are on the cruise. I told him only day they can talk is while we are still at PC then then phones are going in the safe!!!
Is everyone ready for mid-night tonight???? I am really hoping to get a cabana!!!

Luckily it is only 9pm for us in the west!

The only thing I am hoping to book is Remy for my inlaws. I think we are going to wing everything else!

I can't wait until midnight either! Not really looking for any special to book, but I love getting things on my To Do List crossed out!

I will be keeping my fingers crossed for you at 6am here (midnight for you! ) ..... and just to let you know, at the moment there are still 4 Cabanas available on Family Beach for the first CC day and 5 for the second! So your chances are still very good!

Good luck. I also wanted to tell you I have been enjoying your trip report so much!!!

I am a list maker so I totally understand!!

Thank you! It's always fun to relive your cruise through a trip report. That being said, Im not sure I finished my Apr 8 MR trip report. LOL I should probably finish that as well or at least be done before this cruise!

I am so upset stayed up to try and book a canbana and for some reason I CAN NOT BOOK ANYTHING!!!! I have no idea why it wont let me add anything. My cruise has been paid in full for a couple of weeks

Not sure why you are having trouble. I was able to book port activities and a Palo reservation. What kind of message did you get?

 

[socababy]

I was able to book sting ray adventure for my boys but my inlaws are nit paid in full yet so I couldn't book Remy for them. They made the payment today but I think too late in the day to get the system updated. I did book myself for brunch so hopefully I can add them to the reservation this weekend.

I was tempted by the cabanas but the $500 seems like a lot since I actually like being in the sun!

Michelle, I hope you got the issues worked out and got your Cabana!!
Is your reservation linked to someone else's who is not paid in full and/or is a first time cruiser? That could be an issue!

Glad you got your reservations. When is your Palo reservation? Yes, I am nosey!

Congratulations on getting everything you wanted. Bummer about not being able to do it for your in laws.
We love having a Cabana (on Serenity Bay) because I have very sensitive skin and eyes and it helps a lot with getting out of the sun for a while! But yes, they are steep, even though they are only 400 on Serenity Bay.

Oh and count me in to the ones who love your "childless" trip report!

we went with dinner on the sea day. I was considering the brunch, but i really didn't want to get dressed up that early in the day. plus, we'd rather not put the kids in the club that early either. we're not 100% sure we'll keep the reservation as it is also based on the assumption (based on various reports) that the DCL website is wrong and that is not really pirate night.

Our Palo reservation is for sea day too! Same reasons! I am really hoping that the site is wrong and Pirate night will be Nassau day, when we have our Remy reservation.

last night is was saying cruise needed to be paid in full.... Today it just doesn't allow me to add anything I get to port activities it is showing that I can book but the plus buttons do not high-light so I can not add anything!! I am happy you were able to get what you wanted.

I am glad you got your brunch and hopefully you can get your In-laws Remy's today!! $500.00 is a lot for the cabana but my DD is not a healthy child and I was hoping to get one for the 2nd stop at CC so if I needed to just keep her in the shade and resting we could still be on paradise enjoying CC on back on the ship. I also have Lupus and photo sensitivity so it would be a blessing for we has well. I was really upset last night . If I could not book one because they were all gone it would be OK with me but since I have no idea why I can not book activities it really upset me!!

Karin, My sister is a first time cruiser and she is in our room. Could that be the problem???

Hi Michelle! (using Tom's account! )

As long as your sister is not the lead guest, you should be okay - try a different browser if that is possible. IE works for me, but maybe you could try something else.
If all else fails ...... CALL them!!!
