August 27th 2009 cruise on the wonder

[DMMarla07860]

We were on the February 28th cruise. DH really enjoyed St Croix. He loved their beach... we also did the Rum tour, which I wasn't really crazy about! What about you?

my dad and I were also on the February 28th cruise, we did a back-2-back cruise and went the week before as well. Maybe we met and didn't know

I'm near Allentown close to lehigh university. How about you? On the cruise will be my 15,14,8,5 daughters and 4 year old son. I just got back from a carnival cruise for work that was my first cruise. I loved it, it was just me. It was a TA cruise there were 300 Ta on board I really had a great time can't wait for this. We are doing the parks for 7 nights prior the ids have no idea about the cruise. We drive from Pa so when we get in car to leave we are telling them that Mom (Me) wants to drive up to see the Disney ship to see it since I sell it and then we will get on they are going to flip. I see you have been on many I guess you have enjoyed it Jill

I just noticed that your kids are all the same ages as mine!!! It's often hard to find other families traveling with 4 - funny that they are the same ages! Maybe we'll bump into each other at the Oceaneers Lab/ Club. Since you have done so many cruises, maybe you can give us advice on what kid's activities are good.

I've thought about putting our DS2 in the daycare so DH and I can go to Palo, but I feel bad too! And I totally hear you on the food throwing- we have so much of that in our house from our youngest too!!!

Gasperdam... Sorry, I didn't get back to you sooner. It's been a while since I visited Disboards.

Don't feel bad about putting the little one in daycare. After a little whining the first time, our DD didn't want to leave when we picked her up later that evening. Also, she went willingly every time after that. Plus, as you really, really and I mean really know, some alone time with the spouse is incredibly refreshing with 4 kids. The best is knowing that the kids are having a great time on their own. Not to mention, Palo is a great experience and delicious!!

The family is all fired up with less than 3 months to go!! We made our Palo Reservation Friday night and I think I can almost taste the Calamari, Rack of Lamb and Chocolate Souffle already!!!

Is anyone interested in doing any of the exchanges that I have read about on other threads? I quite fancied doing a Fish Extender exchange if there is any other interest?

I'd also quite like some advice.

First on Nassau - Has anyone got any suggestions for activities/excursions for 2 parents, and 2 girls (11 and very nearly 6). I did fancy the dolphin swim but having looked at the videos on YouTube I was a little disappointed with the look of it, so have pretty much decided against it (unless anyone tells me differently).
Current plan is just to get off the ship and have a wander around, and then get back on the ship, but it does seem a shame not to see some of Nassau whilst we are there.


Second question is about the Pirate Night - both girls have got costumes, but neither adult has one yet - do most adults dress up? The kids really want us too, but I am not sure. If they do, then do they dress for dinner, or after dinner and before the party? We will be first sitting for dinner (I hope)

This is us, so if you spot us please say Hi.

about pirate night adults do dress up some I have seen more dress up on 7 night cruises though. 3 night cruises not as many dress up as 7 night cruises, but if you and your DH want to, you guys should go right ahead and dress up and don't be afraid and people usually dress up for dinner in the pirate stuff if they dress up because there are some great pictures to get taken. I usually just wear a pirate shirt.

And I will totally say hey to you if I see you. I don't know if anyone here wants to, but would you all like to plan a meet for the first day?
