I am feeling a mixture of feelings (from exciting and overwhelmed)...these are special moments that you guys captured. Do you think I can capture moments like this with only my 8 you daughter and 78 yo Nana. My daughter won't have any other kid with us (like a sibling) and most pics i see of familys. Do you think we will meet people and new friends. I just wish my mom was her to share this with me (she died on Easter Sunday '06 two days after my DD turned 6 at age 56 from Ovarian Cancer...I thought I was bringing her to the emergency room for a stomach ache)...But I will try to bring all the sunshine and excitement through her to my nana (her mom) and my daughter (her only granddaughter)....thanks

Be sure to join the cruise meet thread for your cruise date and get to know some folks ahead of time. Have your daughter go to the kids club and I am sure she will have a friend in no time. That also allow you and your Nana time to enjoy some of the adult only activities. You will have the time of your life.

My DD and DGD6 and I went on the Wonder in June. Everyone had a great time! My DGD loved the clubs and the Mickey slide the best. She always asks when we can go back (she doesn't know we're going next May). I joined our "meets" thread right from the beginning when I booked. When we got on the ship, we met everyone in person. My DGD and another girl had an instant bond. Here is how they were every time they saw each other on the ship:

I think this is my favorite picture out of all we took on the whole vacation. My DD and DGD even met up with the other family over July 4th. The kids are going to send letters to each other - I hope this is the start of a long friendship.

Have a great time!

I think it's permanent for now, at least. It's been there for over a year now, maybe two years. It makes for an awesome backdrop for a pic with Cap'n Jack Sparrow.

Butterfly Farm in St. Maarten

OK - There is no way that butterfly is real.... Right.
Thats just a decoration as you enter the exhibit. Cause if it's real I would run the other way and am now afraid of butterflies!!!!!

I would guess that it is real as I don't remember any fake ones in that area when we were there. But I would also guess that it is a close up picture and that it is not as large as it seems like it is in the picture. That is a really great picture by the way.

I believe the Flying Dutchman has been at Castaway since at least the Summer of 2005. If my memory serve me Right that was the first Cruise we were able to see it. That would make it three years that it has been there.

It was placed there in July of 2006 - about two months after I had just been there .

Ok so I was a year off. It must have been the September 06 Cruise with just the two grandkids not the one in 05 with the grandkids and the nephew. I do stand corrected.

It's actually an Atlas moth and it really is that big.
