Trying to figure out what to do in cozumel. Has anyone heard any comments on must do's or skip it's ? also thinking of Palo brunch. Any thoughts on that? one more- anyone using a park and cruise?

Hi all

We are cruising on this trip Just wondering if anyone has a 16 or 17 year old girl interesting in emailing with my daughter before the trip? My daughter is 17 and a junior in high school...very into disney, music, being silly etc....not into big parties, drinking or getting in trouble....

thanks

Theresa

My kids were also wondering if there were others with kids their ages going on this cruise. My daughter is 12 years old and my son is 10 (almost 11.) They are getting excited and would like to make some new friends

Hi everyone,
I just found this site and just in time! We are going on our first cruise as a family. Does anyone else have any older kids going? I have a DS (15 1/2), DS (13) and a DD (almost 11--who will probably go into EDGE instead of the Oceaneer Lab). We are very excited and not sure what to expect except fun and food.

BTW, in case anyone is interested, we are originally from MD but now live outside of Boston.

Thanks!

We just booked this cruise and would love to be involved in the fish extender activity! How do we go about it?

What is the "Fish Extender"??? I've seen it mentioned but can't find out what it is. Thanks!

Nevermind, I found it by backtracking...sounds like great fun and definitely gives the kids something fun and exciting to expect!

Hi Everyone who is new and

I have a 17 yr old DD who will be going to the teen club also. She is beyond excited and sad at the same time that this will be the last Disney cruise where she is able to go to the teen club.

I look forward to meeting you all and we are planning a DIS meet on embarkation day so we will know what each other looks like throughout the cruise. As it gets closer I will let you all know where and what time. Hope everyone can make it, it is always nice to say hi and maybe even chat throughout the cruise.

THIRTY MORE DAYS

We are doing the Mayan and Beach "tour" (the 4-5 hour one) and then just going to hang out on the beach. We've never been on a cruise as a family before so I'm not over booking it.

I've heard great things about Palo, but nothing specific about the brunch. If you can get into it and have childcare, then I'd go for it!

Now that I have researched what FE's are, is it too late to get involved? Do you just buy one gift (set of gifts) for one day or multiple days?

Thanks everyone!

I have a 15 yo son, a 13 yo son and a 10 yo daughter...so, almost the same age! My 10 yo (almost 11) will be going into the Edge if I can get her in there. The 3-10 yo Oceaneer Lab looks to run a bit young for her.

Just want everyone new here to know we also have a Facebook page, it's a closed page, but Max is the creator and she will accept your request.

Here is the link to the group page. Hope to see you there

Hi! My almost 11 year old is also hoping to go to Edge too. I suspect he would enjoy some activities in the Lab as well though. It is actually for 3-12 yo. They may just be able to do both! His birthday is on the 25th.

I *think* the FE is closed but any newbies (like me who just joined the board) can still sign up on the Google Doc's someone made (go back a few pages and there is a link) and if we get enough, we'll start a new group. I'd like to do it; since I just learned what they are, I've been thinking of things to buy/make for it.

My daughter is not into the Princess end of the Oceaneer Lab but was interested in the science end. I told her I signed her, up she can try it but looking at the posts and the DVD we have she may skew on the older end. I think she will like the tween club. My 15 yo is a bit skeptical about the amount of kids his age that will be on the cruise; I haven't read or hear anything that says there is an age cut off on here though

I signed up on the Google Doc. Now I guess we just wait to see if we have enough people to start another group.
