Seeing that it is not a DCL excursion, I am too afraid I would miss the ship! Also, since there are going to to be 6? 7? ships in port, that is going to be a lot of people wanting cabs.

Here's a question: Does the excurstion cost include admission to Chankanaab Marine Park, or do we pay that when we get there?

On the cab thing, you are not coming back as a group. You have to get your own cab. You choose when you get your cab to go back.

I am also hoping DCL excursion pays the admission fee. It does not say that it pays entrance fee. But, when it says to bring money for food, photos, and videos.... I would think it would mention here that you need money for park entrance and how much SO, I would say its included

Oh I know - It says you get a voucher to get a cab back anytime you want. My main point is that if I am going to be on an island with 15,000 tourists needing cabs, I'd rather DCL know that I am in one as part of one of their excursions, than on my own and SOL if something goes wrong.

Give your kids an extra Hug and tell them you love them.

My DS best friend was told he had cancer on Wed. Had surgery on Thursday and today (Friday) he had his 1st chemo. He is only 14 yr old. Please pray for him. We just found out today and this is really hard to understand.

They say its around 3 ft. deep on the platform. Also, you can always hold Emma. Destiny is tall and I am sure will will still end up holding her some.

I hope Destiny gets to meet Emma and Riley at the port. We have got to be sure to get the 3 of them together for the sail away party! I think they are they only 5 yr old girls right?

We hope they can all meet early too! Every day at dinner now, Riley says "can we talk about the cruise?" and then she proceeds to talk about all of the things she wants to do "with Destiny and Emma". I will try to get a picture of Riley posted this weekend on the Kids thread, so that you know what she looks like!!!

Destiny is the same way, she tells us all about her friends. I guess they have a fab 5 yr old girls club planned. Just tell them they cant kick her out when she has her bday and gets old

I am very sorry to hear this. of course, we will hold your friend and your DS in prayer. Peace to all of you.

cancer sucks at any age, but it seems especially disheartening when it grabs a child. Please pass along our well wishes and know that he is in our prayers.

Everyone, Thanks for keeping Kaleb in your prayers.

We went to visit him at Vanderbilt yesterday. I will not go into details but it is really sad. He really needs everyone praying for him during this time.

We will keep Kaleb and his family in our prayers.

since they only offer 50% of Palo reservations before the sail date, is this true for shore excursions as well?

I am not sure about Disney. But, the other lines we sailed, they had PLENTY of shore excursions open. I think they do this because there are some people who do not know they can reserve online ahead of time.

ok. we're going to try to bump our dolphin excursion to something earlier. this gives me hope!

I doubt you will have a problem booking it on board. People with boarding #s 8, 9 10 are still getting Palo reservations when they get on board...I think it is the usual Disney-induced hysteria that makes people crazy...the whole "I must be first" mentality. We only booked this one shore excursion, but I would be just as happy with none, since we like to play things by ear and not be slave to a schedule during vacation. So, I bet you'll get the dolphin excursion you want, because I doubt they open them all up for online booking.

ok. we're going to try to bump our dolphin excursion to something earlier. this gives me hope!

I wanted the earliest also (We got 945). My DH, DM, and DS are not doing the excursion so they will be taking a taxi there while DS, DD, and myself will be going in a taxi through the excursion. We plan to stay until around 5 (thats when the park closes).

I am sure you can bump it up without a problem.

Oh another thing, keep checking the site. Since we are in 2 different rooms, it took me a while to get the same time for us. The times ava. kept changing when I would switch back and forth between the 2 reservations.

 

[becca_n_wa]

We only booked this one shore excursion

What time do you guys have?

 

[akdaisy]

1045

I heard we are leaving Cozumel earlier than originally planned, Is this true? We have a 3PM time slot at Dolphin Discovery that we booked on our own, now I am worried that it is too late. What time is the ship scheduled to leave?

 

[bkfor]

What time do you guys have?

currently we have 11:45. i hope to get the 9:45. i'll try again online to see whats available. if nothing earlier online, i'll try once on board.

According to cruise docs, its been changed to 6:30. when i tried to book directly through the park, the only time avaiable was 3:00p.m. for me, thats too close to the all aboard time. i wouldn't be able to enjoy the excursion because i would be too busy looking at my watch!

The all aboard should be about 6pm. You will be ok. 3 pm - thats puts you at 4pm with excursion then gift shop time. And taxi ride should only be about 15min 20 tops. You are fine. Like I mentioned earlier, we plan to stay at the park until 5pm.
