Is anyone else planning on working out on this cruise? I really, really don't want to gain weight while on board but have heard most people do gain on cruises.

I am don't want to lose my motivation and know it is so easy to do when you are on vacation. I want to either do some classes or some 20-30 min. workouts I on the machines. It doesn't seem like much but again, while on vacation it is so hard.

Anyone else ever workout on cruises?

I always bring my work out gear and try to get up to the weight room a few times. This last cruise I only made it one time! But I figured it was better than none!! I am going to try and get on the tread mill every day for this cruise but I don't know how long that comittment will last!!

 

[scrapycruiser]

Hi !

Hope everyone is having a good week. Thanks for submitting all the cruise names. Anymore ? We'll have a poll the end of the week. Don't forget the big announcement from DCL regards to the DREAM !! So exciting, adding a new ship to the fleet !! Anyone planning on a DREAM cruise in the future ?

Anyone making plans for St Thomas & St Maarten ? The holidays are just around the corner, then before you know it ,it'll be the new year. I can feel the sand between my toes !!

I can't wait to sail on the DREAM! Hopefully one day we will! DH is a member of D23 and he got his magazine in the mail yesterday. There are some drawings/computer graphics of the Dream in there and it looks beautiful!

We haven't discussed excursions too much yet. We know we want to snorkel for sure though.
Last year, we snorkled in the snorkle lagoon at Castaway Cay. It was a windy day so the water was a bit cloudy, however, we saw tons of fish! There were hundreds of them and if you let yourself, you could have touched them. And they got so close! They weren't afraid of us--but I was kinda afraid of them! lol! I had to pop my head out of the water several times so I didnt see that I was surrounded by fish, ha! It was fun though--I definitely recommend it!

 

[Pumpkin Princess]

Did you just rent equipment or did you pay for an excursions? My Husband would like to take my son snorkeling and so we would like like any info you could provide.

 

[ErieCruiser08]

We rented the snorkel equipment from Disney. We paid for it on the ship and I think they gave us a voucher to turn in at the snorkel place on Castaway Cay. I believe it was $25 per adult for rental, which included mask, fins, and snorkel.
Then we just walked right into the crystal clear water and began snorkling. Its so much fun looking for the hidden treasures under the water. Also, if you aren't interested in snorkeling, you can sit on the beach which is in the same area as the snorkel lagoon. So you could watch them snorkel from a cozy lounge chair
Have a great day!

I am also looking for a place to snorkel, swim, relax on the days we are in St. Marten and St. Thomas. I think our family just wants to hang and enjoy the beach those days. Are there nice beaches to hit at either port of call? Some beach with locals cooking lunch and serving drinks....

A co-worker of mine said somehting about Oriental beach at StM?

thanks,

DH

 

[scrapycruiser]

Orient Beach is beautiful.Don't know if there's snorkling. The section of the beach that we like is Dawn Beach .Very wide white sandy beach. Chairs,umbrellas,Scavengers Beach Bar...burgers,salads,fresh fish,etc. Bathroom(2) chg facillities. Nice picnic tables w/ thatched coverings. We sat there for an hour while our Granddaughters played next to us in the sand. Some people complain that there is nudity. We only saw one couple walk by on the beach. The kids didn't even notice. The adults found it amusing. "Live and let live", that's my motto. I think Orient Beach is a beautiful and very restful place. It's been called the" French Riviera of the Caribbean". BTW, the first time we were in St Maarten, we went to the beach near the ship. I thought it was fine for college age, but it was loud and crowded. But don't book a tour to Orient Beach. There are plenty of taxis & taxi vans on each end.Plenty when you're ready to come back to the ship. Most taxi drivers will agree to come back and get you at a certain time. My driver didn't want us to pay him until he came back !

My favorite place to snorkle is St John's Island. We always take a DCL tour there. It's a 30 min ?? ferry ride over and back. Some like Sapphire Beach. Too many iguanas for me. Sorry, but I'm scared to death of those creatures !

Do we have anyone else wanting to submit a name for our cruise ?? We'll have a poll on Sat

Scrapy, thanks for the info
