[Blueshineminnie]

Thanks for organizing this! Its our first Disney Group and I'm sure my daughter will love FE!
Cabin 7590 Myself, my husband, daughter 4, and son 9 months

I've never done anything list this before. Is there a list that you send out? Or do we just go through this tread and write things down? Thanks for the guidance!

Hey, this is my first too! We just made a list of everyone on the FE group and have made a little something for everyone.
I still have to make our actual Fish Extender to hang from our Fish... Our girls are SO excited!!!

Hi! I'm not on your cruise, but did just book the 5 night repo cruise from San Juan to Miami on 11/11. I'm hoping someone would be willing to help me. Since Tortola is a short day ending at 1:45 instead of later in the day, we are wondering which excursions do they offer for this short day. Disney couldn't help me for November yet. Would someone be willing to screen print or copy your excursion options from your cruise planning area for this similar cruise and email me? It will greatly help us with planning. The ones on disney's website are their general ones for full days. They said I can't assume they will be offered for a 5 night due to time in port.

Also, I would LOVE copies of the Navigators after your cruise too. We are traveling with 2 other couples that are first timers (our 8th), but 1st adults-only.

Besides Tortola, ours also stops at St Maarten, CC and day at sea.

Many thanks and have a wonderful cruise!!!

Hello! Super exciting the cruise is only a week away! Decided on a girls trip this time around and celebrating my mom's 60th birthday plus our 3rd cruise. I'll be bringing along my best friend and even though we are early 20's plan to have a better time than all the kids!

So far we will be flying into San Juan on Saturday unsure of what to do still. Any good ideas?

Excursions for Tortola will be through DCL since we have such a limited time. St Kitts we are heading down to cockleshell beach and touring the city by ourselves. This is going to be very interesting because I have never been on the older ships and never been to BVI. Super excited!

 

[Blueshineminnie]

That's exciting!!! We can't wait! Just one week
We're in San Juan too but think we'll take a walk to the beach with our girls and he a good nights sleep.
Never been to the BVI either, or San Juan.
We're doing a beach day on St.Kitts and then just a walk around town on Tortola.
I hope the weather is good.
Praying for sunshine!

Hi, EVERYONE! THE CRUISE IS SO CLOSE! YEY!!! WANTED TO LET EVERYBODY KNOW THAT THE WEATHER IN PUERTO RICO IS JUST PERFECT WITH TEMPERATURES OF low 72° high 83°. IT'S BEEN A LITTLE CLOUDY THESE PAST FEW DAYS BUT THAT'S ABOUT IT.
A WALK THROUGH OLD SAN JUAN IS A MUST AND IF YOU WANT TO TRY SOME GOOD PUERTO RICAN FOOD I WOULD RECOMMEND THE RESTAURANT RAICES, I WOULD ALSO RECOMMEND THE RESTAURANT BARRACHINA... IT'S THE BIRTHPLACE OF THE FIRST PIÑA COLADA.
PUERTO RICO IS THE ISLAND WITH THE MOST HISTORICAL BUILDINGS IN THE CARIBBEAN, SO TRY AND VISIT THE FORTS.
ruttie2, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF AN OFFICIAL DATE AND PLACE HAS BEEN SET FOR A MEET AND GREET, MAYBE A GROUP PHOTO. I THINK LUNCH AT CC SOUNDS GREAT. AND IF SO, HOW WOULD WE IDENTIFY THE GROUP? LOL...

That's good to hear about the weather. I did see some potential rain, but hopefully it's just passing showers for an hour. Thank you for the restaurant recommendations definitely checking those out along with the historical side of PR. staying at the Marriot Stelaris so hopefully they are close by. Time to get my walking shoes out!

 

[Blueshineminnie]

Thanks for the tips about restaurants etc Mandijd ! I'm sure the Puerto Rican food is delicious! Sounds like the weather is going to be wonderful!
Looking forward to meeting you all...
