First time cruise

[pigget74]

Need a little help. In your opinion which excursions for the 4 day should we not even consider? We are a family of 4 (DS 10 and DD 7). I would also like to do something special for my DH--something at the spa. Any ideas? Thanks.

We just did our first cruise, also a 4-night and my kids (4 and 7) really enjoyed the Blackbeard Cay excursion at Nassau. Next time, we'll probably book a room at Atlantis, though, just to do something different.
It was our 10th anniversary and I got the Romantic Escape at Sea package, which included the couples massage, champagne breakfast, gift basket and Palo reservations. My DH was very impressed, especially with the rose petal turndown on the Palo night!! He loved the spa time also. I would highly recommend that package.

We are celebrating our 11 year--kids are 10 and 7. What room category did you have? We are all very excited--making last payment soon. How far before the cruise should I get our travel documents? What did you use for identification for your kids--birth certificates? I thought about the about the REAS package--just not sure yet. Thanks for the input.

For most of the Caribbean ( and the Bahamas and Castaway Cay) you only need a birth certificate. My TA said the travel docs would arrive 1 week before the cruise.
