first time cruiser needs some advice (11/17/02)

[flounder8]

My husband, son, and I will be taking our first cruise on 11/17/02. I'd appreciate any input regarding the following:

1) Any suggestions for the best offshore activity in Nassau (my son is 4-years old so the waterslides are probably out).

2) From this very helpful board, I learned that this is a pin trading cruise. Will this effect the rest of us that haven't gotten hooked yet?

3) What type of clothes should we bring along for dinner?

4) Can you make a reservation at the spa in advance? If not, when is the best time to do this?

Any other suggestions are also appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help!

Welcome to DIS!

I cannot answer the Nassua question because we haven't been there yet.

Dress for dinner is 'dressy casual'. Sundresses, skirts, capris, etc for you and nice shirt and pants for the men.

You cannot make a reservation for the spa until you board. The Navigator you receive when you check in at the port will have the time the spa opens for ressies. Most people that go a few minutes before the posted time say they do start early.
