My DS 10 and his friend LOVED it! I gave them sign in/out privileges and that was nice. They actually spent more time in the lab than I had anticipated! They had a blast in there! My son is very shy, that is why we took a friend. IT WAS THE BEST DECISION for us! Their curfew was the same time as the closing of the lab and they were always back in the room 5 min. or less after closing.
They did not enjoy shopping in St. Maarten (no big surprise) but LOVE their color changing t-shirts! Those shirts are sooo cute and you can bargain so we got them for less than $10 each (we did buy some for DS's friends family too).
The highlights for them -- ordering room service at least once a day! (I left money in the drawer for their tips), the Atlantis Submarine -- they LOVED that!, doing the Banana Boat on
Castaway Cay, and the lab activities!
Any other ?'s Barb, just ask (I KNOW you're not shy about asking
LOL - we learn alot from them too!!!, so thanks.)
Upgrade for my parents at port -- we had gotten them a category 9 room on deck 10, they upgraded to a cat. 6 on deck 6 smack in the middle of the ship for $358. Not bad. It was worth every penny for them and then some! We asked, for cat 10 to cat 6 it was $649 per room. NOT WORTH IT TO US! We had connecting rooms and could have upgraded to connecting rooms in cat.6 but chose not to. GOOD decision for us! We LOVED our cat. 10's and will go with those rooms again! The kids slept later, we NEVER felt cramped (even with 7 people in the two rooms!), It was never claustrophobic at all! left the closet cracked at night so had night lights - just great! Were hardly in the room (except the boys ordering room service!), kids napped in the club a couple of times - they just let them sleep, never paged about that!
DH and I want to go alone now! Probably will do a cat. 10 or lower then too! Found so many other things to spend my money on -- and did
.
We sailed on the Wonder Oct 13, Had to say what a wonderful and completely perfect vacation it was. The activities were super, food fabulous, room (delux inside) perfect. We found it to be the best. Lots of storage, great layout, and because of the lack of window, I slept past the crack of dawn and my family loved it. Sleeping a little later turned out to be fun and needed after all the late night activities I could not miss, clubs, movies romantic walks!!! My DD (15) had a fab time, friends, activities, it was a perfect vacation for all. I did get to see a varanda room, nice, but less storage, and I had lots of fun spending the money I saved. Waiters are the best and we had a very kind hostess for our room. Only tip I must pass on is bring something for sea sickness you never know how you will handle it. Poor DD and DH both battled it. Also don't bring any food , if it is opened you can't brink it home. Never a lack of food or drink anyway. This was the trip of a lifetime and Disney is Magic, you are treataed so well. I didn't want to come home and can't wait to be able to take a 7day!! Castaway Cay is magical, so beautiful and clean.
