Same thing as last year. I had months of occasionally asking if there is anything anyone wants to do. A month ahead, I tell everyone what I want to do and get some definitive answers and a lot of non-answers. Especially from the 4 teens: dealing with teens in two different states, I get a lot of “I don’t care” or “that sounds kinda cool” or “what does cousin a want to do?”
Specifically, I say that I want to do the catamaran snorkel on Nassau last month and hear: cool, so do I, how deep is the water, can papa go, can I get a full face mask, maybe. Booking day came, and I booked for 9 and I think some want to not go.
Then there are other dynamics. My dad wants to do kayak and walking on CC, but worries his knee will not hold up. I went ahead and booked it and told him we would see how his knee felt when it got closer. When it is closer, I wanted to know if I could just take a few off or what I needed to do. If dad’s knee isn’t up to it, some of the group will cancel with him so we don’t leave him alone on CC.
Then there is the issue of the group wanted to do multiple things on
castaway cay but we didn’t know the available times until booking day and now see there are conflicts.
So to sum up, I have tried getting definitive answers from the large group. Rather than not book for them and wish I did, I figured this time I would book and let them cancel; I just didn’t know how to make the changes. I will have them call if they want to remove themselves from an excursion.
