[2littlegirls]

Just and FYI if you haven't gotten your airlines tickets. SWA just came out with some great fares (30, 60, 90 on-way). SEA to LAX was $90 one-way on the day we return.

This is our first cruise, so unfortunately we have to wait. I am paying the balance off this week so we can book when our window opens up! I finally have my fish extender, gifts for other FEs and pirate costumes for the family, so all that's left is the waiting

I just finished booking excursions for the 3 ports since the window opened for me too. I was disappointed that the first choice for us on our list in Mazatlan wasn't available to book (no idea why). Should I assume it was all booked up at this point? Maybe there were alot of folks who were high castaway club status and were able to book earlier than the silvers? I had to go to my short list of backups to pick.

And in Cabo, I was hoping to book 2 excursions as we picked whale watching which is only 2.5 hours and we are done before lunch. I've not been able to find a 2nd excursion to book as everything I pick overlaps on time as it looks like all excursions are in the morning. Anyone find any excursions that are afternoon ones or have afternoon choices? Or is Cabo such that we could safely walk around on our own after we are finished the whale watching excursion and find things to do and see that are within reasonable walking distance from the port?

 

[Stinkerbe11]

I think Cabo is probably the safest port that we visit and I would have no problem walking around there. This wait is killing me! I paid the cruise off today but can't book anything until the 16th, although all I want to book is the the exotic rasul for me and DH. I considered Palo but my "practical" other half
sees no reason to spend extra money on food when it's already included in the fare. Btw, did anyone notice that the Palo charge has increased? I saw a thread on the boards that starting with the January cruises the price is going up. Oh, regarding formal nights, I am forcing myself to lose 10 pounds to avoid buying new dresses. I have some great formals but I haven't had occasion to wear them since having kids as far as pirate night goes, we are all dressing up, please tell me you guys are too!

We have our pirate outfits ready to go! (so excited for that night!) We are going to skip palo this time around also. Watching the buget and would reather spend it on a port activity.

Formal nights are very subjective. My DH wears a suit and tie but you will probably see anything from jeans to tuxes. I say as long as it's tasteful wear something that you are comfortable in, it's your vacation and you should enjoy it!

 

[Tiff@DL]

Hey everyone - just an FYI - DCL is now offering a shuttle from all three of the DLR hotels to the port and back for our cruise - $60.00 pp round trip.
Just thought I'd let everyone know
