Thanks Jennifer, that will be great.

 

[DVC Jen]

I think we have decided on our excursions.

Anyone else doing these?

Key West - Conch Republic Tour and Museum Package

Grand Cayman - Island Tour and Butterfly Farm

Cozumel - Ocean View Explorer Tour

 

[SimbaNoodle]

Excursions:

Key West - wander around and take Key West in. Maybe do one of
the trollies

Grand Caymen - Sting Ray Tour and snorkeling

Cozumel - Spend day at Paradise Beach

Castaway Cay - Parasailing with my DD, always wanted to do this.

All of these are subject to change and probably will.

 

[Tam-PA]

Here's what we plan on (so far)


Key West - on our own, possibly a trolley

Grand Cayman - snorkel and stingray tour

Cozumel - Tulum ruins, if available

Castaway Cay - Parasailing, 1st time too, if available


When are non Castaway Club members permitted to book on-line? I hope we will still have time to do some shopping in all the ports.

Has anyone been to the shipwreck museum? My DH is really interested in going there.

Never been. Sorry. Haven't heard anything about it either.

 

[legs22]

I hope Cozumel looks decent by the time we arrive.

Haven't decided yet what to do in GC and Coz. I think it will have something to do with snorkeling since those are two big dive locations.

If you've never been to KW, the trolley would be a good thing to do.

Parasailing is really fun. You would enjoy it.

Here are the things we have planned so far:

Key West: Trolley tour and Aquarium

Grand Cayman: Atlantis submarine

Cozumel: Cozumel Mini Golf

Castaway Cay: Snorkling and having fun with DS and DH on the beach and in the water.

 

[SimbaNoodle]

Looks like everyone is ready to have a good time.

 

[SimbaNoodle]

18 weeks from tomorrow.

Everyone have a great weekend. I will be painting my kitchen.

According to the DCL web site: "Registration begins 105 days before embarkation for Concierge Level Guests (stateroom categories 1-3); 90 days before embarkation for Castaway Club members; 75 days before embarkation for first-time Disney cruisers. "

A few weeks ago I got a package from DCL that included a "Ship and Shore Vacation Guide" with a letter telling me the exact date that I could start booking excursions, ressies, and the kids club online. Did anyone else get this?

Dana,

My TA called last week and said she was putting ours in the mail I am thinking it will come in today's mail. She knows how excited we are so she said she would do it right away.

I don't know what we will do once this cruise is over!!

We got it about 2 weeks ago I think.

I am not sure if any or all of you believe in prayer..but if you do.. would you mind keeping me in your prayers?

I am going through a really hard time at work right now.. something that is nearly more than I can deal with.

I have even thought about quitting and that would mean no cruise for us most likely. I love my job but like I said.. this has shattered me.

I'm sorry I can't go into more details.. and to be honest... I really don 't want to at this point.

Thanks.

Can't wait! I'm a DsingleM with DS16. This will be our 4th on DCL. Now to reserve some excursions!

Jennifer,

Sorry your having a hard time right now. We will say a prayer for you.

I hope it all works out and we can see you on board. Not knowing exactly what is wrong, all I can say is take a deep breath, take a step back and hopefully you can see things from a different perspective.

Lewis, Wendy and Family

 

[SimbaNoodle]

Welcome aboard jclark3, nice to meet you.

Look forward to talking with you over the next few months.

 

[DWeaver]

Jennifer - We will keep you in our prayers -- I do hope everything will turn out o.k. for you.

 

[DWeaver]

Hi jclark3. Looking forward to chatting with you about the upcoming cruise.

 

[lmok]

Jennifer,

Prayers are with you, your family and all of those involved. Keep your head up, turn it over to God, do what is right and all else will fall into place.

J Clark.
