Looking for Nov 9th ~ 7 Day Western Magic Cruisers!

[Bob Noble]

Hey guys,
I picked up the tour packet today. Leave me a post if I can confirm anything for you.

Later, Bob

Linda sorry to hear about your great grandmother.

Bob are there any new excursions being offered?

 

[marty Jay]

Linda , I'm sorry to hear about your great grandmother. I hope you are doing okay.

Patty, Meeting at the ESPN lounge sounds good to us too. ( Assuming us new cruisers will be able to find )LOL. We will be trying to arrive at Port around 10- 10:30 and will have to drop off our rental car first. I too will be making the dash to Palo's to get dinner and brunch reservations ( Again assuming I'll be able to find it and not find myself in the engine room) So what time was everyone thinking about getting together? I'm looking forwards to meeting everyone.

Bob, Are there any different excursions than what has been listed alreadyon the threads? Does the package mention dinning times?
I'm so excited to receive mine, but I'm guessing it will still be a while for it to reach me here in Nanaimo.

Take care everyone

Marty Jay

We could just tell all the NEW cruisers that Palo's is on Deck 1, and that way it wouldn't be so crowded up there.

Hi guys, nothing But...

There are several excursions that are being offered twice that I did not have off the web site page. I'll try and list the additional times here...
KW no changes noted. GC Beach Break also offered at 7:25 AM, 7 mile sail and snorkel also offered at 12:40 PM, Seaworld semi-sub also offered at 8:10 am, Stingray City Snorkle and discover Cayman tour also offerd at 7:50 am. Grand Cayman Island tour also offered at 1:25 PM

Coz Golf now at 10:20 vs 10:10, Dolphin Discovery now offerd three times at 10:20 am, 12:00n and 1:00 Pm, Snorkle at Chankanaab also offered 9:45 am, Fury Teen cruise time now 6:00 Pm was 6:30 PM. Ocean view explorer also offerd at 11:00 am.

Castaway Cay The Wild side now at 9:00 am was at 9:30 am.

That is about the extent of the differences I noted between the official DCL web site list of excursions and the list that came with the package.

Hope this helps, I am off on business til next Monday so keep us bumped up

Talk with you later
Bob

Patty,

I didn't know you had such a devious mind!!!! I guess I better make sure I memorize that boat from top to bottom? LOL


Marty Jay

 

[peagreenid]

My Dear you haven't even SEEN ...DEVIOUS!!!!





And if I can keep Palo Brunch all to myself................

 

[DuncanLL]

Just bumping us up from page 3. I had DCL fax me the excursion information so we can make our final decisions over the weekend. Looks like we'll do Conch Train on our own, Stingray City and Discover Cayman Tour and Dolphin Discovery just as a back-up in case we don't get the Dolphin Swim we're wait-listed for.

Linda

 

[peagreenid]

That peeves me to no end. I just called last night and was told no....they couldn't send or fax me one, and when I wanted to book I could just call dcl and they would describe the excursions to me over the phone.............NOT!!

smiles Patty

 

[peagreenid]

now I call and they tell me that they are sent after FINAL Payment is made and since mine was so close, I probably wouldn't get one? WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT? Does that even make sense. I had my payment made a couple of weeks ago.

She said she will try and reissue them............

We did the open air massage last year and honestly you'd be better off doing a massage on the ship (perhaps on a day at sea). Don't get me wrong, the massage was GREAT but you are laying down NOT admiring the view the entire time, sans the first min or two when you walk into the 'hut.' The initial view really is something but as I said it only lasts for a very short time. We also had a massage on the ship with the same masseuses and it was nearly as enjoyable. Bottom line is that there is SOOO much to do in paradise (Castaway Cay), why 'waste' your time with a massage that you can easily do onboard.

That's my .02..

Does anyone know the price of the massage on the ship?I would love to have one but fear that I will become addicted.LOLWhat other spa treatments are worthwhile.I have heard about the surial bath But I don't think that is my thing.Plus I rather leave the baby with DH while I take some Mommy time.

 

[D. R. N.]

Full body is $89

Half body is $59

If you go to the DCL website, they have a list of treatments and prices. Look under Onboard activities - adults - spa treatments.

 

[dis4me]

Thanks thst is pretty reasonable.Now if I could just figure out how to get that chocolate soufle without going to Palo I'll be set.LOL

 

[peagreenid]

Reservations are set

Capt. Marvins 1/2 day snorkeling for 10:00 am
Eagle Ray Divers Discover Scuba for noon

I think we are set!

Now I need to decide which of the teen exursions Mutt and Jeff are going to do.

Bob, Shercara- Did you your kids decide? Mutt and Jeff would like to do both.

smiles Patty

 

[DuncanLL]

When we book our own independent excursions in either Cayman or Cozumel, is there a difference in DCL time vs. local time? If it says ship gets in at 10:00, is that local time or do we need to adjust something????????

Linda

 

[Bob Noble]

Hey Linda I am quite positive that the times listed for ships arrival are local times. That is why we do the clock forward/back routine. Not all lines do this and it is an advantage to be on local time.

Patty, My teen wants in on the Fury cruise, so I will call it in on Tuesday the 10th. He, and we, are not sure on the wild side as it is an early start, he loves to sleep in, and if the in thing is to go we will try and sign him up on board. We want to do the banana boat rides on CC also.

I'll play catch up on the boards a bit tomorrow,

Bob

 

[DuncanLL]

Welcome Back, Bob!

Hope you had a great trip.

Linda

 

[Shercara]

First, I'd like to tell you I'm sorry to hear about your Great Grandma Linda, I was blessed to have had my Great Grandma in my life until I was 20 yrs old. I have said a prayer for you and your family.

So sorry I've been away from the boards. My Grandpa who has been ill in the hospital, passed away on Friday night. He was 84 years old, and he and my Grandmother would have been married for 64 years at the end of the month. They have 5 children, 16 grand children, and 11 great grand children. It's a very tough time for our family and just so hard to believe he is gone. We were so blessed to have had him in our lives. The wake is tomorrow, and the burial is Tuesday. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.

I'll try to remember to call for excursions, but not sure if I'll have time on Tuesday. I'm signing Nick up for the Teen Fury, but not the Wild Side, he's not sure if he wants to do that - you are right Bob, it's kind of early to be up and functioning!

Take care all!
Sher

Shecara I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved Grandfather.Our prayers and thoughts are with you.
