Hi everyone! Welcome to all the new people! I can't believe we are getting close!!!!

DH and I are really excited, the kids not so much (they are trying to plan their next cruise).

Count us in for FE's, even though I have no idea what we'll bring! We are in 6584!

Our excursions: sail,snorkel, kayak- Key West; SCUBA diving in both Grand Cayman and Cozumel

So far no Palo reservations, thinking about adding dinner one night once on board. We are second seating for dinners.

 

[papertraveller]

This is so exciting - you can sense that we're all really getting prepared now!

Amanda, please make us red on your list since we're definitely in for FEs! Will you be distributing a spreadsheet before the cruise with stateroom numbers and such? If so, I'll PM you with our email address. Thanks!

And Erin, in Grand Cayman we're going to take it easy and grab a taxi to Sea Grapes beach for a couple of hours. Not sure if anyone else on the board here wants to do the same, but just in case ...!

In Cozumel we are considering the Fury Catamaran snorkel trip, which includes some beach time too. I've posted a question about this on the main boards. Last year we snorkelled for the first time, at St. Maarten and St. Thomas, and it was amazing.

Hi Papertraveller,

We are doing the fury catamaran in Cozumael. I was tempted to do the eco-park, but my mom loves the beach so much, I want to make sure she gets plenty of beach time. In Grand Cayman we'll be back by 1:15, so I think we will go to the beach for the last few hours there too. Is Sea Grapes the best one to go to?

I am getting really excited... AND I go home in 20 days!!!!

 

[madmom1030]

I updated post 122. Let me know if I missed anything or if something is wrong.

I am off to work it is a snow day for the rest of my family but not for me.

If you decide to do the eco-park tell you mom is has a very nice beach. We swam and had lunch on the beach in July. It also has a very interesting and fun underground river you float down.

I don't know about the beaches in Grand Caymen. I have only been there once and we shopped! Am going to try to get off the beaten path this time. Anyone game?

Hi Erin, I am home today too. Not due to snow - currently enjoying 55 degree partly cloudy in my near Orlando back garden! I had an injection into my shoulder and have to keep it iced down today.

We keep telling the girls one day we will move to Florida. They don't want us to move till they are done with school. The snow is ending soon but the temp is going to drop all day right now is 27 the overnight low is suppose to be 11. The high tomorrow is suppose to be 19.

Hello Hello!

I just booked today! I booked a GTY room, so I am not sure what the room number is yet.

The DCL site is acting funny now, so I'm not sure if there are any Palo ressies available or what else we may book. I am sure I'll be heading straight to the Palo ressie line when we get on the boat. I'm a little hesitant booking it now anyways--how will I know when our character breakfast is? I wouldn't want to miss that!

Oh, let me back up and explain who we are! I am Jen, DH is Jer, DS9 (well, 9 in 2 days!) is Adam, and DS7 is Brad. We are celebrating our 10 year anniversary on this cruise. We have cruised on the Wonder once before--last March. A 4 night to Nassau.

I booked Nachi Cocom for DH & I. Yes, I plan on leaving the boys behind. They were actually supposed to stay home for the entire trip (10 year anniversary celebration usually means NO kids right?!). But, they suckered me into taking them with. Drop the airfare add kids. So now we are driving from NW Indiana to PC with 2 kids. Yes, I am the one who asked about bringing alcohol and HOW MUCH you can bring!!!!!!

So, the compromise was that they would stay on the boat, enjoy themselves, and give DH and I some alone time on a beach. They agreed. We will take them to a beach in Grand Cayman. I am still researching that--any help/tips you can give is MUCH appreciated. I'm not sure a beach chair and drink is worth around $130 for the beach in Grand Cayman. Hmm...we shall see what happens.

I think I am rambling....I am very excited about the trip! Can you tell?!

I'm interested in FE--gotta go read what it's all about, but it sounds like fun!

Hello jlindemer and Happy (early) Anniversary! We are celebrating our 10-year anniversary on this cruise, as well.... with our kids! We hope to sneak in some couple time here and there. To that end, we got Palo reservations, but nothing else firmed up.

A snow storm is rolling into MD this afternoon, and I'm in a FL state of mind!

How much snow are you suppose to get? They said we were suppose to get up to 6 inches but only ended up with 3-4 inches.

[Delgnat]

OK, dumb question. I saw someone mention a princess breakfast? What is that all about? I never saw that in a single thing I read. Is that something that is just assigned to us once we get there? How about a "prince" breakfast? Anything else like this I don't know about?? Kind of overwhelmed.

Happy anniversary to you too!

When is your anniversary? Ours is not until May 26, but I am the GM of a hotel that is very full most of the summer, so I have to take my trips when it is cold. Which is fine by me!!!

 

[ALSBC91]

Lots of anniversaries! LOL! Our kids, and my parents, aren't really happy that we are going on this cruise without them. We all went on our first cruise in October on the Wonder and LOVED it! DH had such a great time that he made sure we booked this anniversary cruise before we got off.

We will be celebrating our 20th anniversary on March 26th!
