This will be our first cruise. It's just myself and my 16 year old daughter. Any other single parents with teens?

Welcome! What a treat for you and your daughter!

Like everyone else, I'm more than excited about our cruise! I'm not ready to leave yet, but more than ready for a vacay.

Anyone have a kid who is a soccer player? I made 5x7 soccer Mickey head magnets for our last cruise via vista print and ended up with 10 -- still have 6 left. Would love to personalize and add to the FE loot for fellow soccer players. I can add team names, colors, number, etc.

Woo hoo! It's almost here!
Just checked the weather on castaway cay for our day! High of 79 and no rain! What a relief!

We're traveling during our Spring Break (my husband and I both work in public schools) so I thought that this cruise would be packed with Spring Breakers--guess we'll see how many join!

I'd love to do the FE, but I have no clue how to organize it. I'm so new to the DIS cruise lingo that I had to search for what it even was. I'm sure my kids would love it and I already have some ideas brewing

We just went to Disney World in June so my Dh vetoed the idea of tacking on a few days in the parks. I'm the huge fan and he kinda just goes along, but this time he said it would be too soon to go back again. We're just going to fly in the day before, stay the night at the port, then fly back after our cruise. It'll actually be nice to be home a couple of days before going back to work instead of stumbling around jet lagged for a week (three hour time difference for us).

I have no clue what we're going to do for Nassau--I'm sure my oldest son would love to do the dolphin encounter, but it seems so pricey. Atlantis also seems cool, but I didn't really expect to spend my time in port at a resort. We have a lot of opinions in my group though between my husband, mother-in-law and cousin, so it'll be interesting to see if we even can agree on a port adventure or head separate ways.

What are your thoughts on Nassau? Have you been to the Bahamas before?

having been to Nassau diving will tell you try other web sites some great sail excursions that fit schedule and get you away from it all we are doing a day pass to riu for the day don't feel atlantis is worth it been there great beach at riu all inclusive spending day at the beach with 9 year old snorkeling also bring are own fold up float for castaway cable beach is also nice town is expensive shops not much there out islands are beautiful but not in port long enough to get out to exumas and back but you will have fun no matter what you do

Don't forget our meet'n'greet on Sunday (can't believe it's so close!!!!), 3 pm at Waves, Deck 12 aft. Families encouraged! Finally a chance to put names and faces together from our DIS and FB boards. I'm personally so excited to meet everyone and finally make this dream a reality!

Thanks to everyone for the Fish Extender gifts! We had a great cruise and loved the treats in our Fish Extender every day. So thoughtful, fun and creative. Special thanks to those who included tissue - since I managed to catch a cold!
Hope everyone had a great cruise.

I am not on Facebook, so please pass on my thanks if you are on the facebook page.
