My beloved has told me I haven't been reading the posts to closely. Someone actually recommended that I organized the ADULT activities. I guess they do not know what happened on the 1st DCL west coast cruise. Oh my golly that was a cruise to remember I wonder if I can still squeeze into those Lime Green Speedo's for the tiniest bathing suit competion. I am still amazed they didn't toss me off the ship for the Beer Pong tourment on the top deck.
The digital camera scavender hunt was a hoot.

I'm doing a digital camera scavenger hunt for the teens

We have a son who will be turning 5 during the cruise. Anyone have a son similar in age?

My sons are 19 and 21. I noticed (from the 7 day navigators that someone posted) that they have activities for "college age" adults. Do any of you have college age adults gong on the cruise? I am just trying to help align their expectations.....

Sorry "not here" reply to both of you. I have daughters 16 and 7. I don't know much about the college age stuff. Someone with more experience will be along, I'm sure.

Kaylah will be almost 17 when we cruise....but not yet old enough for Palo and the adult stuff.

We've cruised with kids in that age group and I honestly don't recall them doing any of the activities for college age...if they even had them before.
They usually just did whatever we did....pool, clubs, Palo, spa...and the Pub is always a big hit with that age group, not just for the drinking but for the things they do in there....and the nacho bar!

Hey Everybody! Just joining in! We were booked on the 4 nite May 24th, but after pricing out 3 days at WDW w/Poly and Tix, it was cheaper to just stay on the ship. Tortola here we come! We have adjoining cat 10s on the 2nd deck. First time without a porthole- but I guess I can suffer, after all we'll be on the MAGIC! I'll be catching up on this thread, but if someone wants to share the highlights with me, that's great! So far, the only excursion we've booked is parasailing at CC for all 5 of us. Our 2 oldest DDs are 14 and 16- looks like we've got a few other teens as well.

Nice to meet you all!

Hi,
I'm taking my 18 yr old niece w/ us for her graduation present. She was wondering the same thing, meeting people in that age of like 17-20ish....Last time I took her on the DCL she was 8! A lot has changed for her!

We're still working on our FE gifts and now thinking of door signs for their cabin - I still have mine all together from the 9/08 cruise. Now, what to make....humm...

We still have snow - we got about 3 inchs - we just got back from east cobb and noticed there's was already mostly gone but we are still pretty much white all over here. Did the girls enjoy it?

 

[justmestace]
