*May 26, 2012 - Mickey's Memorial Day Fantasy*

[poohs4me]

We don't know what we are doing this time. We have done both booked with DCL and on our own. We have done mainly scuba diving excursions in Cozumel and Grand Cayman booked through DCL. Snorkeling we booked on our own in Cozumel.

I was looking at the Secret River excursion thing this time, but don't know. My sister was thinking of dolphins or sting rays I think. We will probably skip one of the ports and stay on the ship as well

 

[bagley15]

Has anyone ever done the submarines? We have two kids in our group that are 6 and 7 so that limits us... We live in Florida so we can do the dolphins anytime and the beach anytime....looking for something a little different. Any and all suggestions are welcomed!!!

Here is another update on the lanyards.

We are at 76 (including shesesewsall having 2 per person)

We still need 100!!

These are $1.90 each

I am still missing a lot of cabin numbers. Just a reminder the reason for the cabin number is incase you miss the Dismeet I or someone else can drop them off at your cabin.


Here is everyone I have listed for lanyards. Please let me know if I am forgetting you, I apologize ahead of time if I am.

I have officially paid off our cruise today, so we're definitely going!! Sign us up for 4 of them.

 

[alikat99]

Anyone else going to be up at midnight this weekend to make Palo reservations or excursions reservations?

Also has anyone rented a cabana on CC? if so, would you rent it again?

We've been trying to decide if we're definitely going, and paid it off this morning. This will be our 9th DCL cruise, so I will definitely be up to book our Palo ressies, and maybe a Cabana. We haven't tried one yet, but I'm definitely tempted.

 

[alikat99]

I really don't know what we're going to do about excursions this time around. This will be our 4th time in both Cozumel & Grand Cayman, and we've already done Stingray City twice, the Island Tour (Hell & Turtle Farm), and in Cozumel the Beach Break & the Dolphin Encounter.

My girls are a bit older now (8 & 10), so I'm trying to decide on things that we haven't done before. I was considering the Dune Buggy adventure in Cozumel and maybe the Pirate adventure in Grand Cayman. We're really taking this trip because it's on the Fantasy and the girls really wanted to spend a whole week on the new ships. And, we get out of school the Thursday before we leave, so this was the first one. We didn't really care if it was Eastern or Western.

I am so frustrated with the DCL website. I book something and then it disappears. First, it won't let me book stuff for my family and than it will and than it won't!! ERRRRR

I had the same problem on our last cruise.

I'm so sorry to hear that!! I wasn't used to the new way to book excursions, etc. I had to kind of figure it out, since it's different than the last time that I booked a cruise. But, I didn't have any problems with it not saving my stuff. I did realize though, that I needed to save the stuff in my "cart" before I could go to another day.

And, I got my check-in time at 11, which was nice, because we always like to be there early!

I was able to get the Bamboo Massage I wanted;

We are not able to book anything until Feb 26th....can anyone share with me how to book excursions? Also, was anyone able to book the B.B. Boutique?

Once you are in your cruise reserveration, you can see "My Cruise Activities". Once your window to book excursions opens, another link is added "Book" or at the top of the page there are reminder links, which also work. Right now mine says 101 days left to book onboard fun and Port Adventures! Book Now" The Book Now is a link to the cruise activities page. You can then add the excursion by the day it is available.

I was not able to book BBB.

I was not able to book BBB.

What is BBB?

Never mind. I just figured out that it was Bippidi Boppity Boutique, or however it is you spell it.

Sorry - yes it as you said, but I cannot spell it either.

 

[capntavis]

what is everyone doing for excursions? booking on your own or via DCL? Staying on ship and skipping a port or two? Anyone done any of the Western excursions before that you would recommend or avoid?

TIA

We are diving in Cozumel and Grand Caymans. I'm not sure what we are doing for Costa Maya. We will probably snorkel in CC and just bum around.

Some of my family is planning on diving in Cozumel and Grand Cayman. We dove in both places a few years ago and had a great time.

Postcard/Recipe Exchange
This is great way to share where you are from with your cruise mates. The way it works: Purchase postcards from your place of residence and either write a recipe on the back to share, a small note, or nothing at all. There is no right or wrong with this, just a fun way to remember all those who shared this cruise together. Please pm poohs4me with cabin number and state or country (if outside US)

DIS Lanyards
We will be ordering custom lanyards from lanyard lab. The current cost is $1.90 each. Verygfy will be keeping the list of participants. For a picture of the lanyard click here. The only change will be made is the date of the cruise will be added to the lanyard itself. If you are interested in participating please pm verygfy or post here. Please include your DIS name, number of people you wish to purchase lanyards for and names of each person.
