I'm curious too because now our ressie says come back on February 18th and I had calculated the 19th. 
As for why this info wasn't there before, my guess is even though I made my final payment to Costco, they had not sent it (or DCL hadn't processed it) at the time I looked.
I got my Passporter today. FINALLY!
And congrats Karen(KY)! Its totally official now. We'll definitely have the kids meet up at he hotel. The only bummer is in order to get cheaper airfare now we don't get in until 5 pm, so we won't get to the Radisson until about 7pm. But my guess is Devin will be up a bit late since he'll sleep on the plane (late nap). The only thing I'll have to do is leave the family and get to Walmart before it closes that night. Hopefully, they will switch you to main seating when we get our docs. Maybe I'll call DCL because if we say we want to link that may increase your chances, but I'm not sure. If not, we'll do it on the ship. We are getting to port around 10 am.
As for excursions, I don't know about Key West. We may skip it. If Devin is potty trained and wants to play in a less crowded pool, we are skipping it. If we have to avoid the pool, we'll get off the ship. I was looking at posts regarding the electric cars, but we won't have a carseat or a booster, are they safe/legal without them?
Grand Cayman: we booked the Soto's Stingray City and snorkel trip since it had lots of positive reviews on cruise critic and the cayman activity guide message boards. Its cheaper than DCL and most important there is no age restriction. 2 hours for $35 per adult. Devin is free. I can't remember the child price. Gear, punch, fresh water rinse included. For the afternoon we are taking a helicopter tour over Stingray City (and hopefully over the Magic). I received an email saying there was availability but I haven't received a confirmation yet, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. This tour also got good reviews on cruise critic.
Cozumel: I'm thinking Playa Mia. Its $12 as opposed to Paradise Beaches $8 for use of the water toys, etc. but there is a pool. I haven't booked yet, I keep going back and forth. I wanted to do the Dolphin Encounter but Devin is too young for DCL's tour. Dolphin Discovery allows under 3 but most of the space is reserved for the ships and the only time I could book was 3:30 - I don't think so.
CC: I think we'll go to the far end of the family beach and plant our butts in a chair. Brian and Devin can play in the water or make mud castles while I order a fruity frosty beverage with some exotic name. I'd like to go parasailing but if I can't get a ressie, no big deal. Dh doesn't like heights so I know he wont do it. But parasailing is SOOOO much fun!
Whew! I've been thinking about this stuff for months and it just occurred to me that I have a lot more work to do. I need to get booking.
Karen(Madisonznana): I hope you're feeling better soon. Sometimes sprains are worse than breaks IMHO (I've had both). So take care of yourself.
As for trip reviews, I also recommend suzynuprin's entitled Lost luggage, sick kids, etc. Its a very honest (and therefore HILARIOUS) account. Is sleepydog's the one with the painted toenails? If so that is funny tool.
