It was awesome...I understand why people get hooked.

Motion sickness...I was planning on taking Bonine...got sick before the cruise with an inner ear thing...the ENT gave me low dose Valium (1mg) along with the Bonine. I felt sick twice and both times I slipped on the Sea bands and felt great within an hour. The sea bands really do work!

Categories...we stayed in a cat 10 and it was wonderful. We liked the fact that the room stayed dark...helped with sleeping in when we were tired. The room was so incredibly well planned that we never felt cramped. I would def go with a cat 10 again, esp as we really cannot afford to step up much. When I felt like being on deck we went to Deck 4 and it was lovely there.

The shoe rack over the door...I chose to use it, my sister chose not to. The thing I liked about it was I felt like everything was organized. No matter which bathroom you were using, you grabbed what you needed and put it back when you were done...excellent idea.

Extension cord is a must have for me...brought my own alarm and would not have been able to use it without the cord.

People were sick onboard. I drilled everyone to death on not touching things and washing hands frequently. Thankfully, we stayed well.

Used Tiffany for a limo...had 7 of us and needed to put some carry ons in with us, but that was ok...the service was very good. They were on time each time (we had 3 legs of the trip).

Stingray City was the ultimate for us. We all loved it!!!

Cozumel Sally has a nice golf course, and we enjoyed it a great deal. Thing I would have changed would have been going to the state park to snorkel during the day and hitting Sally's at night after dinner. It was very hot and we got lost trying to find it...the locals were NO help. By the time we finished playing after all the walking, we were finished for the day.

You can easily make a day in the park after the cruise. We were off the ship so quickly! Checked into the WL and hopped the boat to the MK...we did every ride we wanted to and were back at WL by 8. Had a nice overnight stay at WL...I have wanted to stay there for years.

We spent a lot of money. I gained 6 1/2 pounds. I would not have done it differently. :)
 
I'm so glad you had a great first cruise Donna :)

Now you're in trouble because cruising is addicting :eek: :)
 
It's great to hear how nice it was Donna! I'm happy for you!

Want to join us on a 7 day Eastern next June?:cool: :cool:
 

I'm so happy you enjoyed yourself. I'm particularly glad to hear how you managed with an inside cabin. Thanks for the post!
 
Did you go to any of the theme nights....like 50, 70, 80's???? Or Match Your Mate.....I love all those things!!!

That's why my SIL and I are doing Weight Watchers right now (down 12.5 lbs but have much more to go!). I want the extra "room" for the weight I know I'm going to gain! If you're going to gain weight....it may as well be on a Disney cruise!!:p :p

A challenging round of 18 holes is $7 per adult and $5 per child 11 years old and under. Toddlers playing with plastic putters are only $3. We give each group a walkie-talkie so that they can call in their drink orders to the "clubhouse", and we deliver to your hole. Beer and sangria are $2, soft drinks are $1. You may also choose from our selection of over 400 CD's and we will play your tunes while you play our course!

Please check out our web site if you haven't already:

To walk from the Magic to the course, head north along the waterfront. North means the water is on your left. When you get to the HUGE flagpole which sometimes flies the Mexican flag, put your back to the ocean and walk directly inland 3 blocks. It's a total of about 7 blocks.

I'm sorry you had such a time finding us!
