Never been on a cruise--help!

[lilpritch04]

Hi! DH and I are doing the 4 Land/3 Sea package for our HM. Neither of us have ever been on a cruise before so we don't know what we should be spending our time on--that's why I'm here!

We have the later dinner booked--we were told this was better for honeymooners, but other than that we're clueless. We'll be on the Disney Wonder boarding 9/30 and leaving 10/3. Is there anything we should really try to do that is more adult focused??

What excursions do you recommend??
Shows onboard??

What else?

We would like to get a couples massage (it is offered as part of the Romance Plan, but we're not sure if we're going to do that or not)

I really appreciate your recommendations!

Well first congrats on the wedding!!!! Beautiful dress by the way! Now off to your questions:

I can't help much with the excursions because we did a scuba dive and then the glass bottom boat (real yawner there) but I'm sure others may suggest Atlantis and walk around there. Or just stay on the ship and enjoy the calmness and lack of people!

The shows we liked the best were
Golden Mickeys..it was really cute
Disney Dreams

If you are thinking of maybe going to Palo's (adults only restaurant and really romantic) and you want to get massages I think you'd be wise to get the REAS package! At least that way you are assured to get a time at Palo and massaged!

You'll definitely want to do the main shows. Do Palo. Hang out on deck 10 forward at night (it's deserted!) There are lots of adults only places.

Since we've done only Magical cruises....I'm not much help on the Wonder. You'll definitely like late dinner.

And I agree, a gorgeous dress

Definitely go to all of the shows. They're wonderful. My husb. & I enjoy watching the Match Your Mate game (a Bob Eubanks / Newlywed-type game) - maybe you'll even be picked to be on it! Take advantage of all of the 'adults only' areas - pool, Palo, clubs, etc. You can be as busy as you want, participating in things, or as relaxed as you want to be, just hanging out on deck or around the pool, etc.

At Castaway Cay: We always enjoy doing the Getaway Package that includes the bikes, snorkeling equipment & float for the day. We have also enjoyed the banana boat & parasailing at CC. Go to the adult beach - if nothing else, just to check it out for awhile. It's much more relaxing & serene.

Have a wonderful time! You'll be back

First off Congratulations on your marriage!!

My husband and I did the same thing for our honeymoon, it was our first time cruising as well so we opted for the Disney land/sea too.

Make sure to get reservations at Palos it's a romantic adult restaurant, save room for chocolate souffle for desert!!!

After supper head out on deck, being on deck at night was my favorite it's so amazing to look out onto the ocean, can't even put into words.

Not to miss show's........Disney Dreams & Golden Mickeys! The Disney Dreams ending is magical.

We didn't do any excursions just walked around Nassau, and lounged around Castaway Cay (my favorite place on earth).

Have a great time, and if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask

We really liked the surial at the spa.
There are lots of threads on this if you do a search you can see others comments. Some people like it a whole lot more than others.
Basically you are alone in a steam chamber for an hour with body muds and scrubs and stuff.
It was one of DH's favorite parts of the cruise!
