Welcome! There are a bunch of 8 year old girls on this cruise emailing each other, would Alyssa be interested in emailing? You can send me a pm if she is.

I am so sorry to hear about your father. My father has lung cancer that he is fighting right now but at least I am an adult. I can't imagine how much harder it would be to lose someone when you are so young. Even if your DM doesn't want her to email back and forth we can send her welcome aboard email with a few pictures so she will have a familiar face in the clubs.

The last part would be great to start with, and from there I'll finish talking DM into it I'll PM you my email address. Her name is Rachel and she's currently 10 years old (11 in september). Yeah it's a really hard thing to go through (losing a parent)...and something none of us are quite over yet....but we are all looking so much forward to this cruise it's a bit ridiculous.

Thanks everyone for the welcome

Posted elsewhere last week. We will be joining this cruise also.

Crew members are:
Me(35)
DH(38)
Son Joshua(10)
Daughter Alyssa(8)

Please let me know if you have any children in these categories. I'm sure my kids would love to find others to play with.

Welcome!

I have a DS who will be 8 on the cruise and DD will be 3 1/2. There seems to be quite a few other kids in this age groups too.

Hey, I didn't know there was a list! (I always skip to the last page.....). That's very handy. Thanks.

Be sure to check the roll call list for accuracy. Let me know of any changes or additions -- such as pre or post-cruise plans. Many families enjoy meeting fellow cruisers at WDW the day before the cruise, or at dinner the night before the cruise.

Try to include ages at the time of sailing -- especially for the kids. (Okay, you can be perpetual age 29.)

Anyone got any waitlist requests for room upgrades pending?

Just popping in to say hi!

This is the least prepared I've felt for any of our cruises. I still have no ideas what any of our excursions will be. Has anyone decided what they are doing yet? My DS's Bar Mitzvah is less than a month before we sail, and that planning is cutting into my cruise planning time .

[FrenchSnowWhite]

Hi Lauri, we've decided all of our excursions a long time ago!!!

We're gonne do the French Riviera Rendezvous in St-Martin.

And the St-John's island tour because i've heard so many wonderfull things about it! Don't know if we're gonna have the time to do a little bit of beach after that tour.....I would love to!

 

[Stimpy]

We have our excursions almost figured out. I just have to really get into researching them a tad more and then booking them. Since both are privately run companies, I'd like to book them sometime soon so I have one less thing to worry about.

No waitlist for upgrades here We were able to book the stateroom we wantd with no problems. (But then we did book about 1-2 days after they announced the cruises for 07 ) A free upgrade would be nice Although, I'm actually hoping my DSis & her family get one instead

That's awfully nice of you!

I usually have my shore excursions planned out by now but I really can't decide what to do this time. I really want to make this trip a little less planned out (stressed out) but I still want to make sure that we get to do some snorkeling and siteseeing. Of course, there is the need to shop also.

 

[woody73]

Of course!

This time we aren't planning and shore excursions. We are interested in seeing Coral World in St. Thomas so we will probably do that on our own. Otherwise maybe a little shopping in St. Marteen and then just enjoy an empty ship.
