[stardawl8311]

Hey everybody! Sorry I haven't been on! ;( Life has been busy and that is a good thing... Gets us closer to the cruise YAY!!!

Welcome all to bobbiecz and kimkreis!!!

 

[stardawl8311]

Well it is almost certain we will be joining y'all. It will be me, DH, DS14, DD11, and then my sis and her DH, DS 8, and DD 4, and then my parents Dad 71 and Mom celebrating her 70th and the reason for the trip.

We have been trying to find the right cruise to fit everyone's schedule and this seems to be the one! We should be booking in the next week or so.

DH is military so between that and the previous Kid Sail Free events I am hoping we get some discounts on this cruise! To help pay for my alcohol and port adventures. Especially since it seems just from co paring this to other cruise meets I have been apart of there aren't many of us, so the king the ship isn't that very full yet.

Anyone have Ny ideas for port adventures? Since we will miss Castaway Cay I was hoping the who,e family could do a fun beac day at one of the ports.

Hope to hear more from all of you.

I am a Military Brat, although I don't really call myself that even though I just did. HA!!

My dad is Ret Lt Col in the Air Force, my older bro and sis were the lucky ones who got to travel, even to Japan! While my other brother and me stayed put in Oklahoma for 11 years. I loved it though!!

My brother is a chief in the Navy! Moving to Hawaii from Conn in a couple months. Time to book a vacation.. I mean visit.. to see him there ha ha!

Has anyone planned any yet? DCL has no 'official' excursions. My friend just came off a cruise and Jamaica was one of the ports. She said she would never go back because this lady took her by the arm and pulled her down an alley to go see her shop.

Also said quite a few people on the street were high and she felt very uncomfortable.

Any ideas?

My parents vacationed in Jamaica for their 40th anniversary about 6 or so years ago and my mom said the same thing. They stayed at a Sandals Resort, but she also commented how they will take you by the arm and pull you into their shops. She had to firmly tell them NO! many times. It isn't a pleasant experience I am sure!

We have yet to pay off the trip, so we haven't had a chance to look at the excursions for the trip. Bummer that there aren't any yet! I am guessing we will just have to wait and see when it is getting closer!

 

[smithzer1]

I looked on the excursions page unfortunately didn't see any listed but a friend of mine was telling me that you can get a taxi and have them take you to the beach, rum joint , food, shopping, etc and she said there are also island tour buses that will be available at port that charge a nominal fee. You can also go to Falmouth's website and book excursions with the local companies. Hope that helps some oh yeah and I'm still PATIENTLY GOING CRaZy!!!!

Hey lady go to the Disney cruise site and look under port excursions you will be able to see all excursions for all ports before you are done paying in full for your cruise

Do any of the previous cruises match up to ours? By that I mean, will we know when our pirate night is? Trying to think of a night for the adults to go to Palo for dinner.

Once we are able to book our activities online you should be able to see which night is pirate night. I would assume the others would match up to our cruise but I don't know. Hope that helped somewhat

We didn't go to Palo on our cruise in Feb. We definitely are going to book one or two nights there this time! I ate way to much on Pirate night due to them opening up a yummy buffet with lots of deserts! Oh man! LOL!
