Can you tell me more about snorkeling with turtles? I don't remember seeing that anywhere.

Apparently Turtle Cove somehow,85% of the time, has turtles that you can see / snorkle with.

This is the 1/2 day;

This is the full day;

Both get great reviews. We want time to shop, well at least walk around on the island, so we chose 1/2 day. The full day, you might not have time to techically set foot on St. Thomas. DCL to boat to water to boat to Honeymoon island to boat to DCL. Seemed odd to me to get off ship, then on boat all day, well ...

That looks awesome!!!

We really have no idea what we are doing except for Palo Brunch if our friend is able to secure which she should be able to do since they are Consierge and book first. I think I really need to spend some time reviewing all the choices.

Ohhh... I'm so ready to talk about booking and making plans! I have no idea what we will do on St. Thomas... but my husband MUST go to the "That Yoda Guy" store on St. Martin. Any other Star Wars freaks... um.. I mean Star Wars fans onboard?

I see and understand that a few of you would like the poll to be reopened to include more names. I'm sorry but I won't do that at this time. Others have already begun voting and I have been asking for and listing all suggested names on the first page for quite some time.

Again, I am sorry.

Is it hard to do a poll? Since we have so many new people lately would it be hard to start over?

 

[JOANNEL]

We of course are going to try to get Palo brunch. Does any one know if they made Palo bigger on the new ships? I wonder if there are more tables since there are more people?

We are just going to just do beach excursion. St Maarten the French rendevous and St Thomas the snorkle and Honeymoon bay. We are not shoppers and did the Island tour last time.

Palo is actually about the same size but configured differently. It holds about the same. I did read that they have now started a Remy Brunch to take some of the pressure off of Palo. I think the first ones are in July or August.

We are going ..... to do the Extreme Fly Zone, .....

I had to check on this. I thought initially it was hang gliding.

Yikes, so I guess it's harder to get.

I can also add they discontinued High/Palo Tea. Slots available for Brunch could increase. That's the theory.

We did the tea once.... and that was enough. Not tea drinker

Everyone seen this thread I hope? Recommended read, prior to commitment, for those undecided. YMMV

I had to stop watching the 2nd longer one you posted, because it looks like SO much fun to me, and I don't want to spoil all the surprises! haha... We know it's not the most relaxing or least risky of choices, but it was literally my only non-negotiable of the cruise. I've been wanting to do a canopy adventure for ages, and I never had enough time off at port to do it while I was working for DCL. It's my turn for a piece of the action!!!

Hello Sam and Joan

We are thinking about renting a car. Of course we are diving with Ocean Explorers. The beach bar of choice is Sunset Beach Bar. ( Same as where we live!) Best beach is Mullet Bay. Orient Beach is the best beach for naked people. Best restaurant is Lee's Roadside Grill or Pineapple Petes. Going to try to do them all. You guys in for any? Mr. Busby's is also a great Beach bar. I'm running out of time that day. I am ready to go.

St. Thomas --diving with the St. Thomas Dive Club. Then who knows Never been to St. Thomas. Got any must dos

Sounds great!

We can count on you guys to come up with the best ideas and spend our money. We'll be in touch for details.

I can't wait to hear about it. Maybe 30 years ago I might have tried it. My kids did it in Jamaica and loved it. But I am a chicken these day!! Snorkeling and drinks of the day are as exciting as I want to get these days!!

Sounds like fun. Can you explain it a little? Thanks,

Took a look at the extreme flyzone thing, looks pretty sweet. DW said she wants to see the turtles. The only thing I have that is a 'must do' is Maho beach. I want to see that KLM 747 in real life!! Other than that, I'll just go with the flow.

Our last and only cruise (ever) was the 3 night on the Dream. Just seemed so rushed, like I missed a bunch. This time it will be my relaxation cruise.
