Paid In Full..now What?

[MontiD]

Ok, I'm finally paid in full for my land/cruise package for March 7-14, now what happends?? I made my ressies thru TA, but when should I receive my docs? Has anyone done the excursion in Nassau "Stingray/Blue Lagoon" adventure? Is the stingray part worth the time? I have 2 DS ages 13 & 15 who swear they will stay in the room b4 they dare take part in any teen activities on board!?!?! Is this NORMAL?? My boys usually arent so anti-social, but I realize they are a little gun-shy of meeting new people. Any suggestions on how I can encourage them to at least try hanging out in some of the teen areas? I want them to enjoy this trip since it's our first cruise, but I don't want to make them miserable before we even get on board thinking that they HAVE to do the "teen" thing. I'm not above bribery to get them to at least check it out LOL.

Has anyone used a debit card for registration upon arrival? Since all ship board charges/excursions are charged to the room, what amount do they authorize on the card? Since we will be at DW before cruising, I need to make sure I have enough left on my acct for the authorization.

I have been reading all the posts daily for the last few months, and I have to say that ya'll have such valueable information! I can't imagine going into DW without a plan! Thanks for adding all the great suggestions and experience!

I used a debit card for my shipboard expenses, and the only thing you need to be aware of is that they charge it after each $400...I was under the impression that it was at the end of the cruise. It worked out fine, but if you have bills coming out automatically, along with your paycheck going in, you may want to watch your dates and keep track of your charges. I will use the same card next cruise, because I can't stand the thought of paying for a vacation after I'm already home !!!!!!!
