Hey all… I don’t want to bore you with every single thing but I’ll share some fun stuff we did!

<b><u>Day One</u></b>
Arrived at the boat about 12:30 after stopping for beer and "stuff".... spent the first day swimming unpacking and relaxing.

<b><u>Day Two – Key West</u></b>
Most fun.... left the kids on board for some grown up fun. I don’t think Key West is that great for kids so we went bar hopping and sampling raw bar and local beer at various establishments...Schooners Wharf Bar is very festive a lot of locals... Got the kids though for the sunset party at Mallory Square you have to watch the guy with the cats that do tricks… he’s hysterical!

<b><u>Day Three – Day at Sea</u></b>
Spent the morning at the kiddy pool with the rug rats until they started getting wild then put them in the club and went to adult pool...read an entire book! Hercules that night was great!

<b><u>Day Four – Grand Cayman</u></b>
Went on Captain Marvin’s stingray tour. I thought I could handle it but when one of those scary slimy monsters came near me I ran for my life! The kids loved it and they are quite tame.

<b><u>Day Five – Cozumel</u></b>
We didn’t have a game plan so decided to rent a jeep and explore we did playa sol and loved it.... 6 bucks for each kid but we opted for the 25 dollar open bar bracelets for us...worth it we bought food separate...A lot of hammocks and fun stuff for the kids...

<b><u>Day Six – Sea Day</u></b>
During the day I did see Harry Potter though I loved it! You wont believe this though I saw a husband and wife change their baby’s poopy diaper right in the theater in front of me...unbelievable.

<b><u>Day Seven – Castaway Cay</u></b>
Its great not to have to plan anything just go off the boat and relax put the kids in the club at 4 so they could be in the show.... so cute you have to do that they are adorable!

So I hope that gives you guys some info that you may need for future cruises!

HEY DAVE......YOUR VACATION SOUNDS ALOT LIKE MINE!!!!!! ANDICOCO

 

[herrmfam24]

thanks for the quick report! sounds like you had fun!

andicoco,
If you don't mind, how old are your kids? We would love to rent a jeep on Cozumel, but DD 3 1/2 and DD 1 1/2 might be a bit young.
What about Captain Marins? What is the age limit there?

Thanks

Hey andicoco... And your vacation sounds like mine toooooooo!!!!! Hi Dis peepz... At work but my mind is still in the Carribean... I knew I'd find my sweetie andicoco here

Tinkerbell... I can speak on behalf of andicoco if she doesn't mind... her girl is 6 and my boys are 3 1/2 and 8 1/2... It is totally cool to ride the kiddies in the Jeep... Just be sure the seat belts aren't defective... Go to a reputable rental agency to get a decent ride... The Jeep we rode in was okay for the day but that was it... we rented from an independent agent... So it would be best to try Budget or Hertz for a rental... as for Capt Marvins, I think it would be okay to bring the little tykes... My 3 1/2 year old handled it well... It would be best though to opt for the 2 hour excursion rather than the 4 hour... It's more than enough as it can get pretty hot out there... You agree, andicoco???
