sept. 13-20,2003 cruise

[ragdoll]

Adult kids decided not to go. Just me and DH now. Are we getting excited? You bet!

 

[Marymom]

We will be there!

David and Mary and four children. DS10, Dd7, Dd5 and Ds3. My brother and his family will be there also. My oldest brother just tried to get ressies and was told the ship was sold out. I'm hoping that there will be openings now that the final payment had to be sent in so he can come too.

 

[Mr. Ed]

Hi Everyone!

We are also booked for the September 13 Western. DH, DW, DD6 and DD3.

 

[BrianS]

Hi everyone!

This will be our third cruise (DH, DW, and DD13). This time we are going with my brother's family (DH, DW, DS12, DD10) and my sister's family (DW, DH, and DS7). Yep, ten of us. My brother and I, plus families, are doing the Back to Nature Kayak Trip at Key West. Everyone is going to Stingray City with Captain Marvins in the morning, plus my brother is taking all of the kids on the Atlantis submarine in the afternoon. For Cozumel, we were going to take the dune buggy tour, then changed to the jeep tour, then changed to Xcaret. We all finally decided to go to .... Chankanaab! LOL We'll get taxi's and save some money instead of paying Disney; same thing for the submarine, it's cheaper to book it yourself. Later...

Are you going on the 9 to 3 tour with Capt Marvin or the half day tour ? We are doing the full day tour that day. Figured going to Mr Sanchos in Cozumel might be more relaxing and less crowded seems we are in port on a busy day.

 

[BrianS]

We're doing the short tour at 8:30 - 10:30 in the morning. Had to leave time for the submarine trip in the afternoon.

 

[kbyers]

We are letting the cruise be our excursion. The only one we will be doing is the submarine in cozumel. Otherwise, we will be on our own. We can't wait.

[Y2KMOM]

We are going also! I am going with my MIL, FIL, SIL, BIL, DH, DD(3),and DS(10 mo.). I can not wait!!!!!!!!!! This is my Dh and my 2nd cruise. We went to Alaska on Holland America for our honeymoon. I hope to be celebrating my Masters degree (just waiting for my comps grade).

 

[3Dbunch]

Anyone doing the Radission the nite before ? Going to Vero Beach Disney for 2 days then the Radission. I hate rushing and like to get on the ship early and get settled.

 

[grlzmom]

Count me in for this cruise too

Dh and I (kiddos are staying home with grandparents). Dh just surprised me with this as our tenth anniversary celebration. Certainly wasnt expecting it.

Did the eastern last May and have booked the western with all our kiddos for June 5th.

Really looking forward to this. We have second seating which is new for me since we are used to dining early with all our youngins. Oooh, just realizing that this time we can eat at Palos.

Excited beyond belief.

[Mr. Ed]

We will be at Kennedy Space Center and the Radisson the day before the cruise. We are also celebrating our 10th anniversary as well, but we are bringing our kids. Thought about the vow renewal package, but changed our minds.

 

[aaj0917]

We are going to stay at the Hotel Royal Plaza the day before. We took advantage of the $50 Mousesavers rate.

 

[kbyers]

We are planning to stay at the radisson also. What kind of rate did you get? Are you planning to park there also?

We are really getting a good crowd.
It will be here so soon.

We got a double king room with a whirlpool for $105 off of the Radission site. Just hoping the shuttle is not too crowded i may use the Avis one if it is.

 

[Mr. Ed]

We got the suite with whirlpool for about $112. We decided on the Radisson primarily due to the Avis convenience. I hear the Radisson shuttle reservation fills up quickly, so we may end up using the Avis shuttle instead.

 

[kbyers]

The cruise rate for the whirlpool is $129.00, does that guarantee a spot on the shuttle? Any one know?

 

[Mr. Ed]

I did not book the cruise parking package with Radisson directly. I booked through Orbitz.com. I am not leaving a car there for parking since I am renting from Avis, so I don't know whether the parking has anything to do with the difference in rates. From what they told me, the shuttles are based on first come, first served, and that the shuttle reservations are done as soon as you check in. Since I will not be checking in until early evening, they told me I can call earlier in the day to reserve my spot on the shuttle. We'll see.

 

[jlrose]

We are also on this cruise. Cat 3 room 8602, 8th deck on the stern. Wife and I are celabrating our 25th aniversary with my brother and his wife, they have room 8086.

Planning to rent a reef mobile in Key West to site see, in Grand Cayman we booked a private snorkling excursion with Capt Marvins, and a private excursion with eagle ray divers in Cozumel.

[3Dbunch]

Yes it is first come first server on shuttle times but i did not know you could call thanks for the info. We are in 8036 are you doing the full day trip in the Cayamans ? We have the full day resereved just trying to get a feel if its too long or we might be missing somthing else on the island ?

 

[grlzmom]

We still are undecided where to room night before as we are arriving in rather late. Dont know whether to just stay somewhere near the airport or drive in late evening.

Mr Ed, if renting at Avis, would it be easier to take their shuttle? Someone told me they run continuously and not a big wait (dont know if this is true or not).


Really getting excited
