I researched and researched and finally made our picks for what to do for our port stops.
Grand Cayman - Hated to do it but I booked the Catamaran & Snorkel the Kittiwake excursion thru the cruise line. Hate booking stuff with the cruise line. Ugh! But, I couldn't find anyone who really did the Kittiwake outside the cruise line for a reasonable cost and I didn't want to pay the premium to book a charter for just the 2 of us. Tracey wants to snorkel a shipwreck. We're going to!
Costa Maya - Nothing! Even though I was sick the last time we did this itinerary we thought stacking 3 port days all in a row wasn't the most fun. By the time they're over with you're worn out. So, no plans. We want to relax and roll on the fly. If we feel like doing something we will. If not, no commitments!
Cozumel - Booked the Manatee Experience with the Dolphin Discovery folks that operate out of Chankanaab. I fudged and told them I was staying at a local hotel when I booked. Didn't want any conflicts if I told them I was cruising with Disney...even though Disney doesn't offer the manatee thing (to my knowledge). I want to see manatees!
Castaway Cay - I'm hoping they'll have the paddleboards at the kayak rental place. I've heard a few murmers about them having a few if you go ask. I want to standup paddleboard again. Still on the fence about booking the walking & kayak tour thing. If we could skip the long walk I'd be in already. The description says 45 minute walk. I'm laaaaaaazyyyyyyyy. LOL!
And, I booked Tracey 60 minutes of golf simulator time on the 1st at-sea day. He thinks I'll hit some balls while he's there. Most likely not. It's not my thing. I get more out of watching him play. I'll play it off when we get there. He wouldn't have let me book it if he thought he would be the only one playing. I'll switch gears when we get there and it's too late to back out. I know he wants to do it, though. Just gotta trick him into not refusing because it's not my thing.
I wish I could get a Couples Choice thing at the spa a bit later on formal night, like starting at 7 or so. I think the spa is the perfect place to be anti-formal! Eh, we may just enjoy the pool or hot tub in the adults area during that time. Gonna be sooooo niiiiiiiice....
