[livingis2me]

My 90 day wishlist: in no particular order... (ok I actually have an order in mind but I don't want to jinx anything)

Palo Dinner.
Palo Brunch.
BBB for my youngest daughter. (hopefully for formal night)
Early port check in time!!! (I hope there is still an 11 am left for me...)

That is about it. I'll be doing my own thing for excursions. (like the Random Wind sail excursion that I hope some of you may join us on.)

I also want to do some adult beverage tastings, but I'm pretty sure I have to wait until we are on-board to sign up for those.

How about you???? What is your list???

Just wondering if someone could help me.I'm trying to figuar out when to book palo or remy. I have requsted Royal court for my first night due to the fact that our first night is my birthday and would like to have my birthday dinner at ROYAL COURT. I've been reading what people think about Enchanted garden. There are some who really do not like it. I have to say that from the photos that i've seen i have some mixed feelings. So i'm going to try and get palo/Remy instead. I'm not that inpressed with the crush show what night is this because i'm thinking about skipping this. Mabey do room service or eat at the buffet. I hope i do not come off as being a snob.I'm also not a foodie i like what i like

Nope. You are not coming off as a snob. I'm not a fan so far of what I've seen of the Enchanted menu either. The crush show is your first night in AP and the Animation show is your last night in AP. It looks like your Enchanted night would be your night 3 and your "Crush" AP night would be night 2.

One thing i really want to do is the Palo/Remy dinner. As far as the randon wind sail i will have to let you know. I'm not sure how much i will have to spend. I will probably do the adlut beverage taseings. I know that i will get off the ship in port and walk around and take pictures. 94 days to go.

Well...

We decided this week that we want to try to get Palo Brunch. I hear that they might be easier to come by, since its a longer cruise and more sea days. Hope there are still some left when we get to book on Sunday!

Would love to get BBB for my daughters! What day/night do you think this would be best for? I know a lot of people do it on Formal night, but we are wearing previously worn wedding attire and hoping to get some good family pics in "real clothes" versus princess dresses. Maybe Semi-formal night?

We are doing our own thing on St. Maarten and Castaway. Looking to book the Kon Tiki cruise on St. Thomas if it's still available.

I *think* that's it...but it seems that our list gets longer as we approach booking time! LOL!

Palo Brunch is my favorite! It can be tough to get. Good luck!

I don't know if any one day for BBB would be better than he next. Semi-formal night seems like a good choice. We don't want to hold out that long because we plan on getting our girls braids pretty early on...

I so do not undestand united airlines. I just spent nearly fourty five minutes on the phone trying to complain about the changes i wanted to speak to a surpriver they put me on hold and then then i was cut off i called again and got the i'm sorry over and over again. They just don't sleem to understand that i'm not happy about the changes. Oh by the way they told me that there may be another change when is this going to stop. I so want to cancell and book with Alaska but it takes fourteen bussiness days for the refund to get back onto my gift card. I would book with alaska but right now i'm broke. My cat's new meds went up $15.00 the dog had her yearly exam and that was 34 dollars. My cat's old meds witch was doing a great job got taken off the market. My DBF's dad had some heath issures last week. Oh fantasy herei come i sooo need to get away

 

[Nikki'sMommy]

Looks like there are 29 appt. times still available ranging from 9am to 8:30pm, and I'm sure there are multiple bookings per time slot. Shouldn't be a problem, for you. Good Luck!!

I just wanted to say that I'm sorry about venting about united. Last week was one stress filled week. My DBF dad had some heath issures and spend four days in the hospital and then my cat" meds were taken off the market and the vet spend a coupple of days finding another medcation. He was able to find another but it was fifiteen more that the other. We decided to get the new meds. It took a coupple of day to get it. While wating for the meds i had to give the cat canned pumkin mix. It's a good thing that he's organge he spit of the pumkin out. It was pretty funny giving the pumkin to him, After all that then to find out that united changed the flight home. This is the fourth time and it's getting verry old.

Does anyone know for sure when Pirate Night, Princess Night and Captain's Gala Night are on our cruise. I've read everything from Pirate Night the 4th night, then Princess Night, then Captain's Gala and then Farewell night, but that puts all special nights at the end of our cruise. I've also read that Princess Night is the 2nd night, Pirate Night is the 4th Night, Captain's Gala the 6th night and then Farewell night the last night. In trying to figure out when to book the other restaurants, I'd like to know if I'd be missing a special night at our main dining?

Here's my current wish list for when I can start booking on June 24...

• CC Cabana on Family Beach
• Remy Dinner (hopefully Th)
• BBB for my 3YO little boy on Pirate Night

That said...
I confess I haven't done much research for excursions and would love to reach out to those who have been there... Have you done an excursion on St. Maarten or St. Thomas--with a child close in age to mine (3 1/2)--that you really enjoyed? Or, more to the point, that your child really enjoyed.
Please let me know--I would really appreciate it!

Good luck with your list!!

We had our 3 1/2 year old on our cruise last year. In St Thomas we did the pirate ship to Turtle Cove, but she was too young so she stayed in the club. In St Martin we went on an excursion on our own through Captain Alan's. It is a powerboat that takes you to a couple of snorkeling spots and a couple of beaches. She really enjoyed the beaches and the fun ride on the boat.

Yes I am doing it with her (my DH is scared of heights!). I was thinking about going after lunch around 1:30 because we are running the 5k.

Yep, my DH is doing it with Hannah because I'm scared of heights! Hannah has been wanting to do it for a long time but she hasn't been old enough. Now she is! She's very excited.

They are looking at doing an earlier time, though, if available. Their preferred times are 10am, 11am, and 3:30 pm. Hopefully they will be available!
