spending $$ for family of 4 4 night Wonder

[BeckyB.]

Hi I was just wondering if anyone can shead some light on how much more $$ we would need for the 4 night for these extra's. My hubbie and I will probubly do the sur-real bath, maybe a excursion.For sure a excursion for our son 12 with the common grounds program nothing more than (50.00) for him. Were not big drinkers (pop or alcohol) maybe one a day after all were on vacation. I'de love to order room service for breakfast at least 2 a.m.'s to enjoy on our varandah maybe t-shirts for all 4 of us.. That's about it. After all we'll just be coming off 3 days at Disney and staying at Poly. Were going on Wonder next 3/2003. Also what the heck are sea lice??? My skin is very sensative to everything just my luck and I'de be the one that ends up with them. Should we do tanning in beds in a local salon before heading to Florida?? We all tan pretty easy?? Thanks, Becky

We have our 4th cruise booked for 11/2003, this time with our 2 girls 6 and 8, can't wait!!!
Sea Lice, from reading on these boards appear to be a very very small sea creature that likes to sting. We have been to the caribbean 5 times, Bahama's twice and have never had a problem with these things.
Drink prices from last cruise.....we are not big drinkers either, but did enjoy a frozen drink each night, like you said...we're on vacation
frozen drinks ran $5.95 per drink soda was 1.50 (soda is free on disney with the meals)
Room Service is free anytime, 24hrs
Sur-real Bath is about 69.00 per couple (this sounds interesting, think hubby and I may have to try this out too)
Our last cruise we both splurged and did the full body massage and facial, 159.00 per person...yes a big splurge, but it was truly a wonderful 1 1/2 hour experience!!!
T-shirts on the past ships were normally priced 18.00 - 25.00 depending on what you wanted. Kids shirts a little cheaper.
Tanning...On our first cruise we went in June (honeymoon) so I did tan- mainly for the wedding though. I have not tanned for the last 2 cruises, I am pretty fair and do like to burn, we take along the
spf 30 sunscreen and I've never had a problem. Tip....make sure to put sun screen on the top of your feet if wearing sandels....hubby burned them sight seeing on our first trip...he learned the hard way! Enjoy your trip...

Hubby and I went on a 7-day Magic cruise last January and we had about $700 on our KTTW card after our cruise was over. We did an excursion on each island. I think the Atlantis Submarine at St. Thomas was $75.00 each, but I can't remember for sure how much the excursion on St. Martin was. We did the "Under Two Flags" tour and seems like it was $29.00 each, but I'm not positive on that. I did buy quite a few souvenirs on the ship, including a model of the ship, large photo album, a couple shirts, Christmas ornament, etc. and hubby bought a couple ESPN shirts too. We did not do anything at the spa, so no money was spent there. Yes, room service is included in the price of the cruise, but tips aren't. We brought several $2 bills from home to tip the person who brought our food. We enjoyed room service several times, especially in the morning to bring coffee, croissants and muffins to enjoy out on our verandah. We did enjoy several of the frozen drinks and "drinks of the day" too, especially the conch coolers.....yum!! We'll probably spend about the same amount on our 1/18/03 Magic cruise. I'm making sure we have one credit card with a "zero balance" before we step foot on board the ship just for that purpose!
