Hi Lars
I haven't started reading Twilight yet, but I've been referencing my Caribbean book quite a bit!
I added My Time Dining this afternoon and had to wait for them to update my reservation before I could go in and book the Kayak tour. So those 2 things are done now
This may be redundant since I've mentioned it on the AOS roll call, but we already booked the Harley tour for Aruba; that's the only thing I'm planning to do there now with the Ruby cruise coming up fast after Adventure. We're set for Curacao (kayaking) and Mike is okay with taking the chance for the private whale watching excursion since if we had to cancel we'd only be out $20. I don't want to be out anything, but they limit the passengers to 12 on their boat so it will be much less crowded than the cruise line's operator. Mike really hates crowds!
The only port we haven't narrowed down is St. Thomas. The logistics of getting to Coral World for the Sea Lion Swim may be more than Mike wants to deal with...ya know those "crowd" issues come into play
So I'm leaning more towards going to St. John.
Also, on Ruby I'll be going to St. Thomas and Princess offers a ship sponsored Swim with Sea Lions excursion for their current excursions (our sailing dates aren't listed yet on their website) so I'm thinking if I really want to do that, I could do that then and the transportation to Coral World would be provided
So really I just need to narrow down St. Thomas/St. John for AOS.
I think we'll end up doing a post-cruise tour from the ship with airport drop off in San Juan also either to del Morro or San Cristobal, but I'll probably wait until we're onboard the ship to book that.
I'm not going to pre-book the specialty restaurants. Since we've got access to the Concierge I could make a res through them, plus we have $150 OBC, although with Mike being on the cruise with me, we'll probably have that spent by day 2!
Unfortunately there have been no price changes since my promotion thing, but I keep watching every day!
Don't worry, if one happens I'll be aware of it
No price drops on the Princess cruises I've been watching either.....
