Sue,
Actually we'll be doing the Eastern again. Gary's Birthday is the 6th, which means we're going East again. Gary's parents are both disabled and we've heard tendering (especially with 2 disablesd bodies) is pretty tricky. I've heard there is a dolphin/stingray swim on th Eastern, but haven't looked into it much. MIL has MS. We probably won't see too much of her on deck. She dehydrates very easily, and doesn't tolerate heat well. (that's why they live in Florida ) I expect this will be the cruuise we do all the things there are to do on the boat.
Still would LIKE to get to St. John. I heard it was tricky on the 1/25 with the tendering, etc. We'll see. Hate to leave MIL and FIL while we go off, but maybe we'll all need a break by then.
I do like excursions! It was very nice though, just being with DH, alone, even for 45 mins at a time. (Kids always wondering if we needed them for anything.) They were also a bit disappointed that we didn't do excursions this time. Were leaving it open for Sept. Probably try to get to St. John on our own, so no need to book it with DCL, and if it works out great. If not, there will be other times. (I've heard SJ is so beautiful, maybe well just do a land vacation there.)
Talk to you later!
Tracy
