We were on the Sky and had a wonderful vacation! I would cruise the Sky again without hesitation! Don't listen to that woman! Have fun! I'm sure you will!

We came home and were able to say it was a perfect vacation. We loved every minute of it! We traveled in January. We miss it and would take the exact vacation again in a heartbeat!

I had my ring, hoops earrings, and probably a necklace on for all slides except the bottom drop out one. Fun times :)

We never had much of a wait at all on the Getaway. I bet my children went down 100 times a day on the slides.

Waiting in line was not ever an issue the entire cruise.

We were on the Sky a year ago..... It was not a booze cruise at all. There was a lot more partying happening on the Getaway.

The Sky seemed to have comedians most nights. Your children can enjoy some of the silly game show style shows. There will also be plenty of live music to listen to.

We really enjoyed the Sky! Have fun!

We used it on the Getaway. I thought it was great! I would use it again. We never had any problems.

No Diet Dew..... Big bummer! Can't answer the rest.

I think we had to meet around 8:45 - 9:00 am for Bernard's.

Our driver was fun and full of great information. He made sure everyone was having a good time. There is also a cooler with water, soda, beer, and rum punch - for no additional cost.

We took a tour with Bernard's Tours. It was perfect for us! With this tour you will visit Orient Beach and Maho. Our guide stopped off at a couple other spots. It was a great day and very nice having a driver waiting. Highly recommend Bernard's. Google the name and you'll find his website.

I had fried calamari as an appetizer 2 weeks ago on the Getaway. It was great!

We were on the Sky a year ago. My husband and I loved it! We had a great vacation. We enjoyed listening to the live bands in the evenings. There was never a problem finding a lounge chair in a good location on the pool deck. Food was good. We really loved the Sky and would absolutely sail again.

GSC was nice. We laid in a chair for awhile to get some sun. We also had the UBP and spent some time sitting at the bar area and talked with other cruisers. That's about all we did at GSC. It was a great day!

Our ride was $8 per person.... We are a family of 4. $64 round trip + tip to go to Magen's. The beach also charges something like $5 per adult.

I was there a week ago and we had a wonderful time swimming. No signs of jelly fish. The water was full of swimmers and people relaxing on floating mats.

Wanted to add..... It is a fun ride to the beach. Our taxi driver told some history and would pull over at just the right spots for people to take pictures. Most of the taxis are open-air trucks with benches and seating for 15 - 20.

We went to Magen's Bay last week on our day in St Thomas. It was an $8 per person taxi ride each way. So, for our family it was $64 round trip. It is a couple dollars to get in to the beach as well. There are lounge chairs to rent, snorkel gear, floating mats, food and drinks. It was very calm waters while we were there. My 7 year old twins had a great time playing in the water! It was quite crowded the day we were there..... People everywhere!

So happy I asked this question! Thanks for all the replies.

Would you suggest I make the reservation now rather than once we board?

Oh! I guess I figured the kids got to eat hibachi food from a kids menu.... I don't know my stuff :)

No way do I want to go there and have them eating chicken tenders or something.

Thanks for clarifying that!

Thank you. My twins are 6 and will definitely be eating off the kids menu.

I would like to go ahead and make reservations for Teppanyaki. It says per child pricing will be done on ship. So, can I make our reservations before boarding? If I choose 4 for dinner.... it charges me adult prices.

Do I just need to wait until we board? I was simply hoping to get an early dinner time.

No, not thinking that..... Not thinking he was a threat. Just curious!

I definitely understand that! I wouldn't get off the ship without my husband either.

We cruised Disney Dream when our twins were 4 and loved it. It's just so much more expensive. We are taking the family on the Getaway in about 2 weeks.

Do you believe your husband was sick before boarding and didn't know it? Was it his asthma?

Sorry that you had sick family members during your vacation. That's a bummer.

Were you able to explore at any of

the ports?

Do children enjoy Burn the Floor and Illusionarium? We are cruising with our 7 year old twins. Do many children go to these shows?

Thanks!
