If they are left with caregivers o the ship that will be responsible for the children, then I don't see any issue at all. Just like getting a sitter at home and going out to dinner. Enjoy your excursion!

CB - you lutreally made me lol! Suite traveler - thank you for the shiney metal info, one of my suits definitely had that. Donaldsc - great suggestion, ty

We booked in August, I've done everything myself! I'm so thankful for finding Cruise Critic, everyone has been beyond helpful. Thank you for all the great suggestions. I have pages of notes!

Thank you! I've never snorkeled and I enjoy trying new things. I also love to travel, this is first cruise. I am really hoping to get hooked

I would like to snorkel, my husband has no interest. We will be in Nassau, St. Thomas and St. Maarten leaving FLL o March 26th. Will the water be warm enough to snorkel? Can I just go to a beach and do this on my own? And, if so, I plan on buying a snorkel set as I am worried about how the rentals are cleaned - is it worth it to buy and pack? I guess that also depends on the first 2 answers ;)

I will be watching your thread appretiatively! We leave in exactly 4 weeks, I'm so very excited!

I love the Beatles, so excited to hear this!

Also, I found that if I find a shoe I like to look it up on amazon - free shipping, free returns, I found a couple of pairs that way of other color/styles for the cruise.

Thank you all so very much! I found a pair at Easy Spirit of all places . . . Now they just have to gain my daughter's approval! Not a shoe type I'm used to wearing, but I think it might work

Don't eat a snowcone . . . Made that mistake 20 years ago

Oh my goodness 44!! I can't hardly stand myself!:)

Newbie here, I've been following, reading and learning since booking in August and have learned so much.

We are booked on Allure at the end of March for our 30th anniversary. We didn't have a fancy wedding and this is kind of a YAHOO for us!

The photography package offered - is it worth it, do they edit photos to make them special, it almost looked like there may be photo shoots.

Just trying to figure out if the expense is worth it. I really want some special pictures. TYIA :)

Thank you so much Scrapnana - Shoebuy is wonderful!

I have tried Zappos which has the same styles as Davids bridal - the wides are almost ok - but my feet sw ell in the evening and they've I'll be too tight. Didn't find a thong at DSW or off broadway. I haven't heard of Shoebuy, so I'll check that out! Thank you!

I have found the perfect dress for our 30th anniversary. However, I'm having difficulty finding shoes because I have size 10w possibly ww. Looking for formal low wedge or low sandal. Any ideas? Thank you!

PghSunny - I made an appointment at the post office. It was my first passport and I did not get it expedited:)

I just saw a tv add for them last night $99, I don't remember for how many days. I didn't think it seemed legit.

We are from Cartersville, ga - first cruise this coming March!

So excited to be taking my first cruise in March on Allure! My husband and I will be celebrating our 30th anniversary. We were 17 and 18, just babies. Hopefully this leads to a very fun addiction :D

Just FYI, I applied for my passport on Dec. 15th. I received it in the mail today! Very surprised
