What a great thread! I second Matt's question about the leaves? I won't be there until October 20th and I'm a little worried that we'll be well past peak by then.

Specific question: I am looking for a place in Saint John for a good mother/daughter massage. I came across a place called "Inn on the Cove & Spa." http://www.innonthecove.com/spa_promotions.html

Acey, do you know anything about this place? It actually looks like they're extremely close to the Irving Nature Park as well. So I was thining, we could take a taxi to the Inn/Spa, get massages, and then head on over to the nature park? Just wondering if you have any toughts about that plan. I see your original post did mention Irving, and that it would be approx. $12 each way to get there via taxi, so that was good information.

Thanks much! :)

I've decided I'm not going to push to teach a Zumba class on my October cruise on the Jewel. My regular Tues/Thurs class here at home wasn't too thrilled about the idea of just cancelling class that week, so I've found a sub...but the sub is going to need my radio and iPod, etc. So I think I'm going to just let it go. If something falls into place easily while on board, of course I'll gladly teach a few songs. But I guess it *is* vacation, so I'm not going to stress about whether or not it happens. I'll be on the cruise with my mom, so we'll just take some walks up on the jogging track to get some exercise in. :)

I'm sooo jealous! I wish I was on your sailing...I would LOVE to team up with you for zumba class...I hope you give it a shot & let them see how popular it may or may not be..personally, I think you'll have a FULL class :D

Thanks!! :) All I would need is some open floor space, and something to plug my iPod into since I won't be able to bring my usual sound system. Hopefully they can work with me on it, even if it's just one day later on in the cruise so that there is enough time to spread the word for interest first.

I am a licensed Zumba Instructor and I emailed Royal Caribbean to ask if Zumba classes are offered.... I will be on Jewel of the Seas embarking from Boston on October 15th. They responded that I would need to check my cruise compass once on board to see what fitness classes will be offered, and that I could go to the "customer service" (I know that's probably not the correct term) desk to let them know I'd be interesting/willing to teach a class during the cruise. So I will bring my iPod just in case so that I'm ready! :)
