Skinsfan1311 Posted April 12, 2005 #1 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Hi Everyone! I've lurked on these boards for years, and have enjoyed, and taken advantage of, your many informative, and sometimes entertaining, posts. I got great suggestions and ton's of money-saving tips. (My wallet thanks you too!) We're sailing on the Miracle, this June. "We" is my wife, Fran, and 15 yr old son, Eric. Fran & I have been on 3 cruises. These past couple of years, we eschewed cruising, for land-based vacations, mainly int the Caribbean. Though I haven't cruised, lately, I'm always visiting, and revisiting the CC web-page. We've cruised on Carnival, RCI & Celebrity, and we've loved 'em all! Eric has never been on a cruise, nor has he seen those gorgeous Caribbean waters, so...we decided to take him on his first cruise. We chose a port-intensive itinerary,on the Miracle, (Cozumel, Costa Maya, Belize, Cayman), so that he can experience a taste of the underwater world. He loves to swim and I think that he'll be blown away, the first time he dons a mask and snorkel, and get's his first glimpse of the underwater world. (I know I was!) Thanks!

lrizit Posted April 12, 2005 #3 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Hello from a fellow Marylander! I'll bet it'll be amazing to see the look on your son's face the first time he experiences all of the new things! I hope you have a great trip, even if you are a Skins fan!! :D Good times!

basketballmom Posted April 13, 2005 #10 Share Posted April 13, 2005 We took DD on her first cruise last year. Once we got her snorkeling, she couldn't get enough! Your DS will probably feel the same way. Welcome to the boards:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halos Posted April 13, 2005 #11 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Welcome to our addiction!! :D You will love the Miracle!! She's a Gutsy, and ( :eek: ) Gaudy Girl...and when you get through with your cruise and go back to the real world, it will seem very dull in comparison. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MICHSUNLOVER Posted April 13, 2005 #12 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Welcome Rick....be prepared to spend hours on this crazy board. your son will have a great time on the cruise. just took our 13/15 y/o boys on the conquest. they loved it and they loved their first time snorkeling. just make sure you use a life jacket, makes it sooooo much easier. I don't get those people that don't use a life jacket....way too much work trying to swim and look :eek: have a great cruise and happy lurking :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
