Not one I can buy though...LOL. I went for a short 4 day cruise to see if the family liked it. Now we may go on a longer one next year. Finally back home today. I actually missed this place. Got a lot of catching up to do. I will try to catch up while im working tonight.

that sounds like a great trip
where did you leave from??

I have a 4 and 2 year old.
But I think it will be hard to keep them under surveillance....

3 day is to short more than 5 will seems to long and gets $$...

I got a 9 month old baby. Made it kind of challenging, but we had a blast. With my work schedule I miss seeing her at home a lot, so it was nice to get to spend 5 whole days with the family.

We flew into Fort Lauderdale and drove down to Miami and spent a day before leaving for the cruise there Fri morning. First the ship went to Royal Caribbean's private island then to Nassau and back to Miami. For a first time cruise I think 4 days was about right. I was ready to go home by the end.

We just wanted to see if we would like it. I usually like to do my own thing and didnt think I would like to be stuck on a boat. We have gone to many places and gone to some all inclusives in the caribbean. I think I really prefer the all inclusive's, but we are gonna try a 7 day cruise next year when my daughter will be almost 2. If I dont like it, then it will more than likely be the last cruise we do.

wow,
you should of posted something in the regionals you were comming down..

I feel for your pain. The baby, wife and you inside the cabins :boxing_smiley:

Did he/she slept through the flight??? Want to do a Xmas vaction but hesitant b/c flying w/them..

the two places you went really didn't need tours.
Longer curises unless you want to stay on the boat its safer to go through them but it's a cattle ring.
Be here by x then 2 hr drive to destination for few hours. Then everybody back to bus off to another place for 1 hr then back on bus back to ship.
That is not relaxing. Sitting on a lounge chair w/an umbrella drink in the hand sounds better.
Sanibel is a nice place for next vacation if you liked FL :hurray:

Yeah I was scared of flying with a baby. she did awesome though. We had layovers going both ways. So she was on 4 flights and didnt cry on any of them. She really was a good baby the whole trip so i cant complain.

I was gonna post on here but go so busy the last few days before we left i didnt have time. We love Florida and have been all over the state. I am sure we will be down next year. If there is enough notice I wanna try to come down to the meet and greet next year.
