Cruising the Western Caribbean with a gazillion crazy family members

"Joc, you do have a pattern of traveling in large groups!" NO KIDDING. This will be the fourth time in seven months that I'm traveling in a group of 8 or more. I'm not the lead on this one, though. I...

Especially great, since we booked an upper balcony room. Okay, have any T'Goers been to Belize lately? Is the city worth touring? Any recs for walking tours or private guides? We'll be snorkeling...

First of all, why are you booking all separately? Check with a travel agent, maybe it's not too late to "release" your reservation to a travel agency, if some of you reserved with the cruise line, a...

What a great way to celebration the anniversary w/o much hassle. Too bad your SIL is being obstinate re a group discount cause the ship will throw in some freebies when you book a block of cabins. But...

I don't think she's being obstinate. The Carnival website had an "Early Saver" fare that she didn't see on the Cruise One website, so logic told her to book direct. She called Carnival, told them the...

That Costa Maya website looks great! I was a whole lot less cruise savvy when we visited there (unless I am confusing it with another port) some years back, before the big hurricane. At that time, we...

We're in the process of booking all of our shore excursions. I'll post details once everything's set. Okay, so far I am NOT impressed with Carnival. TWICE now they have had a rep call us, to "follow...

Okay, I think we've got it figured out. Here's the itinerary. The numbers keep changing; there are now 18 of us, and for the most part, we'll be doing the shore excursions all together. My SIL and...

Sounds like a great trip. That is how we do cruises as well. Hmmmmm, I just returned from a 26 night cruise, and I don't think our butts hit a deck chair even once.

Here we are! Leaving tomorrow for FL and departing Port Canaveral on Saturday. I'm nervously watching Hurricane Paula. I hope she doesn't cause us too much trouble. Packing the Sea Bands and Bonine.
