Is it ok to take your own floatie mats? Like the ones from the dollar store you blow up yourself and can lay around in the water on?

Sure

AND, can you walk around yourself with out paying for the guided tour as long as you stay on the beaten path?

Absolutely!

You'll have a great time! It's 42 degrees in Ft Lauderdale today. I can only hope it'll warm up before my cruise on 2/6!

Do they parasailing? Do they have 2 people parasailing and how much? Would it be better to it at HMC or the Bahamas? Thanks.

I checked the Holland America Line website, and parasailing is $69. It says that Wind conditions dictate whether guests parasail in pairs or as singles.

Is that price in addition to the $225 for the cabana?

Yes, it is...

Is the Butler service for the cabana's worth it?

It was worth it for us - we got the Violet Cabana (the last one...on the quiet end of the beach). Our butler was an awesome young lady from Holland and she hung out on the side of the cabana waiting for us to ask her for something. I have reserved the Violet cabana for our cruise in February 2010 and I'll be adding the butler service again, for sure. :cool:

It's only money...
