Loved the crew. Everyone was friendly and provided great service. The food was really good in MDR and Guys, Blue Iguana. The variety of entertainment was great too.

Thanks for all the suggestions! I really appreciate them. We are really excited about taking them. It wasn't long ago that I was going through aggressive cancer treatments. They were old enough to understand what was going on and it was hard seeing them worry. So this cruise is a celebration. And it's been fun planning a cruise with kids. It's going to be very different than our quiet days on the Serenity deck

Yes there are IDs available on the state level but I would NEVER let kids that young off the ship without me.

I agree! We plan on being with them on the ship and off. We're taking them because we want to spend time with them. Alone in a strange country would be way beyond my comfort level for them.

Children under 16 do not need ID's when returning to the port especially if they are with you.

Thanks!

We will be taking our grandchildren 11 and 13 on a cruise for the first time. We made sure to have their parents get them Passports and we have notarized permission forms from their parents. But how about photo IDs for ports? We usually leave our Passports in our safe and just take our drivers licenses and SS cards. We're mostly doing beaches so I don't want to take the Passports. We will be going ashore in Grand Cayman, Cozumel, Roantan and Belize. Thanks!

We toured with Thenford Grey last week and couldn't have been more pleased. We did see another tour bus that had open windows. Since, we did have some brief showers it was nice to be inside the air conditioned bus. We've been on many tours, on many islands and I don't think we've ever had such a nice bus on a private tour. But the highlight of the tour is Thenford himself. He's so articulate and a really nice person. As in the previous post, he was so informative. If you want a really good tour, in a really nice bus by a real gentleman--pick Thenford.

For very casual dining, head to Beach Place, about 4 blocks south on A1A. Lulu's has good food. The CVS is there too. There are a few restaurants past there in that area but I only would recommend H2O.

Thanks royalcruz! You're information is so helpful in planning our trip!!

Hi,

We're staying precruise at the Westin Beach Resort, FL. We got a great deal on it on PL. We'll be arriving early evening. Is there a place nearby to walk to for dinner? How about breakfast? I know the hotel has places to eat but we'd prefer something more casual. I did see in a previous post that there is a CVS nearby. Any directions would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Can you get to the Bonnet House museum and gardens from the water taxi or trolley?
