I've heard that everything 90s is back and that every 30ish years things make a comeback... I mean I'm not mad about it. lol

Yes we have seen the options for the zipline my BF and I are big adventure junkies (We went skydiving last year for his bday... his second time my first). We are stuck between doing the one on Labadee or the worlds steepest one in St. Maarten

Thanks Joe! Yes I'm excited. My BF and I aren't big "Beach" people so we may not spend a ton of time on Labadee... I will be getting a Labadoozie since I missed my drink in coco cay last year. I've never been to any of those ports so im pretty stoked. Thankfully being an Orlando resident I'm use to long busy days at the theme parks so hopefully they will compare!

Outside of packing is there any other things I should mentally prepare myself for in regards to enjoy the cruise.

haha I love my packing cubes! I also have packing folders for my BF's dress clothes and some of my dresses (they DEF helped us). The sweating is what will probably do me in. I'm the girl who has to order an Iced Coffee in the middle of winter (in the North) because otherwise I will be drenched in sweat haha. If you want the brands just let me know and I will see if I can dig them out from storage

Thank you! Yes, I used to travel a ton when I was a teen and had it down to a science but its been a while so i've lost my touch. Thankfully I believe that no woman needs more than 3 pairs of shoes on a cruise (flip flops, heels and sneakers). We will be checking bags for our very short flight just don't know if we are going with 1 or 2. lol Thank you for the advice!

Hello All, Since I started cruising Ive only been on 4 night cruises, with mostly recently a 3-night cruise (never again if possible). That being said, I am going on an 8-night cruise in October (over Halloween) and I am not sure how to prepare. I have never had to prepare for this long of a vacation. I have no idea where to start for thinking of cruising. The last cruise, I managed to bring too many workout clothes and not enough like "everyday" clothing for on board, thankfully they are somewhat interchangeable. I know we (BF and I) will be dressing up for Halloween and I know we will need bathing suits and clothes for dinner but im kinda stumped on how much to bring of everything else. Anyones suggestions will help immensely!

haha thanks for the advice! We are looking for mostly a place to grab an french lunch and try some of the local cuisine.

well that is good news. I will reach out there and see!!! Thanks for the tip...

Umm... I don't think this is a good sign...

Wow sad that the french side is still so devastated even after 2 years.

When did you try it?

Thanks ya'll. Any suggestions for the french bakery?

Hello Everyone, I am looking at trying to get some cheese while in St. Maarten... My mother brought some back a few years ago and man was it good. Also looking for a French Bakery to enjoy while we are there. Any suggestions?

I'm sorry, I don't understand

Yowza! We fly through MCI to get to visit my BFs family and normally its cheaper.

What airline do you fly to SJ? Im curious bc I know SW flies out of MCI i figured that would help with the cost (including the cost of luggage that is)

Has anyone had any success with using something like this? https://www.amazon.com/KINFAYV-Power-Strip-Ports-Outlets/dp/B07HTNBJ2C/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=usb+charging+hub&qid=1560795206&s=gateway&sr=8-6 I would love to be able to use just a charging hub but my camera requires the two prong outlets.

Me too, what sailing are you on?

YOWZA that map is insane enough to reconsider an Uber. lol

Thanks I will take that into consideration in October

Agreed: As a former employee at Universal Orlando. The wait times even WITH express pass can surpass an hour meaning you may struggle to get much done. I'm not sure if you are much of a space fan. Maybe look at an excursion for Kennedy Space Center since that is VERY close to the port.

I like the John Collins from the Schooner Bar I also like a White Gummy Bear (some do it as a shot, but I prefer the drink version); Raspberry Vodka, Peach schnapps, sweet and sour and lemon lime soda

Does anyone know what the extra charge for Ft. Lauderdale is? Will be flying in October

I feel like @twangster would have the answer to this...
