Planning DCL Excursions

3/15/2024

So we are official PAID IN FULL as of TODAY!!  Wooo Hoooo!!
​I can now solidify my excursions choices for each destination.
Picture
Our first stop in Antigua will be our 2nd time visiting this beautiful island. We loved our Wadadli Cats snorkel excursion so much on our last cruise, that we are going to book that again for this one.  It is a snorkeling tour then a bit of time on a remote beach with snacks and rum punch. A lot of fun and just a great experience. This will be through DCL, if available at our time of booking, which opens later this month.

In St. Lucia, I found a service outside of DCL to book an excursion for the day. The company is called Kendall's Taxi Service and was recommended by fellow travel agents. He gets great reviews and has set up a personal private tour of the island for just my family.  Booked and confirmed.
Our tour includes:
  • Marigot Bay
  • Chocolate Factory Tour
  • Toraille Waterfalls
  • Pitonn Warm Springs
  • Tet Paul Nature Trail
  • Drinks/Lunch/Round trip to/from port

He will pick us up at the port and return us in plenty of time for departure.  

Oh Dominica- you've been a tricky bugger.
There seems to be only 1 whale watching excursion through DCL to book upon our booking  date and of course THAT is all I wanted to do in Dominica.  Our  cruise is basically full, so likely won't be available by the time we are able to book, so I looked on Tripadvisor.  
I looked a couple weeks ago and for some reason on the day that we will be in Dominica, it was unavailable.  No idea why.
BUT GOOD NEWS - today I was able to reserve Waitukubuli Dolphin & Whale Watch in Dominica. It starts at 9AM and it was reserve now, pay later with 100% refund up until 2 days before the excursion. I'm so excited.

I have not worked out Tortola yet, but likely just a beach day and no idea what we are doing, if anything at either Castaway Cay or Lookout Cay.

That is all for now--

Return to Cruising

First post of 2024 and it's all about cruising.  As I mentioned in a previous post, we will FINALLY return to cruising in 2024 on a 10-night Disney Cruise on our beloved, Fantasy.  Our pay in full date is fast approaching, which means our booking of excursions and onboard activities is also coming VERY soon.   Very excited about that. 

What I haven't shared is that we are stepping out of our DCL comfort zone and have booked a Mediterranean cruise for  2025. Seriously a bucket list item and hopefully the springboard for future Italian adventures, hopefully including land tours.

I went a little bougie and booked a Haven Aft Penthouse Suite with a master bedroom and large balcony on the Norwegian Breakaway. The Haven is Norwegian Cruise Line's concierge level rooms.

 We are still too far out to make any hardcore plans for this cruise, but I have begun my in depth research. Rick Steves Italy book was my first purchase, and I have also purchased Rick Steves Cruising the Mediterranean.  I hope to even learn a little conversational Italian before we set sail.

Rest assured, I will deep dive into my research hardcore once the DCL is behind us. As of now, I am working out our excursion plans and will post separately once the booking window opens. I will review that process post-covid and compare it to previous experiences.

Stay tuned!!
