Stingray Sailing Excursion

Here is the link to explain the Stingray Sailing excursion in Grand Cayman that I mentioned when we all got together a week or so ago :

I would like to know who is interested in this.  John and I are strongly considering booking this for him and I and our two kids.  We would love if others join us.  However, if you are not interested and want to do something else, that is fine.  Let us know what you are planning and we may join you all instead.

Please review this weekend and let us know by Wednesday of this week if you want to do this with us.

Have a good weekend

That Gleitz family! What a bunch of cards!

Hey everyone!  The Gleitz family loves their favorite card game, Euchre.  While vacationing they often travel with a pack of a cards.  My personal opinion is that playing cards is great but playing cards while relaxing on a cruise ship...  PRICELESS!  Haha!

Anyway...  If you would like, bring a deck of cards or a small dice game (like CLR or UNO cards or whatever else you like to play) and we can all learn a knew game and teach each other!  There are plenty of places to chill out and take a break to play a game if you want to do that.  And with a group as large as ours I am sure you can find some people to play the game too!

Bye for now!

Dine time updated !!!

Hey everyone!  Looks like we were able to get into late seating for dinner!  You all should have gotten an email saying so.  I did get some emails sent to me for Jordan/Nic, Ma/GaGa, Carol/Amanda.  I can forward those to you if you all did not get an email confirmation.  For everyone else, I am assuming you got your emails sent to you directly.

I am thrilled that we are not locked in to early seating!!  Yippee!

Feeling Beachy this morning

Good morning everyone!  Thought I would start off your morning with a little more cruise info.  In an earlier post I outlined beach choices in Grand Cayman in case you were looking to do the lounge-on-the-beach thing.  Well, I came across this website the other day for Cozumel as well.

John and I had discussed going to Chankannab (the national park) and enjoying some time there.  If we do that, I am thinking we might be best to rent a car or take a taxi when we get in port rather than booking through the ship but that is just my opinion.  I just do not like being tied down by ship return times and so on and I do not like the additional $$ that they usually tack on to the price.

Enjoy the reading.  And let me know what your plans are!  Enquiring minds want to know!

Dining time update

Good evening everyone.  I have talked to almost all of you and got a consensus to change the dining time to late dining.  So I called the travel agent and she is checking into that with Royal Caribbean.  I will let you all know if/when she is able to change that for us.

Good night everyone!

A few updates...

Good afternoon cruisers!  I have a few updates for all of you!

First...  I called today to pay the tips for our family.  I tried calling the Royal Caribbean number from the email I received.  I had also shared that number with all of you.  When I called they said we must do this through our travel agent.  So if you plan to pay your tips at the current rate then call our travel agent at 877-442-5659.  Have your reservation number handy.  Remember that the tip rate increases on 6/1 so please call before then to get the reduced rate is that is what you want to do.

Also, while I was speaking with the travel agent I asked about switching to My Time Dining like I discussed this weekend.  Well....  Apparently it is a popular choice now and it is fully booked so the Gleitz family's rooms are wait-listed for it.  Not sure what will happen at this point .  However, late seating is still available and it is not as late as I thought.  Late seating is at 8 (not 8:30 like I mentioned previously).  So I was curious...  How do you all feel?  Are you planning to stay with early seating or try for My time dining (not guaranteed at this point) or switch to late seating?  Thoughts?)

Be here Or be square !

Let's party this Saturday May 16th at our house .  I say we start around 6:30 Pm.  That way everyone has their morning and early afternoon to use as they please.  I think a few people will not be there due to being out of town (my aunt) or work (Quentin and Brittany) but it is hard to find a time when everyone is available.

John and I will have brats, hamburgers and hot dogs for the grill.  If you prefer something else, bring it and you can throw it on the grill and cook it up!  For those of you wanting to bring something I find it easier to assign things so here goes :

Ma and Gaga - potato salad
Charles and Nancy - pasta salad?
Schmelz family - Oreo delight
McHolan family - baked beans?
Jordan and Nic - chips or soft drinks?

Let me know if you would rather bring something else.  Did I leave anyone off the list above?
