We got our t-shirts today. Very nice. Now I really can't wait to see us all wearing them. :thumbup:

Rose - Did you do the tall ships through the cruise line or did you use Lord Sheffield. I contacted them and they will be offering two 1/2 day tours that day - one begins at 9AM (too early for us since we don't arrive til 10) and another beginning at 12:30 and returning at 3:30 if anyone is interested.

Karen and I used Lord Sheffield once and enjoyed it. Sailed toward Saphire Beach and the airport, then back past, I think Divi Beach, and snorkled, jumped off the ship, etc. They do a nice BBQ onboard. We only hd about 6 passengers the day we went. It is an easy walk from the pier area, just down the street from the terminal, toward town.

The Celebrity board is working again, but the shore excursions still are not available :thumbup:

Did everyone see Mercedes post in the CruiseLine forums about Celebrity and their dining changes? Seems they are going to test the anytime dining.

John - any idea if it will be available to us in November?

This is what we did in St. Martin.......... http://www.12metre.com/

We booked through the cruiseline. It was around $100 pp but definitely worth it from my prospective. I will warn you this is not restful!!!! It is hard work but great fun!

I'm glad that you were pleased with the shirts. You may want to check and see if you want a red and/or navy one or a long sleeve one.

Let us have the detals on the tall ships thing please.

LOL!! I know I can count on you guys to post when the shore excursions open for this trip.

MaryLou, there are times that if you ask Jerry where we are going on our cruise, he'll say, "I have no idea, but I'll be able to tell you when we get back." It doesn't matter how many times I talk about it, share with him, etc. etc.

The funniest was when Crazie was in bed with him. He was clueless as to how a bear got on the ship. Once I explained it (I said, kinda like Flat Stanley that we had to take the last time), he wanted to cart her everywhere -- hence all of the pictures of Crazie on our cruise.

As for excursions, I highly recommend Rhino Riding in St Maarten (Simpson Beach). Go through ShoreTrips. Imagine riding a motorcycle in the ocean. It is a total blast.

I have always wanted to participate in the Regatta races. Jerry thinks it's too physical (remember, he's a true couch potatoe)

I'm sure that you're right. If one of us does't see it, another will. :biggrin:

Well I dragged my feet waiting to find out about the Connie shirts in color and now everyone is getting them and I will have to wait!

Rose...That's the one I was talking about and would like to try. Of course with my back I may only be able to point with one hand and hold the martini with the other! :laugh:
