Last time we were there, we booked a private coach to take us to the top as they had some gardens there and a great view of the ship.

Thank you both.

If we were a larger party, maybe. But since it's just Poot and me - I think that private tours may be a bit pricey. When I look at local tours - they have all said "groups only". I am hoping that one or two of the other families on my Dis thread will want to club together and do something - but failing that we'll have a wander around PD.

FWIW, my (US-based) TA says:

I do have to say that I was very surprised at how many things were already sold out already; that's not typical so early. I just checked a few other ports, and while a few things have filled up in each, none are as sold out as this stop.

She is going to keep trying for me - I guess we'll see what shakes out over the next few days/weeks.

In case people haven't spotted, as of today you can pre book beverage tastings under onboard activities on each individual day!

Didnt know that so thank you. We had a survey yesterday about this cruise and a cruise we are doing in February.

Yeah I had one on Wednesday and had weirdly put "prebooking alcohol tastings" as an improvement then it randomly appears I'd like to think I had the power but I'm fairly sure it was already in the works. Its a nice addition as means less "I must go do something" on the first day now!

WOHOW! Mine is being sent from my travel agent today so should be here early next week. That will make it real.

What a wonderful cruise this turned out to be. We enjoyed every minute. For us the extra time in New York was great. Last year we stayed in New York for a few days but this time we were flying to Orlando on the 27th so the time in New York was a bonus.
