Sorry if some of these questions have been asked already:
We are planning a cruise for late 2016, 5 day Western Caribbean, leaving from Miami. (Me, DD who will be 9 and DH. We are thinking of going late November/ early Dec. How are the crowds? How is the weather? I've read that Castaway Cay can be chilly, what's chilly? I'm from the midwest, so swimming weather is 80 degrees to me.
We are planning on flying in the day before and staying overnight in Miami. Are there any suggestions for where to stay, decent price, decent place? (Aside from the couple I pulled up from Mousesavers?) We were hoping to find a place near a convenice store/super market so we can buy water, and other things to bring on the ship.
After the cruise we are hoping to rent a car and drive to WDW for a 3 stay stint at the parks.
I'm sure our DD will be very interested in the Ocean Club/Lab. Anything we should know about this? Do they seem to make friends easily?
We are thinking of doing an excursion of Snuba Diving. And then any advice for dos and don'ts on Castaway Cay would be great. (btw, Is it pronounced Kay or Key?)
This will be our first cruise, and any advice would be great. I've been trying to read up on things already.
Thanks in advance. Again, if there are already answers to some of these things please point me in the right direction. Thanks.
