[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We just got back from our 4th Disney cruise. Not going to lie, our least relaxing was our first, when DS was too young to go to the kids club. You may want to consider booking some nursery time during the day so you can DH can have some time to yourself. The adult-only areas are nice.

We've done the fish extender a couple times - it's a gift exchange. I agree with skipping it for your first cruise.

Do you have a balcony room? That's nice for hanging out while your kid/kids is/are napping.

You can bring on one bottle of wine or a 6-pack of beer per adult. Also nice while hanging out on the balcony.

If your ship has the midship detective agency, your 4 year old may enjoy it. It's fun running around the ship gathering clues.

We were supposed to go to Mr. Sanchos in Cozumel on our last cruise (August) - seems like a good deal for a beach club if you don't have another excursion in mind. We didn't end up stopping at Cozumel due to a hurricane. We had booked it directly through Mr. Sanchos.

Castaway Cay is a great beach... we too like the "snorkeling beach" (which you arrive at first) better than the "family beach". We like ordering room service for breakfast on Castaway Cay day to get off the ship as quickly as possible.  The lunch food at Cookies is pretty good and there are some fun souvenirs available only on the island. If you or DH is a runner, they have a fun 5k first thing when you get off the boat. You can sign up for it at guest services. You can drop off your 4 year old at the kids club on the island but I don't think you'll have anything to do with the 1 year old so I think that would mean you and your DH couldn't both do it.

We always just do the buffet for breakfast and lunch and the main dining room for dinner. If you get sick of the huge sit down meals every night, the places by the pool are good options for quicker, more casual dinners. Animators Palate has a fun show as part of dinner so you may want to make a point to hit that. You'll have the dinner rotation assigned on your key to the world card that you get at checkin.

I think that's it for now... I'll post more if I can think of anything else.[/quote]

OP here - I booked a beach outing in cozumel and the glass bottom boat in castaway day. I booked a few hours during the two days at sea for the baby to go to the nursery so we could get a few hours of alone time during the day. Do you know if there are fireworks etc. Every night? Trying to determine how much night hours of nursery care we might need.[/quote]
