I saw the lifeboat drill on the webcam. Thanks for sharing. My daughter and I will be on the FOS in May. Can't wait.

I love the sting rays! They are like puppies of the sea. Thanks for sharing.

We stayed at East End in GC in 2009 and used Captain Marvin's and they are fantastic. I loved it so much my daughter and I are using them again and my husband is so jealous.

I live in Kansas City but my cruise on the Freedom is May 25th. I hope you find another Kansas City traveler to share your journey. That would make a great story.

I am not sure if your times listed allow of the time change between ship time and local time. For example, if the ship starts on the east coast, they will keep the eastern time zone. I had to think about this when booking with Captain Marvin for our excursion in May. We are doing the two stop that starts at 8:30 local time but is actually 9:30 ship time which gives us plenty of time to eat breakfast, tender and get to the shop since the ship gets into port at 8:00 eastern time.

That said, I would trust Captain Marvin's staff for the time to check in just because they are aware of the ships time vs local time.

I did Captain Marvin's back in 2008 when we stayed on the island and it is an awesome operation.

You will enjoy the spaciousness on the boat and be amazed at the other boats that look like refugee boats loaded with tons of people.:eek:
