pls5286 Posted December 21, 2013 #1 Share Posted December 21, 2013 (edited) My daughter, who will be 11 at the time of the trip wants to do a Mommy-Daughter cruise. Her brother is 17 and thinks he is too cool to hang with mom unless his girlfriend can come along. What do you think of this. I do have some health issues so the strenuous excursions are out. What do you recommend? This will be the first trip just the 2 of us. She is now big enough that I don't have to have someone else to help chase her around!

susie8862 Posted December 21, 2013 #2 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Not too sure of what your question is. Are you asking a bunch of strangers if you should bring your son and his girlfriend?:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitro2448 Posted December 21, 2013 #3 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Not really sure what the question is either. If you're asking what we think of a mother daughter cruise, I think it'll be great. Just pick some non-strenuous excursions. GO MIZZOU!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimAOk1945 Posted December 21, 2013 #4 Share Posted December 21, 2013 A mother/daughter cruise with just the two of you sounds wonderful. The title of your question says 7 night western. Do you mean Western Caribbean, Western Mediterranean or something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blubonnet Posted December 21, 2013 #5 Share Posted December 21, 2013 PLS5286, In less than a month I'm taking my mom on our first mother-daughter cruise--to the Western Caribbean. I can't wait! Mom has never cruised. We didn't have the funds to take these kinds of major trips when I was kid. My mom has never experienced room-service, going to a spa, or the joy of waking up and looking out on the ocean from her balcony. We don't have any strenuous excursions planned.There always seemed to be plenty to pick from with a little research seemed that fit the bill. I can't speak to your specific situation, surely where your other child would stay, and expense factor into the equation, but I can tell you- there's no right or wrong time to start spending time together and build memories.

pls5286 Posted December 21, 2013 Author #6 Share Posted December 21, 2013 I am looking at a 7 Night Western Caribbean out of FLA. I have not settled on a port yet. My son would stay with his grandparents. Do you have any excursions to recommend that we do that are not too strenuous? I can handle walks, as long as there are breaks and not fast paced. She is not a good swimmer. She really wants to see the Mayan Ruins since she has studied them in school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimAOk1945 Posted December 22, 2013 #7 Share Posted December 22, 2013 The ports of call on a 7 night Western Caribbean will give you both an excellent opportunity of seeing Mayan ruins. We have seen a Chitchen Itza, Uxmal, Kohunlich, Tulum, and Lamanai. I would suggest that you look at the cruise lines you are interested in to see which one offers the shore excursions to the ruins you are most interested in. You might like to see slide shows my wife made with pictures she took at those sites. Just click on the links below to view them. Happy cruising!

We are doing this on the 1/19/14 sailing of the Legend. Two moms (bff's) and their girls (ages 10 & 12). Leaving the boys at home! Can't wait.
