thanks I'd not heard that expression before.
I had visions of someone bedazzling something in their cabin before dinner.
We'll be dressy, but not formal. And I kinda don't get the side-eyes when people don't dress up? Do people really glare? I guess I've never noticed.
I'm lucky if my husband can find his pants in our luggage without my help, so a day where my husband finds his pants unassisted while I'm dressing our 2 kids is a good day for me Don't have time to worry about "real" formalwear.
Thanks for all the great info. Has anyone booked an apartment pre-cruise in Barcelona through Friendly rentals? Your experiences?
Also, I would appreciate your thoughts on the Diagonal Mar area
Thanks!
Ok, I just booked a seven night Med cruise for this June. I am so excited, but feeling a little overwhelmed that I have so much planning to do in so little time.
I've read through the whole post, but have a few questions.
My family went on the Dream three night a year ago December, what can I expect to be different on the seven night and on the Magic?
How formal is the formal night?
I've read things about the Rainforest room. Is there one on the Magic? If so, how do you book it?
Thanks!

Weve been on 12 DCL cruises and never have noticed any funny looks for people who do OR don't get dressed up. Anyone can envision what they think they are seeing. On our Baltic cruise, we packed a FULL large suitcase with everyone's formal clothes and that just was a big mistake. I can't imagine us doing that this time. I found some really good deals on David's bridal and got beautiful dresses for the girls for about $20 each. So it seemed to make sense at the time. But I have learned that simple is so much better!
I never knew anyone cared how someone dressed or didn't dress until I found the DISboards and then I found out how truly upset some people get.

Does anyone have a good "to do" list before the trip? Not a packing list, but a literal to do list? I've started one, but I'd love to get new ideas. Here were some of mine:
1. Get mail forwarded/held by post office
2. Double check all passports, photocopy them, etc.
3. Email private tour companies to reconfirm
4. Dog sitter reservations, etc.
5. Print confirmations
There are tons of things to do, but I want to make sure I don't miss anything. This trip is a bit longer than our usual and I'd hate to sit there and smack my forehead. No one can help me while I'm "out" this time since we'll all be together C'mon OCD DIS'ers...give me a to do list!
o Make copies of Credit Card (front and back) before you leave. Also bring a list of the contact phone numbers for your credit cards.
