    Is Kendall Joseph still on the Dream?

    Hmm. I know he was on the Dream and not the Fantasy in the summer of 2012, but I guess he moved since then. I think his sister, Cindy (?) is on the Fantasy, right? I will miss him on the Dream, but it's great if he is on the same ship as a family member.

    Is Kendall Joseph still on the Dream?

    Does anyone know? We've had him as an assistant server on a Panama Canal cruise and as a server on a Baltic cruise and would love to see him again on an upcoming Dream trip. Thanks!

    Does the water on the ship taste like mold?

    I would say I have about average pickiness in terms of water taste, and I think the water on the Fantasy and Magic is fine (only two DCL ships I've sailed). I did just return from a cruise on a small ship on another line, and I really did not like the water at all and had to disguise it by...

    Number of pedicure chairs on Dream?

    I am sailing on the Dream with two friends and am wondering if it is possible for the three of us to get pedicures at the same time and be able to talk to each other while we are having them. Anyone know? Thanks!

    Am i on crack?

    Hmm, I am not sure, to be honest. My kids were flying at an early age, and I can't recall the details of that particular flight (it was not trans-Atlantic - just to Alaska from Colorado). When they were toddlers it was really hard to keep them entertained on flights, and I remember being...

    Am i on crack?

    ITA with the "divide and conquer" philosophy for when some people in the group want to do an excursion that others can't. We were on a large family cruise (not Disney) to Alaska when my kids were 1 and 3. My sister and I picked one day to take my dad on a float plane trip as a Father's Day...

    Am i on crack?

    I have done several trips with multiple generations of family members and generally think cruising is easier logistically for such groups than land travel is. It was pretty challenging trying to board trains in Europe with my great-grandmother in a wheelchair, my baby half-sister in a backpack...

    Question re: Alaska cruise w/teen in wheelchair

    On our Magic Panama Canal cruise there was a designated wheelchair viewing area for going through the canal. It might be worth asking whether there is one for the glacier day.

    What should I do...cruise or wait?

    I would definitely go. I think a Disney cruise is one of the best possible vacations with a baby since as others have mentioned, you're in a relatively small geographic area and never far from clean clothes, diapers, a place to nap, etc. It is absolutely true that you will have more freedom to...

    What age is best for Alaska? Or is Panama Canal a better idea?

    I have done both Alaska and Panama Canal cruises with very young kids. I think families can have a great time on either, but I would vote for doing Panama Canal, which is the longer cruise and better in non-summer months, now, while you don't have to worry about taking kids out of school for 2...

    Is Remy worth the charge if you do not drink wine?

    The Remy meal includes one cocktail, if I remember correctly, but I am sure you could ask for a non-alcoholic one if you prefer. I did have one drink before the meal but did not drink wine with dinner and still enjoyed the meal immensely. I do enjoy wine now and then but try to limit intake...

    Carseats in the Med

    Would the Ride Safer Travel Vest be an option? I haven't used one, but if I remember correctly I bought something similar for my son to use when we did an Alaskan cruise and had a few car/shuttle rides. We were already taking one Britax seat for my baby, so I wanted something smaller for my...

    Aqua Duck?

    Threehuggers, you don't need to be able to swim to ride the AquaDuck. The water is only a few inches deep, and you don't start or end in deep water. If your DH just doesn't like to get wet, that's one thing. But if it's just that he doesn't know how to swim, he could go on the AquaDuck if he...

    What to do w/ unused Universal gift card?

    I inadvertently left a $40 Universal Orlando Resort gift card at home when we went on our January trip. It's been sitting on my desk, and I don't know what to do with it. I tried to use it to buy a souvenir I needed to replace after my puppy chewed up something we'd bought, but I was told I...

    best remedey(non-medication) for sea sickness

    I take warfarin, too, and know it interacts with so many medications, so I would probably ask a pharmacist for advice before you travel if you want to know whether she can take Bonine or something like that. Having said that, I would not worry about it much unless you know anyone in your party...

    Need Advice on Scooter

    We did something similar on a family reunion cruise, though we broke it down by meals and shows rather than whole days. It worked really well, and I highly recommend it. My grandmother did know who was taking her places, though, because it was in the schedule I gave everyone (that also said...

    Best ABD for physical activity? Or Backroads review?

    We have taken several longer Disney cruises including the Panama Canal and Baltic Sea itineraries and are considering trying ABD but are also interested in doing a trip with a significant amount of physical activity (partly as motivation for me to get in better shape, lol). Are there any ABD...

    Sport simulators

    You can sign up at Guest Services. I want to say it was about $20 for an hour, but I can't remember exactly. The hours are in the Navigators, but I can't remember if the simulators were open on port days.

    What is the rule about saving a seat by the pool?

    I wish there were some good places to stash belongings while swimming if you don't need to sit in a chair. I think there are plenty of people, including me, who would be happy to stick sunscreen, shoes, etc. in a cubby rather than set them on a chair. But there really isn't anywhere to leave...
