we put in a request because we loved Royal Palace on the Dream. We are sailing the Fantasy, so we visit one restaurant 3 times and the others 2 times. I asked that Royal Court be our 3x restaurant. But, it I don't get it, I am fine.

we are doing the San Gervasio ruins with the chocolate factory tour and beach visit (more for the waterslide and refreshment potential on this last stop). We are torn between House of Good Hope tour and Horse and Buggy Tour, but leaning toward House of Good Hope. As for Grand Cayman, just not...

Last February, I was on a cross-country trip with the kids, using SW. We were scheduled to leave Wednesday, connecting in Houston. The previous Saturday, they started predicting "Snowmageddon." I called SW, but since no advisory was issued, I couldn't change without paying the difference in fare...

We did two days at Universal last fall prior to our 4-night Dream cruise last Thanksgiving. We had a great time, BUT we started the cruise exhausted. My ankles and feet were very swollen for the first two days on the ship. We are doing a seven night this year and not adding parks on. We drove...

For our 4-night Dream last year, I took a $50 strap of singles. I tipped the terminal porters separately from this. We used it for room service (left it in an envelope in the drawer so that we all had access), drivers for our excursion (2 ppl each way), bell services at the hotel (stayed at...

I have it booked for our upcoming Western on the Fantasy. The ruins (San Gervasio) are on Cozumel, as opposed to the ruins on the main land (Tulum). I wanted Tulum, but based on DD's reaction to rough seas on a whale watching trip (queasy the rest of the day), we decided that San Gervasio was a...

Yes. We loved the ones on the Dream. So much so that when mine conked out at home, I ordered the same brand (Babyliss) to replace it.

I like coffee from our local coffee house, where they roast their own (Fair Trade, Organic - you get the picture) beans and grind them fresh for your order. That being said, I had no problem with the room service coffee, or the coffee in the MDRs. I have tried Via packs at home, and found them...

We were also #2 as first time cruisers (did have a wheelchair, if that made any difference, but didn't appear to) with a 1030 PAT on a sold out cruise.

We cruised over Thanksgiving 2014. There was no line, so I went to the check-in counter, explained to the CM that DH was parking the car, asked if I needed to wait until he got back. I was told no, completed the entire process, received all four KTTW and was told to have him get a photo as we...

Yes, you can check in without everyone physically present in the terminal. Last cruise, my DH parked the car, I went in and checked us in. He got back before we got on board, so they gave us his KTTW. And, I agree with you on attendance. Now my DD is in HS we are more reluctant to miss days, but...

And Segways!

Not quite halfway down: Kites, balloons, surfboards, wave boards, inflatable floats/pools (including pool noodles), and wagons PP, thanks for the list - some of the items had me wondering why?!? Would someone bring that?!? (Blender for example)

We found my imaginings of the muster drill to be far worse than the reality. DD is a stroke survivor, so some TBI symptoms (loud noises literally are painful, exaggerated startle reflex, etc.) DH has claustrophobia and anxiety disorder (has meds). Our muster station was outside on deck 4...

I got a pop up confirming my $1,000 deposit that included a reminder that they could put a hold on that deposit for up to seven business days. I am planning to use my DVA account to pay off the cruise, and, assuming that there is no hold, that is an immediate transfer from DVA to DCL. There is...

Just a heads up for anyone using DVA to pay for your cruise. There is a limit on how much you can deposit on a single day of $1000, and a temporary hold can be placed on that deposit for up to 7 business days. So if you are getting close to you PIF date and want to use DVA to get the Disney gift...

This is exactly what we did last year, and are doing again this summer! We drive from SC, too, and it is between 7-8 hours (depending on what time we hit Columbia). We took our time coming home, stopping in Jacksonville for lunch and meeting friends for ice cream in Savannah, but it was...

I always factor EBCI into the cost of my flight - $12.50 per person each way. Generally, SWA is still a great deal even with the addition of $25 to the fare. I have flown SWA since they came into my market 4 or 5 years ago. I now fly them almost exclusively, and a recent USAir experience...

We are on the Western this summer. We did the Dream last fall. We did late dining, and our 9 year old DS had no issues with it, in fact, he loved the Dine and Play option. We are doing late dining again this summer (He is 10). We found last time that a hearty snack late afternoon (or even a very...

The verandah was lovely. Spent a lot of time out there! It is the same depth as all the others (don't have a measurement, but there was plenty of room from the cabin door to the rail for the chairs (regular upright patio chairs). It was longer/wider, due to the cabin being larger. The floor...
