Hi, We're on the Dover to Barcelona Repo on the July 30th sailing. After getting off the ship, we are staying that day and night in Barcelona before departing back to the US. Any experience with hotels? I've seen the Disney package hotels, but I wanted to see if anyone had a...

Where can we get the best military discount tickets? Our Navy family is headed to Disney World in three days (yeah!:cheer2: ), and we're not sure where to find the best deal on park hopper tickets. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

The whole "not tipping" is inexcusable. Period. Tips should be just part of the budgeted cruise expenses.

Thanks for the links.

We would like to rent out a reservation. I've read the primers posted on this site. I was wondering if an experienced owner who has rented could PM me with some instruction/advice how to proceed. Thanks

Interesting thread and thanks for posting. How do the shore excursions compare and does Carnival have a Castaway Cay type island?

I found out that you can only use them to credit your account at guest services on deck 3, so don't try to use them to buy drinks, goodies, etc directly at the register.

It may be toll free for the person that is calling, but the receiver may be billed per minute.

I was sucked in (and I am glad) to DVC on our first cruise in Aug 06. They were running a $10/pt discount at that time if you bought in during the cruise. I could take that, or they would throw in a whole set of usable points (only 4 months remained in use year). We decided on the point discount.

I am not sure if the OP is a US citizen, but I think Disney holds your passport if you are not a US citizen, so you might not be able to take them off the ship anyways. We just used our US drivers licenses and kttw.

They won't open up the passageways to your staterooms until 1:30 pm, so really the only thing to do when you get on the ship is go eat at either the Topsiders (Beach Blanket)buffet or Parrot Cay restaurant. The shops onboard will not open until 6pm that night. It is important to be on no...

I thought Brent was the Wonder's cruise director??

I think the easiest way is to get off the ship, go through the port building (tons of shops, etc) and get one of the taxi folks in there to take you over to Atlantis. It's $4 per person and someone in the taxi needs to pay $1 to get over the bridge to Paradise Island. I don't know about...

3/1 Wonder was self-service.

It is on night 2 and there are fireworks for the 3 night cruise

It is definitely deck 4 on both the Wonder and Magic. I found it best to run/jog/walk early in the morning. Only other people out there are the other runners. Later in the day it becomes difficult to run/walk as folks are playing shuffleboard, etc. Couple of thoughts: It gets very...

IMO, I think the pools are crowded during days at sea. Not so much during the earlier show time, but generally I think it is. As far as loungers go, there are a lot of them. Some are actually on deck 10 above the pool deck. You might want to get there early as some folks try to save a...

Keep in mind the 10% rate from Disney is their preferred credit rate. It can be as high as 14% or so. I don't know the credit score cutoff. -D
