Last year we were 3 adults in a Category 4... me, my DH, and my sister. This year we were 2 adults in a Category 6 (just me and my sister). We really didn't notice much of a difference between the two rooms, but maybe it's hard to compare the two since we had one less person in the room this...

I hope you feel better soon! We caught colds toward the end of the week on our May 15th Magic cruise and, like you, spent a lot of time resting at AKL the night after our cruise! Mine turned into a sinus infection this week and my sister has some kind of bronchial thing. We also went through...

I'm considering this excursion as well but am slightly claustrophobic. Since the boat is "semi"-submersible, does that mean if I start to feel uncomfortable or confined being "under" the water that I can just head back up to the top deck if need be? My sister and Dad are doing this tour, but I...

Hi! What movies were playing during your trip? :)

Does anyone know if Ron Jon's will allow you to park your car at the resort while you're on the cruise? My parents are going as well and we were thinking of hauling everyone and all of our luggage over to the port in our 2 cars, then 2 people running back to the resort to park the cars and...

We were next door in 8042. We loved the location. I had heard the warnings about being underneath the Goofy pool, but didn't hear any noise from that. I suppose that during the deck party on Mexicali night it may have been loud in our room, but I wouldn't know, since we were up at the party...

From what I understand, there are both standard and deluxe rooms located on the 5th floor. However, if you book concierge level, you will definitely be assigned to a deluxe room. I think the 6th floor only has deluxe rooms, and there aren't very many rooms on the 6th floor. When we stayed...

We also had the first-time cruiser $50 credit. We had checked with DU prior to the cruise and they took care of everything. However, when I checked with Guest Services on Sunday during our cruise to make sure the credit was there, it was not. The CM at the desk had never heard of this and had...

Across the hall from room 6588...

MiaSRN62 - The porter walked us out in front of the terminal and unloaded our bags right next to the curb so they'd be right there when my DH returned with the car. Then my sister and I waited on a nearby bench where we could keep and eye on our luggage, and my DH went off to catch the Radisson...

Hi! While I love my Passporter and recommend it to everyone who's thinking of cruising on DCL, apparently there are several errors in the book regarding the number of people that a cabin will sleep. We were in 8042 for the Western cruise in April, and according to the Passporter it only sleeps...

BD -- thanks for the laugh! My DH went and fetched my sister's car from the Radisson while my sister and I relaxed on a bench outside the cruise terminal. UH OH!!!! But hopefully he didn't resent it too much. I don't think he wanted to wait a long time and deal with the hassle of all of...

Dh and I spent some time there on our Western cruise in April. We practically had the place all to ourselves. We shot some hoops and played some pool. There was one family playing checkers at the life-size checkerboard, and a few teens playing pool. It was lots of fun, in the shade and, best...

I bought 2 new dresses for the cruise... 1 for formal night and 1 for semi-formal. But when I started packing my suitcase I thought, "Something has GOT to GO!!!" So the formal dress got left behind. I wore the same "little black dress" both nights and did not feel funny about it at all. :)

Mjasp - we were at Mr. Sancho's Beach a few weeks ago and yes, they do serve Coke in cans. We ordered nachos and chicken flautas and we each drank sodas from the can. The funny part was that my sister had ordered a Diet Coke and the logo on the can said "Coca-Cola Light". Anyway, the food...

We found it very convenient to charge the tips to our stateroom account. We went to guest services on Wednesday to take care of the tips, as we'd heard the lines get longer later in the week. They gave us the receipts to put in the envelopes. Then on Friday during the debarkation talk (we...

Hi hulagirl :) We're back, and the news is good regarding seasickness. We were on the 4/26 Magic Western Cruise. Seasickness was not an issue for me at all! I took 2 Bonines every morning with breakfast. I also wore seabands the 1st night just to be on the safe side. That's the only night...

Yes, I'll be sure to message you when we get back. We're spending a few days at Universal Orlando after the cruise, so we'll be returning the evening of May 6th. Hopefully my Bonine will work fine and I'll have good news to report! :)

hulagirl - I say jump right in and go for the 7 day! We have never cruised before either and we had a tough time deciding between a 4-night or a 7-night as we started thinking about planning a cruise (we knew that a 3-night would be too short for us). I was VERY worried about sea-sickness, so...

Just wondering what time we can actually go ashore in Key West and Cozumel. We will be taking in some sights on our own, so for planning purposes I'm trying to get an idea of what time we can go ashore. Also, approximately what time do you approach these islands? We'd like to go up to deck...
