    Moderate resort dilemma

    We prefer POR. We tried CBR when it was the only moderate available to us for Free Dining one year, but wouldn't go back. The boat to DTD from POR is wonderful!

    Arcade cards expire?

    We specifically asked when we were there last year and were told by the arcade attendant at the POP that they do not expire.

    Beers on board?

    Choices vary by ship. The Magic had many more choices than the Dream. The choices on the Dream were so few, I didn't bother to get the mug this time.

    Contemplating canceling...

    Back when we had AP's, I did 2 solo trips. One at the Pop, one at Sports. Both were great trips. I wandered a lot. Rode my favorite rides (sometimes using the single rider line) many times. Tried new food. Played tour guide to lost newbie families. Chatted with cast members often. I...

    Darren, and he is wonderful! Our cruise 4/27-5/1 was his first back from vacation and his first on the Dream.

    Dream Negativity??

    We sailed the Dream less than a month ago and truthfully it felt less "Magical" than our trip on the Magic last year. Not that it was bad, but different. Dinner was much noisier with so many more people in each dining room on the Dream. Since we didn't sit anywhere near a TV monitor...

    Castaway Cay without cabanas

    As mentioned by someone else above, you need photo ID for adults. Not that anyone asked to look at it. We specifically asked before departing. We started on the Pelican Plunge beach, then moved to the beach closer to the ship. Then our son ditched us for the kids club on the island and my...

    Who else has had kids bail on CC Stingray adventure?

    Our 9 year old got "nipped." I don't care what anyone says. If I see something that big in the ocean, I shouldn't be getting in. 40 years old here and I was freaked out. My wife still laughs at me.

    pulling kids out of school to cruise...

    We've taken our son out for many vacations. This time was a little harder for him to catch up. He's in 3rd grade. It won't stop us next year, but at some point, we know we'll have to plan around his spring break.

    Can I board the boat just with my BC and DL?

    We cruised a few weeks ago and they recommeded that in the future we bring our marriage certificate also, as some ports require it. However, my wife's BC & DL was fine to get on the ship.

    How much money did you spend during your cruise?

    We did 8 nights on the Magic and spent $853 on board and about $20 cash in room service tips. Most of that was souvenirs, but a good chuck was drinks (not just alcohol. My son was getting a $4 smoothy every dinner, plus there were souvenir cups. My wife has some specialty coffees also.) Keep...

    What is your Best Tip for first time cruisers?

    After 18 trips to WDW over the last 18 years, we decided to do a Disney Cruise. Best idea ever. We researched here alot, but we still didn't "get" what it meant to cruise until we did it. Our tips: 1) RELAX. After 2 days on the cruise, I thought I'd made a mistake going. Then we spent a day...

    Guidance appreciated

    Our server on the Magic told us that the TA cruise was much different than what we had just experienced. Out of the 2200 passengers booked (for the Magic's TA) only 60 were children.

    How do you find out if your room is connecting or not?

    We had a connection room on the Magic. We had the "steamer trunk" in front of the connecting door. We had ZERO noise from the other room. No issues at all.

    Need some ideas for yummy drinks to order on our cruise!

    Everyone said that this was the drink to not miss...and we didn't them at all. Ended up dumping them into the sand. That being said, we tried the "drink of the day" almost every day and enjoyed most of them. Your servers will be glad to offer suggestions.

    Caribbean Beach FAQ part V

    We just got back from CBR also. Trust me, you did not want to be in Jamaica with the dance teams. Our room was there and after a sleepless night of teenage girls chattering outside the room we asked to be moved and were very happy with our new room in Martinque. The quiet pools in both...
