LOL, yes! Wrapping it around a straw saves all that room in the middle of the roll and I put three kids of tape around one straw and cut them apart. Yes you have to be slightly OCD to get it all on straight but I am a big proponent of packing light. A whole roll of duct tape is WAY too much...

Lots of great suggestions! We also take things like duct tape, but I usually wrap them around a straw and take a much smaller amount. A surprising number of feet will fit around a straw in a tight, and then I just trim the excess straw. I carry masking/gaffer's tape, duct tape, and...

Hi! We will be at DLR Oct 27-Nov 1. I have not read all the way through the thread, but what non-MHP activities are there, if any? :confused3 We did MNSSHP in 2010 and wish we could afford MHP, but it is not in the budget for this trip. And we did not get to really 'plan' the timing of this...

I believe the 5% is for people who are eligible to upgrade after one year and they were offering a $200 (if I recall correctly) credit for new customers. For you, where you are still in your original 12 months, I am not sure if there are any incentives. :confused3 I hope someone here has more...

Hmmm, I think I would not do RCI or Carnival AFTER the Fantasy... but that is just me. I would worry about the immedieate comparison leaving one or the other lacking, if that makes any sense. I am not a DCL snob per say; I have sailed many other lines. I just think for kids (and perhaps for...

:hug: Sorry for your losses and hard times. :( We booked our first cruise in January when our good friends little boy passed from Leukemia and I had surgery and my grandma was in the hospital dying of liver failure. I needed a distraction and I think some cruise therapy is more than in...

Have you tried looking at any of the past cruisers personal navigators for daily schedules? I believe there were a few on the ones I was looking at when I was checking out the Kids Club times, but don't quote me on that.

Oh, and my TA did say she was not sure if all the Fantasy cabins would be the same. :confused3 I am not sure why or what might be different but I am curious to hear the reports as they come in the next few months.

We initially were planning to book one of these and I had researched all of the different rooms and configurations. I did find pics of two other rooms 6514 and 6510 Maybe that will hep someone else. :)

Are you able to view them from an aft verandah? We will be in 8188 if it matters...

We have 8188 booked for Jan 2013. :cool1: The back is less windy since the ship blocks some of the draft and there is a 'sweet spot' of wind block so to speak. (Sort of like drafting behind a truck...) We have sailed in both places and the side were much windier while in motion. You could...

Yup, I got this on out last cruise. I do not get sea sick at all. After coming back home, though, it was a good week later things were still moving around me. My doctor told me to take meclizine/bonine and a good sinus med every night to reduce any added inner ear pressure. I think the...

So if we have more than one cabin, are the CDs able to be combined or are they one CD per cabin??? Or can we specify a cabin to assign the pics when we are taking them? Just curious how that works. ;-)

You are making me want some roast! I make roast fairly reguarly and I hated them until recently. Here is the thing I found: it is critical for me to sear and salt the meat prior to placing it in the crockpot. Otherwise, I get dry meat and all the juice ends up outside the meat, and not...

So is it possible to coordinate a group with other DISers and plan it for the times we will all be there? We are planning a short trip just before the marathon in January 2013 and would love to let DD(8) participate in one of these programs. Thoughts? Do the groups have to be local to each...

Depending on how many days yu are going, there is a SLIM chance you might want the park hoppers if you have several more days than parks. That said, we NEVER park hop. We have gone 4 times since 2008. We are going back in Jan next year. We would rather visit one park each day and spend...

We only have AA here so we try to pack only carry on. I would rather buy $50 (per checked bag) in onboard luxuries (hello Senses, it has been too long) or something I need, than pay that to American. This site has been invaluable for me and I now pack more, lighter, and use most of what I...

We are probably only taking carry on luggage... DH and I did a 5 night last may and I still did not wear everything I took. That being said, if we are not flying I might consider taking an extra bag or checking a couple of the bags in at the ship. I plan to wear my swimsuit on with a...

Hmm, we are 5E and are definitely aft- by choice, though. We are in 8188 on the Dream for Jan 2013. I use this to figure out which room/category I want. I think it is more user friendly than a lot of the others I have seen.

Thank you!!! This is a huge help!
