    Shows on Royal Caribbean

    Just FYi....you do realize this is one of the oldest and smallest ships in their fleet? Not saying you won't have a good time but coming off Disney there will be a HUGE difference.

    Opinion On Bringing A Light Saber

    So.....we sail in a week and two days...WHOO! WHOO!! On this sailing it will be me, my husband and our 8yr old granddaughter. Around Christmas I bought at Walmart this cool light saber with the intention of getting Kate excited about the trip. Well now she wants to take it onboard.. Do you...

    Beach at Nassau

    I would either go to Atlantis, get a day pass at the British Colonial Hilton or stay on the ship. The one and only time we went to Junkanoo Beach it was not a good experience for us. The beach was trashed, sketchy people all around and the bathrooms were closed and flooded. My husband who is...

    Airfare and where to stay...

    The three closest to the Port are going to be the County Inn & Suites, Residence Inn and the Radisson at the Port. They are all good motels and all have a shuttle to the port (fees for this may vary) so check with them directly.

    Milk question

    when we were on the Dream last May both my granddaughters got lactose free milk at each meal in the dining room just by asking. One night the waiter brought the carton to the table I guess because it was almost empty and it was the Lactaid brand in the blue and white carton. Hope this...

    Dream stateroom inside or outside?

    IMO the virtual porthole was one of the smartest things Disney has come up with for their ships!! We loved it!!!

    Does DCL have peak seasons like the parks?

    Anytime the kids are out of school (summer/holidays) you can expect peak crowds and peak prices.....

    Country Inn & Suites PC

    Yes this has changed.......there is a shuttle fee. Not sure how much if you don't have a car. All of the hotels now charge. We used to get free shuttle/parking with any rate at the Radisson, but that changed as of 5/1/11 because of the per vehicle fee that has been imposed by the Port.

    Can You Tell Me About Maho Beach on St Maarten?

    Another reason to book a tour. With Bernard we went to the beach, then on to Marigot for about 30 min of shopping, then to Maho and even with the bad traffic was back at the port 1 1/2hrs before we sailed. We paid $40 pp, which was paid at the end of the tour....however you must reserve and...

    HELP! East or west?

    The Eastern without a doubt, just because we think it's so much prettier. And honestly we felt safer there than in the Western...... Have only done one Western and didn't care for it so much, so we don't plan to return. BUT this is just our opinion of what we like......many many others...

    Can You Tell Me About Maho Beach on St Maarten?

    Another vote for Bernard. We have used him twice and had a great experience both times. The big planes usually come in the early afternoon, so we were able to see 2 or 3 of them land before heading back. When we were there in October they were still doing a lot of road construction near...

    Country Inn Suites Park and Cruise

    We have stayed at CI&S 5 times now. You ask for a shuttle time when you check in. Then the next morning be out front of the hotel, Dwayne or Crystal will load you up & take you to the port. When you return they will either be sitting there waiting or they may give you their cell phone # for...

    Shorts in dining rooms...

    On our Dream cruise last May I saw more guys wearing shorts in the dining room than I have ever seen on any other cruiseline I have been on. No one paid a bit of attention, so tell your husband if he wants to wear nice shorts.....go for it........my husband did......:cool1:

    Radisson at the Port PROMO CODE

    Your original post "implies" that you were able to get away with using this code last year because no info was required at check-in .....AND ....you seemed concerned about the pop-up indicating they required employees name & work location.....AND .....wanting to know if they "stick to...

    Radisson at the Port PROMO CODE

    Bottom line is if you do NOT know any employee as the rate requires then it would not be the "right" thing to do for you to get that rate.......:sad2: I hope they are now verifying this information at check-in.

    1st time cruiser

    You may get different opinions on this but we always leave our passports locked in the safe and take only a copy of the picture page with us. You will only need your ship card and a photo ID to get back on board. (A driver's license will suffice as your picture ID) Hope this helps.....

    Lactaid milk on magic ?

    When we were on the Dream in May they definately DID have Lactaid milk. On one occasion our server brought the carton to the table to pour it into the glass so I did see it was the Lactaid brand. Hope this helps.....

    Bernard's Tours St Maarten

    Have used Bernard twice now and will use him again in April. Reservations are all done online www.bernardstours.com. We didn't pay him until we arrived in St Martin. With all the road construction going on near Maho Beach I would HIGHLY recommend taking a tour if you are going...
