Hope you are feeling better soon! I had strep about a month ago and it lasted for three weeks. Even after 5 days of antibiotics (Z-pack), I was sick for another 10 days. It might have been worse because I had it for 7 days before I got meds, who knows... or maybe because I'm an adult and...

Thank you everyone for all of your stories... This gives me lots of great ideas, but it also reminds me to be realistic about my expectations. (Prepare for the worst, hope for the best. :rolleyes: ) Another thing I was thinking about...There is a group in town putting together a cruise in...

Hmm... I'd say only about 10-15% wear a tux on formal night, but almost everyone else was wearing a suit or at least a sportcoat that night. We elected to go all-out on formal night, but we were all wearing things we already owned so it worked out well. My husband and son (9yo) wore tuxes, I...

Sounds like you had a great time together! So... take me back to the planning stages. Did you decide to go on a trip together first and then decided on the cruise? Or was one of your two families looking at the cruise and then asked the other to join them? Or were you all just sitting around...

I know this seems like a weird question, but I'm just wondering what some of your stories are in regards to how you started traveling with other families. This seems like something that my family would really enjoy; we are all fairly social, and although we love vacationing together, we do...

That was my thought... that setting up an automated notification system similar to what school systems have might be more difficult than just posting information on a website that people could check. Sure, not every single passenger has access to the internet as they are getting ready to travel...

Oh, I didn't realize that some of the airlines have that option now. I have flown only twice in the past ten years. That is great news.

We were at CC on Friday, the 12th and it was a beautiful day until it started to cool down and get very windy in the afternoon. But it was never really true "beach weather", the kind that makes everyone want to get into the water. I put my feet in and that was good enough for me -- reminded me...

I would be tempted just for the Nickelodeon part! We have three big Nick fans in our house... (of course they are Disney fans, too :) )

Do you think a "cruise status" website would help? Something along the lines of what the airlines do... each cruise company could do their own, or there could even be a company that manages all of them. Instead of checking by flight number and date, you would check by cruise description and...

Yes, I am still sick, too! Took a full round of antibiotics for strep that I finished a week ago and I STILL have a sore throat. Feel much better, though... I think that the older we get, the longer these colds seem to linger. :sad2: I thought I was being careful, too, but next time I'll have...

That was us at the martini tasting! :) Did your friends have a good time? Was that your first time traveling together, your two families? I did enjoy those martinis and am SO glad that it was on Monday since I came down with strep shortly after. With that horrible, burning sore throat I don't...

Thanks! I'm going to throw away the ripped pouches and probably the lanyards that went with them, then.

I'd like to know the answer to this, too, because a couple of our lanyard pouches ripped before the end of our cruise, so I don't know whether I should just go ahead and throw them away...

We took a port upgrade to a suite, so we weren't able to take advantage of any of the services ahead of time, but I understand they are there for you from the time of booking. But we took full advantage of them once onboard. Other than a Palo reservation, we had not made any reservations from...

We felt that, too... we had a Deck 8 cabin in the aft, and every vibration or shudder made something in the room creak or rattle. This was not happening in the days preceding our stop at CC, only afterward.

I saw the divers the morning of debarkation (from the 8-day). I didn't think anything of it, figured it was standard procedure. :laughing: Guess I was wrong.

I agree! It's a fantastic idea and I do think it would be very popular!!

I didn't even think of USAA -- next time I will call them; we paid a lot more than that for our recent cruise... To the OP, congratulations, I am so glad it worked out for you! After this recent cruise, I can't imagine ever NOT buying travel insurance now...

So Trudy... I am curious... will you cruise again? With DCL?? What about any other folks who were on their first cruise or first DCL cruise? What did you think? Would you do it again? Does having the 20% off influence your decision? :rolleyes:
