Oh gosh there alee so many fun and great ideas out there. We didn't tell our kids until we were en route to the port. When they saw the ship we asked if they'd like to go on it and they said yes but we think they thought we'd get on then off. The looks when they figured it out were priceless...

I'm thinking as lopng as you have something that won't damage the slide it'll be o.k.

We've never used the kids clubs in the 6 cruises we've been on and have never done Palo or Remy simply because we are on vacation as a family. You can plan it however you want to. We did AK in 2011 and my DDs still talk about that one. Lots to see and learn about. Enjoy!

I was just talking with my daughter about unfortunate (IMHO) it is that today's "standard" for photos are quick snapshots on a phone to be uploaded for the world to see. I was talking about "in my day", the anticipation of picking up the developed photos after a vacation or special event to...

I'll add a vote for being Vancouver the night before. You never what can happen and I'm one for safe and sound vs. potentially facing issues. I'm sure the train ride is beautiful though.

We were on board in June for my recent birthday, which I didn't want a fuss made over but with your info. out there on your redo, that's not the case. I received the traditional serenade of Happy Birthday in the dining room and our server brought out a nice chocolate mouse or lava cake that...

Canon Mark II for on board and non water/beach shore excursions. Canon point and shoot Powershot S110 for everything else. A Nikon waterproof one for water/beach excursions.

It's an unfortunate situation. It's hard not to get to know the service team, they are with you each evening for a couple of hours, but yes, there are lines. Sometimes though I think some of the staff are just homesick or lonely. Our stateroom host on our Baltics cruise would talk away but I...

The last time I ordered something for my kiddos, Cruise Ship Minnie to go with their Mickeys, it was a real problem as they delivered vouchers that they had to take to the gift shop to get the Minnies only to arrive and found out they had none????? It took a while and some complaining but...

I hope so those and taking photos on an iPad are annoying. In one of those advice columns in Oprah mag someone asked if would be o.k. to take a selfie stick to funereal.

For some reason, like another poster, I think I remember thinking Grand Cayman was one where ship time and local time were different

Maybe book them a Cabana Massage while on CC or some other spa treatment on board that day. You could also treat them to a photo of them taken that day either on CC or on board when they have all the backdrops out.

Discount and Disney are words that are seldom used together :) I've always heard that opening day is the best pricing and opening day booking has been our practice. Do I check the pricing a lot after that, a few times and it's usually gone up a bit. Do I spend time making price comparisons...

We've cruised the wonder, Dream and Fantasy and haven't felt crowded on any of the ships. I was concerned about that on the newer ones but never had any issues. The mid ship pool area can be a bit hectic but I think if you'll be using that area pick and choose your times. As for the show...

We had a great afternoon at Grandeville Island. We wandered the market getting little bites to eat here and there and felt like we were on the travel channel. The shops and crafts etc. were nice to stroll through as well. We also did Capillano Forest and suspension bridge along with the hop...

I've been to WDW several times as a kiddo and couldn't wait to take my own. First visit was in '04 and we've been hooked as a family ever since. I hate to say that since then, this is our first year without a trip to the World but we are cruising so I guess that'll be o.k. There's just...

What if your passports aren't in your safe?

We road the Cozumel to Play del Carmen ferry during March and it while I don't think the seas were over roughly or anything but several folks were getting sick. Didn't affect us as we had our motion sickness patches on. We did the Excaret trip which was the reason for the ferry for us. I was...

I'm one who'll keep the KTTW card on the lanyard but in a little cross body purse. Keeping the lanyard attached makes it more noticeable if I drop it.

We're another parks before the cruise.
