    Toddler - Pool question

    Why must this or any other rule on the ship need to be strictly enforced for folks to abide by it? If it is a rule follow it out or respect for your fellow crusiers. No different than smoking, kids in adult only areas, quiet in the hallways, being on time for dinner, not saving seats in the...

    Newly Wed Activities

    Hmmm, let me think... What could two newlyweds do on their cruise honeymoon? I might suggest a few things that we cannot do anymore now that we have three kids in the cabin with us!

    Current Movies on the Med

    La Spezia to Florence train timetable

    Cinque Terre is the way to go. Too far to Florence for just the day. Take the train to one of the Cinque Terre villages and walk between the rest. Then take the train back and the end of the day. Check out Rick Steves guide to the Cinque Terre. You will be convinced.

    August 7th, 2010 Mediterranean Cruise

    Got Palo reservation for the first sea day (Sun) last night when they opened up at midnight. A lot of the Palo dinner times and days are already taken, especially on the sea days. Also booked Carthage and Medina excursion in Tunis. The rest of the ports we are doing on our own, but this was a...

    Barcelona Hotels

    Second vote for AC Diplomatic. Since it is one of the hotels Disney is using for thier pre-cruise stays you will have the advantage of a Disney representative on hand to answer questions. You can also book Disney transfers to the ship on sailing day. We booked two rooms on our own directly on...

    Best options for purchases & cash in Europe

    The Chase Disney Visa charges 3% for foreign transactions. We just booked a private tour of the Vatican on the Aug 7 sailing and were charged an extra $10 for a $325 payment to a tour company in Rome. That $325 is for five people. Still way cheaper than the ship shore excursion.

    aft is better than forward, right??

    Actually we prefer forward because we get there first. Unless you are backing in to CC...

    August 7th, 2010 Mediterranean Cruise

    We are on the Aug 7th 11 night Med. This will be our 7th DCL cruise and first one in Europe. Dad, Mom, 2 girls (20 and 15), and boy (12). We plan on doing all ports on our own using trains, buses, subways, and taxis. The excursion prices are outragous. It is going to take a lot of planning...

    When in Rome......Gray Line???

    Or you could walk from the port to the train station and take the train to Rome for 9 euros. It is going to take quite a bit of planning, but we will be doing all Med ports on our own for the Aug 7 11 night. The excursion prices are ridiculous. Who knows, we may actually feel more like a...

    Do people write crued things on your white board?

    The most offensive things I have seen written on the white boards are examples of poor spelling. Some crued messages were written when the offender simply meant to be crude.

    Several changes on the 6/13 Western including Pirate Night and dining rotation

    We actually ended up at Carlos & Charlies late on Cozumel night last week. We found the many crew members there as well, and lets just say that they know how to have a good time. There was a mad rush back to the ship at 12:55AM. It was neat to see them off duty just being themselves and...

    Med Cruise or Not?

    We just got off of the Magic yesterday. It was our 6th DCL cruise and the best yet. While on board we re-booked for the August 7th 11-Night Med Cruise. For anyone who has done the Med with Disney before, how was it? My biggest concern is that with the short time in each port a cruise is not...

    Can video games hook up to TVs on Magic?

    What a great idea. Maybe they can order room service for meals as well and never leave the room. They will be a nice lumpy pastey white by the time the cruse is over.

    6/13/2009 Western on Magic

    Also booked Captain Marvins Stingray City and Reef Snorkel in Grand Cayman on my own. Heard it is better and cheaper than DCL excursion.

    What did you see in the snorkel lagoon?

    We mostly saw people who had no idea how to snorkel.

    Grand Cayman Stingray City & Snorkel

    Can anyone recommend the best Grand Cayman company to use for the trips that visit both Singray City and a reef for snorkeling? Would you recommend the DCL excursion or would we be better off booking on our own? Thanks.
