I used to worry about this, but don’t anymore. I simply carry a small backpack with ponchos for the family (less weight than umbrellas and not as bulky). The rain can actually be a welcome relief if you go in the summer like we usually do. It cools things off and clears out the crowds. One year...

Ironically, not only were we supposed to be on this same cruise, but we were also planning to spend four nights at Disneyland. (I haven’t been to Disneyland since 1988.) Living on the east coast, we figured that as long as we were flying across the continent, we may as well take advantage...

According to this chart, the Disney Wonder will be sailing right by Bonaire (which is an island next to Aruba and Curaçao in the same island group). We actually had a week-long scuba diving trip planned in Bonaire for just last week. (We were originally supposed to fly home two days ago.) Of...

Right, this is what I was told as well. We had an Alaska cruise booked for August 2020 that was booked with an OBB discount back in May 2019. This cruise has not been cancelled (yet). However, in just a few days we will go past the cancellation date (which is unchanged even though the PIF date...

Looks like we are! We were actually supposed to be on the 8/31/2020 Alaska cruise, but booked this one as a backup in early March just in case. Good thing we did, as I am getting ready to cancel the 8/31/2020 cruise.

When we travel, we normally never unpack our suitcases. We just live out of suitcases, usually placing them on suitcase racks. I quickly found out that this doesn't work on cruises. In a typical stateroom, especially if you have more than two people, you simply don't have room for this. We...

We've been on several cruises out of Port Canaveral, and always go to WDW before and after the cruise. We take our time getting off the ship, but are still at our resort by late morning. We are usually in a park by noon or so. On our most recent cruise out of NYC, we stopped in Port Canaveral...

We were at Serenity Bay this past May on the Fantasy, and again on October 30th on the Magic. We thought Serenity Bay was in better shape now than it was back in May. It was also much less crowded (probably because we were on a smaller ship). In May, there was a steep slope where the loungers...

I just wanted to note that our stateroom ended up being absolutely perfect, and the proximity to the laundry room was a complete non-issue. (We were a few doors down from the laundry room.) In fact, it ended up being a positive feature...the proximity to the laundry room made it very easy to pop...

I was on the same cruise last week and asked our stateroom host if we could get a paper Navigator each night. He readily agreed. The next morning (on the first sea day), he saw me walking back to our room with another copy of the Navigator that I had picked up from Guest Services. I mentioned...

For me, no dizziness or drowsiness, but you will almost certainly get dry mouth. (That's actually one of its intended purposes -- scopolamine is given to patients before surgery to dry up secretions as well as to reduce nausea.) I've never had any issue with alcohol and the scopolamine patches...

Agree with what everyone else has said. I've done the following: Whiskey tasting on Dream Martini tasting on Fantasy Rum tasting on Magic Mixology on Magic All were very good. I've booked at the last minute by checking with Guest Services, and cancelled at the last minute as well. (On one...

Our doctor must be more conservative. She won't prescribe any more than is needed for a given cruise. We usually only get three patches each. However, this doesn't always work out, because sometimes they fall off early.

I always let them know using the special services form (available at the bottom of the online check-in forms), but mainly just so I can get a gallon of distilled water for my CPAP. I've never had an issue with the power or electrical outlets on the two ships I've used it on so far. I haven't...

We were on the Fantasy in May, and just got off the Magic yesterday, so I am well-equipped to comment. :earsboy: 1. On the Magic last week, we also noticed the desserts were much larger than I have noticed before. I also remember them frequently offering a trio of three even smaller dessert...

I would try to get that prescription filled sooner rather than later, as there have reportedly been shortages of the Scopolamine transdermal patches lately. My Mom was unable to get her prescription filled before our May cruise.

I don't currently have an AP, but I am a DVC member and I paid with a Disney Visa card. Either of the latter two should have gotten me a 20% discount according to this, but I didn't think to ask. :rolleyes: (And I'm usually very good about asking...)

We were on the DCL cruise last week that sailed out of NYC and stopped in Port Canaveral midway through the cruise. My wife and I got up very early on the port day (10/31), made it through customs, got on the DCL bus from PC to WDW, and were dropped off at Epcot. We entered the park, rode...

Yes – we ask our family doctor to prescribe them for each of us before a cruise.

Ditto for me and my wife. When I was younger, I never used to get motion sick, but now it seems I do, especially in heavier seas. On our last two cruises, I've not been fast enough in replacing patches (after 3 days of use and/or when they fall off), and I've gotten seasick both times. (I...
