    So - We need to bring our own cups?

    On our last cruise, which was a 14 night TA cruise, I gave insulated cups with lids and straws as my FE gift. I personalized them for each person in the cabin and put a Mickey head on it. I made 157 cups. I will say that we saw well over a hundred of those cups in use consistantly. We loved...

    Every city in US has it's pros and cons...but when someone previously states they are from New Orleans and are excited that DCL may be cruising from there, there is absolutely no need to be rude and hurtful. Just saying.. And BTW, I'm excited...we can drive to New Orleans and it's one...

    Kids running around ship unsupervised

    I totally agree!! I have an 11 year old that I allowed the freedom of checking herself in and out of the kids club during our cruise. I found it difficult to not allow her that privlege when she had walked the 1.5 kilometers to school alone for a year prior with no issues. I also have a 6...

    Our EBTA next year is $210 dollars a day for our family...or around $53 a day each!! We did book while we were on a cruise and got the discount, and that does not include airfare! We love the repositioning cruises...longer and much less expensive!!! We couldn't stay at a Hampton Inn and eat...

    Hotels in Barcelona? Any advice/suggestions?

    Hi there! We just got back from the EBTA! We stayed at a Novotel-Cornella. It was a 25 euro taxi fare from the port and a 20 euro fare to the airport. It was in a slightly more business section of town but the metro was only 2-3 blocks from the hotel and very easy to manage! One 10 minute...

    "Jetlag" on the EBTA -- how bad was it?

    We just came back from the EBTA. I have an 11 year old and a 6 year old. We found the time change actually much easier than we had anticipated. I read that if you keep your meal times on time things would be easier, so we did. I made the girls get up every morning and have breakfast with by...

    What's with all of the "adults only" stuff on the DISNEY cruises?

    FE gifts

    My FE's won't fit for our EBTA in May so I am going to put them in those mesh laundry bags from the dollar store and hang them from the fish or the door. I figured that I would spend a dollar on a gift bag, so I may as well go ahead and use something that would be useful during the cruise...
