    Walking off with luggage instead of not...

    For our last cruise, we had early dining, so ate breakfast in the MDR (Animator's Palate) at 7:00. There was no line to get off and no line at customs. We caught a shuttle to the rental car place and were at our hotel by 10:30. This included the line at the rental car company. Honestly, the...

    Now that I have booked... Please help with advice about trip insurance !

    We need pre-existing coverage, but we booked a placeholder. Does the time limit start when we booked the placeholder or when we finally decide on our dates and put the full deposit down?

    10yo in Edge

    On our first cruise 3 years ago, my son was a month shy of 11, and he wasn't allowed to age up. He hated the Lab and wouldn't go, so we spent the entire cruise with him. This most recent cruise, a month shy of 14, he loved the Edge and we practically only saw him at meals and on port days. It...

    Tell me about parasailing at Castaway Cay

    We did this last week. It was the most amazing experience and I can't wait to try it again. I'm mildly afraid of heights, and I loved it. We were cancelled the first time we signed up for it because of the winds. And all parasailing later in the day than us was also cancelled as the winds...

    Do they show the Football playoffs on the ships?

    Great idea. I just checked, and yes, they showed the playoffs on Funnelvision! My son will be happy watching on the big screen there with all the pizza and ice cream he can eat. He'll be 14, and will be able to eat quite a bit, as he did on this cruise. First time I ever heard him say he was...

    Do they show the Football playoffs on the ships?

    Thanks. Christmas time wouldn't be playoffs, so if they show regular season games, that is a good sign they'd show the playoffs.

    Do they show the Football playoffs on the ships?

    We just got off the Wonder and booked a placeholder. We're considering a Southern Caribbean in January, but my son is football obsessed and wants to know if they'll show the playoffs on the ships. They aren't on ABC/ESPN, so I'm curious if they'll show them if they're on CBS and Fox. Will it...

    Dieting and cruising. Mixed emotions.

    My DH & I are on weight watchers (he's at goal) and we've discussed what we'll do. We'll probably use the stairs, possibly workout daily and eat what we want in moderation.

    Have You Ever Experienced a "Bad" Cruise? Really?

    We did have a "bad" cruise. It was our honeymoon on NCL. The ship was in bad repair, paint was chipping, the food was awful and there was nothing to do. We were bored the entire time we were on the ship. The pool was dirty and small. The staff weren't helpful and many were rude. We've never...

    For those of you flying to PC, did you already book your flights? If not, when do you normally book them?

    First timer, first world problem? How do I not eat too much and get sick?

    On our last cruise, we didn't use the elevator, only the stairs. And we walked the track around the ship at least once per day. I found I didn't gain any weight even though I ate what I wanted.

    What do you do at Grand Cayman?

    The first time, we did Hell and the Turtle Farm. That was on a different cruise line. Last time, we did Stingray City. I can't recommend that enough. It was so cool to be right up close with the stingrays.

    Disney Wonder Re-imagined March 4, 2018

    Hi all! I just booked our spring break cruise. This will be our second Disney Cruise and my 4th cruise. My DH & I did a cruise for our honeymoon, and it stopped at St. Maarten, but I was so sick by that time (I got a bad ear infection) that I don't remember it. I think we just went to the...

    Has anyone ever upgraded BEFORE cruise but not at port

    I don't know exactly how it happened as our travel agent handled it all. And yes, it was after the paid in full date. This will be our first cruise with DCL so we're letting the TA handle everything.

    Has anyone ever upgraded BEFORE cruise but not at port

    We upgraded about 3 weeks before our trip and we got a much better rate than if we had booked that room originally. I don't think they owe anyone a refund, as you are paying the price for the room you want. We just called to see if we could get a better category room and were surprised at how...

    March 15, 2015 MAGIC Cruise!! :)

    My husband is from Wisconsin and therefore is a Packers fan, as is my son. So I don't know that he'd be interested in meeting Packers fans ;-)

    March 15, 2015 MAGIC Cruise!! :)

    My son and I were asking Siri about the weather for Key West and Port Canaveral. While it is nice weather finally here in Minnesota, the forecast is even nice for there!

    March 15, 2015 MAGIC Cruise!! :)

    I don't run. Is it acceptable to walk the 5K? Or is it more of a competitive/running only 5K?
