    How bad is the scooter situation?

    I once saw a scooter parked in front of IASW with 3 DOZEN BANANAS in the front basket. Just thought i'd share.

    Port Orleans Riverside or Value Resorts

    POR is way more relaxing and comfortable than any value. We love the King bed room with the murphy bed-it fits our family perfectly. POR honestly feels closer to a deluxe than it does to a value. As far as busses go, we tend to drive between parks and meals a portion of the time anyway. Our bus...

    Port Orleans Riverside or Value Resorts

    Unless you are using Magical Express, I would stay at POR and drive to parks/meals. That's what we do.

    2016 Hilton Head FAQ and Roll Call

    Heading down Oct. 7-10. Was there for the first time two years ago the same weekend (Columbus Day) and had a spectacular time. Had reservations for last year but I-95 was closed due to flooding so we ended up in Myrtle Beach instead. Really looking forward to this trip-such a relaxing place.

    Jost Van Dyke canceled. Why? Options?

    I am thinking of booking something different-while I really want to go to JVD I don't want to be left without something to do. Not feeling confident at this point.

    Jost Van Dyke canceled. Why? Options?

    FYI- Just got off the phone with DCL and as of now the JVD excursion is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, 4/12. I will check again by phone before the 3 day window closes.

    Are Discounts Offered for DCL?

    There are discounts available, but not in the same way you would see them at the parks. Basically, the cheapest price on any given cabin on any given sailing is the price on the day that sailing is released for sale to the public. This can be 12 to 16 months in advance. As the cruise fills up...

    7600 Fantasy

    We love that general location-have stayed in 7574 and 7576, and will be in 7584 in a few weeks. We don't really need a Cat4 (just 3 of us).

    Table Sharing: Yes or No?

    For the most part we have had positive experiences with table mates on DCL and other lines. Last trip on the Fantasy the 3 of us were seated at a 4 top and I was honestly a little disappointed. We still exchange Christmas cards with people from all over the place that we cruised with decades ago.

    Child with wheat, milk, egg allergies...

    DD10 is allergic to egg/peanut/tree nut/shellfish. DW is gluten/wheat intolerant. If you are making ADRs, note your child's allergies at the time of booking. If you are walking up, tell the host/hostess about the allergies. We have done this for years at many TS restaurants all over WDW and I...

    Xel Ha in Cozumel

    Xel-ha is a very cool destination. We visited as part of a week long land trip to the Riviera Maya. You may already be aware, but you will be ferrying over to the mainland from Cozumel as part of the excursion. A 45 minute ride each way that can be very rough. It can make for a very long day if...

    Trip Insurance from DCL

    We made a claim on DCL's insurance (underwritten by Aon) last January when I fell ill 48 hours before sailing. We provided documentation from my physician and our claim was paid within 30 days.

    Just my observation....

    Ever notice passengers on other ships parked adjacent to your DCL ship just staring at it?

    Activities / Tours Sold Out on Cruise?

    I would continue to check the website for what you want. People cancel and move things around all the time. It took me two weeks of checking, but I was able to get our desired Tortola Excursion. I had missed an opportunity to book because the family couldn't make up their minds. It was sold out...

    Does anyone like the food offered at the pirate night buffet?

    Our Pirate Night routine does not really allow for the buffet. We are onshore all day, then DD10 eats early at Flo's and heads to the club/lab. We go to Meridian/Palo right around sailaway and pick up DD in time for the show and fireworks. Then off to bed since the next day is another port.

    Jost Van Dyke canceled. Why? Options?

    I wanted to book JVD for our upcoming trip (4/9). First it was available. Then it went to "sold out" and dropped to the bottom of the list with everything else that was full (they are grayed out as well) before I got a chance to confirm with the family and book it. Then it disappeared from the...

    RCL Anthem in rough storm yesterday

    A lot of people up in metro NY look at driving to FL as taking too long. They also could be afraid of flying. There is a big market for RCCL sailing out of Bayonne. I suspect that those people will be glad to get on an airplane the next time the go on vacation. I could never see sailing out of...

    Magen's Bay on a 4 ship day?

    Get there early and you will be fine. It was getting crazy when we left around 2PM but we had gotten there soon after 9. Sleep in on a sea day.
