    Any word on how Castaway Cay is doing?

    Just got off the dream and was very thankful to spend all day at Castaway. The snorkeling lagoon was not open. The crew told us it was due to the lifeguard stations needing to be reinforced. We just snorkeled in the family beach part and saw tons of stingrays. The island definitely shows signs...

    DCL food that you know you shouldn't love...but you do!

    The corned beef hash. Crazy I know, but the cruise is the only time I eat it and I always look forward to it.

    Any word on how Castaway Cay is doing?

    I would love to know, too. We head there next week and I'm hoping it is still in one piece. This has been rough for the Bahamas today! Wowzers! Praying everyone is safe!

    Thanks so much for the info, Maggie'sMom. I figure every bit of a benefit, even if it is just $20 will be a help :)

    Question on cruising with a big family

    We aren't a huge family, but we are too big to fit in one room...6 of us. I have read that an adult has to be booked in each stateroom. Our son will be just one year shy of adulthood. If you book two staterooms, are we allowed to put our kids in one, and hubby and I stay in another? Does DCL...

    A WONDERful first cruise experience (ALASKA - Sept. 1-7) Photo links fixed!

    Yay! Hope you enjoy! I honestly loved our room. We had an inside cabin, room #5001. It was an inside room with a side orientation, and reviews have stated that the room appears bigger because of the orientation of it. This being our first cruise, I couldn't compare, but I really enjoyed it. We...

    Kid's clubs & pools on Alaska cruise

    Pools were empty on our trip - we sailed Sept. 1. One or two kids in them at a time because it was so cold. I imagine as others have already mentioned, it largely depends on the weather which can be drastically different from year to year. I would venture to say that the ship pretty much emptied...

    Alaska Excursions--post your reviews here!

    My dh and I sailed the wonder Sept. 1, 2014 to Alaska. Amazing trip! All my excursions were booked independently. In Skagway we booked a tour with Dyea Dave. I found him on cruise critic by accident and he has wonderful reviews. I didn't want to pay the expense for the train ride, so at first...

    Fish Extenders-Be Honest

    My husband and I sailed Alaska last September (our first Disney cruise...first ever cruise actually) and I decided to do the FE. We went without our 4 kids on this trip, but I thought if we did the FE it would give us some things to bring back to the kids that would be unique...plus I had a lot...
