    Door Magnets

    I put 2" magnets in each corner of my photos for them to stick to the doors. Some still fell off or slid down the door. My photos were about 4 x 6 for reference.

    Private wireless network?

    Ok, dumb question coming your way...if the kids have iPads hooked up to it, where are the movies coming from? If they are downloaded onto their iPads,why do they need a router?

    Allowing DD (10) and friend (9) to roam ship?

    I think these are great rules! Good place to start when talking to the girls. I just want to thank everyone for the great replies. I read every single one of them and took everyone's opinions to heart. Everyone had valid points and different experiences. I grew up in Canada during the...

    Allowing DD (10) and friend (9) to roam ship?

    Yep, this is exactly what I am going through right now. She has been going to Girl Scout camp since age 6. I don't know those camp counselors, anything could happen there. So does that mean I don't send her? No, I understand that something horrible could happen at anytime, but I can't keep...

    How is a cruise ship any different from an amusement park? Isn't the park worse because some creep could have his car in the parking lot and drive off with your kid.

    Allowing DD (10) and friend (9) to roam ship?

    I think that it's a great way for a kid to prove responsibility. She would have to keep in almost constant contact with me to be allowed very far away on the ship.

    Allowing DD (10) and friend (9) to roam ship?

    Hi Abdmom! :yay::yay: I have read the article. I don't think that age is going to change the risk of something like this happening on board. Look at what happened to that 16 year old. That being said, it was never my intention to allow my DD to wander by herself. She would only be allowed...

    Allowing DD (10) and friend (9) to roam ship?

    Thanks! That was exactly what I was looking for. I want to be start off slowly or "baby steps" like you had said. She is finally allowed to play on our driveway with her basketball hoop without me there and was just allowed this year to ride her bike 5 minutes to school as long as she is with...

    Allowing DD (10) and friend (9) to roam ship?

    Thank you for all of the replies! I just wanted to emphasize that it was never my intention to allow my child to wander around the ship completely unsupervised at all times. We have been on the cruise before and didn't let her out of our sight. I was simply trying to feel out what others...

    Allowing DD (10) and friend (9) to roam ship?

    I am wondering how others have handled keeping in contact with their kids while onboard. If we allow our child to sign herself out of the Kids club, to go to, say, the pool, how would we keep track of where she is? She would not have the wave phone with her on the Aqua Duck so how do we keep...

    Earliest disembarkation time - Fantasy

    Well, our porter did take us directly to a customs agent. Might not have been your experience, but it did happen to us.

    Earliest disembarkation time - Fantasy

    When we left our Magic cruise, we used one of the porters who was offering his services to help us locate our luggage. He then brought us to the front of the line for customs. Might be an idea to do that. I would also recommend hiring a private car service to take you to the airport so that...
