    Mardi Gras/Coca-Cola Promotion?

    Does anyone have the UPC code for the 2015 promotion (has it changed?) . Again it requires a UPC code from a specially marked 20 or 24 pack coke , in exchange for up to 3 months free on a new Florida Resident Annual Pass. Thanks!

    Digital Camera Recommendations for Cruise?

    I have a Canon Powershot A60 and have just ordered a A75. I highly recommend them. Why I like them: 1) they use AA batteries. You can buy 4 rechargable NIMH AA batteries with a charger for under $20. This compares to proprietary battery packs which are much more expensive. 2) they...

    Florida Residents Discount

    Disney did offer FL Resident Discounts on a few select June 2004 cruises. The discounts were very limited and sold out within 2 hours. I know cause I got one cat 9 on the June 26, 2004 Magic Western. The discounts are not as good as in 2003 due to the positive rebound in travel and the lack...

    If you downgrade your category, is there a charge

    Has anyone ever offered to accept a downgrade at the port? I'm traveling on a full 7 day cruise in a Cat 9. I have sailed catagories 5-11 before. I like the better catagories, but if Disney offered me an appropriate onboard credit (?$500 for a cat 9 to 11 switch?) I'd be glad to make...

    Park at Radisson or at DCL

    Used to always park at Radisson and ride the free shuttle. However, lately , it is difficult to get an early (before noon) shuttle. In that case I have driven from the Radisson to the Port, dropped the luggage and family, then drove back to the Radisson and parked, then waited on a space...

    Internet Cafe - GoToMyPC?

    Gotomypc works just fine. I've used it on multiple cruises. The uplink speed is just fine. There is some latency, but it is acceptable, still much much faster than dialup in a hotel. Of course, get the unlimited internet package if you are going to do this. It is about $90 for the 7 day...

    Which Eastern Carib. excursions for young kids?

    Yes, you can walk to the tram ride in St. Thomas. 10 minutes. Not a difficult walk. They take credit cards and price is same as DCL. Just go through the shopping center at the port to the main road and take a left. you can't miss it.

    Which Eastern Carib. excursions for young kids?

    I'd recommend the Oceanears Club and Lab excursions... if you and your kids want you can get off the ship and Walk around at the pier in St Maarten and perhaps do the tram ride up the mountain in St Thomas. My kid loved this. In my experience (half a dozen cruises with a kid 3-5) this is the...

    Onboard Booking Reinstatement

    I was on the Magic recently and rebooked. I had to wait an hour in line. Is wasn't all DCL's fault, one couple ahead of me took like 30 minutes, changing their dates several times, asking about the weather, hurricane patterns etc. After I booked I know have found out the agent in training...

    Cozumel Mini Golf is GREAT!!!!!

    Just got back from the Nov 8, 2003 Western. I highly recommend Cozumel Minigolf. http://www.cozumelminigolf.com/ We did the jeep safari tour during the day, then did some shopping, then did the Minigolf, and still had time to make it back for the 8:30 dinner. The minigolf is not far...

    Why does the search function always seemed to be disabled?

    Would be nice to be able to queue your search and have the results emailed to you. Then the server could wait till the load was light to actually do the search.

    Internet Cafe Question

    gotomypc definately works, and it works well. The speed is amazing. I was able to connect to my office computer at work, then use the modem on my office computer to connect to an information service only available by dial up. Using gotomypc, you can even print things out on your office...

    has anyone seen dry dock pictures yet???

    Recieved this email from my Mother in Law today: "Thought you might enjoy the photos of the Disney Magic in dry dock. We sailed into Norfolk today and I couldn't believe my eyes! Here was this huge cruise ship that looked like a Disney ship. And, lo and behold, there she was--the Magic...

    Two way radios

    I highly recommend 2 way radios. Recommend motorola with vibrating alert feature, as when you are on deck 9, you won't always hear the audio alert. The difference between the 2 and 5 mile range is really overrated. It is far more a feature of your altitude and obstructions. I'd just go with...

    Anyone know why no character bkfst on 3/4 day

    I've done dozens of Character Breakfasts and thought the ones on DCL Magic were just fine (I've done 5 of them). Always have had the late seating and they go fine.

    cell phones

    AT&T Digital One Rate I noticed that AT&T digital one rate (all USA, no roaming, no long distance) plans now include St. Thomas. I've found the pay phones in St. Thomas a pain to use. They require 50 cents even for 800 numbers and frequently block access to certain prepaid phone cards...

    Gotta Love SprintPCS!!

    DisneyBusDriverToo, I was on the May 17, 2003 Eastern Magic! So even though I'm sad that I had to leave, I'm glad my disboard/Magic Internet Cafe cookie is still sailing around the Carribean! To keep on topic: I used to fret about calling home, finding out if my AT&T digital one rate plan...

    Gotta Love SprintPCS!!

    Well...umm.....I have the Sprint national plan with roaming and long distance included so there won't be any extra charges....gotta love that! Also, while at home (Orlando, FL) Sprint PCS service is great, with the exception of Walt Disney World property. It works in most areas, but there...
