I did mean the WONDER and not the MAGIC for Alaska. I am so glad to hear that most everyone agrees with me. Formal Night is just that......you don't need to wear a tuxedo but at least khakis and a nice shirt !! We are not so excited about doing Disney again. The service and food was *not...

We were on the Alaska cruise last week. We are Gold Castaway Cay members and our whole family really looks forward to dressing up for dinner. My boys have tuxedos (they are reasonably priced on eBay). When we went to Formal Night dinner there were probably more people in BLUE JEANS than...

You can also get to the glacier by hiking. We did this a few weeks ago while we were in Juneau. Just keep in mind that you must be in GREAT physical shape as it is an *extreme* hike. We used Above and Beyond Alaska Tours. They picked us up at the boat (around 7 AM) and brought us back at...

We returned a few days ago from a wonderful Alaska cruise on the Disney Wonder. I wanted to share with everyone the wonderful hotel that we stayed at PRE cruise. The Hampton Inn (downtown). Our party of 5 was able to snag a 2 BR suite. It had a King size bed in each BR and a pull out sofa...

Are there plans to meet as a group and get to the Nobel Musuem ? If not, how are you all planning on getting to the museum from the boat ? I could look it up, but you guys are so helpful !!

There are TONS of taxis. The only problem with taking a taxi is that they are SMALL........They can only carry a max of FOUR people and no more than about 4 pieces of luggage. My family of FIVE took 2 taxis between the airport and port (both ways). It was about 32 EUROS one way for each one...

There were not a lot of British seniors on board. I would say the majority of the population was actually from the USA. Of course, the average age of the population was a lot older than you would find at Disney. There were a lot of senior citizens. I wondered how some of them were able to...

We just did a 7 night Royal Caribbean after previosuly doing 4 Disney Cruises. I say...........DO DISNEY !!!!!!!!!!!! It is worth every penny of the extra that it costs. The only thing that we enjoyed on the Voyager of the Seas was the rock climbing wall. The inline skating was so small...

I have read lots of data on this thread. Now it is my turn. My family has done FOUR Disney Cruises over the past 5 years (me, DH, DD-12, DS-14, DS-17). As the kids got older we thought "Gee, why don't we try RCCL. Maybe the kids are outgrowing Disney". To sum up the experience in two words...

We just got back from the Vatican Museum. We waited in line for almost TWO HOURS !! And it was very hot !! I was soaked with sweat by the time we got inside. And then it was wall to wall people all trying to get to the Sistine Chapel. I felt like a sardine. Enjoy your trip :dance3:

We are also a family of five. We have been on FIVE Disney Cruises and we have ALWAYS had our own table. This year, my kids are 16. 13 and 11. Our last Disney Cruise was 2 years ago.

We will be on that cruise. My DS 14 (almost 15) DS 11 and DD 9. Anyone interested in being a penpal before the cruise ?? Please e-mail me and I will give you their individual e-mail addresses. This will be our FOURTH Disney Cruise and 2nd Western !!

We are a family of FIVE. Have been on three DCL cruises and we have always been seated just the 5 of us. Always early seating.

We went to Mr. Sanchos last year in May. It was GREAT !! I would highly recommend it. Beach access is free. Be sure and get one of those pineapple drinks. They will give you a whole hollowed out pineapple. It makes for a GREAT picture.

Being from NC, where the tea is "sweet". The tea on the cruise is NOT sweet !!! I would say it is some version of an instant tea. NOT good !!!

We will also be on the July 3rd MAGIC !! We went on the Western last year too (in May). Mr. Sanchos is great. I would highly recommend it. This time we are doing the Dune Buggy Rides/Tour through Cozumel Homes. Anyone else ??? I am currently exloring the best beach location in Grand...

We will also be on the 7/3 MAGIC cruise. It will be our FOURTH !! It will be me, DH, DS 14, DS 11 and DD 9. My kids would love to have some friends before they get on board. They all have e-mails. Please contact me if anyone has a child who would like to get acquainted before the cruise.

I would agree that the "ship" does not feel crowded. But the pools are a totally different situation !! I have a picture of my kids packed into the Goofy pool like a can of "sardines" !! BOTH kids pools are CROWDED on at sea days. V E R Y crowded !!!!!!!! My kids won't even plan on...

WHERE might I find the link to your trip report ?? Would love to read it as we are considering a Christams cruise for next year. THANKS !!

We just got back from the WESTERN. We did the EASTERN last year. I would vote WESTERN. Swimming with the Stingrays in Grand Cayman is a "MUST DO" !! Shopping in COZUMEL is a lot of fun. Bargaining is great !! We also totally enjoyed Mr. Sanchos Beach Club. It is one of the only...
