    Magic band shipping is bananas!

    According to the tracker on mine, the bands arrived at my local PO in Upstate NY, but instead of making it onto a delivery truck, they got shipped back out to NJ!!! It took almost 2 weeks to get the bands for my upcoming trip as opposed to 3-4 days in the past.

    Tipping Concierge...

    Rather than give you the vague "at your discretion" answer, I'll tell you what we typically do... :) We've cruised concierge on the Dream 3 nighters, so please keep that timeframe in mind too. Typically the bartender learns what you like, often has a drink ready for you when they see you...

    Anyone Heard of a possible refurb at AKV adding the pull down bed in the studio to make a 5 ?

    Lol, I guess I'm the minority in favor of the murphy beds! With a blended family my teenage DD and stepson are not sharing a bed. So, the murphy solves someone having to sleep on the floor on an airmat. My little family is twice as big as it was when I bought into DVC - but buying more points...

    How Young is Too Young?

    DD was 6 months on her first cruise and will be 18 months on the next. We all had a blast. Yes, it was a change to our usual vacation rhythm, but unlike touring the parks with a cranky little one, we could easily head back to the room while the older kids (teens) went to find other things to do...

    Car seats

    I'm guessing you are not parking the rental in the garage then, lol. My original answer was to leave them in the car at port... Thats my plan!

    How to keep frizzy hair looking good on a cruise.. Any tips?

    The only thing that has worked on my frizzy red hair is this amazing device: Cortex Vapor Steamliner flat iron http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00BT01XE2?pc_redir=1407738843&robot_redir=1 I tried everything... Even "Crack"! Nothing has come close to this! For the first time ever my hair is pin...

    Jacuzzi Bath in Suites

    I am a clean freak, and I found the jacuzzi tub in the suite to always be impeccably clean.

    Is Concierge worth the additional $$$?

    For us, yes it is worth it on the Dream. We have 2 teens and a baby, so having the extra space in a single cabin is worth it. Not to mention the relaxing lounge where I plan to be spending time with the little one if things get too overstimulating for her (and me!). It's also nice to have an...

    Studio question for AKV, Kidani

    Yes, we do this all the time since my tern daughter and teen step son aren't sharing a pull out. Its cozy at bedtime, lol, but easily stored when not in use.

    Dirtiest DVC resort?

    As an owner at AKV it pains me to say that AKV Jambo house was the only place I've had issues with cleanliness, and with both rooms we had reserved! The front desk took care of it, but not the quality I expected to introduce my in-laws to :-(

    DCL raises minimum sailing age to 6 months

    My guess is the viruses that have been running rampant on cruises could be fatal to babies that haven't had all their shots and have weaker immune systems. It makes sense from a medical liability standpoint. My DD will be 6 months on our cruise and will have her shots week before we leave. It's...
