15/15 Will hopefully be there again in a month!

Howdy all - I have not been on DisBoards in quite awhile. It makes me miss the ships too much. This will be #14 on DCL for me, DW and DD (15 going on 25). #6 for DS (11) and DS (11) - yes twins. We met a family from outside Sacramento on #12 and this will be our third cruise together as our...

2A 3C (13, 9, 9) June 21, 2014 Western 8C 10% OBB No insurance or transfers $7,510 I have a June eastern booked in an 8D in 2013 for $6,700. Maybe time to start looking at alternative vacations.

I think this post is a pretty good summary. I've spent 14 days on Castaway Cay, including one of my birthdays. Simply put, it is one of my families favorite places on earth. We went to Cocoa Cay last year, and while I was surprised that it was nicer than I expected, I don' think it holds a...

I have done the wine paring twice at Remy and thought it was great both times. I would recommend it as long as you are open to different varietals. The pairings went perfect with each course. Also, while not full pours, with the multiple glasses I was glad I din't have to drive home from...

As stated above - the prices. The "original" sail away party - the new one is awful. Pretty much all of the late night entertainment - Village People, Go-Gos, Travolta and Gloria Gainer contests. Now they have Karaoke -blah Did I mention the prices... Live music on the pool decks...

While there is nothing I would consider as a true craft beer, you won't be stuck drinking bud either. O'Gills had its own beer which I would call a red ale (I think - it has been a few months since our trip), Stella, Guinness. La Pizza has Peroni, somewhere on deck had Longboard. The bars...

You book at guest services when you get on the ship.

There is a mixology on each sea day. I did the first one and it was around 2 or 3 in the afternoon at La Piazza. Our bartenders were Sheldon from La Piazza and Phil from the Tube - both rock. I would guess there were about 30 people, since there were 6 stations with six glasses at each...

If she has a really good sense of humor, how about being picked as the young couple on Match your Mate? It is usually newlyweds, but I am sure it could be rigged to get them up there.

Interesting - I thought the sign was pretty noticeable and I really never did see any kids up there. Now, walking through QC - that was a different story.

I have seen some posts on here about differences between the Dream and the Fantasy, but nothing really comprehensive. We just got off the Fantasy last week, and I personally was extremely impressed with the changes they made, given that the ship design had to be the same. Here are the major...

We have stayed aft on both the Dream and Fantasy (just last week - Cabin 6668). Outside of when docking at a port, I really cannot say I noticed any vibrations. When they dock and use the thrusters and reverse the propellers the whole ship vibrates, so I don't think that should be a big...

I also hate to be a downer but I cannot see if happening because there are times people get stuck somewhere in the tube and they have to turn the water off so they can walk out (the tube is small enough that I would have to crawl out if it happened at 6'2"). I think you could imagine how...

I do not think there is any real set policy. My daughter was in a similar position on our Dream cruise last June. We went up to the Edge on the first day and they said no one under 11 would be allowed in because they had so many kids already within the proper age group. She had a great time...

I will send a message once I figure out how. That is unless you are a Kentucky fan!

I guess there will be a lot of Hoosiers on this cruise. We are coming from Fort Wayne. My Daughter is 11, so she is really looking forward to the Edge. Nice to know there will be some girls of a similar age. Since we are a family of 5 we typically drive down and will do so on this trip...

We went to Costa Maya back in 07 or 08 before a hurricane pretty much demolished everything. The acutal pier was destroyed and I think the port was closed for over a year. Back then there was a cheesy area where the ship docks that had a bunch of shops, a pool, and some restaurants. We took a...

Just so you don't feel too bad, I am platinum and I got the last Family Cabana at 12:04 a.m. on the first night 120 days out. They go faster than anything else.

Hey there - I posted many months ago and have not been back for awhile. Since we are Platinum I was able to book everything last Thursday night. I logged in at midnight and by 12:04 got the last family cabana on Castaway Cay. Everything else was pretty wide open and I did change my times...
