    Where do you buy Custom Tee Shirts

    Over the many years of cruising with Disney I have seen families / groups with matching tee shirts. Where do you get them from. I am thinking that the family will be wearing matching tee shirts on embarkation day this year

    Just a quick recap and another note: For dinner's you and your group is assigned a dining rotation you have a Time, Restaurant, Table and most importantly your Dinning Team for each night (the restaurants will change, your servers will not!). Your first night at dinner your Server and the...

    Canada Entry Requirements (San Diego to Vancouver / Hawaii / Alaska)

    We looked at the Canadian entry requirements (fully vaccinated, etc). They also require a COVID test 24-72 hours before entering the country. We contacted DCL about this requirement and asked if they will be doing onboard testing before arriving in Canada. We are on the Hawaii to Vancouver...

    What is the better month to sail to Alaska (weather, less rain and warmer)

    In Ketchikan there is a mountain that the locals use to figure out what the weather will be for the day ... If they can't see the top in the morning, it's going to rain If they can see the top of the mountain, It's going to rain!

    What To Do In San Juan, Puerto Rico?

    I assume this is your first trip to San Juan and it's a Port Day vs an Embarkation / Disembarkation port (ship docks in different locations depending) For a day trip in Puerto Rico, I would probably stay in Old San Juan and everything is walkable if you are mobile. If you have mobility issues...

    Which European trip is the best for 10-12 yrs old?

    We unfortunately did NOT go to either the Vasa or the ABBA museums while in Stockholm - those are for next time ... there WILL be a next time ... right?!!!. We did an excursion to the royal palace and then a boat ride. We had several hours in the afternoon free and could have gotten to those...

    Which European trip is the best for 10-12 yrs old?

    I really really loved our Med Cruises - we have visited a LOT of very interesting cities / sites. And we also spent a week in Rome / Florence / Venice before our first Med Cruise. That being said, I think that the Northern Europe (rt Dover to St Petersburg) cruise was more interesting ... and...

    Seasick tips, please :)

    Here's a link to something that I've posted many times over the past 15 years or more. It's "Old" information - pre 2010 .... Everything you wanted to know about Motion Sickness remedies I don't know if anyone has mentioned staying on deck 2 mid ship - it's the place that usually will have...

    Forecast of thunderstorms any moral support?

    Many years ago ... in a January we were at CC on a day when it was Cold, Very Windy and Rainy ALL Day. We didn't get off of the ship because of the wind and temperature. So it CAN happen (all day yicky). I'm not sure that even Cookies was up and running. All excursions were probably cancelled...

    surprise "upgrade" that we didn't want

    first thing - I take Dramamine every day on a cruise ... and a "double up" if I have a snorkeling or boat excursion the next day (half dose before bed and the normal full dose every morning) Second: on 20+ cruises on DCL, 85% have been deck 2 mid ships ... starboard side .... those are "OUR...

    Parking in Vancouver

    Several years ago we drove to Vancouver for our cruise and we parked at the airport ... I think that we got a really good deal (on line, reserved) in their long term / economy lot. We then took the Canada line that dropped us off about 2 blocks from the port. Even with the Canada line fare -...

    Is an extended veranda worth $800 for a 4 day cruise?

    I will agree with the others, unless you are going to spend a lot of time out there, I would go for the savings. The Biggest reason for YOU not to get the larger veranda this time is that you said that this is your first cruise. I don't think that you will be spending that much time in your...

    Just received a text from DCL

    I think that the take-away is that the Bahamas is Closed (including private islands) unless you are fully vaccinated. I also saw this weekend that DCL will ONLY be stopping at Castaway Cay - No Nassau in the near future. And yes, it sounds like people have been arriving at the port withOUT...

    So will cruises be going to Nassau now?

    and "Cruises to nowhere" are not legal out of US ports. So they gotta go somewhere and back in a short time period

    Barcelon questions

    our first trip to BCN we got a multi day ticket to the Turistic Hop on/off bus. back then there were 3 different routes (with some overlap). Automated narration in several languages. Great overview of the city and one of the ways to get around. The last time we were there we used the subway ...

    And away we go!

    Been there, "Done That"!! Not exactly a mess up but a Long, Long Time Ago, in a World that had not yet heard of 9/11 ... We were on the LAST Cruise where the Magic was the ONLY ship in the fleet. We disembarked, and spent the day at Kennedy Space Center and the night in Cocoa Beach. The...

    And away we go!

    "I read what you (DCL/CDC/WHO/Florida/Courts) said, but WHAT does it MEAN!!!" - We all don't speak medical-ese, or understand corporate double speak or what might appear to be contradictory statements

    And away we go!

    Over the past year and a half as we've had cruises cancelled, then moved them to a different date, DCL told us that they are booking rooms at a MUCH LOWER capacity. Specifically our cruise that was supposed to go in June (Caribbean) when moving a different cruise we asked the question of "Who...

    Safe to rely on Uber/Lyft for Port Canaveral?

    There's Go Port Canaveral (or at least used to be), where they would pick you up from MCO, take you to the coast and drop you off at your hotel, then the next morning pick you and and take you to the port. Shared van (they were towing a trailer for all of the luggage) Lots of options of...

    Land & Sea in Alaska?

    I think that Princess has one way cruises between Seward (Anchorage) and Vancouver. On the Anchorage end there is an "add on" where you take a train trip to Denali with stops at several lodges along the way. It's been years and years ago when I looked into this. The Train trip looked fun and the...
