    activites at Freeport, Cozumel?

    Hi, we're cruising next week with RCCL, not Disney, but these Boards are SO superior to RCCL's. Besides, we've done 2 Disney cruises in the past and will be back for more. Anyway, we will be stopping in Freeport instead of Labadee, because of the unrest in Haiti. We do not wish to take any...

    Cruise forum for Royal Caribbean Line?

    Just wondering if any of you know of a great forum for the RCCL. I have found this site to be chock full of great tips. We've done 2 Disney cruises and are doing the Mariner of the Seas in November. Just wondering if anyone knows of good, "unofficial" info sites for that cruise line. If...

    Trip Report / Opinions - Wonder 7/3

    we too are Georgians! We have done 2 Disney cruises...that's all. We very much want to do more cruises, but I can't imagine doing another Disney cruise. I had a good time, but for the money, I think we can have just as good of a time on another line. Some of the things, like the shows, were...

    Has anyone ever stayed at the Atlantis for vacation???

    I don't know anything about staying AT the place, but a cab ride down there is usually $4 per person. I know we took a cab from there back to the ship and it was $16 for 4 people. You can't walk to the Straw Market...too far. I guess you could take mopeds, but with the way those cabbies and...

    3 year olds not potty trained

    I personally would be more concerned that my child would not be able to use the pools, rather than the kids clubs. I mean, he won't even know about the clubs unless you take him, but he WILL see that pool and want to be IN it. You are a brave person to book a trip in the hopes that your small...

    how often does Captain/Crew change?

    We're just back from 4/6 Wonder. We went last in Sept. of /02. The captain was different this time and the cruise director was too. On our Sept. cruise, Rachel was CD, but this time she was introduced as "assistant" CD. How often do the ships change captains and major crew? zbuddy

    Just back from April 6-10 Wonder

    I had hoped to read a few trip reports from our fellow cruisers...but then very few "signed in" here prior to the trip, so maybe they don't follow the Boards. Don't be too hard on DCL because the "magic" was not there as on previous trips to Disneyland. Maybe a bit of it had to do with your...

    Just back from April 6-10 Wonder

    This was our second Wonder cruise. DH, DS (15) and myself. We drove from our home in GA and stayed precruise at the Radisson. Last time we could not get DS out of the pool, this time could not get him IN the pool. Go figure those teens! Radisson was absolutely packed with guests and several...

    Anyone sailing on the Wonder April 6-10?

    I know the boat will be full...but you are right, they are not DISers! Too bad, they are missing out on a lot of good info. So we have some Buckeye's, some Pittsburgh/Thomas the Tank Engine folks, some teens from MI, and us GA'ns with the green Hootie hats on board. That's enough for a party...

    Teen Junkanoo Jam Question

    Most of the kids I saw on the Jam wore jean shorts and tank tops or tshirts. My son wore a bathing suit and tshirt. Most all had on sandals or tennis shoes. Very casual! zbuddy in GA (only 11 more days till we sail again!)

    Packing-call me crazy....

    if you can get all your clothes in your carryons...but why would you want to be bothered rolling/carrying all that around until your room is ready? You will get on the ship and go to lunch before your rooms are ready, do you want to have to deal with luggage and go through buffet lines? You may...

    Anyone sailing on the Wonder April 6-10?

    I'm on it. If we start changing the way we live life, the terrorists have won! I am sure security will be tight...but I feel safe. On our last cruise they had police boats in the port that even pulled over a pleasure boater that got too close. At the port in Nassau, there was a Navy vessel next...

    teens on board?

    Oh, my son will be SO excited...he's almost 16..and he is hoping for lots of other teens. When we went in September, it was after school had started, so there were some teens, just not a whole lot. This is probably going to be spring break for a lot of kids, so the boat should be hopping! He...

    Anyone sailing on the Wonder April 6-10?

    There HAVE to be more folks going...my niece, a travel agent, told me the boat will be full! Went today to get a bathing suit for DS...it's getting real! Just praying for sun...we are washing away in GA. Look for my DH in his green "Hootie" hat...in support of the Augusta National's battle with...

    Anyone sailing on the Wonder April 6-10?

    17 days??? That's all that's left?! It will be here before we know it and I have lots to do. Renting out house while we are gone (to Masters Tournament guests)..so lots to do around house, plus pack for cruise. If it is your first cruise, pack 1/2 as many clothes as you think you'll need and...

    Questions from first-time cruisers

    I would not leave kids that young alone in the room. It can still take you a while to get to the room in a hurry if you had to. Use the kids clubs! Even if the kids don't want to be there at night, I'll bet they will love it during the day and give you and DH plenty of alone time. I would...

    Ladies who cruise: what outfits work for you?

    I took capri pants in white, khaki and black and casual and nice tops (and shoes) to go with each. These were perfect for even the dining room at night. I took only one dress, and never wore it. If I had gone to Palo's, I probably would have. A light wrap or sweater is good because sometimes the...

    Do my teens need charging privledges(sp?) to get a drink at common grounds?

    I know my 15 yo had a drink mug purchased for him and that kept him hydrated! But that was just soda. He used his charging priviledges to get some nonalcholic strawberry dacquiris, so I guess you can get some other tropical type of drink, without alcohol. I think the dacquiris were about $4 or...
