    Need Thoughts: Pros and Cons of letting 8-year-old check self out

    you can allow them to only have one or the other, right? Check in privileges but NOT check OUT, right?? For some reason I thought that was the case. We'll be on deck 5 right down the way from the club, and I'd be fine if my 8 year old twins could check themselves in, but I would not be okay...

    Character question

    When my family and I chose to wander around Grand Cayman, we got turned around at one point, and weren't able to find our way back to the transport van (we had tendered in that day, and we're let off no where near the actual port). I wound up stopping to ask someone who was wearing a disney...

    I lined the inside with contact paper and it didn't bleed and could still fold them small.

    Castaway 5K - Walk?

    I started C25k a year ago. After moving half way across the country in DEC, I took a winter break from running and started again in April. Last weekend I ran 10 miles. Seriously that program is a miracle worker. It's amazing an I'm proof it!!!!!

    Palo Brunch Menu

    The chicken parm at Palo was the best dish, hands down that we ate at brunch. Also the best chicken parm I had ever had. You won't be disappointed. Dinner was fantastic, too!!

    Concierge level rooms? Why?

    We sailed on concierge on the Magic for the Space. That was the only reason. We honestly didn't take advantage of the perks. Yes, there were things left in the room for us, but for the most part, we could've gotten those things from the room service menu or cove cafe. Our hosts were super...

    Tell me your "How we surprised the kids" stories!

    We didn't tell our girls until we could see the ship from the car! We were sailing from Galveston and told my girls that we were going with their dad for a work trip. I had hidden all of our luggage and packed all of our Halloween costumes (we sailed 10/27) and they were clueless. It was a...

    How big of a must is Castaway Cay?

    Our first cruise was the Magic out of Galveston. It didn't stop at CC. We still had an amazing time. We rebooked onboard with a dummy cruise and have now set our next for the Fantasy with a stop at CC. I don't think you HAVE to CC to have a wonderful time! Grand Cayman is beautiful and...

    the HOT Now Sign is always on DCL

    They are awesome on the first day and get progressively worse as the sailing progresses! They store them in the box because on the final day of our 7 day cruise they were stocking from it, and you could definitely tell they were not fresh, lol. Still a good quality product that we love!!!

    Castaway Cay 5k Recap and Tips

    Yes!!! My thought comes in that I want to run it with my dh. Do we have to leave the kids on the boat, and then go back and get them? Are the kids clubs even open then? Do counselor a stay with kids on CC? We didn't get to stop at CC on our last DCL cruise, so I made sure our one next year...

    Anyone fly in/out of Tampa or West Palm?

    I grew up in West Palm and lived there for 28 years of my life. I've been gone since '08 but have flown back every now and then. PBi is super convenient to I-95 or tye turnpike for that matter. So, the commute shouldn't be difficult at all.

    Dumb Question: Curious about Candy

    also for the shows, if you're used to candy during a movie or a show to munch on, it'd save a bit of money. I know my kids like to snack on candy at a movie and we saw 2 or 3 while on board last time.

    Leaving a child on the boat while the rest of the family is in port

    I wouldn't go off on a big excursion without my kids, like needing bus travel or whatever. BUT, at Costa Maya, we did leave them in the club and go walk around the shops for 2 hours or so. Seriously, That's all that's really in Costa Maya anyway - my kids would've hated it or broken a ton of...
