    Has Anyone's Teens down the "Wild Side Teen Adventure" on CC ??

    My Daughter who is 14 just did it on the wonder in early Oct. there was maybe 10-12 teens that went. she enjoyed it very much, got a small backpack as a part of it. the best part she said was the powerboat ride. she's not exceptionally outgoing, but the councilors were great. She did go to...

    October cruise???

    The scariest thing is the volume of the dance parties. No, they will not get scared by anything, unless of course they do get scared by the characters normally as some children do. We enjoyed our October cruise, though it rained one day for about an hour or two.

    10/1 Double Dippers...Were you also amazed at SB???

    We also were on 10/1 and went to SB in the afternoon on the second CC day. I was surprised with the amount of people still there at 2:30 pm. we tried snorkeling but the waves were pretty strong for us. Family beach was much easier both CC days for snorkeling. we brought our 18 month son and...

    Small World or Dreams Unlimited?

    I have used a Small World agent 2 times and gift cards as well, and it went off without a hitch. it wasn't necessarily simple because of the gift cards, but we were able to communicate clearly and do everything with no issues, including a small refund for taxes. We used Lori.

    i can't figure this out.....

    I would say probably food is the factor. at the gym, there's no buffet, where people are touching things and then putting their hands in their mouths. if everyone at the gym licked their hands during their workouts, I think you'd find similar rates of illness.

    First time sailors

    That 5 night Wonder would probably be a great itinerary for a first time cruise if you can swing the cost. i'd also vote for either a Oceanview OR even better a Verandah, if it fits the budget. Book it yourself or let one of the recommended agents do it for you, there's not much difference...

    Bug repellent advice?

    WE have no qualms using a higher deet (25-30 - even 40% on clothes and covered areas) for short term (few days in a row). but also, and/or alternatively, 'Repel Lemon Eucalyptus' works very well for us with no deet.

    Cove Cafe is supposed to be adults only...

    I think people have a right to believe the rules should be followed and enforced. A lot of the violations of these rules are pretty minor and not high impact, so I think people just let it go or simmer silently. I believe if everyone discreetly and POLITELY pointed out violations to a...

    CB's Shuttle experiences

    we used Cocoa Beach Shuttle about 2 yrs ago, to a mixed recommendation, and had a poor experience getting to Port. getting back to MCO was fine. I don't have a recommendation but i do recall seeing SuperShuttles everywhere.

    Did Shutter raise their prices?

    I'm not seeing the 20 print option available for prepurchase. anybody know if that is no longer an option across the board, or is that just me? it's a 5 day.

    How much spending money

    I must agree here, we brought in ice cream cones and a wrap, which is quieter and smells less than popcorn at a normal theater. I hope that was in jest. and i agree it's tough to know how much spending money. even simple souveniers can range 10 - 50 bucks a pop. I'd plan $75 per day i...

    Booking your airfare?

    I think the advice i've most often heard is right away , 330 days to 7 months out, else wait to right around 3 months out. those seem to be the lowest normal pricing times. at any rate, set it and forget it. once you book, never look again :)

    Prohibited from taking pictures

    in my experience, when ever security or TSA tell me to do something, they don't often do it 'politely'. i don't take it personal because I think it's their job to leave no doubt that this is the rule and not up for debate or discussion. I just choose to interpret it as them just being 'very...

    Turtle farm grand caymen ?

    We did the full DCL tour with the park and snorkeling included. the snorkeling is nothing special, very beginner and not much to see, but we enjoyed walking around and the turtle farm. the little waterpark with slides looked fun but we ran ourselves out of time.

    Don't want to dine

    Feel free to order Chicken Strips and Mickey Bars every-night, even if it's not on the menu. i'd simply point out that I find dining in the MDR to be 'fun' and possibly more special than quick service. It's your honeymoon, make it special. Dress up a tiny bit and enjoy being doted on, and...

    Tips for traveling with a baby?

    We borrowed a bottle sanitizer as well for our infant. at 6 mos they may be old enough to not worry about those germs anymore, using just soap and water, but for littler ones it's great. else bring a little container of dishsoap or a papertowel soaked in it in a baggie. Also, bring a sling...

    Adding a person to a full room reservation

    Thanks much, and yep I get that already. I guess to rephrase the question... what are the chances of a *GT rate coming in at least 30% less than today's rate for a standard room, on a cruise that as of today looks like it won't fill up. it's in offseason. cruise is about 3 months out.

    Adding a person to a full room reservation

    ok, so I have 3 adults and 2 kids in a CAT 4 on the Wonder. we like the room, booked at opening for a very good price compared to now, and it is adjacent to another in the party. so we want to keep it and prices for other rooms don't make sense to lose this one anyway now. we have not...

    Highest On Board Charges

    The Art, oh the Art. we were totally unprepared for the artwork and jewelry available on the Fantasy. was totally off our radar until we got on the ship, then lookout!
