    Hair Braiding in Nassau

    I have a braiding licence and I wouldn't go near those places when you come off the ships. Have it done onboard or CC if DCL employee or even before you go as some salons/spas do it.

    Can I bring a pop-up tent cabana for Castaway Cay?

    There are also hammocks on the adult beach. You haven't said if you are travelling as a family so this might not be relevent:thumbsup2. We have one of those cabanas when we go to the Gulf Coast beaches here in Florida and although it rolls up tight and is in a bag, I personally wouldn't take it...

    First seating or second seating and why?

    In answer to the OP, late seating for us as a couple as less children around. If we had any children with us we would do early.

    Welcome Aboard Ship tour?

    I think the ship tour is OK for first timers as it orientates you a little. I don't think it would be worth it if you have been on the ship twice before. They don't go much beyond deck 3/4/5 if I remember rightly, mainly the cinema, theater, MDR restaurants, running track and shopping area where...

    What is your opinion of Disney cruise line food?

    Generally speaking I don't think it was that great in the MDR, especially the entrees, some were under cooked and bland others were just OK. I know it is mass catering so wasn't expecting "gourmet". Cabanas was decent enough though. Biggest disappointment was the Mickey bars everyone seems...

    Remy or not?

    You're right to skip Remy, you won't enjoy the whole experience from what you have written. It is formal dining and part of it is being fussed over.

    Shellac nails

    Ask your salon if they retail CND solar oil, it should be part of the Shellac manicure at then end and then most salons sell the solar oil as part of the at home care. That should stop any dryness if you are finding this. I took mine off today and am going to post pictures so folks can see their...

    Shellac nails

    Yes the acetone would break down the integrity of the L&P. I can understand why they would just drill it off in your example as it is way quicker. I actually find that regular polish lasts well on enhancements. Out of curiosity, did you have problems with regular polish not lasting on your...

    Shellac nails

    That's the best bet, all authorised salons and spas are on this site. A Shellac service/manicure is a complete set of products including a specially designed lamp which was two years in the testing. A lot of places just use the uv regular lamp which isn't the best idea. All the things that...

    Shellac nails

    I have Shellac on all the time and my nails are as healthy as can be. It does have to be applied and removed correctly though.

    Non-family vacation reasons for taking a family cruise.

    Resident rates, no kids, off season, not so many passenger kids and 55 minutes to the port. Those are the only reason for non traditional cruise!

    Tattoo Policy on the cruise?

    I guess if this was on a Cunard type board it could be an issue for some but I see no problems whatsoever and from the DCL perspective one persons green is as good as another no matter what they look like. I dislike tattoos so don't have any, but don't judge anyone that has and it would be kind...

    Why DCL cost more

    Not being rude or anything but is the OP not kind of stating the obvious and are we saying that is has never been discussed that cruising whilst kids are out of school is more expensive, I find that impossible to believe? Luckily we can cruise off peak and choose carefully when we sail to avoid...

    Palo on Pirate night, have you experienced this?

    Probably would not have expected it but if he moved on after a few seconds I wouldn't have given it another thought. Each to their own I guess as long as it didn't spoil anything for anyone.

    Safe to leave belongings while in the pool or in the ocean at CC?

    We have a beach safe, a bit like the cable lock for a lap top for smaller things you might want at the beach but not want to leave alone, camera, small amount of cash etc. You just hook it round something big like your lounger or immovable like a bench. Probably not 100% foolproof but someone...

    WOW! I think we're out of control! How much do you spend?

    We eat out maybe 3 times a week, one higher end restaurant at the weekend and them something like Beefs or Santa Fe mid week. It soon adds up cash and calories!

    "Mannerly" things people do that you don't like?

    I am more than capable of pulling out my own chair or opening a door but I have no problem with a guy doing it for me. I like good manners in general, unfortunately there aren't enough people out there with them today, even basics like please and thank you.

    Ladies . .Wristlet or Cross Shoulder for Evening?

    Onboard just a small clutch or evening bag for me. If I was ashore I would Probably carry something with a wrist strap against across the body in the evening if dressed for dinner.
