    Ever go to Punta Cana?

    I'm strongly considering doing the DR in September, either Punta Cana or Puerto Plata - strictly because of the deals. My concern is more about safety with the unrest in Haiti (and yes, i know they're different countries and yes i know it's one big island and yes, it's hurricane season on top...

    Hardboiled Eggs - Shells Stick :-(

    Well, i tried the running cold water and i still have shells that simply will NOT release. While I did not use salt in the water, I did submerge them in cold water for quite awhile after cooking and before sticking them back into the fridge. Maybe they were too fresh? I bought them at...

    Flat, Disk-like Pearls in Nassau

    Back in September at the Nassau POC, I saw these very interesting pearls at several of the jewelry stores. They were like a button - round disks, kind of flat. The larger pearls were set as pendants, the smaller, in 18K gold with diamond (or other precious stones) chips. Can anyone recall...

    to figure out where i live! well - you're the first to say anything about it! :cool: the weather is looking better! the luggage is in the correct weight-limit zone. DS's are dancing and singing around the house. DH is futzing around like mad...but he's been on vacation for three days...

    September 18th Wonder 3 Night Cruise

    For me it's simple. Don't worry about something that is totally out of your control. Don't worry about the weather - but plan, and contingency plan, and then plan some more what you CAN do if the weather turns nasty on us. We're in the parks before we leave - i've purchased ponchos, small...

    Confiscated alcohol at check-in?

    First - thanks! 2nd - he insisted, he's either crazy or right - but the bottom line is, it CAN be done. Insert BIG Grin here. Cocktails on the ship killed us on our first cruise...we were having a ball and not paying any attention to how much things cost. We paid later. Boy, did we. Then...

    Confiscated alcohol at check-in?

    Jeff asked him the same questions several times, he said - yes it was Disney, they took my booze and I couldn't gamble. How about when you come on-board after an excursion - do they "hold" that for you? I think i read if you buy Duty Free on board, they "hold" that until you leave, right...

    Confiscated alcohol at check-in?

    I know this is going to sound crazy, especially after everything I've read about people bringing booze and beer on board, but my DH just called to tell me he had a customer sitting in his office who had his unopened bottles of Vodka, Rum and Champagne confiscated as he boarded the cruise. They...

    Cost of hair braiding on ship?

    Can we go a little further on the pricing? I'm sure I had read that the prices were different on board versus castaway cay. also - if you have shortish hair (4-5") - are you a candidate for a crown style? Thanks!

    Does the "Pack 50%" Rule Apply to Kids, too?

    couldn't have said it any better! I will pack laundry soap, a few dryer sheets, and always have lots of change. It's an insurance policy. Thanks! Great advice, as usual. I love it here. Ju

    Does the "Pack 50%" Rule Apply to Kids, too?

    "Jules - why are you even worried about this, we can always just buy another tee shirt when we hit Nassau!" Men just approach things so differently... LOL!
