This is a great idea! Thanks!

Thank you for your feedback and also for the link! I have been reading up on our district's policies, which of course are dictated by state laws. I agree with the family time aspect. As it is, I am an at-home mom with lots of wonderful time with them during the summer, and we make the most...

Thank you, CBadger! Surely, we can't be the only Texans who have taken our kids out of school for a family trip? I know it's not ideal, and it's not like I don't care. I care very much. We are just trying to make the most of these precious years with our family vacations, which we love in the...

Meg, thank you for sharing your experience. Our older boy has done beautifully in elementary so far. We'll see how our youngest does (he starts kinder this fall), but he doesn't worry me. We'll just have to see how to make this as painless as possible and have them do any work before, during...

I'm so glad I found this thread, as I just booked us on the 11/13/15 cruise, as DCL is returning to Galveston. We wanted to do the week of Thanksgiving JUST so they wouldn't miss as much school, but the prices were out of reach for us. Our next best option was 11/13. I've been making myself...

Just changed our dummy booking we made on the NYE cruise this past year to November 13, 2015! We did lose our discount and OBB credit because our new reservation was more than 18 months from our booking date, but that's the breaks. It will be my 2 boys, who will be 6 and 10 at the time of the...

I haven't had to fly to a port yet (but now that DCL has left Galveston, that's the only way we'll be able to do future cruises for now). What does this mean? We did the NYE 2013-2014 cruise from Galveston to Cozumel and we are HOOKED. I'm hoping to plan our next cruise and didn't know they had...

We did just brunch on our first cruise (NYE 2013) and it was AMAZING. It was the BEST meal we had on the ship; heck, it was the best meal we'd had in months. SO many delicious things to choose from. I took 1 tiny portion of each item that appealed to me from the buffet and wasn't able to finish...

Here we go!:drive::yay::dance3:

Glad it was helpful! I feel like there's so much information to absorb and details to remember. I can't wait for my first nap! ;)

That's a great idea to print the first page of this thread! Will add that to my stack of paper. :D

One more question (probably not the last, sorry): I think I saw something about the people on this thread meeting to say hello. Without pouring over this thread, can someone tell me where/when? I'd like to say "hi" in person and thank you all for your help. By the way, my name is Lisa and...

Okay, excuse all the parking panic. I was able to reserve a spot for $40 total at Lighthouse Parking. Whew. :)

I was just reading about parking elsewhere on the board and I found something that says parking is $70 at the port of Galveston. Is this per day or just one flat fee. Getting sticker shock if it's per day. :faint:

Thanks so much for your reply. I've been watching the weather change and shift too and I finally just thought, "What will be, will be". We will have fun no matter what we're doing, so no need to worry. As far as parking goes, I need confirmation for that? That's something I didn't know and...

Thank you SO much for all of your help, REALLY! I'm making headway. I canNOT wait to do this deal! :cool1:

Thank you, UKintheUS! I'm sitting here, a ball of nerves. I'm beginning to pack and am feeling overwhelmed. If anyone has any last minute tips, I'm all mouse-ears. Don't know why I'm so jittery. Just afraid I'll forget something or do a crappy pack-job. :confused3

Hi, all! I've been checking the weather for Cozumel and it looks like it may be rainy. We have booked the Dolphinaris excursion for my my two young sons with my husband, my adult daughter, and I as observers. Does the weather affect any of this? Sorry if that is a dumb question. This is our...

Thanks to all for responding about the meetings on DCL. I'm so grateful they have them!

SO good to know! I have much to learn about all this cruise business. I'm just so excited, if we love it, I want to be able to start planning for the next one. My boys are growing so fast and I want to make this short time in their lives magical. I raised my daughter as a single mother and we...
