    Galveston itineraries

    Having just returned from the Magic with the one stop in Progreso, I would say not worth it at all. The beach was nice, and full of local families and pushy hawkers. The 'free' shuttle from the boat took over an hour each way with a heavy sales pitch for a tour when they drop you off. We...

    Prepaid gratuities

    I have requested two things from head servers in the past. At times I have a favorite menu being served in a different dining room or wanted to have food being prepped for cast members (local food) and they have been able to make this happen. We also asked for a cheese platter to be waiting for...

    Prepaid gratuities

    I guess I am the exception. I just went to the bank today to get cash for the gratuities for the cruise later this week. I've been told by cast members they appreciate the cash vs the pre-paid gratuities, as they get to decide if and how much they report on their taxes. If it is paid through...

    Progreso Shore Excursions Recommendations

    Thanks for the helpful insights! The cenote would be the highlight of the trip indeed (also having visited the other Mayan run sites you mentioned). My sons do not like the idea of 3+ hours in the bus, and I can't say I blame them. Need to consider if we actually do this excursion, or find some...

    July 22nd, 2023 - 10-Night Iceland, Norway, and France Cruise from Southampton to Copenhagen

    Do you mind sharing the name of the hotel and transportation company? I have plenty of Marriott points to use as well, and always looking for good recommendations of reliable transport. Thanks!

    Just booked a *very* Forward room......your thoughts?

    We had a problem with our room once which required us to switch to a new room mid cruise that was way forward. The movement of the ship was too much for us at night when the speeds were greater. Motion sickness was not fun, and we would not select a very forward cabin of our own choosing. Good...

    Preferred Parking at Port Canaveral - Anyone tried it?

    I’ll add my vote that the extra $20 is worth it and the porter took our bags right to the car. The car isn’t hot by the time you disembark, so garage wouldn’t make a difference.

    20 Random Thoughts from Recent Fantasy Trip

    I asked my host for lotion. He said the new policy it was only provided upon request, and he had to write down on a log how many bottles went to which room. I know some people take advantage of requesting extras to take home, the same thing happens at my gym, but to not even be provided a...

    20 Random Thoughts from Recent Fantasy Trip

    Thanks for the notes. I too was on this cruise and echo a few points: 7. AquiLab is a waste of valuable space. Fun for younger kids, but not for an extended period of time. 8. Oceaneer Lab is tough for the older age limit. My boys hated going. No activities geared towards them and tons of...

    Cold feet about booking our first cruise...

    Congrats! When you consider how much you’ll save on airfare or drive time, the NoLa trip is fantastic. We do the same from Galveston. Remember to check the price of the NoLa cruise when you are onboard your first cruise. The 10% on board booking discount might save you a few extra dollars if...

    Atlantis - using the Comfort Suites "trick" - it works! :)

    We did this twice, worked like a charm and booked way in advance for low room rates. One time we did go with another couple from the ship. You can buy extra wristbands in Atlantis, and they have different rates for kids and adults. Simply show the Disney cruise ID, and buy a day pass for...
