    Beverage Packages-Are they worth it?

    We got the beverage package on the Freedom in July and it was totally worth it. By the time I had a couple of diet Cokes a day followed by fruity drinks at the pool and wine with dinner, we made our money from them. The other nice thing is that my DH and I sometimes want different wines (white...

    Freedom of the Seas: Eastern or Weatern Caribbean?

    Thanks for the feedback! I think I'm going to change to the WC itinerary. It's slightly cheaper, too. :thumbsup2

    Freedom of the Seas: Eastern or Weatern Caribbean?

    The ports for the Eastern are Coco Cay, St. Martin and St. Thomas, and for the Western are Labadee, Falmouth, George Town (Grand Cayman), and Cozumel. My husband and I got engaged on an NCL cruise that included St. Martin and St. Thomas, so there's some sentimentality there, and we've also...

    Freedom of the Seas: Eastern or Weatern Caribbean?

    We are planning for next June on the EC and have booked with the BOGOHO promo currently running. We also seriously considered the WC Itinerary and are wondering if we should change. Any thought? We have a Grand Suite booked which I'm very excited about and would have to make sure we could get...

    Verandah?

    For that price (and maybe even a little more!), I would definitely do it! We love having a verandah...

    Pirate Night at Palo's

    We're also fans of Palo on Pirate Night. I would rather experience the other restaurants, as we've only done 4-night cruises - so maybe on a longer we would feel differently.

    Hotels in Port Canaveral

    We've stayed at the Residence Inn twice (used their shuttle once) and then also the Country Inn & Suites (didn't use shuttle). I have a slight preference for Residence Inn, but liked both. We are staying at Best Western before our cruise on the Magic in early April. They had a good discount for...

    Whats your favorite wine off the premium wine package?

    We like Conundrum. The La Crema Chardonnay isn't bad either (though I've been more into Sauvignon Blancs lately). On the reds, the King Estate and Greg Norman are both pretty good. We usually ask the serve for a recommendation on the red depending on what we're eating and since we don't know as...

    How quiet is the quiet cove pool?

    I've spent time at Quiet Cove on two different cruises on the dream. The first was great, relaxing and generally "quiet" but enjoyable adult time enjoying an adult beverage. Last time, my DH and I went later in the afternoon on the day at sea and it was, as some others had referred to it, fairly...

    Disney App vs Navigators?

    This is my thought, too! I love the idea of this app, but there is a big part of me that likes disconnecting completely, and not always having my phone nearby (and checking it often) like I do in "real life."

    Bathing suit cover-ups

    I have a few suits that are skirts and sometimes I will just wear a t-shirt over it. Depending on how long much the skirt covers, the t-shirt often covers the other areas I'm generally concerned about.

    avoiding corkage fee

    We also do the wine package and my DH and I split a bottle at night with dinner. For us, it's not worth lugging the bottles on the ship, but I wouldn't have any problem paying the corkage fee if we did go that route. We do the "premium" package and while I get the comments that their wines on...

    How much did your room price increase since you booked?

    Our Cat 5C on the Magic sailing 4/7/14 has gone up just a little over $1,500. (Not OBB). Some significant increases on this thread!

    Cape Canaveral and Cocoa Beach Restaurant Recommendation Needed!

    Another vote for Fishlips. We've only stayed one night before our past cruises, but will be there for 2 nights in April, so looking forward to trying some more of the recommendations listed.

    April 7, 2014 4-night Magic

    We now have one more family joining us. They are repeat Disney cruisers (though first time on the Magic, like us), and also have boys. That puts us at 25 total with 14 adults and 11 boys, ages 9 and under. It looks like there are A LOT of Atlanta/Georgia families on this thread. Fun! I am...

    April 7, 2014 4-night Magic

    Hello! We are also on this cruise. It will be our 4th Disney cruise, first time on the Magic. In our cabin it's me, DH and DS (9) and DS (7). We are traveling with 5 other families, with a total of 21 passengers. 3 families are repeat Disney cruisers and the other 3 are first-timers that...
