    They had plans to hang with their friends! In the end, they really enjoyed the trip.

    How to surprise the kiddos?

    We thought it would be a great idea to surprise our 15 y/o boy/girl twins on Christmas Eve with a trip to Paris leaving 2 days later. We gave them a beautifully wrapped box with all kinds of French goods like a small Eiffel Tower, a beret, etc. We thought we were sooooo clever. They both...

    GTY rooms were just assigned to all. We ended up in a 4B. Very happy.

    10 & 11 Night Southern Fantasy cruises in June

    I just got a very good GTY verandah rate for the 7 day Magic Southern Caribbean cruise. Paid $6300 vs. $9200 current rate for a high level verandah. I don't think any of the S. Caribbean cruises are selling too well.

    Another Platinum DCL sailor who jumped ship..

    Thanks Bumbershoot. When I called RCL, they didn't make that clear. Good to know for the future, but for now, looking forward to see what a suite/concierge is like on RCL compared to DCL, which was always great.

    Another Platinum DCL sailor who jumped ship..

    I disagree about the availability of rooms for 4 on other lines. If you look at the new ships on most lines, the only way to sleep four if the parents want the big bed in the room is to have 2 kids sleep on a pull out sofa. Funny - but that's not really a popular idea with my boy/girl 13y/o...

    Announcing Family name as you board

    After 10 or 11 cruises, you gotta have some fun with it. Last time we cruised we were the Doofinshmirtz family. The crew loved it.

    Any new ships for the near future

    We were on the Dream a few weeks ago and the person giving the tour thought it was "likely" there would be an announcement in 2016 about new ships.

    Can't decide between ship vs itinerary?

    It may not be as fancy, but the "new" Magic is a great ship. If you like that itinerary better (even though I much prefer the Fantasy itinerary), you'll have a great trip on the Magic. Besides, the Aquadunk is the best ride out there!

    Early flight with DCL Transfers?

    The bus to the airport is not a problem. The issue for the DCL transfers is the luggage. If you use DCL and you want to have your luggage go through to your final destination, DCL requires the flight to be no earlier than noon.

    Magical Express to terminal?

    We have a family of 4 and always take DCL transport for one reason - the luggage transfers. Once we check our luggage in at our home airport, the next time we see it will be when we're in our cabin on the ship. On the way home, same thing in reverse. We pack quite a bit for a 7 day cruise and...

    Wine!

    The problem is the wines aren't that great. We usually stick with the premium package selections, but when we go to Palo we always order a nicer bottle. They credit the average price per bottle from the package (I think about $40) towards any better bottle you buy. You can do the same in the MDR.

    How tired after a 7 night cruise...

    Our twins were 10 last year and we went to the Magic Kingdom the day after the 7 day cruise. Big mistake - they were dragging by lunch time. For us the cruise is pretty active and the kids stay up later than they would at home, so we won't be doing that again. However, in November we have a 3...

    Pirate Night on 3 Day Dream?

    Thanks! Glad they don't serve pirate menu in the MDR's though.

    Pirate Night on 3 Day Dream?

    Does anyone know if they do a full pirate night show/fireworks on the 3 day Dream cruises? We're traveling on November. Thanks.
