    I don't know what to say

    We just found out that my husband's cousin has terminal pancreatic cancer. We got a card to send to her. We are all going to write a personal message to her (me, husband and our three kids). The only thing is I don't know what to say! I feel terrible about this and I don't want to say the...

    Paradise Beach Cozumel

    We had a blast there in 2006. We just got our own taxi each way. The kids played in the sand with shovels and buckets - I don't remember it being coarse. We did wear beach shoes though so maybe that is why the sand seemed fine. It was a beautiful place with pretty sand a the blue-ist water...

    Grand Cayman Turtle Farm

    Hello - we are on the same double dip cruise! Yes we have toured the turtle farm on our own. In 2006 we got off the ship (me, 2 kids and a friend and her 2 kids). We walked to where all the taxis are (tons of them) and asked for a tour with hell, the rum cake factory, the turtle farm and a...

    Cozumel Ruins

    We have decided on Xcaret - it offers a ton of activities so you might want to check this out also. As for the Ferry boat - I have heard about the sea sickness before so I plan to give my kids chewable children's dramamine the night before so it is in their system. The another dose that...

    Costa Maya Cruise Changed!

    I am somewhat bummed. I have been to Grand Cayman twice already and have done all the normal tours there. I was actually looking forward to seeing the Myan Pyramid in Costa Maya. But if Disney feels that it is not ready then I guess they have their reasons. Now I am off to researching Grand...

    Newbie to DCL forum :)

    We like to do WDW after the cruise (we book on our own and not thru DCL). We are so depressed when we have to get off the ship that we need something to look forward to before heading home and back to reality!

    Looking At Doing A Cruise And Have A Ton Of Questions

    If you were to book your own cruise you could get two adjoining rooms, or rooms across the hall from each other depending on your kid's ages. This would be alot less money and would free you up to book any hotel you want for however many days you want. We always go to WDW after the cruise and...

    What do you do when spouse isn't as vacation crazy as you?

    I take the kids myself and DH stays home. Yes it is sad somewhat, but he really doesn't like vacationing on a cruise and complains constatnly. We love it and he would actually hold us back if he went. We have an awesome time, but the kids do say things like "oh Daddy would have really liked...

    Tell me about dining, *** I don't understand!

    For Breakfast you can go to the buffet, or to a sit down restaurant or order room service! Each choice is included and is no extra charge (except a tip for the person who brings room service). You could also reserve a brunch at Palo's which is an additional fee, but worth it. For lunch the...

    On Board Photograpers

    I have made a 20x30 that looks great from a 4368 x 2912 (7.9 MB file) from a Canon 5D so it is possible. I think they use Nikon cameras on board, but not sure. Today's digital cameras can do pretty amazing things. It is just a matter of making sure that they set their cameras correctly to...

    On Board Photograpers

    It will also depend on what they have their camera set on as to what size of print would come out good printed large. For example, if my camera was set on large, fine Jpg I could make a large print. If I had it set on small jpg I could maybe make a nice 8x10. I would talk to them before you...

    Hyatt Priceline help quick????

    The last thing I heard was that it will show Airport shuttle, Fitness Ctr, pool, Restaurants, Business Center and High Speed internet. It will be 3.5 stars and around $69.99. Back in January the tip off was Trip Advisor 4.5 out of 5 reviews. I hope this helps.

    Would you take a Secret/Surprise Cruise?

    I would rather know where I am going - planning is part of the fun for me. I do think if DCL ever tried this though that all of the Dis'ers would solve the puzzle of where the ship was going before they could surprise the cruisers with secret destinations anyway. Remember how much research...

    The New NCL Gem, we tried it

    Thanks for posting this. It is good to get info on other cruise lines. I just went on Carnival in January and did a comprehensive comparison report that got moved in 10 minutes by a board moderator to the Trip Report Forum where no one knows about it. I think it is nice to try to help others...
