    No it sure where to put it but upgrading from 9A - 6A 6150/6152 aft would have been $700ish each but room reviews pegged them as nosy and lots vibration from engine room - 5C 6620/6622 midship starboard would have been $1068 each Oh well no balcony for us.

    We checked in our lugguage first prior to testing/checkin as we were told we could do that. Saw plenty of ppl w lugguage w tags in the testing lineup. Pro is avoid bottle neck w lugguage tag and elevator Con is if you test positive for covid your lugguage maybe going on a cruise without you.

    Sorry we didn’t qualify for 90day recovery so we didn’t look for a separate line for it. Could it be app based too?

    Our test was I believe still antigen. I had no indication what test was performed but results were in within 15min so should be antigen?

    Everyone departing Vancouver for Alaska today (5/16)!

    Process is a little messy as different ppl tell you different things still atm. notes: - Can check in baggage at cruise terminal P2 level prior to check in. Might be able to get there through convention centre in the back to avoid the lineup at that single elevator? - There are multiple testing...

    What's something you wish you'd done differently on your last cruise?

    Roam the ship late at night when empty. I mean real late like 2am. I only managed to do it the first or second cruise but have not managed to do it since. Always too tired. Everything was lit but totally empty except for cleaning crew here and there. I was able to take the most amazing shots.

    Selfie Stick

    I think parks are too crowded and selfie sticks become a hazard and possible trigger for conflict. On the cruise it’s less crowded and ppl are more relaxed so not as much of an issue but still let’s keep it civil so we can keep using them in the right situation. I like using them to get a...

    Just back from Western

    I was there too and we should count ourselves very lucky as we had all sunshine through out even though Jamaica and Castaway Cay were at risk of being rained out!

    Cellular at Sea - anyone used it recently?

    Any cellular service relies on cellular towers which are all build on land. So there is not a chance you can get a signal deep into the sea!! I guarantee you whatever you have is only referring to global land based cellular providers. Satellite service be the only thing that would work at sea...

    Photography Question

    You can add a bit of a buffer by leaving your camera in a camera bag so the crossover is not as instant. That is usually the main reason for moisture buildup as it just happens too fast.

    Low carb eating on the Fantasy?

    I managed to do two DCL cruises w low carb and reduced sugar diets and still ate to my hearts desire but barely gaining 2lbs. Few things that are important and keep in mind: - of cause stay away from pop and alcohol though I did gin Tonic when I really felt like some - DCL food is so amazing...

    Disappointed with cruise & Disney's "customer service"

    Sadly it only takes one ignorant or selfish family to ruin the pool fun for everyone especially if they can repeatedly do it. I assume CMs have no tools to quickly identify the pooper and ensure the parents are aware of the rule and possibly ban their kid from further use of the pool? Now I am...

    The good, bad and ugly from a first timer
