I wish I had your worries. LOL! We had our second cruise in April (7 day western). LOVED IT! It was a different experience than the 4 day but over all it was wonderful! It's your vacation...just relax and enjoy it! Sue

We did the land/sea with the 4 night cruise in 2001. It was a great way to introduce everyone to cruising and we had fun at the parks I find the parks fun but exhausting. Last month we did the 7-day western and I enjoyed that much more. My kids are now teens and I think they enjoyed the...

but I really enjoyed the Palo brunch. My favorite was the fish (Tilapia ?) and risoto dish. And I'm not especially fond of fish. I loved everything I had at the brunch, I just can't remember everything I had! LOL It was a beautiful day and the view from our table was great! It was one...

Jeanie, I share you're philosophy. Life is WAY too short to let every detail bother you. Before our trips (especially a highly anticipated one like this) I remind my kids (and myself) to go with the flow and don't let a few disappointments ruin your fun. Sometimes the unexpected moments...

Wonder 2001 and Magic last month. I thought the food was about the same on both trips. I think the food is good for the most part, especially considering the number of people they must feed. Having said that, I consider of the ships and the crew to be great. I think Disney could improve the...

Dinner (Suggested dress: Tropical, Casual - No shorts or jeans please) BUT I saw lots of people with shorts and tropical shirts, mostly men and children. Sue

We did the 4 day Wonder (Presidents Weekend 2001) and 7 day Western (April 2004). I'm not sure if the ships were at capacity on our trips but there were some very busy areas, especially the elevators and the kids/family pools. If you have younger children, you will probably be hanging out...

I found it very easy to relax and get in the habit of doing nothing on the cruise! LOL! There were a number of things I thought I'd do but just didn't get around to them. If you do book excusions, consider the time involved. How long is the tour including travel time to and from ship? We...

I thought the view from Deck 10 was great, that's where I watched it.

I think the split bathrooms are one of the greatest features! I really appreciated having them with 2 adults and 2 teenagers in 1 stateroom! Is this unique to DCL or do other cruise lines have them too?

Thanks PatriciaH! That sounds great, I like the variety. I don't expect we'll be cruising again real soon, just got back from the Western last week. I'll have 2 in high school so we are entering the ' looking for a college/paying for the college' years! Mariner of the Seas is Royal...

is how I found out my birth certificate WASN"T acceptable. What would have happened if I had been told this at embarkation? Don't want to even think about it!!! There's mom at the DCL terminal waving good-bye to hubby and the kids as they leave on the Magic!! Talk about a nightmare! I had...

We had a light breakfast. Ran up to Topsiders and brought some cereal back to the room (we are not morning people LOL!) We got on line to get off the ship aound 8:00, walked through customs without a problem. We were off the Magic and in our car by 8:45. Got to MCO aound 9:45 BUT we used...

I don't know if they ever deny boarding the ship because of issues with birth certificates and proper photo id. I agree with Jillpie, just request another copy, it's not worth the worry. I got my certified birth certificate online at www.vitalchek.com It was 14.95 plus shipping. Sue

There was a little girl in our group. I'd say she was 2 or 3yrs. She had her own goggles and child size life vest and she just 'piggy-backed' her mom who was snorkeling. She was having a great time. I'm assuming this was not her first time doing this because she seemed very comfortable in the...

I've done 2 Disney cruises, the 4 day and western. I loved the ships, our rooms, the crew and the outstanding service. The one area I wish they'd work on is the food, especially the dinner entrees. Don't get me wrong, it was good but it doesn't seem to be on the same level of excellence as...

We had 2 adults and 2 teenagers in a Cat 4 and it was fine for 1 week but 2 weeks would be too much for me. And I would miss the split bath. Sue

We also did the jungle jeep tour. It was fun and definitely not boring! Checkout the website from TootyJane above, it offers a variety of adventure tours.! I think many of the jeep, dune buggie and atv excursions tour the same trails along the beach, we passed several other groups when we...

We were on the 1/2 day excursion. 2 stops to snorkel and then 1 stop to see the stingrays. We saw plenty of fish at the snorkel stops, even saw some rays and an eel. Maybe it was just an 'off' day when you were there. Good luck! Sue

Idb1030: A few stayed on the boat OR got in the water and back on the boat quickly. It depends on your own comfort level where you spend your time. They offered water or fruit punch from 2 large cooler jugs, you just helped yourself. I think they were dropped at the Marriot-the driver...
