Now that I have returned from the Carnival cruise I can compare both - Disney / Carnival. I sailed the Wonder with an 8-year-old granddaughter. Sailed the Fantasy with the same granddaughter and her 12-year-old best buddy the following year. The main things missed on the Fantasy were the...

I have done the encounter twice - once with and 8 year old and then the following year with the 8 year old (then 9) and a 12 year old. Expensive - yes (especially since I had to pay to go with them). Worth it? - You bet ... it was the highlight of each trip! Memories like that are worth...

I recently took two granddaughters (9 and 12) on a Carnival cruise and tried to fib about the oldest ones age in order to get them in the same program. I did not realize that when they swiped the girl’s cards to register them in, it showed their true ages. The instructor laughed and said it...

I took my 8-year-old (surrogate) granddaughter on the Wonder last year. WE ENJOYED NASSUA. Granted, one must take it for what it is. You don’t have Rodeo Drive expectations in the Bahamas. One word of caution: While holding hands and walking to the straw market we were approached and I was...

I can appreciate your dilemma. I took my surrogate granddaughter on the Wonder last year. We had a great time; it created lifetime memories for both of us. She (of course) wants to go again but this time take a friend. Since the “money tree in my back yard” did not fully bloom this year...

Last year I took my surrogate granddaughter on the Disney Wonder to celebrate her eight birthday. Had a great time and she created memories for a lifetime. This year she now has a best buddy and the three of us are booked on a cruise. Due to budget restraints (three travelers as compared to...

Good to hear from you, Beth. Devina continues to do well and is very special in my heart! Even though I appreciate all the replys ... this is not what I was hoping to hear. Back to the planning stage! Bill :confused3

Not only is there dancing ... if the dueling pianos are still appearing, don't miss them!

Last year I took my 8 year old surrogate granddaughter on the Wonder. Would like to do the same thing this year but she now has a 12 year old best friend who would also be going. Now that there are three people going, budget becomes a challenge. Since Carnival is less expensive, can anyone...

By all means don’t miss the straw market. It is part of the local culture and one needs to experience it. The area is not conducive to strollers. The people are aggressive to make a sell but a polite “No, thank you” is enough to let them know of your lack of interest in their product...

As a souvenir from my Wonder cruise last year, I kept the key to our room with the great Disney pictures on it. I manage a hotel and I programmed that key to be my Master Pass key for the hotel. It has been used so much that it will no longer program. I am sorely disappointed and miss...

Thank you for sharing your story with everyone. God does miracles every day … sometimes these are accomplished through research, sometimes through doctors, sometimes through firemen, ambulance drivers, etc. Once in a while He uses entities such as Disney! Keep the faith and He will...

(Some regular posters have already heard this story. I enjoy telling it so pardon me if it is a repeat for you.) My (surrogate) granddaughter and I went shopping at the straw market for three beach towels for her siblings. I told the vendor I was willing to pay $25.00 for three towels...

All of these surprises sound like a lot of fun, but … Half the fun of the trip is the anticipation of the adventure. I booked the cruise for my granddaughter and me 10 months ahead of time. She learned of the trip by giving her the promotional video at Christmas. We sailed the day after her...

Be sure to put your child's name and stateroom number in the autograph book. My granddaughter left hers in the dining room the last night. Had we not had the ID in the book all of her autographs would have been lost. A small detail that could make the difference in a happy trip home or a...

Try www.disneystore.com ....I love the Mickey watch I bought there. Many items on line are less expensive than on the ship. Bill

At Christmas, I gave my seven-year-old granddaughter a large Christmas-wrapped box. In that box was a birthday-wrapped box. When she saw that one I explained that the present was so expensive it had to be for Christmas & birthday. When she opened the smaller box she saw the promotion video...
