    Alaska Cruise

    You get an outside stateroom with a window for the points. I think you can upgrade to a balcony room for about $500, but I am not 100% sure.

    Alaska Cruise

    There aren't many people from Maryland on this board, so it is always nice finding a fellow Marylander. We are renting a car. Our cruise is on the 8th, but we will fly to Seattle on the 6th, just to make sure we will board the ship on time and also do a little sightseeing around Seattle. You...

    Using Points For Alaska Cruise

    You only need to use points for the first passenger. Any additional passengers sharing the same cabin can pay cash. You can do all that directly with member services. I remember something like $500 to upgrade to a cabin with balcony. I don't think you can use points. The point chart for...

    Travel Section - DVC :)

    The article also says you would save more than $800 a year by buying into DVC. I would love to think that it's true.

    Alaskan Cruise questions

    I called MS trying to make reservation for an Alaskan cruise for July 2007. I was told negotiation has not been completed with Holland America yet so no dates are available. They told me to call back every week to check. I looked at the DVC member website and it says I can make reservation 11...

    An open letter to the Mayor of Hilton Head Island

    We were also lost using mapquest directions the last time we were there. We found the place after discovering the reservation confirmation letter contained the directions to the resort.

    Disneyland Hotel experience/questions

    We booked less than a month before the arrival date. I don't know the busy time for Disneyland Hotel, but you shouldn't have any problem getting a room there. I agree the balcony is not very big. It is a balcony in the sense that you can stand on it and look at the sights below.

    Disneyland Hotel experience/questions

    We recently stayed at the Disneyland Hotel for three nights on points. The hotel looked to be well maintained and the room was nice and clean. We were assigned a room on the top floor of the Bonita building. The room was facing the parking lot (instead of the pool and the inner courtyard) and...

    AMTRAK to Orlando, too risky?

    Thank you all for your valuable input. Taking the train is still an option for me, but I will do it at least one day early. Thanks again!

    AMTRAK to Orlando, too risky?

    I am thinking of taking AMTRAK from Richmond VA to Orlando for my next cruise. The train will arrive at the train station at about 10AM. I estimate it will take at least one hour of driving to get to the port. The on-time performace of AMTRAK on this route is not very good, only 18% for Feb...
