    crimes on board?

    My husband and I are really careless. We've left cash, credit card, diamond earrings, camcorder and camera out before and they're all where they're suppose to be when we left it. Only thing we had missing was the DCL magnetic thingy we decorated the outside of our door with. I guess we trust...

    What would you do.....

    We took DCL transportation all 3 times and taking it again this cruise. The excitment starts as soon as DD and DS step on the bus. To them that's where the trip actually starts. We usually take the 10 or 10:30 bus and still end up waiting another hour or so to board the ship anyway, so bus...

    Cruising in a week and son is sick!!

    My 3 year daughter had pneumonia on our first Disney cruise a week prior to sailing. The doctor told us she was okay to go and gave us some antibiotics. She still had a some cough by the time we board and we limited her time in or around water to minimum. She still had alot of fun playing in...

    Island Marketing Ltd St Maarten

    Has anyone used this company before? There's a 6 hour butterfly farm tour we're interested in. They stop at several other places for shopping,photo opp, and swimming at Orient beach. I have a 5 and 7 year old, and I'm a bit concern about their attention spam for a tour of that length...

    Great unknown tips or secrets!

    I am not sure if these are being mentioned.. but here goes buy smaller size/portion of sunscreen, toothpaste, shampoo, laundry soap, etc. have it shipped to DCL a week or two before your cruise (depends on where you live). Once the cruise is over, leave or toss the left overs. This will...

    what time is a good flight for the trip back home??

    Our last cruise, which was August of 2006, we got to the airport around 9:30, after checking in etc, we were sitting in the lobby at 10:30 waiting for our 1:37pm flight. I would say it'd depends on how busy the airport is. We got off Magic really quickly and Disney buses waiting outside of...

    Question/Complaint about tipping

    I believe you could tip them gift cards, but no cash? At least it was like this last cruise which was a year ago. Bottom line is you could give them something extra if you truly feel like it :) I'd imagine it'd be hard for DCL to hand out envelopes since the counselers do get switched around...

    Dinner activities for kids?

    First DCL cruise we went on we had this perfect "family" vacation in mind. We did everything as a family and we made sure DS sat through dinner with us. The result... 3 year old asleep at the table. :rotfl2: Second cruise we took both of our kids instead of one. We were much more relaxed...

    September 29th eastern cruise & hurricanes?

    I was on that cruise stranded out there.. lol However, it was great because they offered 2 extra free cruise days. They initially said 3 but got changed to 2. They did stop by Texas to drop off some passengers that needed to get home. Throughout the whole cruise you wouldn't've guess...

    Magic Eastern excursions

    Thank you so much! One more question. I noticed they have the butterfly farm and coral world excursion offered by Disney. Should I do it on my own instead?

    Magic Eastern excursions

    Hi all, This will be our first Eastern cruise. Any suggestions on good/fun excursions for a family of four? DD is 7 and DS is 5. Nothing physical. No extensive walking or bike riding. We've done the dolphin excursion in Cozumel so we don't have a problem passing that up. Thank you very...

    Question about the Dolphin Discovery excursion in Cozumel

    Yes you can wear water shoes. I personal prefers it. The platform you stand on gets a bit uncomfortable after awhile, it bothered me but doesn't seem to bother anyone else though. It's metal with holes. Only downside I see with going on your own is the excursion time. They tend to save...

    Question about the Dolphin Discovery excursion in Cozumel

    I took DS twice (once when she was 3, and again at 5), DD once to Dolphin excursion at Cozumel. DS remembers every since detail of both times. DD talks about it often and makes me promise to do it again next cruise which is in December. I think it's completely worth it and I'd do it again...

    where to stay prior and after cruise?

    Great! Thanks for recommending Sheraton. I checked on the rates and they're one of the most inexpensive and looks great from the photos. We'll be arriving after 6pm, so it'll just be a place to sleep at. Thanks again!

    Question regarding Dec. Eastern cruise

    We're trying to book our next cruise. Please help us with any input you can give. We would love eastern Caribbean cruise for year of 2007 since we've done two westerns in a row. Since Disney isn't doing the Caribbeans during the summer of 2007, and we already have plans for 2008, we will...

    Dolphin swim on Cozmel?

    They somehow permitted us to bring in our water cameras. My suggestion is to ask before you go into the water. Some of the pictures I took of the dolphins from where we stand is priceless. If you have a family member that's not going into the water, they even let you film from up top. We...
