    A little help needed from DCL vets re: tastings

    I'd say there is a very good chance that you will be able to book Palo brunch onboard. The Navigator will tell you what time and what location to be at to sign up for Palo. Usually it's at one of the restaurants at 1:00 but check to be sure. I would get in line about 20-30 minutes early to...

    Another Palo question...sorry

    I'd say your chances are pretty good. If you go to the location where they are taking reservations/changing dining assignments about 20 minutes before the opening time and try to be one of the first in line (I think it was 1:00 in Royal Court, but that could change... check the navigator)...

    Adult beverages on the Fantasy...

    I also suggest the passport at Skyline (it's a cute booklet that has drink recipes; makes a nice souvenir!). At Skyline, our favorite drinks are the Aquincum (along the lines of a margarita), Paris 75, Ooh La La, Berryoska. If you google Skyline Disney Fantasy menu, you can see the list of...

    Hotels & Restaurants in Cocoa Beach

    We like La Quinta Oceanfront. Right on the beach, next to the pier. Has a nice pool and free breakfast. The rooms are fairly newly renovated. Ocean front or ocean view rooms. We Also like Grills or Fishlips.

    First time cruisers, adults only....what should we know?

    My advice is based on our favorite things to do onboard - Mixology class and, if you're up for it, tequila and margarita tasting or mojito tasting. Always fun. A day at the Rainforest Room - so relaxing. Hot stone massage - heavenly! You'll be so relaxed Palo brunch - beautiful venue...

    Grand Cayman snorkeling

    We want to snorkel while in Grand Cayman, but it seems that with some of the excursions, by the time you take a boat to a snorkeling location (or two), you don't have that much time of actual snorkeling. My kids asked me if there is a beach we could go to that has decent snorkeling that we...

    Miami hotel using Hotwire

    Has anyone had expire booking a hotel at Miami beach using Hotwire? Just wondering what hotel you got and if there's a history of what hotels have been coming up. For example, there's a 4 1/2 star South Beach oceanfront - Collins area. Any way to know what this could be? Thanks

    F&W booths or restaurant?

    We're going to Epcot during F&W festival. I'm debating whether to make a dining reservation for lunch or dinner, or just eat from the F&W booths. For those that have been there and sampled the foods, would you recommend just eating the foods from the booths? And what are some of your...

    Dear Magic Eight Ball: Can I be off the ship by 7:30?

    A few weeks ago we had an early flight home (11:05 a.m.). We did express walk off so we kept our luggage. We were in the lobby around 7:30. As we got there, they were just letting the first guests off - - and they started with the concierge guests (they were all on one side). Our DCL bus...

    Miami hotel

    Try the Hampton Inn Brickell. We are staying there in December. They have a room with 2 queen beds and a sofa. They have a rooftop pool, restaurants nearby for dinner, and free breakfast. We'll take a cab to port. From the airport, we plan to take the Metro Rail to a station that is just a...

    Things on my packing list I'm obsessing too much over . . .

    I would say No to all 3. Relax, you'll be on vacation. Who wants to lug a tray around and wash out cereal bowls? And there is plenty of food for your husband to eat. Have a great time.

    Pay more for short summer cruise or less for fall longer cruise?

    If your child was in high school and taking harder courses, I'd really have to think about it. But it's 1st grade -- I'm sure you can get his assignments ahead of time and he can do them on vacation, if not before. No question - 7 nights on the Fantasy is far better!

    Fort Lauderdale to Port Miami

    For everyone that posted on this thread - I'm using SAS in December - What time was your flight leaving FLL? Did you make it with plenty of time to spare? What time did you get off the ship?

    Time from Miami to FLL

    Thanks Lori. How is the Fort Lauderdale airport as far as size and security lines? Could it take a while or do things usually move pretty quick? If we are there 1 1/2 hours before our flight, is that usually early enough?

    Time from Miami to FLL

    We are cruising from Miami in December. My options for flights out of FLL are 11:30 and 12:45. We'll use a car service to get to the airport. If we get off the ship at 8:00, would we make an 11:30 flight? I'm not sure how long the drive will take -- mapquest says about 35 minutes but I'm...

    Best Private Booked Excursions on Grand Cayman?

    We rode jetskis out to Stingray City and then over to Rum Point Beach. We booked it through Island Marketing. It was so much fun and very exciting to jet ski about 4 miles from the beach to the sting rays. Reasonably priced too, I thought. We plan to do it again next time.

    Best place for the Sail Away but not at the party (Dream)

    Last year on the Dream, my husband and I went to the rainforest room after the lifeboat drill. We were the only ones there. We had the tile chairs and hottubs to ourselves. And when the ship sailed away we stood at the open air area and waved goodbye.
