Are you TRYING to make this harder for me. I just did our Out of Town notes for my baby sister and my mom. Boy it's hard having others fill in for you with your kids My 16 yr old will keep everyone in line though.

Do you dress up for pirate night?

We do

ABSOLUTELY! That's one of our favorite parts of the trip... dressing up and seeing everyone else in their pirate gear!

We had a fantastic time although it wasn't long enough even DH is saying we will have to do a 7night one next time

Would love to hear all your experiences, good&bad.

Our best experience was having a Cabanna on CC it was pure heaven

Worst experience youngest DD crying unconsolably for the 1st hour we got on board no idea why other than she was exhausted as she's too nosy to nap but apologies for anyone who was trying to eat there lunch in Cabanas, the screaming baby was mine

I had a blast. Friends were epic. Did hae a mini break down when I found out the phones at nassua were crap and I couldnt call my son but I was okay when I got online and checked in on him...all in all super fun and cant wait til my next cruise

Sorry for checking back in so late. We got home late on Dec 26th and just have been busy since with work and school.

Toria, it was great to run into by you the pool and meet you! We really appreciated the gift of the extra FE packages you had. That was super sweet of you. I used the eye mask today actually. I had wanted to ask you your stateroom number to leave you a gift but then didn't want to sound like a creep asking for that info. We will pay the kindness forward.

I'm happy that I have my first cruise experience under my belt. The ship was beautiful! We loved our room and stateroom host. The pool deck was awesome. My dd's loved the midship detective agency. Castaway Cay was absolutely perfect. We were blissfully unaware of what had happened in Newtown until after we got off of the ship. We ended up going to WDW for 1 night after to MVMCP.

Just found out yesterday that my mom and step-dad are taking my sister and her family to WDW tomorrow. First trip for all of them except my step-dad. I've wanted my family to go to WDW forever now so I'm happy that they are going but a bit sad that I won't be there with them. I'm hoping they get hooked and we will have many more trips together in the future.

I hope everyone had a great cruise! We are hoping to do a 5 or 7 night in the future and 'do it right'. While we enjoyed it, I didn't feel like the 3 night was magical for us so we are hoping that maybe a longer cruise on a smaller Disney ship will work out better for us.
