Yes my husband told me not to fall for children falling etc. they want you to focus on something and not them. Don’t let people give you anything either. Keep moving. He has been watching You tube .

I’m only packing 2 dress for Palo brunch and for the first time we are doing Remy for dinner. Wear the same ones for formal and semi formal nights. I’m not a foodie so I find it hard with fancy food…lol

I am a jean, t shirt girl at home. On the ship I wear capris, jean shorts and sleeveless tops . My daughter she will be dress up for dinner every night.

For every plane incident you hear about, there are hundreds of places that take off and land without incident. And of those incidents you do hear about, many have occurred with few injuries.

I highly recommend PacSafe-they make bag designed to protect against pickpockets. I'm bringing mine (converts from a purse to a small backpack) and got both my parents ones as well for this trip.

Yes that is what we got! Pac safe.

I agree about flying , try not to think of that stuff.

LMAO at your daughter! (Literally) Too cute! I packed way too many dresses. Normally, I change my attire every night for dinner, but I’m not gonna do it for this cruise.

 

[NAB]

This is us!

If you see us around the ship say hi!

Yes. Don't let kids come up and touch/grab you, don't let people give you anything, don't let locals come up and try to take pictures with you (they'll then want money from you afterwards), don't walk around holding your cell phone/looking at your cell phone instead of where you're going.

Generally, if you pay attention to what's going on around you, you'll be in pretty good shape.

I know it's hard not to think about flying with everything in the news lately, but the statistics are still very much on our side. I have six flights in three weeks (three of them this week alone). I have always paid attention to the safety briefing, now I pay just a little extra attention to it. I figure that's about all I can do.

I am entitled to bring 2 suitcases and will make good use of that. I am bringing too many clothes and not planning on doing laundry on holiday. Plus doing some shopping at the outlets before cruising.

 

[Pinkjgray]

I’m going to try it and will report back!

 

[Flossbolna]

Here in Canada have an advisory of traveling to the U.S . Warning us about them checking phones, computer etc. to check your media. To see if you say anything against the government there. It’s the luck of the draw who you get at immigration.

My immigration process was as easy as always. I think it’s still only a minuscule amount of people who are more scrutinized than before. I wouldn’t worry too much!

We went to the Sawgrass Mills outlets yesterday, they have a Disney outlet there as well. We bought a cute print of all the Princesses from Disney Cruise Line for 5$. We will have the princesses sign it on the cruise. Should be a cute souvenir!

Another vote of confidence from me about PacSafe! Great bags.

I haven’t been to the Sawgrass Mills Mall in years!!!

My mother in law lives around the corner there and I think it’s the one mall in the USA I have been to the most!

Her home must be fabulous! I went to high school near that area.

 

[LandonM170]

I'm bring a check suitcase, a carry-on suitcase, and my backpack. I don't think it will be more than 40 lbs together. For clothes, I am only bringing 6 days worth, my suit, a pair of pants, and my swim shorts.

I should follow you!

I don't mind doing laundry three times while on the ship, and I do not want to be carrying all that weight around in the airport!

 

[Pinkjgray]

But why two suitcases? My stuff is in one large suitcase. I might break it down into two to reduce the 54lbs weight.

 

[NAB]

We never have a carry on just our back packs . To hard these days to find a place for it on the plane back packs go under seats.

We have 2 checked luggage one for each of us.

My daughter will have a checked luggage and backpack. She is having a hard time packing. She would love 2 outfits a day.

I said I will be washing but she wants the different clothes.

 

[mpark90]

Yep, the Fantasy has purple luggage tags!

Our luggage tags still haven't arrived
They never do to be fair and are usually through the letterbox by the time we get home.

We fly out Tuesday to MCO and we are SO excited.
Have not started packing yet as we have a very sulky cat who does not like the suitcases!
