Great... we weren't sure if they were visible or not since they were smaller than we had hoped. We'll have to do something similar this next time. I "Wonder" what the restrictions are about releasing balloons in Florida. Do you have any ideas?

Hi everyone. I'm currently booked onthis cruise and on the 10 day. I asked for advice on which cruise to go on in thre main DCL board, and everyone told me this is the one. I'm still thinking about which one I really want (considering time and money), but I'll have to make a decision soon!!!

10 nights or 11 nights, well having done a 14 night I vote for the 11 ..
Let us know what ever you decide the More The Merrier !!!

Somebody help me out. I can't remember, and I can't tell from the pictures on the web site. Navigators Veranda...is the veranda enclosed? It looks like it. Anyone have pictures??

Brandy, We really like the navigators verandas, yes they are kinda enclosed with a large open porthole. There is a bench on one side of the veranda , chair and table. We like them because when we hang out our dive gear to dry there is less chance that it will be blown overboard.

In all our sailing we have only had one once and will have on this sailing. Sorry I don’t think we have any pictures.

I have the worst case of vacation planning stress! Our 2007 trip to Australia/New Zealand for our 20th Anniverary (that I have been planning for over a year) is now off. My DD and I are alone in wanting to go on this cruise in September. DH wants to go to Europe during Thanksgiving Break and visit all the sites of WWII. DS wants to stay home and play computer games.

Now I remember why we have only been on a few family vacations.

All you have to do is let DH go to Europe and look at WWII stuff by himself, leave the DS home with 15 or 20 bags of potato chips and you and DD stay on the September cruise and come diving with us.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII get it!!! Because it....hangs on the fish??? And extends it?
(Is that it? Or am I still lame??)

 

[EnchantedPlayroom]

Anyone stayed on deck 2?? My mother has heard that it is "very noisy". Can anyone confirm or deny this? Thanks.

 

[Scott H]

Brandy, not lame at all. You got it.

Lesley, let us know how it works out. I must admit I would like to do some of the WWII sites but would prefer to do this more during an off season.

Sorry no direct experience with Deck 2 but several other have and I did not hear any complaints, and some even stated they rather enjoyed that deck.

Has anyone who bought the insurance ever had to cancel?? Did you get your money back? How much of a hassel was it? Does there have to be certain circumstances to get a full refund?

Welcome Aboard Sandy, Joe,Trae, Brandy and Steve. What a KEWL welcome home trip for Steve. Glad to have you all with us.

Measurements of a Fish Extender, are as follows.

Overall dimensions are 27 X 8
Pockets are 5 X 8
Pockets are 2" deep at the top and taper to their bottom.
there are 5 pockets.

I hope this makes sense and helps.

Thanks Scott, this is exactly what I needed. With the picture that was posted (#2456) I should be able to get one made. If it works out I will post a picture and maybe consider making them for anyone who needs and/or wants one.


Welcome aboard to all the new people.

Hi guys!
Welcome to all the new people.

You know I was watching one of the cruise videos that was put out early on: anyone know if Rob and Amber are still going? I could really use a new cruise video right about now.


Just wanted to say hello....two more weeks on the night shift.

 

[icunurse_celeste]

I almost forgot....

I purchased medical travel insurance through American Express and it was SUPER cheap and had better coverage than Disney- covered my whole family for a year for about $25.00.

I also know you can buy travel insurance though outside vendors that is cheaper, but I haven't used that.
