I have a luggage dilemma for this board....
Has anyone looked at shipping stuff ahead of time to the port?
Has anyone done it and had problems or successes? We are flying from the east coast and winter stuff is heavy. We thought that shipping it might be easier than hauling it ourselves. I am hesitant though because if the items are lost, I cannot just run to wal-mart and replace them. What do you think?
We have shipped a box to the ship and also to the hotel. Both worked fine. On one hand I liked the hotel because we could go through it, add some things to the box, etc. Just confirm with the hotel to expect it and confirm it got there. However, then you have one more thing to get to the ship. If it goes directly to the ship, no worries.
We are driving to the Cleveland clinic to take my dad for his pre-op work up. His knee fusion is a week from Wednesday (yeah another hurdle closer to our cruise to Alaska!) We have four hours and are chatting about the trip...hence another post.
For those who have sailed this cruise before, we have a weird question. Is the ship winterized such that there are common areas that are sealed? So you can watch the scenery and not freeze?
I hope all goes well with his knee. It's not a weird question. We've been on the Wonder before but have also cruised Alaska on another cruise line. There are some indoor places although not a ton, but standing outside is not too bad either. The inside passage is really where you want a good spot as we are cruising. Of course, we're form SLC, Utah. We cruised the last Alaska cruise in September, we had a great time.
Hi there. My family is going on this cruise along with some friends. We actually live in central Alaska we are hoping to explore the port towns a bit.
I'm still looking at booking tickets and hotels and such. Anyone go through Disney? What are your experiences and thought about cost and what not?
TIA

The only thing we go through a TA for is to book the cruise. The only reason we do that is Costco offers a cash card just because you book through them. The price between booking the cruise through a TA or Disney is none. What you will find are "perks", like on board credit (OBC) or Costco's cash card or the sponsor of this thread "Dreams" I believe does OBC.
Rarely have we booked excursions through
DCL. Every once in a while it is worth it to do so. Do your homework though, most times it is not.
ANYWAY......Hi! We just booked. It's our 8th DCL, and 11th overall. We love cruising!
We're interested in FE's. Can you please tell me what our current counts are for cabins/people? Also, do we have a firm cut off date?
DH (Bruce) and I (Lori) are bringing 3 of our 4 kids (using "kids" loosely) they are DS 22, DS 18, DD 17.
And...Brumbie!!!! Stop with the pic's of Mickey Bars! Holy cow my mouth is watering!!!!
