    Travel agent or not?

    I’ve known people that swear by a TA. We use one always for Disney Cruises. For WDW vacations, we do not use one. The planing is still so much part of the fun! Although these days, the fun turns to frustration a bit with the degree of scheduling needed. Speaking of scheduling…Who misses the...

    Tips for building up stamina for your trip?

    Our family walked around our neighborhood “block”. First it was the two of us, than a stroller, than a bike and stroller, then two bikes and stroller, then…you get the idea. DW, me and our three kids grew up and were accustomed (some nights begrudgingly 😂) to walking. Even with that, we made...

    Room Service hours

    Hi. Best part of room service for us was coffee, croissant, and fruit quietly arriving at 6:50 to enjoy on the veranda while the teen kids were still sleeping!

    Necessities for first Cruise

    Hi. Just want to mention that clips (like plastic clothes pins) are handy to secure drying suits to chairs on the veranda while in port in case it’s breezy.

    Paradise beach in Cozumel

    Did not go to Paradise Beach but DW and I went to Paradise Island in Jan/2022. Covid was ramping down. Masking was still in place with some spacing set up. Was not crowded at that time. The beach chairs were settled near the water and we parked our gear at a table back under trees. Plenty of...

    Looking for St. Thomas excursion recommendations.

    Hi, Parents visited Sapphire Beach about 18 years ago and they said it was the best beach for snorkeling. Anyone have a recent opinion on Sapphire beach in general and also how the snorkeling was? TIA!

    Looking for St. Thomas excursion recommendations.

    Thanks! We will check this out. Was there enough snorkel time? Besides the awesome sea turtles, was the snorkeling good to see other sights like fish and coral/rock formations?

    Looking for St. Thomas excursion recommendations.

    Thanks for the recommendation! How long about it the ferry ride? Did you do it on your own or with Disney? Was snorkel gear provided?

    Looking for St. Thomas excursion recommendations.

    Thanks for the reply! Magens Bay looks huge and beautiful! Why do you say it might not be best to snorkel? We do not have Snorkel equipment, so plan to rent (if not provided in any excursion). Do you know if equipment is for rent at the beach? Are fins needed/available as well as the mask and...

    Looking for St. Thomas excursion recommendations.

    Hi, DW and I will be on the Jan 20, 2024 Fantasy and currently we have booked the St. John Champagne Catamaran Sail & Snorkel (ST21). Now after reading some unfavorable reviews, we are not so sure. We are interested in snorkeling, so are there recommendations for excursions on St Thomas...

    Fantasy 1/22/22 SWDAS Itinerary Change to Western

    Hi. We are also a bit disappointed in the change, but this gives a reason to take another cruise to the Virgin Islands later! We are still looking forward to get on a ship and visit a few places, relax while at Sea. We fly in on Friday, drive rental to port on Sat. Here’s what we are not...
