    Vegetarian on Castaway Cay

    on CC, my experience is you just ask for a veggie burger (i never pre ordered anything for CC). you have to wait a few minutes for them to cook one but they have them! if you have other particular diet needs/allergies, that does sometimes involve preferring things and they might have a premed...

    flying in at 10 am to Barcelona on debarkation day

    Are you flying direct? We were delayed in and out of Barcelona last summer due to rain storms and people there implied it is pretty frequent for the area.

    Ground Transportation in Barcelona

    Taxis! I insisted on metro/trains and I found the system so confusing (I do not speak Catalan or Spanish) and have had zero problems with metro a pro as it in the US, but I could nit figure it out! We weren’t there long, we took taxis and I gave my metro tickets away! Ha!

    OBB/Baltic cruise question

    I don't know why I can't figure this one out: wishing for a Baltic/Northern European/Copenhagen cruise in 2019. I'm assuming this cruise will exist and that 2019 should be coming out... soonish? So, I have an OBB I need to use that should cover the cruise date - can I somehow book 2 cabins...

    It's All About the Upsell - Where does DCL try to "Getcha"?

    We’ve been on RCL once. They come to you in line for dinner and try to make you go somewhere else or come into a bar where you are sitting and attempt to sell you plans to eat and drink elsewhere. It was daily and constant. I would think DCL does that if you are in the spa or at the shopping...

    June 2018 Mediterranean cruise

    It will be so amazing! We splurged on all day port excursions basically to maximize the sight seeing aspect. It was much easier to work within using dcl and just picking sights then trying to cobble something together although that is an option (private).

    What's there to do in Skagway?

    Skagway is beautiful and cool. You can easily amuse yourself walking off the ship and window shopping, eating and drinking and visiting with folks. It’s nit a big town. It’s very cool and beautiful.

    First cruise ever - a few questions about stateroom and dining

    Yes another person wanting to say that, I’m my 10 cruises, ship elevators are nothing like hotel elevators noise wise. Sometimes you can hear a kid tromp down the hall, but we have stayed in a very similar location and I was concerned at first but it was super convenient and typically Disney...

    Dinner Seating for Mediterranean Cruise

    We did this cruise last September. We are normally late dining, but did early dining. Though it was tight, I think it was best. Main dining will begin after the all aboard, so it won’t start before tours return, although if you are on a Disney excursion and arrive late, it may have started. We...

    Barcelona sight seeing recommendations

    I would recommend the HOHO bus and do both loops. That way you can see the lay of the land and get out for stops like sagrada familia etc. we were there about a day and a half before the cruise and tried to do too much!

    Thoughts/ reviews on Mediterranean excursions

    ok, we (2adults) did this cruise in september and i found picking excursions so challenging due to cost and the long, confusing nature of the excursions! i will try to name what we did in each port, but i am sure the names aren't exact - also we always did an adults only tour when available...
