So we were at Aulani July 9-15 and I celebrated my 60th bday! My husband told me he was stumped on a gift because I had what i really wanted (spending it with my daughter's family, who live there as son in law is in the USMC) and I have told him I don't really need anything. I have the Maui...

We will be in Aulani in a month with our daughter and her three boys (they live in Hawaii and her husband is deployed). We won't be eating out too much because they are 1,4 and almost 7. July 13 I turn 60! I want to do the character breakfast that day and will book tomorrow, but what about...

We took 6 DCL cruises from 2003-2020 and then got a great deal on the Celebrity Equinox last summer. We had such a blast! We are going on Celebrity Beyond for St. Thomas-St. Maarten--Puerto Plata in 3 weeks and then an Equinox Cayman-ABC cruise over Thanksgiving. Currently deciding to do a...

We took a Celebrity cruise last July and loved it (after 6 DCL). Have two more booked. Now for 2024 trying to figure out whether to stick with Celebrity, or branch out to Princess or NCL. We will both be 60 this summer and don't need the ropes course, surf rider, etc. But we did cruise in the...

We will be coming in after a cruise in FLL on Easter Sunday. We have a later flight at 245 and will be at the airport by 10. I'm being told on cruise critic that we won't be allowed in the airport until 3 hours prior. Is that a thing? We have cruised on DCL and waited a few hours in MCO...

I booked a 2BR for July for me and DH, plus my daughter's family (they live on base on the island). We will have their car so we can go off site to eat, although I do want to do the character breakfast. Is there anything I need to do NOW? book anything?

My daughter's family just moved to a marine base on the island. A bag of tortilla chips cost them $7.50. That said, when we visit Aulani in July and she and my grandsons join us, I am going to have her buy the food and keep it in the room, except for probably the character breakfast and a...

I am planning on a trip to Aulani next July. My daughter will be living in HI (husband is a Marine) so we will be joined by them and my grandsons, 6,4,1. I have budgeted all my points and have enough for a 2 BR ocean view. We will probably fly in a day early and stay at her house, then drive...

Well I promised I'd come back, and here I am! Just back from a 6 night celebrity equinox to KW, Cayman and Cozumel. This was comparable to a 7 night western on Fantasy, except I was in a suite, had a full drink package, $600 in OBC and tips included, although we tipped several people above and...

We have been on 6 DCL cruises but our next two are Celebrity Equinox (Solstice class) and Beyond (Edge class) and I'm excited. I told one of my kids that when her kids are old enough we will do a 4 night Wish, but that's at least 3 years away since my youngest grandson will be making his...

I read the book so I knew some of the story going in (not the exact same of course) but I do not like the lead actress. She's boring. It's hard to get past any scene with her in it, no matter how sexy Anthony may be.

In November my husband was going to snorkel but even the snorkel path was closed due to big winds. Most everything else was canceled for same reason. We speed walked the 5K in 2016 (I can't run more than a block without wheezing) and still got medals. My husband came in 3rd...from the end LOL.

Thanks! I will! I have heard Seattle as well? We went to Hawaii in 1990 and went Detroit-San Fransisco-Honolulu.

They have been in San Diego, VA briefly, Pensacola for 3 years, then the last 6 months in TX. Now 6 months in NC and on to Kaneohe Bay in the fall. I was hoping they would be 3 years in NC but Grandma's wishes don't count LOL.

New to this forum but not to the boards! In fact I just found this forum on the forum list. My son-in-law just found out he will be stationed in Hawaii this fall for 3 years. I'm not crazy about it as my daughter and only 3 grandsons will be pretty far from Ohio! But, as a DVC member, when...

My daughter finds out Friday where she, my Marine SIL and my grandsons will be living for 3 years. One option is Hawaii. I am rooting for North Carolina (closer to me) but just in case she does get Hawaii, I do have a few questions. 1) how hard is Aulani to book at 7 months? 2) If we stay at...

I am trying Celebrity for my first non-DCL in July (6 nights on the Equinox). Was able to get a suite with premium drinks, tips, and $700 stateroom credit I plan to use on shore excursions and a spa day pass for $1000 less than a 7 night DCL (yes, one less night). Looks promising. Also have...

Well here is what happened. After a few days of looking for cruises I went ahead and booked a 6 night western on Celebrity Equinox. I got a celebrity suite for $6200 and it includes premium drinks, tips, and better wi-fi plus the suite perks. The same western on the Fantasy at the same time...

Thanks everyone! They were gracious enough to make an exception and I'm sure his medical team will be happy. I'll have a ton of points next summer!!

I think I am going to cancel our late May trip DH got a kidney transplant last month and although the worst period for being immunosuppressed is 3 months, I don't feel comfortable going to WDW this year 5 months out. Yeah I'll miss the 50th stuff, but this is more important. I have an August...
