    What Treasure cruise are you booking next week?

    We booked the March 15th cruise. It’s our school spring break week and my birthday week. We actually love the Wish, unlike most people here lol. We’ve never actually sailed on the Fantasy or Dream, just the Wonder and the Wish, which I think helps. We did a B2B last March on the Wish and while...

    Room service menu question

    You should check out the main dining room that's open for breakfast. I hate the craziness of Cabanas/Marceline first thing in the morning. We were on the Wish in March and had a great breakfast at 1923. It was nice and calm and a great way to start the day.

    Family split over different cabin types, advice.

    You've gotten good answers, but I wanted to point out that when your parents are in the concierge lounge you can use the disney app on your phones to communicate.

    What are you booking next week?

    We booked the 10 night Southern yesterday, I’m pretty excited. We were looking to do something for my husband’s 40th and this one seems pretty amazing. We booked connecting 5As, splurging so we can separate from our kids.

    Will I be sad if I don't do Disney to Alaska?

    We are doing Royal’s Ovation if the Seas this July to Alaska. Our money goes so much farther on Royal. We have a two bedroom suite on Ovation which would be completely out of the question on Disney. I also liked all of the inside spaces on Ovation with great viewing. The Wonder doesn’t have much...

    Disney Wish AquaMouse

    We put some stuff in the cubbies next to the aqua mouse. I’m pretty sure I held on to my phone the whole time though because I was using it in line (the ride stopped for a while to accommodate someone with special needs). On embarkation day my husband and I both carry on backpacks and keep them...

    Can you share your experiences?! Eastern Carib. excursion recommendations? Tortola, St. Thomas and...

    We did a great private tour on St. Thomas with Webb at https://www.stthomasadventures.com/

    Alaska cruise 2023 - Other cruise lines?

    We’re doing a 2 bedroom suite on Ovation of the Seas in July. It’s so much space and comparable to Disney verandah pricing. I also love the idea of sitting in a hot tub in the solarium watching the scenery. There’s other great inside spots for viewing like the concierge lounge and cafe 270. I...

    No Navigators - What hours are things open?

    I don’t mind using the phone if it’s easy to find, I always have it on me anyways to take pictures of my kids and whatever else. But I’ve already sailed on the Wish and still had no idea where in the app to find it, lol. And I wanted to have a sense ahead of time of what hours things are...

    No Navigators - What hours are things open?

    We have a B2B on the Wish scheduled for March and I’m really missing being able to have access to old paper navigators. I’d really like to be able to know the hours for things - where can I see what time the pools open, the rainforest room, what time each of the dining venues opens and closes...

    How is Independence on the Seas versus Disney Wish?

    We sailed on Indy last March and just got off the Wish on Monday. Indy was 1 and done for us. The ship seemed old and Vegas-y. And the promenade was miserable the last night because smoke was pouring into it from the casino. We stayed in a 2 bedroom grand suite and while the size of the room was...

    Testing postive days before cruise 😥

    We had this happen to us. We were supposed to be on the Dream last week but the Sunday before my son suddenly came down with a fever and tested positive on a home test. We did get him a PCR test and that was positive too. There was nothing we could do at that point but cancel. I was really...

    POLL: Who is canceling their cruise due to new CDC advisory on cruise travel?

    We are FL residents and our cruise goes out on Friday. We are not canceling, but I’m worried my kids will pick it up at school and we’ll be denied at the port. We’re all vaxxed but that doesn’t seem to matter with Omicron. If we get denied at the port we’re lucky that we can just drive the 2.5...

    DCL Europe Summer 2022 approaching - what are you doing?

    We're booked on the 9 night caribbean summer 2022, and I've been on the fence about keeping it. If we had a European one booked I'd definitely be leaning towards canceling. My issue with the cruises this summer is that they're likely to be a much reduced experience at the same price. We're...

    Leaving baby in room to nap? Thoughts and discussion!

    We cruised when my daughter was 18 months and my son was 4. I actually didn't mind the daily naps on the ship. So much so that I volunteered for in-room nap duty most days, lol. I would either sit outside on the verandah or hang out on the bed. I loved listening to audio books in either...

    Full Vaccination Required Ages 5+ Starting 1/13/22

    I'm happy to hear this, we got our kids vaccinated the very first weekend it was available. I was hoping they would remove the time slots needed for the kids club, but I forgot about the 3 and 4 year olds. It would be great if they did the suggestion above, but I think we're on the first...

    Are the no character meets and greets a big downside for you?

    I don't really care about the character meet and greets. It's always annoying because we feel obliged to bring the kids and wait in line, and invariably everyone hates waiting in line. I'd rather wave at them as they walk around and call it a day.

    Volunteering Q&A onboard ship this weekend

    I had no idea they might have rice krispy treats! We usually end up ordering Mickey bars a few times. But I'm happy to find out the answer to this on our january cruise 😃
