    What is the value for you in ABD trips?

    I have done 3 ABDs including London and Paris and it was great. Some things that we got that we wouldn't have gotten on our own Private tour of the Crown Jewels before they opened to the public without the escalators moving. My daughter got the special memory of opening the vault door...

    Driving to PE with rental car

    Did the drive from Orlando to PE for a New Years cruise. We ended up just parking the car and extending the rental and paying for parking. Know it wasn't the most cost effective way but the idea of doing the return to the airport and having to do two shuttles didn't make sense. I was also...

    Back to back cruise - alcohol scenario

    Not sure if Walgreens sells any but there is one within walking distance of the terminal. On the other hand considering what you paid for the B2B cruise and what they charge for the wine packages is it worth the hassle?

    Where/how do you keep a personal bag safe at Castaway Cay?

    Never had an issue leaving my phone or anything else in my bag. Not that there is a need to bring a wallet credit card or passport on the island. If you think about all of the guests are well off to be able to afford these trips and have no incentive to risk taking everything. Same with staff...
