    New Zealand October-November 2022 Trip report

    I was also trying to figure out how formal the adult dinners are. We always do carryon only with laundry during the trip, so this is very helpful.

    Gluten free eating

    Thank you for the photos. That's very helpful. This particular river cruise is the one we are considering next, so seeing photos of food options is very useful.

    Gluten free eating

    Great to know! We are heading to NZ on the December trip and I need to eat gluten free. Hope you had a wonderful trip. Please post any advice on packing, etc if you are able to. We tend to pack light and anticipate doing laundry once.

    Travel Changes?

    Even though we have been happy with ABD in past, they definitely are handling things poorly. Cannot believe they stranded families in Australia. Frustrated that we will lose a lot of money with current ABD reservations which are early June. We had bought “cancel for any reason”, but Japan...

    Coronavirus and DCL Megathread - Suspension of Departures for the fleet until early November. Booking only available from early December.

    We are on that one as well, we haven’t been on a cruise in 7 years, so we were all so excited. Now I’m a little bummed, it’s hard to stay excited with all this news daily. Crossing fingers it’s as wonderful as everyone says Disney cruises are. Hope you enjoy your cruise. ☺️

    China or Vietnam/Laos/Cambodia with kids?

    We are currently booked for the SE Asia trip July 6th-17th, 2020. Our kids will be 11 and 12yo by then. We just finished our 7th ABD and they have enjoyed them all. Honestly, at this point, I want a break to try something new, but my husband and kids want to stick with ABD. :) Our boys like...

    Vienam/Cambodia/Laos ABD-- Happy to answer questions!

    A friend told me about Flytographer. You can book a photographer in different countries. I don’t know much about it myself, but perhaps it will help you. :)

    Other Options...

    How would you compare your Nat Geo experience to your ABD trips? We have done a few trips with ABD (Alpine Magic, Alaska, Australia, Costa Rica and are booked for Galapagos and SE Asia). Initially we picked ABD because the kids were young, they are still only 9 and 10, but they have traveled...

    What's next?

    We did Thailand years ago, well before kids. I would love to go back there with the family! I’ve been looking and it appears a family Thailand trip is available with a few other companies. Let’s see :)

    Italy or SE Asia - help me decide

    We just did that Italy trip this summer. It was hot, but the wine and food were great. Actually my boys and husband (along with other men) were able to wear shorts as long as they were a bit longer (you just couldn’t see knees). I didn’t think they would be able to, so they had packed a pair of...

    Italy or SE Asia - help me decide

    How were your flights to SE Asia? We are booked for next July. I’m a bit worried about the heat in July, but I think I can get over that. But we just had a really bad flight experience getting to our our recent Italy trip, so I’m more nervous than usual. The flight back home would be changing...

    Vienam/Cambodia/Laos ABD-- Happy to answer questions!

    Will follow the thread. Thanks for all the info! We are signed up for SE Asia next July. I am just wondering if winter may be more pleasant time (weather wise) than July. We are keeping it for now and reading more reviews. The other option was perhaps Japan, but of course, no reviews on that.

    Vienam/Cambodia/Laos ABD-- Happy to answer questions!

    Good to hear you enjoyed this trip. We are signed up for next July. I’m just a bit concerned about the long flight time back home, but the trip seems interesting.

    Packing question for those that have been to Costa Rica

    We did this trip in March. I don’t remember any time where you had to have long pants. I think my husband took two pairs (but they were the lightweight, water repellent travel kind). Enjoy the trip! Beautiful country and active trip. The only trouble we had was the severe nausea on a long bus...

    Ecuador and Galapagos - did you see "enough"?

    Watching the thread, we are booked for this trip in 2019. I have not seen as many travel reports/feedback as the other trips, so this is helpful.

    Italy tips

    Actually I think we are on the same trip. We are getting in 2 days early to settle in with the kids. Safe travels there and looking forward to meeting you :)
