Yes, in my experience they usually give it to the kids. My son got one on the Norwegian cruise on the Dream last summer for winning a video game contest at Edge.

Having now done this twice, you will want to eat each course, as each course is an experience. They are not very large. We did the wine pairing once and had one of the best dining experiences of our lives and some great stories from our server that we still tell to this day. They will make...

Having personally crashed at least one Disney Boat in my time (former Watercraft Cast Member), one moment of inattention or a strong gust of wind, can cause you to hit a dock harder than you want. My trainer once told me docking a boat is nothing but a controlled crash into the dock, so you...

We sailed out of Miami last August. We sailed out of terminal C and parked in the garage directly across the street. We dropped our luggage in the curb right in front of the terminal, parked right across the street. There was a crossing guard, so no problem crossing the street. Miami did...

I think the only thing you will miss is the Pirate's menu at the restaurant you duplicate, which is not my favorite. The sea day is nice, but I agree with everyone else 6 days is better than 4 - and besides, there is not two days worth of things to do in Nassau, so just stay on the ship and...

Short answer - Yes. My daughter went to Vibe for the first time our last cruise and had a fantastic time. She made friends with several girls her age - they spent practically the whole 4 days together. We really only saw her at meals and only because it was our requirement. They even went to...

They are pretty well spread out throughout the day. I will warn you the clubs have video games, computers, arts and crafts and movies running all the time, as well as some of the coolest play areas with all sorts of toys and games. So even if there is not an organized activity going on, there...

The Personal Navigator will have a list of activities going on at the Oceaneer's Club and Oceaneer's Lab. So you can plan his day at the clubs right along with yours and make sure he does not miss any of the family activities or any of the kids club activities. My kids (at the time 7,6) love...

Yes, that is true everywhere on the ship, alcohol is not included.

No, there is no cover. All included in the cruise fare.

No, there is no formal night on a 3 night cruise to Nassau. There is an optional semi-formal night, though.

You can bring your own pillow case from home and drop them off with a sharpie at Guest Relations at the beginning of the cruise. The pillowcase will be returned to your stateroom with autographs from all the characters before the end of the cruise. You can ask for which characters you want...

I would choose the Golden Mickeys. While all shows are amazing, the Golden Mickey's are a cruise ship classic that should be experienced. Plus, as someone above mentioned it is on dress up night, which adds to the ambiance of being at the theater.

Tom, one other issue you may want to consider is that given the travel size of your party you may need two staterooms. I believe 6 is the max in a stateroom. You may want to check with one of our experts, @Disneyfalcon should be able to answer that for you. We have 4 kids, daughter 13, and...
