    Galveston Island - Info for potential cruisers!

    When we sailed from Galveston last May we are at Fish Tails the night before and really enjoyed it. The seafood was very fresh and the atmosphere was nice for the whole family. I recommend it. Ricky

    How young is too young to cruise?

    We took our baby on his first cruise when he was one year and one month old. It was not too young. We all had a great time, the baby was never a hindrance and we did not feel that we missed out on anything because we had the baby. We used "Babies Travel Lite" to have baby supplies delivered...

    Quickest route from Disney to Port

    Orlando Resident here. While I-4 to 528 is the most direct and shortest route, the traffic from Disney to the 528 on I-4 can be very heavy at times. The 417 is a little longer route, but it rarely ever has traffic. At 8AM on a Sunday morning you will have no trouble at all on I-4 to the 528...

    Who's the Cruise Director on the Dream?

    Is it still Clayton? His "I am on vacation dance" (the Carlton Dance from Fresh Prince of Bel-Air) is awesome.

    Celebration Packages

    We purchased the celebration package with the room decoration and door magnet. It was a very nice touch, the room was decorated when we arrived. It was a banner, a door magnet, a hanging birthday decoration, and a card signed by the characters. My wife, who was the birthday girl, really...

    Watching cruise line special...

    We were very lucky, the weather was perfect for 12 of the 14 days, so most of the time the seas were very calm and not much movement. I have never seen water that was such a deep blue before, or had a clearer view of the sunrise and sunset. It was an amazing experience. When we booked...

    Watching cruise line special...

    We just returned form the 14 day Transatlantic on the Magic, our first time on the Magic, and I there is something special about that ship. It has a special feel, and is now my favorite of all the ships.

    Day before the cruise

    Lego land is about a 40-45 minutes drive away from Disney. Our kids loved it, but the adults were a bit bored. They just opened a water park that is right next to Legoland, and my kids are dying to try it. I saw an offer at the local grocery store to buy a ticket to the park and get the...

    Clingy Cruiser?

    Our baby, now 2 1/2 has travelled with us on two cruises and he is fairly clingy with both of us. However, he absolutely loves the nursery on the Dream. It is the only place that he sleeps without one of us there.

    Disney Cruise FAQ's

    We had the gorgonzola and grape pizza on our last cruise, it was surprisingly very good. I did not expect to like it, but the flavors work very well together.

    Couples Massages

    We did a couples massage right after the sail away party and you can book it in advanced. We have also waited to be on the ship and done the tour on the first day and there are usually discounts available at that time. We really enjoyed the massage at the spa on the ship, it was very relaxing.

    Lol. I will make sure to get a trip report up for the Transatlantic for you. I do have the gratuity numbers from Disney and it does work out to exactly $12.00 per person per day for the positions that remain with you throughout the cruise. But remember to include tips for luggage, room...

    Disney Cruise FAQ's

    I don't want to put words in anyone's mouth, but I think what David was saying was that you can very easily avoid the characters. When DW and I went on our first cruise it was just the two of us, and we were not interested in seeing characters. While we didn't go out of our way to avoid them...
