Most of the main cruise lines have moved away from enforcing dress code of formal nights... they want guests to enjoy themselves at all times. Disney still has some lax dress codes for the restaurants and more strict ones in Palo and Remy. The only reason to bring formal garb is if you want...

Carnival has a reputation for being the party line... lots of young adults and a ton of focus on drinking and the casino. RCL and NCL are very family friendly and have great kid/teen activities, lots of great deals and lots of diverse itineraries. Since I know your kids age range, the larger...

I used to work on the Getaway, I like the ship enough, but it just seemed so over the top and hectic. Also I despise the Epic ,one of the worst designed ships in history. The western Caribbean itinerary is a phenomenal trip though, i loved it when i sailed it. I do still prefer norwegians...

If you want something different, RCL and NCL are both quality products for a much more affordable price. Also I know NCL has special deals for booking, like unlimited drink packages for free!!! The trick with Norwegian, IMO, is to avoid their huge ships, their itineraries are hit or miss and the...

I find most cruise ship spa's are quite expensive for the quality delivered, unfortunately dcl is no exception

I love meeting the characters on the cruise ships, they have a lot more liberty to interact with the guest. Last cruise i was on I was dressed up pretty well for pirate night, and i go to get my picture with Chip and Dale. Chip grabs my sword and begins to berate Dale with it and they chased...

Guys, I like Kung Fu Panda. Sad to see Woody Woodpecker go, but it's sadder that Universal has neglected the character.

Don't be so sure of that, my father has mastered the art of working on Cruise ships. He will buy the largest internet plan and he will wake up before the rest of the family, go up to the coffee bar and send and reply to emails. My father will do this everyday of the cruise, and he will make...

Plan a trip to florida, and visit some of the local communities to get a feel for them, stay near clearwater/st. Pete and then go to the other coast and try cocoa beach/titusville/jacksonville. Some people love living in orlando, but some people like to keep play and work separate. By never...

If you look at all the numbers, Disney had an extraordinary 2015 which couldn't be matched by 2016. MK saw 1 million more guests in 2015 than it did in 2014... that's an insane increase in guests. I don't think it's surprising at all we saw it level out last year and will see it grow comfortably...

My Grandpa always gripes about how Disney changed the florida landscape. He moved down there in the 50's and got into real estate pretty early around polk county, just outside disney properties, he owned a lot of orange groves. Once Disney came in promising to build the city of the future, not...

HEY I've known the owners of that place for years! awesome restaurant great people!! Also as far as lakeland goes, it's seen a great deal of growth in the past 5 years, a a couple breweries (brew hub of i4 is downright incredible, they brew beers for other breweries so their selection is the...

It can be very busy. The closer you get to christmas the busier it will be. Mickey's Very Merry Christmas party is great, controlled crowds, special parade and fireworks, I personally enjoy it, but some people say it's not worth the cost. Definitely set aside some time to check out some of the...

I grew up in lakeland, it took me about 40-45 minutes to leave my house and be at one of the parks. It's a full on city with everything you want but also the accessibility of Orlando and Tampa since your right between the two. As a 27 yr old male I was ready to move away to a big city, but...

If you haven't set plans yet, depending on your age and what you enjoy, downtown Orlando offers great night time entertainment, fantastic bars, clubs and restaurants and an uber is easy and affordable. Possibly nearby the Orlando Eye and its surrounding complex are really cool and a great way...

I love DCL, it's ships are the best. But, it is almost all Disney all the Time. I love to sail disney with my family, but if I'm sailing with friends I prefer a less expensive line with an all inclusive alcohol package. Doing a trip to WDW then sailing out of Port Canaveral is super easy, and if...

I have a full size Haunted Mansion poster above my bed. I bought it from a second hand seller, I have no idea what year it was printed or how it was originally acquired, but it's pretty legit.

If you've never done a DCL cruise before, absolutely DO IT! DO NOT CANCEL! The Products are so vastly different and great for such different reasons. I love both cruise lines.... Disney's Line of ships is unbelievable to behold and just spectacular to experience. Totally a different trip then...

I wish I knew what was going on with the Bliss, the company is really good at keeping things hidden till the last minute. It'll be borderline identical to the Escape/Joy... Not sure if it's getting the gokart track or the Ropes course... All i can guarantee is it's amenities will be incredibly...

Which Norwegian ship would you be sailing/ which itinerary. I'm a former NCL crew member, I worked as a cruise staff, and I still believe their product is really great. It's not as polished as disney, but it provides a great deal more variety for all age groups. Most of the main entertainment is...
