    What should I know about a one-way cruise ?

    Check to see if you need passports because it is not a close loop cruise. IF you do, get them in plenty of time. We did a Transatlantic ending in Puerto Rico. The airport was small and many cruises terminated there so it was crowded. AND the same TSA and customs agents work the ports and...

    Shulas - never again

    I ate there 20 years ago and said the same thing. Especially after the server "crumbed" a pat of butter into my lap.

    Just when I thought covid testing was over…

    We're on the Sydney to Honolulu trip in March. It gives me pause because we leave home more than a week before we cruise - with plenty of time to "catch it", in transit. it would be horrible to be denied boarding in Sydney and have to buy another expensive airfare back to Hawaii in order to...

    May 7th, 2023 - 13-Night Eastbound Transatlantic Cruise from Miami (Ponta Delgada (Azores), Lisbon, Cádiz, Málaga, Cartagena)

    This is our first EBTA, but we've done a few WBTAs. We're also platinum and in our 70s. We did a med cruise prior to the 2017 WBTA. it was fun. In Marseilles, we just took the city bus up to the church on top of the mountain. No tour necessary. Cost us like 2,50E each. Took a shared...

    May 2019 EBTA - Taking the Magic eastbound across the Atlantic (and bonus non-DCL Mediterranean cruise!) - Update 8/3/2022

    THANK YOu SO MUCH for this amazingly detailed awesome sauce trip report! We did the WBTA in uh - I can't remember - the covid times have messed up my sense of time because of no cruises - the one that was supposed to go to eastern Canada and got rerouted straight to NY for 2 days instead...

    Those Little Metal Extenders!

    I changed my albums to screw posts long ago - no more extenders. You can buy the screw posts in lengths from half an inch up to three inches. Once you've tried them, you won't go back!

    Am I Wrong for Not Caring About BOG?

    It's your choice and your taste. If you aren't wowed by the menu, don't feel you NEED to eat there. More room for me, actually. Every time we go, it's our must do and we always have the same thing - braised pork and cup cake - chocolate for him, lemon for me.

    9/16/2017 Magic Transatlantic from Barcelona

    Hi everybody. Thanks for the informational pm's. No tastings for me - one Konk Kooler on castaway cay is about my limit of alcohol consumption. Wine would be my tipple of choice if I wasn't sensitive to the sufites. I might bring post cards, and pins, and recipes and even FE gifts but...

    9/16/2017 Magic Transatlantic from Barcelona

    Hello! I can't remember if I signed up for this thread before, since we've been signed up on the cruise for a couple years, but haven't had time to do any serious planning until now. And now, of course, it's a mad scramble. :crazy: This is my 5th WBTA starting in 2011. Sailing with my...

    Oh boy do I have questions! We've been signed up for this cruise for forever but i've just now got the time to actually think about the planning of it. There are 5 of us, all adults. This is my 23rd Disney cruise, my husband's 20th?, and our friends are all platinum as well. We're doing the...

    How do I find a good ECV to purchase at a reasonable price?

    Walker Mobility, from whom I rent my scooters, also sells them. I looked at buying for a while, because I'm down there several times a year but after discussion with John at Walker, decided against it. In order for the batteries to hold a charge, they need to be used and recharged on a regular...

    Getting on and off bus with scooter, any tips?

    If there are already people sitting on the bus, you're better off to allow the driver to load it. I'm a good driver and parallel park it with ease usually in one swing, but if there are people sitting along the sides, in todays "sue happy" world, I don't want to risk bumping someone.

    Cabana Bay for Adult only Trip

    We're adults (68 going on 12) and we just booked CBR. I think it's going to be fun to stay there. Of course, the theming DOES hark back to our childhoods, growing up in the 50s!

    Cabana Bay! New Universal Hotel in 2014!!!

    If I was going to Disney "quite a bit" I would NOT be staying at Universal! The transportation costs from one to the other are going to negate any "savings". IF it were me - and staying on Disney Property is not financially possible - I would be at the closest possible off property resort for...
