    What should I prioritize on embark day?

    I've never cruised before, so I actually don't have my own opinions... only those formed by too many forum visits. 😜 I just have read that with kids (and we have four of them, ages 7 to 16) that it can be a bit crazy fighting the crowds and getting food for all and then finding a seat. I'm open...

    What should I prioritize on embark day?

    Ok, I thought I was done asking questions, but I realize that I have the most anxiety about embarkation day. We have an 11:45 PAT, and here are the list of things that I want (or our family wants) to do. Help me prioritize and put these in some kind of order... I've never done this before...

    1 Day in Orlando: what would you do?

    Ok. Ok. Thanks to @MonaMN and @Doberge, I went with the option that I really wanted to do. WE'RE GOING TO EPCOT and we'll keep it from the kids until we surprise them day of. It may not be the smartest decision, but hey, my parents would probably say that blowing in excess of $10k on a Disney...

    1 Day in Orlando: what would you do?

    Thank you. Right now the plan is (in addition to requesting an early check-in) to Lyft to whatever hotel we're staying at and checking our bags with the front desk before heading out. That said, I'm going to add up the approximate cost for all the Lyfts and check that against rental car and...

    What am I missing?!

    Yes. And yes. Thank you. At first I didn't want that end of cruise bill to be so big... but now that you mention it, I think I'll just wait. Thanks! Yes, thank you, Tink. I think we're good. We bought an easy kit that includes hat and eye patch for everyone the family. Well, I should've said...

    1 Day in Orlando: what would you do?

    Ok... here I go, re-opening what I thought was a closed discussion and decision made. To catch up: we disembark from 7 days aboard the Fantasy at Port Canaveral on Saturday 10/15. Our flight doesn't leave MCO until Sunday morning at 6:45. The previous question is what would you do with one...

    What am I missing?!

    Yes! We're planning on using Oceaneer's and Vibe, and maybe even Edge. (We have four kids 7, 10, 14, and 16.) But those areas don't require reservations anymore, do they?

    What am I missing?!

    It's just over five days before our family's first cruise ever, aboard DCL or any other cruise line. We have 7 nights on the Fantasy during our kid's fall break next week and we are all losing our minds with excitement. Question: what should I be doing/checking/double-checking this week? I...

    Tastings. What Did You Like/Dislike?

    I think this is a key part of it! When I go into my plans, I don't like seeing a "no plan" day.

    That sounds like a dream.

    Cruise PRO tips - what should we do when we board? (Fantasy 7-day trip)

    Can anyone confirm that you can still get single day passes to the rainforest room on the Fantasy? And where do you go to get these, Sense or Guest Services? Thanks!

    Complimentary snacks on the Fantasy

    Thanks, y’all! Helpful. I think the pastries at Vista Cafe are the kinds of snacks they have in mind. The teens are excited about the idea of wandering the boat and getting a sweet treat whenever they feel like it.

    Complimentary snacks on the Fantasy

    Hi, We’re sailing the Fantasy in 2 weeks as first time cruisers, and my teens have asked where they can find snacks on board dung the day for no additional fee, besides the soft serve. I’m assuming that the Cove Café is off-limits to them. Thanks!

    Thoughts, prayers and following along. Keep us updated!
