    ?'s and help needed with planning Hawaiian cruise

    We are on the same cruise and are flying into Vancouver this time, but when we went on the Alaskan cruise a few years ago we flew from Nashville to Seattle and then rented a car. It was very easy and we had no issues with customs at all. I really enjoyed the drive and scenery. I will be...

    Glasgow Scottish Food Safari

    We were on that cruise last fall, and I may be wrong, but I believe that it might not have been offered. I had been interested in it as well. We ended up doing the Inverary Castle and Loch Lomand excursion and had a great time. The Duke of the castle and representative to the monarchy...

    Food quality on Dream vs. other Disney ships

    We were on the British Isles cruise September 2023, late seating, and I really thought the quality of the food was lacking. I know the servers depend on a good review so we tip well and give a good final report on the survey, but in reality I probably would say our meals were mediocre. It...

    I think my dad has CoViD AGAIN... Only 5 weeks since he last had it!

    There are a slew of illnesses going around right now. RSV, flu, and a variety of upper respiratory infections have all reared their ugly heads. There is also some sort of super stomach bug that has been hitting children and can last up to 9 days. It might not be CoVid, but a mask will help no...

    Is it possible to get DIS transportation from a pre-cruise hotel without staying at that hotel? For an earlier PAT.

    We were on the Northern Isles cruise last year. My husband and I did an Adventures by Disney Escape beforehand, so we didn't have to worry about our transportation, but my brother did not. He had Marriott points, got his room on his own and then called Disney and added transportation from the...

    Where to stop along the way?

    Williamsburg would be nice, and if you are coming from New England may not be too cool for you. There is a lot to see, and I second Charleston or Savannah, though I prefer Savannah. We have gone to Hilton Head in October and November and many of the shops and restaurants are closed for the...

    New internet packages

    Just a word of caution, we got the Premium package on our British Isles cruise in September so that my husband could check emails for work. Since he had to use the VPN to get to his work email, he was not able. After checking with the main desk we were told that many times the satellite on the...

    NYC cruises

    We were on the September 10th British Isles cruise on the Dream and thought that the ship looked wonderful! We hadn't sailed on it before and I thought it was immaculate. Our servers and room steward were great, actually all the cast members seemed great, no complaints about that, however I...

    Hawaii Cruise questions

    We are scheduled to go on the Vancouver to Hawaii cruise in September 2024. Though its early, I have been contemplating excursions as well. If anyone has info on the excursions they took I would be interested. I think we would enjoy private tours more than DCL bc on our recent cruise the DCL...

    what time for flight from England

    Someone posted on the FB site that Disney said not to schedule a flight before 2:15 pm if I remember correctly.

    Frustrated with IT.

    I believe we are on the same cruise. I refreshed and refreshed last night so that I could reserve the excursion that I wanted. It took an hour to finally get my reservation and the booking page. Additionally, as soon as I got to reserve the excursion and hit save it immediately went to the page...

    Alaska Cruise

    We went a few years ago in early September. Obviously, check the weather before you pack. We generally dressed like we do during the fall season. During the day, layer. I would wear a shirt with a fleece or thermal and usually a light jacket. Make sure to take a lightweight rain jacket...

    Vancouver Downtown Eastside/Gastown Question

    We stayed at the Delta Downtown for a few days before our cruise but it was before the pandemic. I made the reservation, and like you, read that they had a lot of unhoused people and the area was not safe. We couldn't have been happier there! Like many cities now, there were some homeless, but...

    head injury

    I have visual migraines off and on. I also had a small spontaneous retina tear a few years ago, and had to have it repaired. The symptoms were not the same at all. I get wavy flashing spots and inability to see areas with the migraines, but with the tear I had a black spot in my vision...

    Kia Telluride & Hyundai Palisade?

    We were looking for an SUV with a 3rd row a few months ago. There were no Tellurides to even look at in our area or within 100 miles. One of the sales associates let us look at his own SUV. It was nice, but I cant comment otherwise bc we never drove one. However, the Palisades Calligraphy was...

    alaska questions

    We stayed at the Delta Suites in 2019. They are in the Marriott family and they were very nice. We had a few days to spare to visit Vancouver and they were within walking distance of the waterfront, but we walk daily so if you are unable to walk a few blocks they might not be for you...

    Sister Wives

    I have children who have grown to be great human beings but they certainly weren't self-sufficient "adults" at age 18. They were smart and hardworking but still needed guidance from their parents (though they sometimes didn't believe they did). If my husband had demanded I choose between my...

    N95 mask fitting

    I believe the poster means wearing an N95 mask rather than other types (cloth, surgical, etc.).

    Vancouver Pre-Cruise Suggestions

    I wasn't impressed with Whistler, but we thought Grouse Mountain Park was nice, and its much closer. We stayed at the Delta Hotel downtown and it was great, and easily walkable to all the downtown sights. We spent a few days there before our cruise, and I do regret not going to Victoria Island...
