    I must be crazy……AUGUST?!?!

    I'm 45 years old and all the times I went as a kid and all the times I've been as an adult have always been in the summer, either July or August. My parents would never take us out of school for a vacation, and being a teacher myself, I can't take days off and I will not pull my kids out (even...

    Disney Cruise Experience is Worth It

    I agree to disagree. I feel that the service alone for me is worth it. We went on a Royal Cruise in December and it just wasn't the same. It was fun, and that's my family-we'll have fun anywhere. But to us, there was just such a difference and we just love the Disney atmosphere more.

    Disney Cruise Experience is Worth It

    I agree that you get what you pay for. We were indecisive about which line to do Alaska on. While Royal was cheaper, we decided that we enjoy Disney's atmosphere more!

    They are here! (Summer 2025 I mean)

    Thanks for this info! I just wrote our agent and told her to get us some info next week on two Disney and to let us know other lines to look at. I know Princess and Holland America are big ones, just not sure how they would be for two teenagers? Either way, we definitely want to do this! So...

    They are here! (Summer 2025 I mean)

    I think we've been priced out for 2025 Alaska with Disney. I can do a week long with one room (with a 17 and a 15 year old) for like 14K and I can get two rooms on RC for 11K inside passage. I hate to turn Disney down, but I think I have to this time. So bummed!

    Passport for Alaska cruise

    Yes, you're right. I did that whole process with my kids. Pretty easy, at least by where I live!

    Passport for Alaska cruise

    If I were you, I'd just renew, if you're not in a hardship to do so. I renewed my kids back in January and got them back within four weeks. They didn't expire until next year but we have a cruise we're going on in July and I just didn't want to push it.

    Next Batch of Cruises

    I'm dying for this! I need to book our 2025 Alaskan cruise! We booked this summer's cruise at the end of last March, so I'm hoping soon!

    DCL cruisers tried Royal...

    We took a Royal cruise over Christmas (Anthem of the Seas) and we are 5 time DCL cruisers. That being said, we felt basically the same way. We felt that there was a lot of upselling on the cruise. During the time that we were planning, I was constantly watching the prices of the excursions and...

    DCL or another line?

    Thank you for this information! I was thinking the same thing about the complete inside passage! I appreciate everything you said!

    DCL or another line?

    We did the Anthem of the Seas during Christmas week with my kids (my daughter is 13 and my son turned 16 on the cruise). We had fun, we definitely did. But, my kids missed their Disney cruise aspects. Now, Anthem doesn't have any waterslides so they missed their AquaDuck a ton, but other than...

    Considering a first Royal carabean

    We did a RC cruise over Christmas week. We had a really good time. There were about three or four freestyle machines around the ship. We did buy the package for my son and I on Black Friday, however, then we got it for my daughter while on the ship (so expensive). We did the "my time dining" and...

    Alaska Glacier excursion and Gold Castaway member

    Hi there, We're looking at Alaska for 2025. Part of me is really thinking we're going to do Disney for this cruise. While we did a RC cruise recently and had fun, we felt like something was missing. That being said, we're looking at the excursions and seeing about how much we would spend on...

    Tips for not getting sick on Guardians!

    I was a "one and done" on Guardians. I had to see what it was like, and while it was incredibly awesome, it was something I could not do again. So, my children and my husband can enjoy every minute!

    Can you give me the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly?

    I have loved these boards for many many years! Thank you all so much! I love hearing all of your opinions. I do believe I had someone calling me right before we left because we were staying at the Poly. Right now my husband and I have covid (which we came down with the day after we came home)...

    Can you give me the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly?

    I appreciate this answer! We're going to be debt free this year! (Huge for us since our kids have had childcare for many many years up until Covid when my husband was able to work from home). We're definitely in a better financial bracket now than where we were 14 years ago. We have savings...
