    A Disney girl cruises on Celebrity...

    I follow Captain Kate and Bug on Instagram. :) we were on the Edge last year, but before Captain Kate moved to the ship. I so wished she was our captain!

    Ovation of the Seas - Alaska

    we were in the family jr. Suite last year, and it was wonderful. Loved the full 1.5 baths!

    Ovation of the Seas - Alaska

    I can’t answer any questions you may have about sailing while a child is at camp, but we have left our son with friends/family while we cruised. AND we did Ovation in Alaska in 2019. :) what sorts of things would you like to know? (If you look at my profile for past responses on past posts...

    Calling / Messaging cruising group on-board (ie RCL Wave phones???)

    And if you have WiFi calling turned on on your cell phones, you’d be able to call your travel companions’ cell phones also. (And home, of course)

    Calling / Messaging cruising group on-board (ie RCL Wave phones???)

    The WiFi is affordable and unlimited, and we just get the WiFi in order to message each other ( and home!). But if we had the capability to do it for free through the app, we’d probably consider that instead!

    What would you do? Last minute cruise

    When considering cruises of different lengths, we look at the per night cost. DCL is over twice as much per night as Royal ($840 vs $400). I would absolutely do Royal when the price difference is that high, but full disclosure I’ve also been on 16-ish Royal cruises (vs 7 DCL), so clearly we’ve...

    Anyone have information about Anthem of the seas !

    I agree, it would be a lot easier to answer your questions if you had something specific you wanted to know. What research did you do already, and what from what you read did you want more information on?

    RCL Dinner Attire on Formal Night

    Speciality restaurants are always “smart casual,” even on formal nights. So if you feel like you should dress formally, but don’t really want to, book a speciality restaurant. :)

    Disney Cruise Lanyards

    I have never used a lanyard on a cruise, and don’t plan on using one. I put my card in my pocket, or in my pool bag if going to the pool. I suppose some people may find the lanyard useful when purchasing alcoholic beverages (because it can hold their ID too), but I don’t drink so that doesn’t...

    Party Ship?

    We went on a 4-night Royal cruise several years ago, in February. It definitely was not a party cruise. Most people on the cruise were probably 50+, with a lot of them being in their 60s and 70s. We were in our 30s, and were sat at a table with three couples in their 70s and 80s, and the other...

    Thrifty Couple Celebrity Edge Review Jan 27th to Feb 3

    We booked it the day they opened for bookings, figuring the prices would just go up. And they have! We figured we’d just cancel if it didn’t look like it would work out for us. We did the Celebrity Reflection two years ago, and had a great time. Our 7 year old isn’t into the really active stuff...

    Thrifty Couple Celebrity Edge Review Jan 27th to Feb 3

    I have seen several blogs and posts on Facebook groups with photos and reviews of the kids clubs on the Edge. There are groups on Facebook just for the Edge, and I’ve seen people post scans of the daily kids activities on them. We’ll be on the Edge with our 7 year old in a few weeks! Here is...

    Oahu luau advice, please!

    Chief’s Luau and FiaFia are essentially going to be the same show. Notice on the Chief’s Luau website how they’re closed on Tuesdays and Saturdays? Saturdays are their day off, and Tuesdays they’re performing their show at the Marriott. ;)

    Must-see beautiful drives?

    We’ve been to Ko Olina 5(?) times now, and finally on this last trip drove up the coast from Ko Olina. We didn’t really do any research ahead of time, just winged it, and the road ended at Ka’ena Point State Park. There was a trail to walk on, but were in flip flops, so we just walked up a...

    north shore food trucks

    Giovanni’s Shrimp truck is the most well known, and thus probably the most popular. There are a handful of other trucks in the same area (parking lot), which makes it convenient for a one stop shop if you want to try multiple trucks. Whenever we go, we will search “food trucks” in yelp and...

    There is no Infinite Veranda on Equinox, just the Edge. Just a heads up!

    Please explain dining packages

    I’ve never done the dining package, but you mentioned Wonderland and I wanted to say that we did that a couple years ago on Anthem and really liked it! It was a fun experience, and the food was good. I don’t know if I’d do it again, because I’ve already experienced it, but we enjoyed it! We...

    Shore excursions in Skagway

    We will be on Ovation this summer too. We plan to book all our excursions through private companies, or just go off on our own. 10 years ago we did an excursion through Royal.... ride up on the train, then a bus tour on the way back including a stop at Caribou Crossing for lunch.

    formal nights

    Lately on formal nights, my husband wears dress pants and a dress shirt. No tie and no jacket. (He just doesn’t want to pack them). He fits right in. People dressing in tuxes, and even suits on some cruises, seem to be in a minority. Some people will still wear jeans and a T-shirt on formal...
