    gratuities

    Personally, if there is a set gratuity added to any bill, that is all they get. I do this everywhere, not just on the ships. I figure since they are setting the gratuity, that is all they want.

    Need face moisturizer recommendations please......

    I use Oil of Olay....original. When I was going through menopause, I switched to the old Jergens cold cream. I would rub some on my face, then wipe it off. (This is how my Grandmother used to do it).

    Is it still possible to cruise without a mobile phone?

    Sounds like the whole cruising experience is not very user friendly for those of us that do not have cell phones. Up until covid it was not a problem.

    When Do You Start Your Prepwork and Packing for a Trip to WDW?

    I have a whole corner of my bedroom dedicated to vacation stuff......for both WDW and Disney cruises. There are some items that just stay in my suitcases. I've started planning a trip to WDW in 2023. I can't make reservations yet, but the spreadsheets and budget are already started.

    Self-service in Cabanas

    We were on a cruise once right after a norovirus outbreak and we were served Everything. After the first couple of days, I was used to it. It was definitely different, but do-able. I wouldn't mind it. I just want to sail already

    Best Tip or advice

    We always plan on having a "no park" day in the middle of our vacation, which is usually 7 nights. On our "no park" day, we go and visit other WDW resorts, maybe ride a monorail or 2 just for the experience, chill out by the pool. I don't know if you still can, but we would get free ice water...

    Ever Been Kind of Insulted By a Christmas Gift?

    One year for Christmas, my MIL gave me a robe. It was her favorite color and a style I didn't care for. I smiled and thanked her. When we got home, I was showing it to DH and he let me know that it would not fit me. I told him I would just exchange it........except........there were not...
