    "Cruise Insurance"

    I bought for both. When I put the info into the comparison website I use, I just include the dates and estimated dollar amount for the entire trip. (and don't forget to include your airfare!)

    Finally bit the bullet and booked on Celebrity.

    We've sailed her twice since Covid and have a third booked this fall! We love the Summit - the crew is AMAZING!! The ship doesn't feel old at all. My only suggestion on Alaska would be if you can get Glacier Bay with Princess, that would probably be worth trying to make it work. Oh! Just...

    Apparently it is stealing now to park at Springs to take a bus to the resorts?

    Has this changed? in the last year I've been able to pull up to the guard shack at the Poly and say I wanted to eat at Captain Cooks and have been allowed in.

    Too bad the fireworks receptions are horrible now.

    We purposefully did the desserts after the fireworks in July because both parties share the same real estate for the fireworks. The garden area was full 30 minutes prior to the fireworks. We were glad we had gotten there 45 minutes early to ensure a spot along the back fence to lean. I will say...

    Most missed Platinum perk?

    I wonder if that's unique to the Wish. I sailed the Magic on 9/11 and got the chocolates.

    Ferrytale Fireworks Seats

    When I attended that event prior to Covid, there were no seats on Ferrytale Fireworks cruises. It was all standing room only. I don't know if things have changed, but it was very easy to get a good lean spot on the railings.

    Pre-cruise hotel - What did you think of Intercontinental Biscayne Bay Hotel (in Miami)?

    If you're flying in the night before late, you might consider staying in the airport at the Miami International Hotel. There were packages that included breakfast (at the Margaritaville restaurant downstairs outside of security - really good breakfast!), and for us, when our scheduled 10:30pm...

    Poll: For those of you who have owned DVC greater than 5 years, do you plan to stay long term or sell?

    Long term, but definitely a change in how we use them. We'll be doing more Aulani/Vero Beach or giving family points or renting them, and much less time in the parks.

    Has anybody tried RCCL's Wonderland restaurant? Is it worth it?

    We loved it! Be open to trying everything, even if it's outside of your normal wheelhouse. For me, I don't particularly care for seafood, but I really enjoyed the little bites during the appetizer course! I found very little truly unusual food. Most of what made it unusual was how it was...

    Limited excursions?

    We found for our January cruise that excursions would be added as we got closer to the cruise. Keep checking back!

    Post all SW questions concerns, etc. here...

    I've even done this with Business Select fares! I must admit - holding A1 is very, very cool! :teeth:

    Last minute Cabana availability

    Sorry, just getting back after a lovely trip (where we sadly didn't get to dock at CC). No, we weren't concierge!

    Last minute Cabana availability

    Just a note to help you not give up hope when stalking cabanas on Castaway Cay!! We cruise this Saturday, and I logged in yesterday evening and we found several cabanas available for booking! I don't know if they were holding them, or if there were some cancellations, although I think they had...

    Alaska - Seattle vs Vancouver

    So, personally as much as I love DCL (I'm platinum), I would recommend Princess for Alaska because they have access to Glacier Bay. But as others have said, if you're truly just looking at departure for the cruise and not spending a few days ahead, then Seattle is great. if you want a mini-trip...

    Disney Cruise vs Celebrity Cruise pricing

    Platinum DCL here as well, and we loved Celebrity when we first tried them this summer on the Summit. The main difference we found was in the Broadway-style shows, obviously DCL won there. But for food, service and general enjoyment we felt they were equal. And we loved having the prepaid...

    Will DCL move to testing at home instead of at port?

    Having cruised both ways in the last couple of months, my preference is at port testing. To me and my family, that was much less stressful than worrying about finding the correct affordable test that will provide results in the correct timeframe for the cruise.

    Paying dues in advance?

    I didn't know that! I've been saving my gift cards to enter next year! Thank you!

    Vero Beach Coffee Makers?

    Last week it was a basket, and they provided the Joffrey's 50th anniversary blend!

    OKW 2 Bdrm or SSR Treehouse?

    We loved the THVs for a big group - however I won't ever stay there without a car. The double bus ride at the end of the day was too much.
