    Posting for a Friend who left kids passports at home. Can they get on

    No, it says: Original or copy of their state-issued birth certificate AND a physical Government-issued photo ID (digital/mobile state-issued IDs are not acceptable to sail) ETA: Strongly recommend calling DCL, they may Bippity Boppity Boo and make it all work with photocopies

    Posting for a Friend who left kids passports at home. Can they get on

    Looks like they need the originals' not photocopies (not sure what gov't issued ID an under 15 would have). Odd that the Global entry doesn't count

    Castaway Cay Wind Concern!

    Based on the artist rendition, it's infinitely easier to pull alongside at LP vs CC

    On a Wish 3 Night, we upgraded from Cat 11 to Cat 4A for $800 (2A sailing). This was the Dec 15 2023 Merrytime sailing

    Share your "small joys" of cruising!

    Walking across the brow to the ship, I always feel warm inside and a wide grin shows up on my face. It's almost reflexive.

    COVID cancel policy

    I'd call DCL to confirm. That's not something I'd want to leave to chance and others experience/opinion on a chat board

    We did an 11 night Southern Carib on Fantasy, and yes, there was a Pirate night

    Baja coast and rain

    Not necessarily. Int'l waters is a big deal for warships, fishing/commercial (which extends out to 200 NM) and others (e.g. offshore drilling). For passenger vessels like cruise ships, course is determined by safe navigation and weather

    Baja coast and rain

    We did the 7 Night Mex Riviera in Feb '23. The weather was horrible. Much rain, cold and the absolutely most a-typical SoCal weather to be found (DW is SD born and bred; we met there when I was stationed in SD). We did the usual Baja course to Cabo on the Wonder and shoved through the...

    Castaway Cay Wind Concern!

    We've been to CC 18 times and only missed once due to weather. It happens, but it's unusual in our experience

    Just returned from the Carnival Mardi Gras

    Thanks for the review; interesting commentary for comparison to DCL. We've cruised Celebrity also (one and done for us), and really have no intention of trying CCL, though the Mardi Gras had overall favorable reviews. This review slots nicely into the data fields for future considerations...

    DCL Picture of the Day - Part 6

    Great story; I was an officer in then USS CHANCELLORSVILLE (CG 62), now USS ROBERT F SMALLS, when we were tied up in Pearl over at Ford Island preparing to do a post overhaul missile firing over off the western side of Kaui. I get up one morning and the Missouri was being towed in and she was...

    Am I crazy? Would you try this?

    If you can hang with being a bit wiped out the first day; go for it. I'd do it. For peace of mind, get trip insurance in case everything that could go wrong does go wrong

    Conflicting onboard credit refund info

    I purchase the digital gift cards online at Target; my spreadsheet for each cruise includes the numbers/EAN for each gift card and the amount. Much easier to manage than physical cards

    Conflicting onboard credit refund info

    For our last 4 cruises, I've had refunds of gift cards. It's a bit exciting 'discovering' which one/s the $$ went on. I go to https://disneygiftcard.com/Manage/MyCards to figure out which one the cash has been refunded to. It's supposed to be last in first out, but it's not always been that...

    Construction Update Pics - Lookout Cay at LHP

    I gotta say, 'True-True Too' is a bit of a mouth full. I think I'll call it T3. Much easier :D
