    Itinerary for a day and where to watch the night shows without wait?

    There is a current special where you can get an Adult 1 day ticket for the kids price from now until May 5th. Just FYI.

    Snorkeling Experience

    Depending on which excursion you are considering you may be in open water from a boat, or walking out from a beach. Look at the Disney port adventure descriptions and they should mention if your excursion includes a boat ride (if none is mentioned your probably walking out from a beach). If...

    San Diego Port procedures

    The queues with PAT times only were the next 3-4 PAT times. I saw people who showed up 2 hours early just sitting on the curb area of the pier with all their luggage waiting for their PAT time to get closer. This is a port that seems to lend itself to don't show up late, don't show up to early...

    San Diego Port procedures

    In my experience, the different PAT times line up in roped off queues outside the terminal. They had small signs that said which line was which time. We chose not to arrive early and line up in the hot sun with no shade for an hour, and showed up right at our PAT, which seemed to cause all manor...

    April 26, 2022 -10-Night Hawaiian Cruise from Vancouver to Honolulu (Nawiliwili, Nawiliwili, Kahului, Honolulu, Honolulu)

    Nope, but I believe if we had one it was during the first week while we were at sea. I really don't remember it at all. Hopefully someone does.

    Reef Safe Sunscreen

    Blue Lizard is great, I love the little travel size sticks for day trips and for carry on only trips. Neutrogena also makes a zinc sunscreen that I believe is reef safe. I've used it as well and liked it.

    How do you get the rare character appearances on DCL? (Princess Minnie and Daisy, Sleeping Goofy)

    Go on a crossing cruise. Transatlantic and South Pacific cruises have a lot of sea days and they need to fill that time with a variety of characters.

    Mediterranean Cruise Room Availability

    Far to fly for US travelers, hot weather for touring, and the Dream has a lot more rooms than the Magic (which was the previous DCL ship that sailed the Med.)

    15 Night South Pacific cruise

    It was one of the most casually dressed cruises I've been on. I'd hazard to guess with the length of the trip required for the cruise and the long flights for most people to get to/return from the cruise, that people just didn't want to bother packing a ton of formal wear.

    Itinerary for a day and where to watch the night shows without wait?

    Just FYI Rock 'N Roller Coaster is now Avengers Assemble: Flight Force. Same track layout, different effects. Ratatouille is the same as in WDW if you've been on it there. Spiderman's WEB is the same as in Disneyland, CA (but in french). Small World is definitely not almost identical. It just...

    Golden Week?

    I ended up in Aulani once during an unexpected (to me) school holiday period and Aulani was packed. I could see the differences in how crowded it was compared to a previous trip during a non-school holiday. Areas around the pools were full and it was challenging to get a lounge chair, but...

    October 13th, 2023 - 13-Night South Pacific Cruise from Honolulu to Sydney

    The National Park is not walking distance from the port, only the National Park visitors center is. The Visitors center is located in town, not in the actual national park. You can get your National Park stamp there however.

    Help me with Alaska

    I think the answer to this question depends on what you want to do the next day and how you think you'll feel arriving in the middle of the night on your time zone? There is a hotel inside the airport, it's an easy choice to get off a late flight and just crash here. Wake up refreshed in the...

    South Pacific excursions

    The DCL Port Adventures sell out very quickly. They had very limited spots for things like snorkeling. It was challenging to book private adventures on your own, there are not a ton of options. In New Calidonia the Wonder docked inside a secure area so you have to take a short complementary bus...

    Languages on Mediterranean

    On one cruise, I believe it was the Northern European cruise, we got announcements in English and Spanish daily.

    An odd but very emotional question

    On some cruises the navigator will have an activity that is Grandparens show and tell time. I don't remember the name, but it's a place to go chat it up about your grandkids etc. Never been, but maybe if it's offered on your cruise its a place to meet people in his age group.

    Status of H2O+ amenities

    Confirm that currently on the Wonder it's the same bottles with stickers that come unstuck often on all the bottles covering up the H2O logo with the same products inside.

    October 13th, 2023 - 13-Night South Pacific Cruise from Honolulu to Sydney

    The snorkeling in these ports was some of the best I've done. If you enjoy coral and fish spotting I'd say it's a must do. If you enjoy going out on your own, and are ok with just grabbing a taxi/tour guide after you get off the boat and negotiating a day rate, I saw plenty of that type of...

    Glad they seem to have resolved the issues from early this year.
