Not embarrassing except that I generally read EVERYTHING, so when I don't read everything it's weird to me. I never really made time on our first DCL cruise (3 nighter) to read the Navigator thoroughly, and missed things. The main one I missed was how Dine&Play worked; never did use that service!
How was it your mistake that the disney transport got you there late?
FWIW, that first night (I was told it's because of crossing the Bahamas Straits?) is the worst night of a normal-weather typical Bahamas cruise. I considered drugging myself that first night, but was glad i didn't, because I didn't have a single problem after that next morning. Even on a cruise where it was a bit bumpier I don't have problems other than being woozy on that first night. So being sick the first night out of FL doesn't necessarily mean you'll be sick the whole time.
Yikes! That's a lot.
If you think something costs money, you won't necessarily go close enough to find out.
He didn't starve. Gracious.
The non-planners won't listen to everything the planners say. And sometimes you don't know what they haven't heard until you're in the moment watching your husband drool over food he didn't hear you say was included.
You did just fine.
Aw, he's seen hangry people before.
Tip 1: some attendants don't know how to make the fancy things.
Tip 2: to get sunglass monkeys you have to leave sunglasses out and obvious in the room.
I think that's what PrincessS was saying; that you could still use Disney for flights, but you have to make sure it works for your risk-level etc.
7 nights being a short cruise! Woo! I like your style.
But the active ingredient in it is the one in dramamine.
From wiki: "Dimenhydrinate is a combination of two drugs: diphenhydramine and 8-chlorotheophylline." deminhydrinate is dramamine/gravol, an diphenhydramine is Benadryl. So they took the active ingredient in Benadryl and added 8-chlorotheophylline, which is "is a stimulant drug of the xanthine chemical class, with physiological effects similar to caffeine" to keep you from the drowsiness.
Bonine is meclizine, which is another antihistamine.
So the thing used for seasickness is actually an antihistamine. Which I did not know!
The one time DS took benadryl he took the liquid kind, and he amped up into madness because, it turned out, he cannot have the HFCS they use (or were using if it's changed) to sweeten it.
Our second rookie mistake was *taking* the DCL bus, especially from the resort! It just gets you there so late. I don't find the luggage thing to be that big of a deal.
I think you'd have to ask the non-planners in the households! It mystifies the planners, that's for sure!
