Oh yeah. It's a King's Ransom for me to drive from my home in Maryland back home to NY for all of our family events. EZ Pass/SunPass/Whateverelectronicpass for your state usually works just fine. At least MD still takes cash money at most places but I totally dig the Express toll lanes. MUCH...

So far, I'm not exactly enthusiastic about the change. There is one that I would have liked to have seen incorporated, but I guess they don't know how to program it. Since they only allow you to book one Palo Brunch at a time, they pretty much make you take a leap of faith if you want to...

Agreed. Plenty of other lines have ships sailing out of NYC Metro during the summer and they do pretty well.

My mother, a red wine aficionado, swears by the Jet Bags for her wine. As for chilling, ask your room attendant to bring you ice in the bucket and place your bottle in there.

I'm Celiac and thoroughly enjoyed Remy. And while I loooove seafood, I was SERIOUSLY tempted by a few options that were not seafood. Believe me, that's saying something. Go and enjoy. You'll love it!

As I’m watching it all unfold on the video I’m thinking, “Yup. I remember doing that very thing in my brand new car.” Backing out of a parking spot and didn’t see the planter box. I felt like a huge idiot. ::yes::

Look at that! Rice, Lactaid, Almond and Soy - along with dairy milk all the way on the right.

As for Vancouver... Keep in mind that 'high season' is 5/15-9/15 which is precisely when most cruise ships are cruising out of Vancouver. My experience with traveling to and from Vancouver from the Baltimore/Washington area for work is that flights, hotels, everything is more expensive during...

No, not that I have experienced. The 35% alcohol content is pretty good insurance as well as the fact that it doesn't really contain any macromolecules that are prone to spoilage. Can it lose some of it's 'oomph'? Perhaps. But my experience has shows the opposite. If some of the alcohol...

Wait, Pillow Fort? Well now! This changes everything. Time to change the ressie to Concierge. STAT. :rotfl2:

I'm trying to convince my husband to do the dance classes with me. :teeth:

I saw that you had joined our sailing! Our FB group, as you probably saw, is quite active and we're all terribly excited for embarkations day. It will be nice to meet you in person now that I've 'met' you all through the trip reports.

Correct. Caveat emptor. Nevertheless, when you are forced to cancel 2 days before sail away, even 90% back is better than 0% back - which is what you would get from any other insurance company without Cancel for any reason coverage. With that said, there are 100% cancel for any reason...

We get 'Cancel for any reason' coverage because my husband can get deployed unexpectedly and my position in my organization is such that our Top Dog can say, "I need you here. Sorry about your vacation". Yeah, I'll be awfully salty but at least I'll get my money back.

My cousin as well as my neighbor are commercial airline pilots who can fly 'big birds' and they have been moved from their regular routes and are now flying routes that include stops in FL to pick up folks getting out. So the airlines have been stepping up their resources to be able to move the...

I echo the sentiment stated previously: If you aren't a capable swimmer, choose a different activity. Snorkeling at CC isn't it. Furthermore, first time snorkeling in the ocean isn't the way to 'learn' to snorkel. If you know you want to snorkel on vacation, first take your equipment to your...

I'm SO happy to read this and the details. I had been wondering about the Shutters photo sessions and have been eyeing it up for this cruise. This cruise is for our 20th anniversary and I thought it might be nice to have some professional photos of us to commemorate it. But, $500 is maybe a...

So on our first DCL cruise in 2014 (7 night, 3 adults, 1 child) our total bill was ~$1000. It included Remy for the three of us, our gratuities, a mixology class for 2 of us, daily coffee at the cove for DH and the stingray excursion for 2 at CC. Back then, you could still bring spirits on...

So we were a 'Not At All' this time. Mainly because of time. We are doing the EBPC this time so we only hae the option of going before the cruise and, quite frankly, 17 total days away from home is enough - especially since I am not taking my young 12 yo progeny on this trip. I'm gonna have...

We visit KW at least twice a year and the activities already listed are good choices. I'll offer another: The Mel Fisher Maritime Museum is a fascinating place. If you belong to your cruises social media group/group thread and have a group of folks interested, you can secure a group rate for...
