Since the rules for bringing your own alcohol onto the ship have changed, I though it would be a good idea to go over the current DCL policy. Until recently, you were allowed to bring as much alcohol, of any type, onto the ship provided that you carried it on (i.e. you were not allowed […]

How I Stay Organized While Traveling
I have traveled by airplane more times in this past year than I have in the last 10 years combined. Off the top of my head, I can think of 6 round trip flights last year, 4 of those with 3 kids in tow, and 2 of those with 3 kids in tow by myself, […]
My Review of the Live Stage Shows on Disney Cruise Line
One of my family’s favorite things on a Disney Cruise are the live stage shows. Even my husband loves them and looks forward to them. They are spectacular productions and so well done. They would be impressive on land, and when you consider that they perform these things on a cruise ship, it is really […]
The Alaska Cruise Handbook: A Mile-by-Mile Guide 2012 Edition
I bought this book earlier in the year when I had high hopes of sailing to Alaska in 2016. Sadly, it is looking like that is not going to happen (nothing like a cross country move and cancer diagnosis to get in the way of vacation plans!), so I have moved my high hopes to […]

Trip Report Day 6: Very Merrytime 7 Night Western Caribbean Cruise on the Disney Wonder
Note: You can see the daily navigators for this cruise here. Day 6 was the first of 2 sea days in a row which were also the last 2 days of our cruise. I love ending a cruise with at least 1 sea day and 2 is even better. It just makes it easier to […]
