I will go on Magic again, but NEVER again out of Norfolk.  Workers were busting their tails, but the infrastructure is just not able to handle the volume of people.

I would read through the disabled cruisers forum as well. 

Thank you!  Found it under special interests and hadn't seen it prior to your suggestion!

Can't help with distilled water. Ask the cabin steward for two extensions. Store the insulin in the fridge or the medical staff will store it for you. My understanding the insulin will be just fine in a backpack or another type of bag during the port day. There are company's that rent scooters to cruisers and deliver to ship. Scooters must be kept in your cabin, right in the middle of the cabin, no storage space available on the ship. Put your luggage out the night before, when you reach the area where you pick up your luggage, find a porter ( they are all over ), to haul your luggage to your transportation home. Those slow lazy vacations are great. Got back in December from two lazy ones, no excursions, all beach days.

 

We are staying on board for kids to do water slides in Nassau.  Beach day at Princess Cays.  Margaritaville pool at Grand Turk.  Don't have to be anywhere if we don't want to be, etc.  Can't wait!  We did a 4 port stop in 2019 and had an excursion every port and came home as tired as we left! 😄 

Hi!  Not new to cruising, but first time bringing on-board elderly relatives that have some limitations and medical needs.  I want to make sure they are comfortable and that I can make it seemless for them.

Thanks in advance for all help!

We are sailing as a family of 5 with adjoining rooms.  2 of the 5 have walking limitations and 2 of the 5 are kids under 10.  The kids and I will be only ones able to carry and walk from garage in Port Canaveral.  Typically, I'd drop luggage off and park and hand carry carry ons through check in for embarkation and security but I think I will have too much for us to hand carry-CPAPs, medication, etc.  What options do I have to limit walking for 2 and any assistance with carryons?

I believe I can order distilled water for CPAPs and need power cord with adapter for more than 1 CPAP in stateroom.  Can someone confirm my understanding?

There is a mini fridge for insulin on Freedom, correct?  Any tips or tricks for insulin storage ideas for port days?

Considering a scooter rental on-board bc one of my passengers is worried they will slow the group down.  (Their worry not mine bc I'm planning a slow lazy vacation after a hectic few months of work.)  Where do those store in cabins?  Any feedback on experience of the scooter rental is helpful. 

Any assistance with disembarking?  We always hand carried everything off but that definitely isn't possible this time.  

Thanks again!  I'm excited to take new cruisers and complete a bucket list trip but need some help so I know how to orchestrate it!

Thank you!  I assumed so, but wasnt sure if it was automatic with a casino offer.

I just went on a cruise in June and now I have two casino offers being emailed to me.

Money off cruise rate, onboard credit, and reduced deposit.  Both offers look the same but have different codes on them.

I can't tell if drinks on us are included with either offer code.  Would it be clearly listed if included in the offer?

So this will sound nuts but...I booked one on the Magic.  We were bringing our 5 year old on his first cruise and wanted a balcony for extra space.  I was scared he would somehow get out while we slept and I figured a broken leg or something would be better than the alternative.  I was near the doors in the ocean plaza on the bbq side.  The noise from inside was nothing but the bbq rattling around on rough seas was horrible.  My husband would say I'm nuts lol.

I leave Saturday on Breeze deck 6 for the EXACT rationale!!

Cant wait to read! We leave on same ship/itinerary in 11 days!!!

Thank you all! 

I am just making sure I am packing correctly for a cruise in 11 days!!!  ❤️ ❤️

I think I can wear jeans or jean capris to dinner with a blouse (no tshirts, right?) every night except elegant night.  Swap out jeans for black dress pants and a blouse and be good for elegant night also.

My husband can do polo shirts (still assuming no tshirts) and jeans and swap out the jeans for khakis on elegant night.

The really tough ones .. 7 and 4 year old boys that hate wearing anything but tshirts/athletic shorts and pants.  Can they get away with tshirts and khaki shorts on most nights and then polo shirt for elegant nights only?  How do you see the little ones dressed in main dining room?

Thanks for the help!  First time cruising in 9 years and first time with kids...
