Here are some we are looking at for September. http://www.neworleanscruisetips.com/new-orleans-hotels-with-cruise-parking/

We love the Seuss breakfast! Of course my 3 kids got seasick (rough waters that morning) and couldn't stay. But the rest of us at table had a blast. I waited for my kids food and took to the room (they didn't let me take all of it--no eggs/meat but I was able to take the french toast and desserts) for them to eat later. They can't wait to do it on this next cruise. They are 16, 14 & 13. :D

@mattmdv or anyone that has file, I would also love file. catrina2 at tenhouse dot com

Wonder if it was put in a dropbox if it could then be shared here, so everyone is not constantly having to send emails? Just an idea. :)

Also following. :D

Never heard of this one, going to look up on you tube now. Thanks.

Me either. Looks fun. :)

This is the version of the JuJu that my kids have been trying to teach their Dad. Since I can't post him doing it, I thought I would share really good people doing it.;p

The only song I distinctly remember from the Breeze a couple weeks ago was they taught everyone a dance that goes to the Taylor Swift song "Shake It Off". Sent from my iPhone using Forums

Will have to ask my kids if they know this one. :D

My favorite is the Couch Potato, where you just sit and watch people bust their ass :D

That's hubbys favorite also. :D

Thank you everyone! The kids have been teaching hubby JuJu and it is hysterical. I wish I could secretly film him and post it here but he would kill me. LOL

Anyone recently on Dream remember which songs they played at Sail away party? My kids are afraid hubby will embarrass them and want to start teaching him now. :D I've learned majority of them from dance competition awards my girls are in, so they aren't worried about me. LOL

Last cruise we were on they did: Wobble, YMCA, Cupid Shuffle, & Cha Cha Slide. Are there any new ones? Kids are hoping "JuJu on that beat" is played. ;p

Makes me laugh the things my kids are concerned about for the cruise.

If you hit "Control F" a box pops up and type in Dream then it will find all references for you. :D Much easier than scrolling through all the posts.

Just checked online and it says our kroger doesn't have them. :( But I am checking our Citi easydeals to see if I find anything.

Wait, WHAT?! I have not seen Carnival GC's at the store. Going to look today. LOL

Just got our credits posted. (paid Saturday, so charge posted Monday and today the credit posted) Hubby and I have same AMEX account but different #'s and sign ins, so we each got the $100 credit. Thank you for sharing this! We haven't used our AMEX in so long and had not signed in to see deals. :D

*We booked last year and just payed a little over $500 on each card to get deal.

We chose PM. On the first day we provide a tip for our expected great service and asked the steward to make sure we have towels and ice in the AM. It was the best decision for us. We like to shower after the day and before dinner so that was when the cabin needed tending. In the past, no matter how long we were gone in the AM, the steward would be in our room when we returned, it actually created stress between my husband and I, he wanted to wait till after we returned from breakfast and went out for the day to let them in, I wanted them in while we were at breakfast.

 

I don't look at it as "I pay for twice a day, I should get twice a day", I pay for my cabin to be tended to, bed made, towels replaced, ice, vacuuming, etc. so the room looks good. If that only takes once a day fine, if it takes more, so be it (we tend to be very tidy on a ship.) Once a day meets our service needs and PM service is the best for us.

We are the same! I like to sleep in and relax in the morning without being in the way of the steward. Plus I'm really not a fun morning person, so for the safety of all involved, we go for pm service. :')

Reading these posts just made me think, "First world problems". ;p

I didn't journal our last cruise. I planned on it but never got around to it. Luckily we took pictures every day, so that helps jog the memories.

Here are the journals I have for my daughters for this upcoming cruise. They are quit nice quality! I was honestly surprised since they were only little over $4 each! They are not real big, so easy to stick in purse or backpack.

I purchased this cruise journal for me last cruise, but realized it is only for 1 cruise. So instead I have been remaking the pages in word so I can print and bind my own. They are really nice but I want one for all my cruises. There were many pages that I didn't need. https://www.amazon.com/Cruise-Journal-Graphic-Arts-Center/dp/1558684182

So those that have used the plan before, do the other social plans work in cabins? I wasn't expecting them to work, so this would be a nice bonus for my girls if so. I had told them to expect the plan to only work on upper decks.

I never thought it was allowed. Most islands tell you not to remove. US Customs says you can't bring them in. I know on other lines we sail always a note in dailies and usually verbal reminders. Same as no food or fruits.

Exactly! This is why you should always look up customs rules before going to different countries.

I don't know if I should tell my kids about this or not. LOL

I appreciate how generous you are.

We do give the same tip you do, except giving a tip to our steward at the beginning of the cruise.

Aww thank you. But the credit goes to my Mom. She raised me to always thank the workers. We tip maids at hotels too. I always acknowledge and thank janitors, maids, cooks etc. :D

We are on the Dream in Sept. and my daughter is really hoping it works. ;p

Wow I am sad at how mean some posters have gotten. :(

We brought $100 in $1's when we went on our cruise. We had 2 rooms and always tipped RS well when they came. We asked for one pot of coffee at my Mom's room at 6am and one for hubby and I at 8am. They were always there on time with a smile. :) Never tipped less than $2 for each visit. My kids ordered cookies and milk every night and we tipped $5. We also gave our attendant (for both rooms) $20 at the beginning of the cruise and another $20 at end even though we pre-paid tips. He was awesome and always made sure we were well taken care of. I know we didn't need to, but he really was great and I feel that he went above and beyond for us and it deserved to be acknowledged.

My son loved Circle C on Fascination. They had lots of daily activities. Scavenger hunts, mini golf, lots of fun games. My kids loved the midnight activities. :)

How did it go?
