  1. Hi all! So I just redeemed on MyVegas a 7 night cruise on the Pride from Baltimore. It has to be taken before end of July 2018. We have never sailed with Carnival nor with my autistic 8 yr old son. We have DCL before but before he was born. I have two other daughters who will be almost 12 and 14 when we go and am unsure when we should cruise. I cannot pull the girls out of school, they are both in gifted programs that missing a week of would be killer plus we have state testing they cant miss. So we can book anytime after June 1st through July 31 or spring break the first week of April is open for the kids. Any suggestions? I have 12 days before I have to book a date....

  2. Interested in the answer to this question as well, if anyone has tried redeeming a comp cabin for more than 2 people (i.e. 2 adults + 1 kid).

     

    They told me I could, but it's full rate per child. We didn't book it, it was pretty expensive

  3. does anyone know when they usually update? would love to score a free cruise, have close to a million lps. One of the OBC ones dates look good, but I have a feeling the discount doesnt amount to much more than posted rates...

  4. I think the Magic is a great ship for kids, lots of fun stuff to do. Water slides, splash area, ropes course, mini golf, etc. when we were last on the Magic an autism group sailed with us, sorry I don't remember their official name, but maybe you can do a search and find reviews from them. It was April 2015.

    thank you!

  5. Hi all. We just got back from a Disney Land vacation and just started planning next years vacation. I KNOW I want to cruise, as do the kids, but just am overwhelmed and honestly unsure of what to book through who.

     

    I am mom to 3 wonderful children, 2 girls who will be 12 and 10 when we go and a wonderful son who will be 7, who is autistic, medicated, but is mainstreaming in public schools at this time. I am 48, hubby will be 55.

     

    We are looking on a tight budget and have been looking towards Carnival since we can do 5 in an OV or 2 insides within our budget. We need to keep our cruise cost below $3500 ( not including travel and tips). We are open to cruise from November through 1st week of January. Hubby is a truck driver and that's their only slow time he can take off.

     

    We are hoping to do a 7-8 day cruise. We have only cruised once before, 2008, Disney Magic Western Carib. when my kids were little. Disney is out of our budget for this trip and honestly, after two weeks there last month, I am Disneyed out.

     

    I am looking for something in budget, willing to do most of the southern departure ports with a great kids club so me and hubby can have so very much needed time alone. Something we have had rarely since Wyatt was born. We are not really worried about ports to visit, taking our son off ship to ports would definitely be a chore, he doesnt adjust to change well and enjoys structure. Would love to hear suggestions, help, ways to get deals etc. I have been perusing CC for a couple years now, this time we are definitely ready to book...I tentatively put a hold on a Southern cruise on the Magic already, but not sure about it. THinking we do want Southern or Eastern though. Tia!

  6. Same here except my reason to book was Lady A. I had been looking at the 6 day Breeze cruise anyway for our anniversary cruise. Adding Lady A to the mix made me pull the trigger and book. The price had not gone up since the last time I looked at it. I had front row seats to a Lady A concert that got cancelled a couple of months ago. Now I get the best of both-- a cruise and a concert.

     

    Oh I bet Lady A will be awesome. Have a great time. I think there will be probably be others who were on the fence on booking a cruise and the artists playing will help them decide. Extra port time for those that are not into the concerts is a great plus too!

  7. Well, this is what finally pushed me to book, to see Daughtery. We have been watching the cruise for weeks now out of Jax, been debating for over a month now since we have only cruised Disney before and wanted a vacation that was cheap after a really rough year. $1260 for a 5 day Bahama vacay plus the lil extra to see Daughtery, just too perfect for us. Had a 24 hr hold this morning and then hubby paid it when I told him to go ahead tonight, price had not changed at all in the last month or since the announcement. Cant wait!!
