Yes Galveston is a good market but I would think that New Orleans would be as well since you can make it a vacation before the vacation and the trip down the Mississippi is said to be one of a kind. Of course I am just speculating since we do our first Nola in just under 50 days but we are looking so forward to it. since we have only cruised from Galveston.

here is a link that should be to current funtimes for the eastern itinerary hope this helps you should be able to look and see which nights formal are on http://johnhealdsblog.com/icons/folder.gif

Thank you for coming back to post what they did glad y'all had a great 4th it sounds

great start we are surprising our 15 year old he will turn 16 on the dream... :) not going to find out until we are on the shuttle to the ship :) :D

I for another am all for enforcing the dress code. I don't think the sundresses that go over bathing suits should be allowed either and as a parent because my teen is a reflection on me if he is coming with us to the dining room he knows that he is to be at the room to be showered and dressed by 5 as we normally have anytime dining or early seating. although my teen would not attempt to go to dinner in shorts... he loves his tux and would wear it to dinner every night... no matter what the age a passenger should not be talked to in a rude manner

and I have seen posts here with people that were turned away with copies. Why chance it?

You can use a copy as long as it is a certified copy.. one from the gov. office not office depot.

the magic does have a lot more to do for families and is a bigger ship so you might wanna keep that in mind.. but we had a spa cabin on the magic that included the steam rooms and the pools where kids were not allowed and it was awesome... I am sorry I can not help with the sunshine as have not cruised it. we did do the conquest and prefer the larger ships..

great start looking forward to more....

Congratulations on getting your citizenship.. but there is nothing dreaded about the immigration officials they just like everyone else are just doing a job. as we have seen too often lately a very needed one. if you choose to cruise then you do choose to answer their questions.

our teens 14 and 17 at the time did sleep on deck one night they had asked permission of one of the security officers and they sent them to guest services who called us to ask and make sure we would know where they were and said if any problems they would be in their cabin for remainder of cruise.. they said it was just like camping.. they had wanted to sleep in our yard but we live about 2 miles from Neuvo Laredo, mx so it is not safe to do here

congrats on your ship on a stick your real prize was getting to visit with old friends and spend priceless time with your mom

thank you for posting the ? I needed the answer as well because we are doing a b2b and I don't wanna carry enough clothes for 3 people for 14 days

2 breath right strips There wasn't much in the basket.

 

I wish I were back on board. Have a great trip!!

wish our neighbors on our last cruise would have used those lol they were 2 doors down and we could still hear them snoring... no wonder the boat was rocking... lmao

DONT stay by the ship! Go to Tabayana. We use Christopher Tours and its way cheaper then the ship. They treat you like family. They will even take you to an awesome zipline place that is better then at the port if you want.

I have heard that in Roatan there is a zipline that does not require climbing is that by chance the one they take you too? just questioning as our ds will turn 16 and wants to try he has permission from his cardiologist to do the zip as long as I can find one that does not have him climbing.

I am glad that your persistence paid off. hopefully mine will as well I am hoping anyway

thank you so much for the replies... we enjoyed the spa on our cruise on the magic now just have to see if it is worth the difference on the dream

We have only felt motion on one ship... The triumph.... we felt like and walked like we were drunk... OOPS we don't drink... our friend that was with us and does walked straighter after she had too many... lol

Hi I have been in the same situation many times as I am remarried and my children have my ex's last name. I always carry my divorce papers which detail custody if they were not married maybe she has the document from where he gave up rights. just in case they do ask.. I have never been asked in 9 cruises but always carry them in case

thank you for taking the time we enjoyed a b2b on the triumph some time ago... 2012 I believe.

I am wondering if anyone knows the current pricing for the day/week pass for the spa pool/steam rooms on the dream we are going on August 24 for a b2b and although we are in a spa room my mom is not and would like to be able to upgrade her to this

we have 10203 for our b2b in late August I cant wait it is such a hard secret to keep ha ha but it will be worth it

Jenn Thank you so much for the time.

just wondering what part of Maine is your MIL from I grew up in Portland and have lived pretty much all over the state lol I went to school in Bangor and Fort Kent I love it up there but alast I married a gov. man and we live as close to Mexico as we can get in Laredo Tx funny never thought I would go from way up north to way down south..

Hi Tao Traveller

welcome to cc. for Belize for the ruins we did a private tour with Nacho and Cynthia and I would highly recommend this. We were at the ruins the same time that the ship excursions were there we arrived before and left after and watched them get hurded from place to place while we enjoyed a nice leisurely tour. Nacho is very knowledgeable and very funny he has a great sense of humor. His prices are very reasonable for the service he provides he was waiting for us at the pier and was great at watching the time and created the tour just for us and was very aware of the ship schedules and made sure to have us back to the ship in plenty of time. In fact we loved them so much we have them booked for both weeks of our b2b in late august

I am glad you had a great time. we sail on her the end of August.. for a b2b and I can't wait. if you did save any of the fun times I know lots would appreciate it. and of course me for 1.... I like to plan plan plan...

especially since this will be close to our last milestone birthday he deserves this... we with the great amazing God guiding the way have taken a child that medical science said would not see 1 and he will turn 16 on the carnival dream... amazing.. he was born with some really major heart defects and has undergone 7 open heart surgeries after the last surgery he died on the operating table it took them almost an hour to revive him enough that they could put him on ECMO(life support) he was going to turn 9 the next day (or this year boarding day) so that was 7 years ago.. it has been a long journey but we have seen God's work first hand and are confident he is not yet done but we know that his body is growing tired and have not found a surgeon that is willing to put him back in for another surgery and honestly he says he does not want another. he is my strength without him I would be lost
