I’ve been skimming the posts for the last 2 weeks. We were at Disney World and then a 4 day cruise on Independence of the Seas, because we were in Florida anyhow…😁 We are not going to sell the Disney Vacation Club (we own at the Boardwalk) , although we were thinking of it. We had a great time, even though my knees are being a problem. I think I have pulled ligaments on the inside of both knees. I will wait to see if it gets better on it own. I am indignant. I walk; this shouldn’t be a problem. Although it is. The cruise was very relaxing, despite a couple of hundred college kids being on it I kind of forgot about March Reading Week. When I was in university, we actually studied and wrote papers during that week! Once a day housekeeping is not ideal, but we’re not messy. We had a promenade view cabin- I like the 2 couches, but I am not really a fan. However, the cruise wasn’t why we went down to Florida. We only saw person who really should have drawn the curtains, although one tries to look down rather than across so as not to be a creep!

Fish & Chips on Independence of the Seas
StanleyandGus replied to jstew1's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I didn’t take a picture, but there’s fish and chips, shrimp and chips, chicken fingers and chips, and I believe a chicken or fish sandwich. -
Flying to Florida a day before the cruise. Where to stay?
StanleyandGus replied to K and S's topic in Canadian Cruisers
We’re on a ship now. We used Cortrans to get to Port Canaveral, and the service was excellent. The driver, Stephanie, was slightly early at our Disney hotel, and drove very well. Based on my single experience, I would recommend them. -

We have Cortrans booked. They have a good reputation, but we haven’t used yet. If no one else answers, I will let you know how it was. We are staying at Disney World beforehand, so no recommendations on hotels. -
Driving From Saskatchewan to Galveston
StanleyandGus replied to StanleyandGus's topic in Canadian Cruisers
Thanks for everyone’s input- if we ever do this, we will fly if it’s a winter trip. -
We’re going to Disney next month (and then a 4 day cruise, because we are going to be in Florida already … that was a mission creep moment…) We are doing much the same thing. The passes were bought years ago, and we’re staying in the DVC Boardwalk Villas, with a view to selling it. We sort of feel that the changes might be too much, although we’re trying to have open minds. Unfortunately, our daughter now has a one year old, and Disney is starting to look appealing to her!

Excellent! I love those TripTicks! -
Driving From Saskatchewan to Galveston
StanleyandGus replied to StanleyandGus's topic in Canadian Cruisers
I don’t think CAA does those any more- I loved those as well! It’s sort of south east through North Dakota, and then south to Galveston. Well, it is going the route I am thinking of. -
How very Canadian of you! Good luck with rapid healing.

Driving From Saskatchewan to Galveston
StanleyandGus replied to StanleyandGus's topic in Canadian Cruisers
Because we like to drive and we can’t fly direct anywhere except Calgary and Toronto (for now). Probably the weather is a bit worse, but that’s kind of luck of the draw. -

Thanks! We wouldn’t be going in the summer, because summer here is really nice! -
Driving From Saskatchewan to Galveston
StanleyandGus replied to StanleyandGus's topic in Canadian Cruisers
Thanks for your responses. I did look at Google maps, so I’m sort of aware of the route (essentially, after North Dakota, it’s straight south), hopefully on reasonable highways. It’s something that I am idly thinking of. The next couple of cruises were flying into, but the drive might be interesting. -
We have driven to Orlando from Ottawa and Barrie, but this would be new for us. Has anybody done this, and is there a recommended route? Our starting point would be Regina. Any hotels on route would be welcome information as well.
