Yes yes yes ! We have sailed over 20 times always get there early and are usually boarding by noon. But last cruise I finally saw post about FTTF and said why not so I watched and watched till I was able to get us one. Best decision ever, our ship was delayed because of fog docked around 3pm and we got on around 6pm then watched as people were still getting on at 10:30pm after sitting 8 hrs in the terminal waiting to board. When we got back same thing fog it was almost 5pm before we docked getting off in the first group was a blessing when you have a drive after to get home for work the next day.

It's not just on ship you see these careless parents, one cruise we had noticed the same children over and over again but they were not the problem the parents were. Actually heard the mom complaining because dad was supost to be watching and had gone off and left her to deal with them. The young girl came into the theater on night was up front upset because she was to meet her mom there of course she couldn't find her. So we asked a crew member we had talked to if she could stand on the stage to find her LOST MOM, because the little girl was not lost the mom was! The crew member ran with it and cheered up the little girl. Saw same mother trying to leave a very young boy sitting on a bench to wait for her and the daughter while they did the underground river again because he didn't want to! Luckily a park worker spotted this and told her no way was that going to happen. I think if your not supervising your children then you have no right to complain when someone says something to them you should have been there. I miss the railings instead of the solid glass that gets salt spray on it and hard to see clearly out to sea, but our first cruise I saw someone grap a toddler just as he squeezed between the railing so understand why ships have gone to the glass.

We love to go to Walt disney world the week after Thanksgiving its so amazing for Christmas and the crowds are less then. Then we do a three night disney cruise right after using there transportation best of both worlds.

I don't usually use the Internet while on a cruise, but I'm thinking it might be a good way for those taking care on my four legged kids(dogs) and my horses( one is almost blind and gets into trouble sometimes) to contact me with a message through Facebook. Would be nice if they didn't have to make some decisions on there own if needed, even though I trust whatever needed done they will do.
