We've done 4 Disney cruises and I must say that the longer the cruise, the better!! Some like the 3, 4 or 7 day trips but with Disney in particular, it's just not long enough. I've done and 11 and 12 day--and had a much better time.

My wife and I went on a Carnival boat about a decade ago. We were surprised that it was nicer ship and experience than we'd expected. However, there was one big problem...the bed. Even though we were in suite, the mattress was prison-quality---super-thin and VERY uncomfortable. I hope the cruise line has changed these--I know some other cruise lines have. I was possibly looking into sailing on the Pride or Paradise and wondered how the beds were now. I am not necessarily looking for a suite--just the average cabin's bed. Thanks for your feedback.

My boat doesn't arrive until 10am--so it looks like I'm stuck like you!

Any suggestions for good scuba operators in either location? Thanks for any input.

Hello--I'll be taking a cross-Pacific cruise in a few weeks and am frustrated trying to find information about dive operators in Fiji and New Caledonia that can accommodate us during our brief stay on the islands. Many shops are either too far away or don't seem to be available for the times/days we need. Any suggestions about either would be appreciated. In particular, too many shops seem too far from the port at Lautoka, Fiji and there just isn't much info on the internet about diving New Caledonia to know if it's even worth doing. Thanks for ANY help!
