We are flying in from L.A and staying overnight at Holiday Inn Express Galveston on the Beach. The next day we take the hotel shuttle to the port (Disney Wonder). Are there any shops neat the HIE where I can buy a few bottles of wine?

After reading the threads, I checked my reservations and all 3 staterooms have been assigned ..Thanks all !

That's why there are other entrees available! Vegetarian options at every meal' date=' as well as multiple meat choices.[/quote']

 

Thanks...Yeah I am preferably a vegetarian but do eat Chicken and some fish once a while..

We have GTY rooms booked so won't know the stateroom number until checkin. Doesn't security and luggage drop off happen before checkin ?

Your cruise is in the "Very Merrytime" dates. There will be Christmas type decorations all over the public areas of the ship with associated activities. The only thing special for Thanksgiving is the traditional turkey dinner (there are other entrees available as well).

Thanks for info...Majority of the family members are vegetarians and I don't eat Turkey ... :D:D

We will be on Wonder during this Thanksgiving and I am wondering what would the specials be aboard the ship. We have never been on a cruise during Thanksgiving before and we are totally excited..decorations, fireworks, fool all Thanksgiving themed?

I have gotten these 2 rums in Grand Cayman before and was wondering if they are available in Nassau. We will be in DCL and I assume these bottles would be delivered to our stateroom on last day of cruise.. any info?

I read a few posts on getting souvenir passport stamps in Nassau which I guess is easy. We have never done it before so missed doing it last year in Cozumel, Roatan and Belize. But starting this year we will try all places we visit...just for fun..

Does Disney do anything of this sort in Castaway Cay?

Which ship? We celebrated our 15th anniversary on the Fantasy, and on our regular rotation dinner night at Animator's, Crush came by and wished us a happy anniversary and made us say 'I love you' to each other in whale (Because it's such a romantic language, cha!). It was a lot of fun and something we will always remember. This was in addition to the waiters singing and cake.

 

If you're on Magic or Wonder, Animator's is different and doesn't have the Crush show, so I'm guessing it wouldn't happen there.

we are on Wonder.

we are doing the 7 day Bahamas from Galveston as part of our 15 th wedding anniversary. I remember seeing a note of how DCL loves to celebrate guests occasions. If I tell DCL about it what do they really do? We are the non partying kind and want something special for us in our privacy and not make this occasion public. How do we do it?

Thanks

There used to be a a board where post cruise, folks would have their photos and details posted. Sorry if I missed it but I don't see that anywhere..

Thanks for your replies folks...

and we are on the Bahamas Nov 20 - 27 cruise on Wonder from Galveston. What are the chances we would be able to see the new movie on release day?

thanks

Is food on castaway cay free? How about non alcoholic drinks and icecream? I read somewhere the food is loaded from the ship to the island.

Everyone in the many threads talk about the hop on / hop off trolley. Are you guys talking about http://www.cityviewtrolleys.com/keywest/index.html one ? or is there a free one ?

I booked at the Holiday Inn resort - on the beach ....will park car and take shuttle for free..I don't need a nice hotel with a view as I will be arriving HOU at 10.15 pm and might be midnight when we reach the hotel ..and next day we leave anyway..

Holiday inn resort

Is that different from Holiday Inn Resort Galveston-On The Beach I mentioned above?

Hampton Inn & Suites does. You might also check Galveston.com website .... I think there are some other hotels that offer a park & sail plan.

No they don't. I just called and checked.

We are doing the Nov 20 Disney Bahamas cruise and 5 of us are flying in from L.A to Houston (HOU Hobby airport). We are reaching HOU at 10.15 pm and renting a car there so we can drive to Galveston the same night.

In Galveston I am looking for a hotel with 1) free shuttle back and forth to cruise terminal 2) free car parking for the cruise period 3) free breakfast.

So far these are what I have gotten but they miss one thing or the other..

1) Holiday Inn On the beach - free shuttle, free parking but no free breakfast

2) Holiday Inn Seawall - Free breakfast but $50 extra on top for shuttle and parking for the entire party.

3) Comfort Inn & Suites Beachfront - $50 park and shuttle for 4 people. No freebies.

4) Hampton Inn & Suite - Free breakfast but $50 per room for park and shuttle.

anyone can add more to this list?

Great reviews and photos. I noticed Colon details missing. Was there no excursion in Colon(Panama)?

Wife and daughter(10 yrs) are vegetarians and they always look for Indian food. Does anyone know if Indian food is served on Princess? Sorry not to hijack the thread but I know a lot of vegans who love/prefer Indian food.

I am looking for feedback from folks who took the 11 day Panama canal cruise. Especially how the ship is, servers and the ports themselves.

Thanks

I will be on Princess in Nov in eastern Carib and I am praying Princess has a ton of Indian food. We love Indian food ( wife, daughter, in laws)...Wife and daughter are vegetarians and they can eat Indian 3 meals a day. I agree with some of the earlier poster that most American food seem to be bland ,oily and unhealthy. I was on Carnival in April and they had Guy's burger joint....I tried the first day and that was the most disgusting thing I have ever had in my life...How can people eat all of that hyped Guys food?? I never went to that counter ever during my 7 days on the ship..
