We have used Park N Cruise many times with no complaints. They are my go to for PC parking.

Anyone have experience with Lots of Hope. My husband is retired Army, I have read they are veterans and donate to a portion to charity. Any input?

That's what I'm afraid of OVER PACKING !!

I don't usually take the quick 3 night cruises either, but this was one of those too good to pass up rates for a weekend getaway with just the husband. We will be celebrating his birthday.

I can pack for a family of 4, 7 night, 2 formals in 30 mins or less, I have my go to pieces. I don't usually cruise in the winter months, I tend to be cold in the dining room and theatres in the summer.

The more I am reading, it looks like the MDR dress code has become more relaxed. We are usually the ones dressed up when everyone else is in jeans.

I thought for this trip, I would try to lighten the load, pack one small bag and go with it.

Weekend getaway, 2 adults, Disney Dream, 1 carry on size bag each....What's in your bag?

No reservations for adult dining, we will eat MDR.

Thank you all for the reviews. I am debating on booking with Capt Bob. I am the worrier, I just know we will miss the boat back.....

Because of the reviews, I feel so much better booking with Capt Bob and I am looking forward to having the best day of our cruise.

Mitsugirlys- I am enjoying your review. We will be on the Dream for our second time in 16 days !!!

Our first time in 2010 was the cruise you took, we loved it. I will do the cave tube if we take that trip again.

Our next cruise is the other 7 day, going to Virgin Islands. I have never been there. I read your review of Sapphire Beach, this is where I think I want to go. My DS is a snorkle fanatic. He is a water baby much like your little one.

I don't see a Carnival excursion to Sapphire, so we would have to get a taxi. That isn't a problem from the port, but what about leaving, did you have any trouble getting a ride back the port?

Have you been to St Thomas? any reviews for it?

Thanks for your attention to detail ! Love the review.

BTW I purchased the Olympus Tough for my DS for Christmas, can't wait to see what he gets underwater on our trip.

Your review was wonderful, made me feel like I was right there with you. We sail on the 6 night in June, can't wait. Thank you so much for your review.

I am enjoying your review. Great pictures ! I love to get up early before the boat is awake and take sunrise pictures. Yours are wonderful. I am getting more excited about our June cruise on the Freedom.

Finally, it was our turn to start sailing out. We went up to the secret deck on the lido deck. There were only about 15 other people up there.

 

Do tell, where is the "secret" deck ?

 

We are a military family also, my DH just retired Nov. 1, 2011 from the Army, 20 years active duty.

Excited to read your review. I will be sailing this cruise in June with my husband for our 20th Anniversary.
