Royal Caribbean, Travel

On a recent Royal Caribbean cruise, we got a letter in our cabin from Port Valet.  This is a service offered by the Port of Seattle to check-in for your flight, receive your boarding passes, and have your luggage sent directly from outside your stateroom to your home airport.  We didn’t take advantage of this service on our cruise (because we were staying an additional night in Seattle), but it sounds very similar to a service offered by Disney Cruise Line. read more

One of the downside sometimes of getting free flights is that they tend to happen at odd times.  In this case, our flight to Seattle for our Alaska cruise was scheduled to leave Dulles at 7:00 am.  The night before our flight, I got an alert from United that our flight would be delayed by 30 minutes.  The message said that we should still show up on time, so that is what we planned on.  read more

I had the great privilege and honor to be invited on The DCL Dude podcast again for a game of “Carry It, Keep It, or Can It”!   Doug McKnight (of Rope Drop Radio), Sarah, Wes and I discuss which current Disney Cruise line amenities should be “Carried” over to the new ships, which ones are fine to “Keep” on the current fleet, and which ones should be “Canned”.  read more

Day 6
Day 6

It was the saddest day of the cruise, time to disembark the ship.  Luckily for us, we had two more days of vacation left before we had to head home.  We got up, drank some of our coffee that we ordered the night before, and then made sure our bags were ready.  We had a late breakfast scheduled back in Tiana’s Place, where we’d had dinner the night before.  We enjoyed one more look off our great balcony before heading to breakfast. read more

The Disney Cruise Line Spring 2018 itineraries were released near the end of October 2016.  We started scanning them as soon as they came out because we knew our Spring break trip for that year would be a DCL cruise.  We eventually decided to go back on the Magic as a follow up from our Christmas Cruise planned for December 2017.  The cruise we selected was a 5 night Bahamian cruise that left from Miami with stops at Key West, Nassau, and Castaway Cay.  We had previously sailed to Key West on the Wonder and loved the port.  We were also excited because there would be a sea day after Castaway Cay.  All of our other cruises spent the last full day at Castaway Cay, which kind of made the stop bitter sweet.  read more
