On our first cruise we arrived at the port at about noon and got right on with about a 25 minute embarkation process.  That was in Port Canaveral.  So, after reading the boards between that cruise and our most recent one (October on Spirit), we decided to go earlier as many people said they frequently arrived early and were on the ship ...

San, We just returned from this cruise as well (the sailing after the OP).  We thought the water was choppier than the Caribbean.  We expected this to be the case at the beaches (bigger waves, etc.), but didn't think we would notice it on the ship.  However, we did.  My husband and daughter felt sick a few nights out of the ...

Hello.  We just returned from a cruise on Spirit and the cost was $3 to wash and $3 to dry.  On both of the cruises we have taken the laundry rooms were always busy.  I chose the wrong day to do laundry on Glory (a sea day).  On Spirit I chose a port day thinking it would be better, nope, still busy.  You'll get it in, ...

I am going to go against the majority and say I would bring more clothes.  I had to do laundry while on our last cruise and I don't want to do laundry on my vacation.  I didn't pack enough becasue I didn't know what to expect.  When we leave in two weeks I will be bringing more clothes.  After each day in port I ...

We did the private beach break through carnival last summer.  It was cheap and relaxing.  You can't debark and find a beach, you have to be taken to one.

I have to agree with Luv 2 Float.  I am not going to take the chance of being stuck in a foreign country without my passport.  We took ours off the ship every time on our last cruise, and will do so on our upcoming cruise as well.  Lots of people do the opposite, it is really what you are comfortable with.

I am so excited about this board!!  It sounds like we have people on two different sailings, but the same cruise.  We are on the 10/26 sailing. Hi Gaye!!!  It's Kelly from the 'other' board!!

Like many other questions on this board, there are different answers according to the expreiences people have.  On Glory last year our stateroom smelled HORRIBLY of smoke.  Our room steward told us that the people before us smoked constantly in the room, even though smoking is NOT allowed in the cabins.  However, some ...

Hi.  We are looking to book a group cruise also.  One question...it sounds like you guys booked a variety of different types of rooms.  Some how I was under the impression that all the cabins had to be the same type, i.e. all interiors or whatever.  Is that not the case? Thanks!!
