On one of our flights we had an hour to catch our next flight seemed like plenty of time except that we sat on the tarmac for 20 minutes and then when we got off the plane we were unloaded at gate 12 and our flight was at gate 56 now I know that you're going to a much smaller airport and at the gates will be closer but any think it happen if you're sitting on that tarmac waiting to get unloaded that seems like it's really gonna be stressful I would just rebook 

I've always wanted to do one of the klove  Cruises. One of my girlfriends went last year and she described it as many bands in many different locations on the ship some people playing simultaneously so you had to pick the ones that you wanted to see

 some played more than 1 day of course and so hopefully you could get to see every different group

 She said the fun thing was seeing them at dinner and at the pool and walking through the ship.

We have booked both ways and we've use different agents for most of the trips I like having a travel agent for the fact that we usually have a big group. that way everybody is taken care of everybody's on the same flight everybody's at dinner at the same time to me it just seems like it's easier to hand it over to somebody . and no there's never been a charge.

 It seems like in earlier days of cruising there were many more perks like breakfast on the balcony on board credits surprise berries when you arrived in your cabinet to seems like those things are kind of gone by the wayside.

Ashland do you happen to live in Ashland Oregon?

Thanks Ashland, I will check it out

 That helps a lot.

Thanks for the replies I figured as much that that child would need a car seat while in Florida I doubt that they would purchase an airline seat since the baby will not be 2 yet so probably on the lap I didn't know they were smaller cars seats that you could buy. 

 They may just feel safer having that car seat on all the excursions anyway I know I would.

I know that this has been asked a million times and maybe this isn't the best place to post this but here goes. 

My grandson and  his family  will be flying from Oregon to Florida with a 14 month old for a 7 day cruise.

What do they need to do about a carseat? Do they need  to haul theirs with them ?

Thank you, Kris

Whatever happened to the countdown clock?

The grandkids are 11 and 9 and yes, their will definitely be limits. I just read the post on the $800 arcade bill. Holly moly, I would have to  stay behind and do dishes for a month just to cover that expense

This is our first cruise on one of the biggie ships and the first with our grandchildren 

There are so many activities and I know that not everything is included  ( I wonder if I can keep the arcade a sectet ? )

Is the lazer tag a charge ? How about the trampoline?

This is the first time we have had to worry about kids,  it is usually all about which drink card to get lol

Thanks for your help

Kris 

Thank you for your great review and information.  My grandson is getting married Dec 2019 on the Dream. They are  being married before departure in Galveston. 

All that you have shared is good information. 

The last time we decorated our door  was for Valentine's day and someone stole every last heart. 

But. Our next cruise we are going for a wedding and I thought it would be cool to decorate their door.

Wow! I had no idea that the beverage package was so expensive

Thank you all so much for your replies. I just feel so badd for people who live there who have been kind and gracious to us who are now dealing with the possible loss of homes and the massive clean up

I have a friend that is cruising next week but on Holland. She is also wondering how this will affect the itinerary. 

Prayers for the  people of Mexico 

Because there is a cat 4 hurricane  moving between mazatlan znd Puerto vallarta

I have a co worker heading out next week. She is concerned

Thank you

Is there an itinerary change?

Awww, a limit through guest Services.  Good plan.

I could see getting a final bill for $1000. Then I would have to stay on the ship and do dishes for the next month. 

Holy Moly! I can see him wanting a ton of money. I guess he better start a fund.

This is the first time that we are cruising with children and watching a Youtube video I saw a huge arcade.

Now I know that the arcade is a pay to use , but how much is each game ? 

I want to have plenty of time for the kids to save money.

Im with those of you who use cruising as an excuse to dress up. I love the chance to wear something special so every meal I dress up and elegant nights more so.

If you dont care to dress up that doesnt matter to me or change how I will dress .

From experience I can tell you that my former son in law who had a record from years before, even though cleared up a long time ago

always got pulled aside returning from a cruise when we got to US customs

They always took him to the "special " room. It got to be so predictable that we quit freaking out

But it happened on all 3 cruises

Thank you for a great post.

I have like many of us who have cruised for a few years have seen some cutbacks. But, prices have remained pretty consistent .

I look at it like this, I am on the ocean. I have my husband all to myself. No work phone calls, no dishes to do no cooking. Tableclothes are lovely, not having one, not a deal breaker , Im still not cooking.

I think that to be able to relax, see other countries and make some new friends is a blessing that most of the world will never experience .

Perfect, hardly anything ever is But some of those imperfections are what great stories are made of
