A roller coaster

Disney's new ship the Dream has a water coaster.

a water baloon fight

a bike trail

(hopefully not) a wave pool

golf carts

Go on the pool deck during rough seas. On the Disney Magic last Oct., we had storms one night and the ship was rocking so much that the water was splashing out of the pool and it looked like a wave pool.

Dang...I am wayyyyyyy too bored here at work today !! When I started reading this thread my mind went into overdrive !!.......lol. Let's see......how about.....

 

* A Yard Sale on the Lido deck

* A No-Alcohol cruise

* Table mates that ANYONE would be overjoyed to dine with

* A clothes line out on deck for everyone to use so that they can get that fresh-sun dried smell in all their clothes

* A cotton candy / popcorn machine.....or maybe a boiled peanut stand

* A pet hotel

 

hmmmmmmmmmm.............thinking...................thinking...........lol :) :)

I would actually vote for the cotton candy machine. I love the stuff.

I am considering booking a cruise on FOS and I am gathering information. I have cruised twice, but both were on Disney. We have decided to try something different and right now, it looks like it will be FOS. Here are my questions:

1. Disney has self-serve drink stations by the pool and soda is free. I know from reading this thread that FOS does not. Where is the closest place to get drinks and how far is that from the pool area?

2. How are tips handled on FOS? Do they automatically tack them on to your account? If so, how much is added? Do you hand deliver them on the last night? Is there a recommended amount that we should give?

3. On Disney, you can ship boxes to the port from home and when you arrive at the ship, they are waiting for you in your cabin. Can you do this with RCI also? Can anyone that has done this tell me if the information on the mailing label is different in any way other than obviously the name of the ship will be different?

4. I saw a post about getting a ticket to the ice show even though it is free. Do they assign you to a show at random or do you get to choose which show you want to watch?

5. I saw that Chops and Portofino allow children in if the reservation is before 6:30. What is the age cut off over 6:30? Does the reservation have to begin before 6:30, or will be expected to be finished eating by 6:30? What is the dress code for these two restaurants if you go before 6:30? Obviously, we would not go in shorts or swimsuits and coverups, but is dress causual alright?

6. On my first cruise, I had a bad experience with my credit card. As everyone esle did, I put down my cc at the beginning of the cruise and at the end, they just charge everything to the card. The problem was when I received the statement, the charge was several thousand dollars more than it should have been. I did eventually get this straightened out and my cc account was credited for the difference, but it took months and numerous long distance telephone calls. For my second cruise, Disney allowed me to bring cash money. Instead of giving them the cc, I gave $1,500.00. I was allowed to charge to the room card as normal and was just told that I would be cut off once I spent the full $1,500.00. It was just my daughter and myself and we did not spend all the money and the difference was reimbursed to me on last morning. My question is.......will RCI allow me to put down money also, or will I have to leave a cc with them? I read on here somewhere that a family went with cash money, they would not accept that and the family had to borrow a friends cc to put down before they could charge anything to their cards.

Well, that's all I ask for now. If I try to ask everything at once, this will be a mile long.

We are leaving home in 1 hour to drive to the East coast to board the Freedom. I can't believe it is finally time to go.

I looked at the web cam to see her waiting for us and the web cam is not working :confused: but I know she will be there!!!!!!

We're excited:)

You have already left out, but just in case you check in again........HAVE A WONDERFUL TIME!!!!!!1

I have the Eastern Compasses & Daily Menus. I know NOTHING about Photobucket - but I would be happy to email to someone who could put into a form that anyone reading this thread could click on & save.

 

I have emailed to about 40 since Sat- Would like to make available to all rather than individually.

 

We are counting the days until 11/8 when we cruise.
