CRUISING FROM SC

We heard boarding was delayed due to crew members smuggling several Mexicans into the US on the ship. If that is the case I have no desire to ever board one of their ships. That is so dangerous and if they could smuggle them on what else is going on that is illegal? 

:) Thank you for a great review. Lots of good tips. I am so excited for our first time on Oasis in a few weeks.

Wondering what you found out? We are going in a few weeks and might be interested as well.

You have made my day. We are on Oasis in 3 weeks in the cabin above yours. We have booked Rose Hall as well. I love seeing and reading all about it. Thanks for the tips. :)

Thanks everyone. We are getting passports for all. Better safe than sorry. :)

I am very saddened by this and pray the child is okay. We were on Disney Dream when a child nearly drowned. It was horrible.

I do not have the answer for what needs to be done on cruise ships, but I do feel like for the safety of children something is going to have to be done. I'm not pointing fingers I am just saying bottom line no one wants this to happen so the cruise industry needs to address it. If a Lifeguard saves one child it would be worth it.

We are taking our 3 1/2 year old grandson and his parents on a Disney cruise in April. We have all agreed he will be in a life preserver of some sort at all times on the pool deck. We will also be using the tag method for who is in charge of him at all times. So if I have go to the bathroom I will physically hand him over to one of the other adults. I will still be worried, but hope these precautions will keep our little guy safe.

I will never get the picture of that poor lifeless little boy being carried off Disney Dream out of my head. I hope an answer is found soon.

We are taking our son, DIL and 3 year old grandson on a 4 day Disney cruise to the Bahamas. None of them have passports,but my husband and I do. I have read the pros and cons of having them. From what I have read it would only be an issue if they had to fly back to the U.S. We just can't decide if we should spend the money or not to get them.

I'd love to hear input from fellow cruisers. TIA for your opinion. :)

I am in absolute shock at the prices for summer2015! Even in cheapest cabin We cannot afford to take our son, DIL and grandson on a 7 day cruise. We've sailed twice on Disney and loved it. So sad...

Any idea when we will be able to book for June 2015? I'm ready to start planning!:)

Just returned from Labadee and Nellies Cabanas are assigned. I personally would like to see RCCL go to allowing cruisers to reserve specific cabanas. What works well for some isn't as well suited for others.:confused:

:eek:WOW! The prices of hotels in Vancouver in June! And don't even think about booking a pre-cruise hotel and excursion to Victoria through Princess. Thinking now we should have flown in the day of our cruise.:(
