Thank you for your review!  Love that you can go to the very front of the ship. For the hotel pre-cruise, were you able to pick a time for the complimentary shuttle to the port?  Was it a van or bus?  We are a party of 5, with possibly 7 others staying at the hotel too. 

Don’t miss the aqua 80’s show!  It is amazing!

We cruised a few weeks ago.  My daughter is 4, they were open from 9-12, 2-5 and 7-10 maybe?  No reservations needed unless you want to pay for after hours care (maybe 10pm to midnight)?  You can give permission to other adults to drop off/pick up when you register onboard. 

I called this week too about a price drop after final payment and they said nothing could be done, I was very disappointed as I had gotten price drops before. But after final payment they told me nothing can be done, not even onboard credit 

Yay! So excited for another one of your reviews! I really enjoy your reviews & you always have great pictures!

Love your review as always! I am very sad to hear we won't be getting a vista review, but I totally understand your reasonings! Enjoy your trip & hopefully you can come back with some overall thoughts. And I love blogs, once you get it goi, please come back and share the link!

Love your reviews! Read it from start to finish! I also have a mermaid and now she wants to bring her stuff for our next cruise :-) Thanks so much for taking the time to do this. You take beautiful pictures!

It would be cutting it way too close, I don't think I could do it. The lines at MCO are extremely long and the airport is an hour away from port. Even if you were off of the ship by 8, you still have to go through customs, find transportation, etc.

That's a bummer about missing sail away, I would be mad too! Assadee was our server in April, she was awesome, so good with our kids!

My daughter was 2 weeks shy from turning 2 and they would not let her enroll. This year my nephew is coming, he's 5 and my daughter is 6 and we're hoping they can stay together, but don't want them to get their hopes up. If they move the 5 year old up, my 3 year old will be left alone and she won't like that. But, my 6 year old probably doesn't want to stay in the 2-5 group, such tough calls!

Thanks! Love movies under the stars!

Thanks so much for the update, we are heading there soon and I appreciate the info!

Very handy, thanks!

Loving your review! Especially because we are doing the same ship and itinerary soon!

Exciting! Have a great time! We are doing that same itenary & ship in a few months. Can't wait to hear about your trip!

Looking forward to your review! Especially because we will be sailing on her in a few months!

I've be researching these boards like crazy and agree with so many posts about hotels being expensive! I am looking to book 3 rooms in April and cannot find many "good" hotels for under $200. We are flying in and not landing until 9:00 pm, so by the time we get our luggage, get to the hotel, etc. it will be late and we'll be leaving in the am for the cruise. Hate paying close to $200 for a hotel room for about 12 hours. Was wondering if anyone has any suggestions, Thanks!

Loving the review! What a special trip for you & your girls! Looking forward to reading the review, especially because I'm going to those same ports in a few months. Thanks for taking the time!

That's awesome! Hope they are still there on my upcoming cruise. That was one of my favorite memories many years ago, love it!

Great review! Looking forward to reading the rest as we are cruising on her in a few months!

Yay! I love your reviews, I think I've read every one :). love your writing style & it feels like I know you & we are great friends!

Thank you so much! I appreciate the quick replies. I'm planning for a group of 9 and was second guessing the idea, but it sounds like it shouldn't be a big deal at all, thanks again!

Has anyone ever driven from the Fort Myers airport to the Fort Lauderdale (port Everglades) port? It's not ideal, but I'm finding better direct flights to fort Myers. We'd be getting in late the night before the cruise, but figured we could get a hotel near the airport & drive the 2 hours to the port in the morning.

I am so very sad for your loss. We cruised together on the Dream repositioning cruise. I haven't been on the boards in awhile (I was researching like crazy on a different site because we planned a last minute trip to Disney). I came back to the boards & was looking for recent reviews (I just LOVE reading cruise reviews) & was shocked & so sad to see this :(. I am very happy to hear that you still went on the trip, that is what your dad would have wanted & it sounds like you have a great support group! Looking forward to reading your review but will definitely miss your dads smiling face in the pictures! Hugs & prayers during this difficult time.

What a great review, loved the beautiful pictures! Enjoyed reading every bit of this & am sad that it's over, lol
