But seriously, now that Little X is 6 going on 7, I'm really interested in possibly doing a Disney cruise one of these days...anyone who'd been on there with kids have any advice? I noticed from the website that they have programs for 3-7 year olds, and then separate ones for 8-10 (I assume they're more fun and no babies around). So I'm shooting for a couple of years from now I think. Thoughts?

Originally Posted By tashajilek "Why, oh WHY couldn't they have included a bloody casino like every other ship out there!? (then it would be a no-brainer)" I like Casino's too, but i think it's a good thing not being trapped on a long cruise with a 24hr casino.
Originally Posted By CuriouserConstance Mr X, our daughters must be almost the exact same age.

Tasha, I have my eye on a cruise that does leave out of Vancouver next September, lol. Thanks for all of the info guys, it's awesome! Spirit, they have a 5 night cruise from Vancouver with stops at Victoria, Canada and Ensenada, Mexico for starting around $2000. It drops you off in Los Angeles, so we'd only have to fly home from there, so the airfare wouldn't be bad. I think that's a pretty good rate.

Originally Posted By tashajilek That doesnt make sense that the 2 kids wouldnt count as $539 too???? Under $2000 is still pretty good for a family of 4 to go on vacation.
Originally Posted By CuriouserConstance Yeah, it is a good deal, I think. It's just more than I could already book it at Disneycruise.com for, so when they say it's 72% off, it's not really. I challenged them on this, and they said the $539 is 72% off of the original published price. Whatever!

Originally Posted By CuriouserConstance Yay! I considered that cruise, but May is a bit too early for me I think.

Originally Posted By tashajilek Yes you can stay on if you want too, thats a good time for people who want to stay to spend more $$$$.

Originally Posted By CuriouserConstance No, I'm waiting to see how much I get on our tax return, lol. But, Yay! for you! Where are you going???
Originally Posted By Ursula <The Disney 3- and 4-night Bahamas cruises that leave from Port Canaveral make a port call at Nassau - you could spend your entire day in port at the Atlantis casino.> We did and we won a combined $500. I cannot suggest this loud enough. Even if we didn't win, Atlantis was amazing. We took the $60 tour that included The Dig, and a tour of the inside area of Atlantis. Then, we were allowed to explore on our own. The grounds there are amazing and I can't understand the people who preferred to stay on the ship. Castaway Cay was just as awesome. We loved that they had an adult section. Hey Drinky Man!
