So no need to worry about swimming at all, you probably won't even feel the splash!

Our 7 day cruise with ocean view is $2750, that averages out to $130 a day. I think there is a differant special running now.

I do think cruises are good value for couples, not as good for families though. And Disney is more expensive with less service and amenities. I was considering going on the 10 day med cruise this summer with the mouse. $6000 for the four of us for an inside cabin still seemed a fairly decent deal, but I am not sure. Unlikely to happen now though with muy unexpected Tax bill that would take me on 3 cruises :-(

In short I didn't feel nickeled and dimed like on other cruise lines.

Some people choose to give one gift for the whole cabin but I think most give things to each person. This sounds like fun and I know my 9 yr old grandson is excited about it. Here's a link <a href="http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1219607&page=79" target="_blank">http://www.disboards.com/showt...&page=79</a> I don't sew, may get one on EBAY or see if my SIL will make us one.
