Disneys AquaLab, a must for children

The AquaLab on the new Disney Fantasy ship has been custom made by Donald Duck especially for his nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie with a variety of different water experiments for them to play with and enjoy.
The problem is just as you board the ship you will find that they have had to rush out on an adventure leaving a hand written note for your kids telling them they're in charge of the lab till they get back.
Your children will be in charge of the Aqua Coaster and by turning wheels and pulling levers they can change the speed and temperature of the AquaDuck.
The problem is, the AquaLab, having been built by Donald Duck, wasn't made very well. There is a leaky wall where kids will have to try and keep the water circulating by covering the holes in it with their hands and in other areas they'll have to be quick to stop the leaky pipes from filling Uncle Donald's row boat.

Problems with taking children on Royal Caribbean cruises

There's nothing quite as special as taking your kids on their first cruise, (apart from leaving them at home and cruising in the peace and quiet on your own - I'm joking), but if you're not careful you can have a lot of problems with some cruise lines; in some circumstances I've heard of people being refused boarding!

Minimum child ages allowed for travel

A past passenger of mine called me yesterday looking to book a new cruise for this summer. She hadn't been on a cruise for awhile as she'd just had a new baby so after I'd congratulated her and swapped some sleepless nights horror stories we got to talking about who she could cruise with. Her baby girl would only be five months old at time of travel and she hadn't realised this would be too young for many cruise lines.
It's with this in mind that I've wrote todays post, giving you all the minimum child ages need to travel with the different cruise lines. I hope you find it useful. - As a quick guide, if you are traveling with a child under six months MSC seem to be your best bet, especially as they normally give free child places aswell!

Allure of the Seas ………The Countdown Begins

The Allure, as I’m sure you all know by now is set to launch in December this year and I know a lot of people are getting very excited, but do we want a clone of the Oasis of the Seas?
Well thankfully it’s not going to be an issue.

RCCL have been keeping the exact details of the ship under close wraps but as we get closer to launch more and more details about the ship have been released. I’ve combed a few different websites to put the following information together for you.

How to Disembark Quickly

One of my friends just got back from a Disney cruise I had booked for him and his family; and they had a great time by the way.
My friend, whilst a really nice guy, is a bit of a stickler for rules and protocols and emailed me the following list after he got home because he thought it might help all my customers, so I’ve decided to blog it here, you’ll have to let me know if it is a help or not.

Another Milestone for the Disney Dream

The Disney Dream is still at least eight months away from its maiden voyage but a major construction milestone was reached earlier this week.

A ship's hull is composed of giant blocks, which are preconstructed and then fitted together into place in the dry-dock like a giant jigsaw puzzle. Disney Dream is composed of 80 blocks, and the final one, this time the bow, was lifted into place in Meyer Werft's huge covered dry-dock at their Papenburg (Germany) facility

Happy Cruising

Second star on the right, then straight on till morning

Disney aren’t getting much blog space at the moment from me or many of my colleagues, but I think for 2011 and definitely 2012 they will be one of the top requested family cruises.

They currently have two ships, the Disney Magic and the Disney Wonder with the Disney Dream scheduled to launch in 2011 and the Disney Fantasy in 2012. They also own Castaway Cay, a private island in the Bahamas.

The NCL kids clubs

  After posting about the giant Wii screens available on NCL ships recently a lot of people asked what else was available for the kids to do as a lot of parents didn’t want their children spending all holiday playing computer, no matter how big the screen.

Wii want to cruise with NCL

So, you’ve just got past Christmas, you're planning the family holiday for the summer. All you want to do is relax for two weeks in the sun. A cruise round the med seems perfect. Buuuuuuuuut Mom, buuuuuuuut Dad cruises sound boring!
