How to Pack for Vacation : How to Pack Liquids for Travel

First and Foremost-Always deal with a professional Cruise Specialist who has access to the latest and greatest Disney Cruise Deals. While this may be logical to most, people like to ask their friends and family, who have been on a cruise. Sometimes that kind of advice can end up costing you more. What is a deal to some, may become an unhappy experience to others.

Shop around. It helps if you have an idea of pricing before you speak or think about booking online. After you find your best pricing, then contact a professional and ask questions to see if they can beat or at least match the price you have found.

Location-Location-Location!!! While this is true enough for real estate, we are talking about Cruises. And yes, your cabin can be considered real estate for the time you rent it out. If your cabin is right next to a noisy public place, it does not make for your best option. Not only does the location of your cabin count in cruise deals, but the size of your home away from home also counts. Inside cabins will always be less expensive. Most experienced cruisers already know this. But here is how that plays out. A cabin with a porthole (Ocean view) will come at a bit higher cost than the Inside, and a Verandah (balcony) cabin will be more. Also, there are several cabins on board that have an obstructive view and these would be offered at a considerable savings. A suite is a much larger cabin that offers amenities that may be important to you but not to your kids. It's all about personal taste.

Magical Rates during off peak times. Yes, you can get a deal on Disney cruises but you must be flexible and not travel when the most popular times to travel are to get the best deals. Of course we are talking about Disney Cruise Line and with that most of you will be taking along the kids. And most kids are in school and tend to get holidays off. Well then my advice to you is, expect to pay top dollar and book as early as possible. But for those of you with little ones not yet in school and can travel during off peak times such as January, early February, May, late August-October, and even parts of November and December, excluding holiday weeks and can book your cruise at least 3-6 months in advance can get yourself a good deal on a Disney cruise.

Shipboard credits-this can give you money to spend anywhere on the ship and is definitely a good value perk. At times there may be a special on certain sailings that offers a $50 per cabin ship board credit. These are subject to availability and must be booked within a given time frame. So take advantage of shipboard credits when they are available.

Florida resident and military discounts can be a great savings for you. Be sure to ask your Cruise Agent about this as these discounts are subject to availability.

For those of you who are considering a Land and Sea Package- This means that you will spend part of your time on the Disney Cruise and the other part at Disney World. Sometimes it ends up costing less to book these as two separate vacations. Have your Cruise Specialist figure out the cost both ways to see which would work out to be the better deal. Most times it is actually less expensive to book these separately.

For a family of 5, there is a special cost saving tip for you. You have an option of booking into a more expensive Category 4 which is a Deluxe Family Stateroom or you could get two connecting Category 9 (Ocean view) or Category 10 (Inside). You'd be saving money by booking 2 connecting cabins in the lower category, while enjoying two full bathrooms and more privacy.

A magician was working on a cruise ship in the Caribbean.?

The audience would be different each week, so the magician allowed himself to do the same tricks over and over again.

There was only one problem: The captain's parrot saw the shows each week and began to understand how the magician did every trick. Once he understood he started shouting in the middle of the show:

"Look, it's not the same hat."

"Look, he is hiding the flowers under the table."

"Hey, why are all the cards the Ace of Spades?"

The magician was furious but couldn't do anything; it was, after all, the captain's parrot.

One day the ship had an accident and sank. The magician found himself adrift on a piece of wood in the middle of the ocean with the parrot, of course.

They stared at each other with hate, but did not utter a word. This went on for a day then another and another.

After a week the parrot said:

"OK, I give up. Where the f*ck is the boat?"

Heyyy!!!! really cool!!!!!!!

it's one of the jokes I understand in English....

Gracias!!!!!!!!!!!

Nation-of-Why-Not-Royal-Caribbean-Cruise-Video-Tour-2010.flv

When choosing a cruising sailboat for a trip to the Caribbean, make sure you remember it's a home first sailboat second.

We enjoyed living on a sailboat for 8 years cruising up and down the Windward's and Leeward's...Virgin Islands to Trinidad and Venezuela. We had a ball cruising on our 35 foot Island Packet sailboat Shadowtime. We chose very well, never wanted any other kind of boat. You can choose well too.

The things we liked were the teak interior; dining room table that stowed; a roomy head shower area; a roomy cockpit that could seat eight for cocktails; and high freeboard that kept us dry and secure.. It was a home we loved that also happened to be a very good sailboat. We had some 140 mile days on our rare passages.

But 99% of the time you are at anchor or docked. 1% you are underway. So remember you are mostly not moving when choosing a cruising sailboat. And since you are a cruiser and you want to go from Trinidad to Grenada 70 miles, you wait for calm seas and favorable winds...cruisers are not in a hurry.

We were stuck in Martinique for 24 days once waiting for the seas to lie down. What a great place to be stuck.

Point being when you wait for good weather it's a pleasant crossing. We looked for 4 to 6 foot seas max less if it was on the nose. 10 to 15 knots of wind hopefully somewhere on the beam. In all our many passages we had the motor on half the time. No stress no mess. Motorsailing may not sound cool, but comfort is number one with cruisers.

Cruisers are a frugal, make that cheap, lot . Keep that in mind  when choosing a cruising sailboat since most of your meals will be prepared in board. If the chef is happy you can be happy. If the chef is not happy...the captain won't be either. We had a 3 burner gimbaled stove, propane fueled. The small oven had a big turkey in it every Thanksgiving. We ate great.

We had 12 volt refrigeration with a huge cooler area. A very small freezer which worked out fine. Look for a large, well insulated cooler...if the beer is not ice cold you will not be pleased. For you Europeans that think us Yanks are nuts for drinking ice cold beer...feel free to disregard this advice.

Other items to watch for are fresh water capacity. We had 90 gallons which lasted 2 weeks, a shower apiece every day, cooking and dishwashing and drinking water. Makes you cringe when you realize the average family uses 400 gallons a day in the US...what a waste. Be careful if your fresh water capacity is much less than 90 gallons. We had a 1.5 gph watermaker installed midway through our cruising life. It was expensive and noisy, better to have big tanks.

An absolute do not is never buy a boat with engine driven refrigeration. You will drive yourself and your neighbors crazy with the noise running the engine an hour plus every day. Beneteaus are fine for charter purposes...you won't see any where the cruisers hang.

Another must for Caribbean cruising is the V berth being the main sleeping quarters. It gets hot in the tropics and if you are not comfortable sleeping forget it. If the main sleeping area is aft make sure you can direct airflow, wind scoops help, to the bunk. With the sleeping quarters forward you can be assured of proper ventilation for sleeping. Don't over look this important aspect of being comfortable.

So when choosing a cruising sailboat remember it is a home first. If you are cramped and not happy at anchor you won't be happy period. Enjoy.

Which Caribbean Island has the best beaches?

I've been to a bunch of Islands so far and I don't want to go to one I've already been to. The islands I've been to are:
St. Thomas
St. John
St. Martin
Anguilla
Aruba
Puerto Rico
Bahamas
St. Kitts
Nevis
Is there an Island besides those that's known for having the best beaches?

I have been to most of those places as well, so you really narrowed down my choices for an answer!

I may be a little biased since I really love this island, but I am going to say Jamaica. There is a beach there for almost any occasion and lifestyle (or clothing style - clothed or, well, um.. not clothed!).

My favorite is, by far, 7 mile beach over in Negril, and the area has plenty to see and do. Parts of 7-mile are clothing optional as well if you are in to that. But if you are looking for family beaches, then you can check out Cornwall Beach over near Montego Bay.

Turtle Beach and Mallards Beach, near Ochie, are more secluded but still within walking distance to hotels (a quarter of a mile or so to the nearest hotel). Both also boast great Jamaican food nearby as well.

While over there, check out Dunn's River Beach as well. The world famous Dunn's River Falls overlook this beach, making it the perfect point to take in nature and enjoy the scenery.

Does anybody know a good way of finding crewing/employment positions in the Caribbean?

I am trying to find a fun job in the Caribbean as a crewmember on a sailboat or some type of recreation staff at a resort. I have lots of experience around that type of thing.
I have applied to several resorts individually but not many responses yet. Does anybody have any advice, or has anybody ever done something like this before?

in the movies all you have to do is show up on the dock and look for some lone-surly looking dude that owns a ship.
he'll be all "you ain't got what it takes to sail the 'skull gulch'" and you say something clever like "oh yea, try me Ahab!" ..and you're a shoe in.

Are you an alumni of Ross University Medical School in the Caribbean? Was it hard to get a residency in US?

Have heard the good and bad to going to this school because students have a rough time finding good Internships in the US. Yes this school is cheaper than med school in the US but is it really worth it? What other experiences or pointers would you have for me?

Actually, Ross is considered one of the better Caribbean medical schools and graduates have obtained residencies in every specialty in every residency program in the US.

You can talk with current Ross students at ValueMD.com
