Hi! I do all the cruise lines - and I'd love to help you with your anniversary cruise! :) Send me an email ([email protected]) and let me know what you're looking for. I'll send you some ideas and quotes!

That's a great tip! :D You just watch -- he's gonna get off this 3-day cruise, complaining that it wasn't long enough! He'll want to book another one right away! :)

Not kidding. When I went on my ship tour of the Oasis last month, we went through the security area, and along with the piles of irons and booze, there were piles of power strips! I'm not sure what people with CPAP machines do. Maybe you can get special permission, with a doctor's note or something? I'll have to check on that.

I LOVE my over-the-door organizer. Everything stays so....well......organized! lol Carol -- RCCL is confiscating power strips now. They are no longer allowed because of fire hazard. I'm expecting other cruiselines to follow.

You'll love cruising!! You'll probably catch up and pass me up!!

Rebelstand had the great idea of starting a thread about planning and packing for a cruise! So let's post tips and things we've learned from going on cruises. One of my favorite things to pack is my over-the-door shoe bag. The pockets are clear so you can see what's in them. I got mine at Target for $4.50 and I've used it over and over -- on cruises and in hotel rooms. I use the pockets for everything that would normally take up counter space -- makeup, hairspray, shampoo, comb/brush, toothbrush/paste, books, sunblock, glasses, etc, etc. Here's a picture of one like mine

I've been on 26 cruises! So, I'll start a new thread for packing/planning for a cruise. Great idea! :)

Would you want a 7-night Caribbean, or a shorter Bahamas cruise? Email me at rhonda@travelonadream, with your number of people and ages, and I'll get a quote to you! :)

DCL just released 2013 sailings this morning! I know some of you were thinking about May 2013, as a possible FF cruise. If anyone is interested, please let me know and I'll be happy to provide quotes or answer any questions! :)

This is the best week of the year to book a cruise!! All of the cruiselines are offering special deals, discounts, onboard credits, and other perks! Go here to read all about it: http://travelonadrea...week-kicks-off/. And, keep in mind, the onboard credits offered by the cruiseline, are in addition to the onboard credits you will always get for booking through me! Email me ([email protected]) if you'd like a quote or more information. Or if you prefer, you can call me at 888-681-1240, ext. 3. :)

That's what I was thinking too! A lot of people don't want to be forced to make reservations in advance. It's nice to wing-it once in awhile too. This post has been promoted to an article

I posted this in two places, for new visitors (in case they don't go into the Dining Reviews section): This has not been confirmed by Disney yet, but seems to be true... Effective October 26, 2011, additional Walt Disney World restaurants will be requiring a credit card to hold reservations. The reservations will need to be cancelled no later than 24 hours prior or a charge of $10 per person will be applied to the credit card on hold. This change is being implemented to cut down on the number of reservation no-shows that occur at the most popular Disney dining locations. This will reduce the c

This will reduce the cancellation penalty window to 24 hours instead of the 48 hours for some locations, but again, this

I agree about the sugar-free desserts. In fact, I've felt that way with all the cruise lines/ships I've been on! I don't know why it is -- but the SF desserts are always so good!! Maybe it's because they try harder, when making them.

Hi everyone! This is just a reminder that we have group space booked for the Disney Fantasy, on October 20, 2012. This is an Eastern Caribbean cruise with stops at St. Maarten, St. Thomas and Disney’s private island, Castaway Cay. We will be planning special events for all cruisers booked through Travel On A Dream! You will also get onboard credits to use toward your shipboard account! Please let me know if you'd like a quote, or more information! :)

To pay the least amount at the time, you can book your next cruise (with a dummy date, if you don't know the exact sail date yet), and just book it for one person for now. That way, you only pay the deposit for one person. Then, later on, when you choose the specific date, you can add the other people to the reservation and pay their deposit at that time.

Royal Caribbean is having their annual WOW sale, next Tuesday and Wednesday (10/4 & 5)!! If you're thinking of taking a RCCL cruise in 2012 or 2013, now is the time to book! The deposits are half-price, and they are offering great shipboard credits (in addition to the shipboard credit you will already get from ToaD for booking through me!) Let me know ASAP if you would like a quote, and I'll add you to my list for Tuesday morning. It's going to be a crazy day, and the popular cruises and categories are going to sell fast! Email me at rhonda@travelonadream to get on my list. :)

If anyone is wanting a quote for the Disney Fantasy (or other Disney ships) for 2013, please let me know. I've started a list of people that are waiting for DCL to release 2013 sailings and pricing. I'm expecting them to be available in a couple of weeks or so! :parrot: FYI - The other cruise lines have already released their 2013 pricing, so feel free to ask for anything on them too. :)

Even though Free Dining is still not offered at the campground, you may be interested in the new dates that it will be available for the other resorts: Valid for arrivals most nights: •Oct. 1-6, 2011 •Oct. 22 - Nov. 3, 2011 •Nov. 12-17, 2011 •Nov. 26 - Dec. 1, 2011 •Dec. 10-15, 2011 •Jan. 8-12, 2012 •Jan. 21- Feb. 2, 2012 •Feb. 11-16, 2012 •March 3-8, 2012 •March 24-29, 2012 If you'd like a quote - please email me at [email protected]. :)

I'm able to book Christmas/New Years Eve for 2012 now!! If you'd like me to put a hold on a site for you, please email me your information (unless I already have it). Names, ages of kids, address, phone number, what type of site you want, loop request. My email is [email protected] :banana:

I'm sorry. Usually I'm able to work some magic and find something. But, we are so close to Christmas/NYE now, that the only way a site will become available is if there is a cancellation. (There are tent sites available though!) I am able to start booking Christmas/NYE for next year now though! If you want to get something held, so this doesn't happen to you next year, email me your information and I'll put it on hold for you! I've already made a few reservations in the past couple of days, so I know they will go quickly again.

Hi Donnie! I do all types of travel -- cruises, hotels, packages, all-inclusive resorts -- just about anything! I appreciate the referrals--thank you!! :banana:

Many people ask that question! Why would they use a TA, when they can book everything themselves online these days? Well, my co-worker, Tracy, (also the owner of Travel On A Dream) blogged about that today. Everything she says echoes exactly how I feel about my job! Here's a link: I'm Letting My Travel Agent Take Care of That So, if you'd like my help with any trip planning, or if you just have a question or would like a quote, feel free to email me anytime!
