What do you like about this subject?
Cruising is one of my favorite vacations. Combine it with trip to Disney World and you have what I believe to be the ultimate in vacations for families.
What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?
Our next trip is on the Disney Magic once again, but this time for a 7 day cruise, some time in 2001.
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:
The Disney cruise ships can fit through the panama canal with just inches of clearance on each side. This was done intentionally so the ships could travel to the west coast if necessary.

2009-04-23 irons:
None of the cruise lines allow ironing in the stateroom. It's considered a fire hazard. Pressing is available from the Laundry Service on the Magic. The latest prices I could find were 2 years old
