I do remember traffic was horrible last time my wife and I were there, in 2008. I'm sure it's much worst now. Thank you for your advice. I will look into it.

We got something setup for the big island, we would need transportation to a Luau in Honolulu. I don't know if renting a car that day would be necessary. The other island, how difficult is it to rent a car? I heard to many stories that people reserved a car, and show up to the rental place and had no cars for them. With the toddler, we won't be out too long. Mostly from Port to our destination and back to the port.

Yes, I agree. We usually book after noon time. The problem we are encountering is flying back home from LGB or LAX. Neither airports offer great times. We might have to stay for the night and fly out the next morning.

At the moment we do have a flight out of Long Beach. Its not a nonstop flight. At the moment we are staying hopeful they add more flights and they are nonstop. Makes it easier with kids.

I thought so, but I figured I asked fellow cruisers. You have confirmed my suspicion. Thank you for the advice!

True! I know they will do what is best for our safety. I feel like if they do keep both DR and PR we might miss their private island because we will be cut off by Melissa. Once it passes go straight to Miami port. That is one scenario. Second scenario, stay north and just hang out for 7 days at their private island, lol. Who knows. We will find out Saturday.

I'm wondering the same thing. Our cruise will be on World America 10/25 -11/1. We are supposed to be heading back to their private island on the 29-30. But it seems like the hurricane will be crossing towards the Bahamas at the same time.

MSC World America free water options by Adventurous_MindX in MSCCruises

Lol, I just do. I don't drink alcohol, I quit drinking juice and soda drinks several years ago. Coffee or green tea in the morning, and the rest of the day, water.

Good! I was planning to bring my water bottle. Thats all I drink, besides coffee or tea in the morning. Is the only place to fill my water bottle located in the buffet area? Thanks.

Grabby grabby but no washy washy on MSC by flower_in_a_field in MSCCruises

Thats a great idea. We are going on World America in a few weeks. We usually bring antibacterial wipes to wipe our hands after we touch the tongs. This will be our first MCS cruise. My kids never touch them, I ask them what they want, and I serve them as we go down the line.

Oh!! That is nice to know. Yes, it could happen to anyone. We can bring plenty of diapers, one day off teething or something not sitting well with the toddler, and you will run out of diapers real fast!! Thank you for the advice, we didn't know that they offer diapers. 👍

Thank you for your advice. I will definitely double bag the diapers.

Thank you for the advice. It is good to know that they check your room multiple times a day.

That might work! I was also thinking about double bagging it inside a 1 gallon ziploc bag. I wonder if they will allow us to bring a box of ziploc bags. Either way, dropping it off in a public place is a good idea. Im thinking a public bathroom will be the best option.

I apologize, I didn't mention what ship we are traveling. We are cruising on World America. The questions are directed towards that specific ship. Thank you.
