    Re-assigning rooms

    Our family will be crusing DCL again in 2013. We plan to be in two cabins -- myself and DW in one, DS1 (22) and DS2 (20) in the other. DW and I are "gold", so I think we want to be the primary for each cabin -- so reservations will have myself and DS1 in one cabin; DW and DS2 in the other...

    100 Days of Magic ... or Misery?

    so, a bit of wishful thinking ... what if DCL offers a 100-day around-the-world cruise at a price and a time that DW and I would be able to go. Sounds magical ... but then I started thinking ... how soon before a 250 square foot stateroom (with verandah) gets claustrophoic? how soon...

    Closed Loop Cruises

    Okay, I know the current DCL Caribbean cruises are "closed loops" -- starting and ending at Port Canaveral. But what happens if stormy weather diverts the ship to a different port to disembark (and presumably embark the next boatload) ? The rational part of me says that "closed loop"...

    Why the Differences

    With so much the same on the two ships, why do they have differences that don't have much substance? for example, Teen Club is called "Aloft" on Wonder and "The Stack" on Magic Deck 9 Buffet is "Beach Blanket Buffet" on Wonder and "Topsiders" on Magic Restaurant is "Triton's" on...

    A Different Autograph Idea

    Okay, we all know about getting items autographed by the Disney characters. On our last cruise, I decided to do something different; I brought a canvas tote and had all of the CMs that were special to us sign it -- our stateroom host, the server and assistant server at dinner, the server at...

    What Car Rental ?

    We're thinking about spending a few days at Universal and/or WDW before our next cruise and will probably have a rental car -- so figure it makes sense to take it to the port. Which agency is easiest for dropping off at the Port? Budget? Avis? Hertz? We'll be using Disney transfers back...

    What Haven't You Done?

    After 3 Magic cruises and 1 Wonder cruise, I thought I had pretty well done everything on-board. then I got thinking about what I haven't done ... I've never been in the fitness center or spa I've never had breakfast or lunch except at Topsiders (other than departure day) I've never...

    Is there a way

    to find out what your OBC is? I've lost track -- from Disney Visa, to onboard booking credit, to TA obc's. I'd like to know what I start with so I can figure out how much more I need to budget

    Deliberately miss the boat?

    My DS18 may have a conflict at the beginning of our next cruise -- is it possible to have him deliberately miss departure so he would be able to join us at the first non-US port? We'd be very up-front with DCL about this plan -- has anyone every done this?
