    Question about using child's FCC

    My husband and I brought (and paid for) my college-aged son and his girlfriend on a cruise in January after rescheduling a cancelled cruise from May 2021. They were in their own room and both had FCC that reverted to OBC when we boarded the cruise. Because our reservations were linked and I was...

    Another onboard credit question

    I was advised you cannot combine both rooms’ FCC; it remains assigned to the individual(s) in the room(s) who have the credit.

    Looking for this Disney Cruise Line luggage bag

    It was in the shops on the Fantasy last month. Not the exact suitcase but quite similar.

    How have the passenger numbers been lately?

    We were on the 10/2 Fantasy and our servers told us there were 1004 people onboard. We had Satellite Falls to ourselves on multiple occasions. Serenity Bay was peaceful with minimal people. The trip was a dream. Reminder: with the reduced capacity, servers and stateroom hosts also have reduced...

    Costumes on Halloween cruise?

    My sisters and I traveled sans kiddos on the Fantasy (4-day) at the beginning of the month. We dressed as villains on the night designated as Halloween and had a blast! We wore our costumes to dinner and saw other adults dressed as well. My sister was Ursula and was the hit of the night. Make...

    Just booked for 10/2!!! Tell me all the things!!!

    Sorry to hijack the thread but can you go into more detail on Palo Brunch? Are they serving the table plates of items that were previously on the buffet and, like before, presenting a menu from which to choose a main entree? Thanks in advance!

    My apologies…double post.

    Castaway Cay Cabana-solo?

    My family and I have rented a cabana on the family beach on multiple occasions and, for us, the tranquility and escape from the crowds is absolutely worth the rental fee. My husband and I would certainly rent, just the two of us, if we had the opportunity. Honestly, I don’t believe I would...

    Where is my FAVORITE DCL cast member?

    Two questions: 1) Has anyone recently had the pleasure of being assigned to Josette as head or assistant server on the Fantasy? She was on the Wonder on her last contract but she said she was requesting a transfer to the Fantasy after her break. 2) Is Gilbert still in the Meridian Lounge on the...

    I think I may have forgotten how to relax

    We always book a flight the day before embarkation. This eases my stress regarding travel hiccups and puts me in vacay-mode a day early. I agree that unpacking and completing the muster drill is essential to transitioning into a vacation mindset but the early arrival is key for us.

    Spa Recommendation

    Although I've never had the Bamboo massage, I've had both the Swedish and Hot Stone. My vote is Hot Stone. I've had three of them on DCL and it's like heaven.

    Linked rooms/booking Palo for 12

    Curious about this as well. We'll be sailing with a group of 12 (6 adults) and I'm wondering if we each have to book tastings separately on board or can one of us book for all? Thanks!

    Discount for Placeholder

    Two questions: 1) A few years ago, we booked onboard and later upgraded our reservation to Concierge. That change meant that we were no longer eligible for the 10% OBB discount. Is this still the case? 2) I can't remember...can the $250 deposit be charged to our room or do I need to bring a...

    Western Caribbean excursion recs

    Can I ask why you didn't enjoy it? I'm curious because we are considering the Dune Buggy and Beach Snorkel and I'd love any input you can give. (Sorry to hijack the thread.) Thanks!

    Alaskan Cruise....Oceanview or verandah?

    We cruised Alaska with DCL last August. We used the verandah often but also utilized the observation deck to watch and photograph the whales and seals. Having the verandah was lovely on chilly days-being able to sit on the verandah wrapped in a blanket while watching the scenery was perfect...

    Falmouth horse and buggy tour

    The OP asked for opinions on the excursion not your perceived safety (or lack thereof) at the port. She mentioned that she had honeymooned in Jamaica and was looking forward to showing her children the island; it is, therefore, clear that she does not share your opinion regarding the "rundown...

    Falmouth Jamaica

    As the previous poster cautioned, MoBay is just shy of 1.5 hrs from the port. Travel in Jamaica can be nerve wracking...especially when you're on a time crunch. Traffic in the small towns is unpredictable and it's not unheard of to be stuck behind a slow-moving truck for miles. That being said...

    Falmouth horse and buggy tour

    Jamaica - the island, the beaches, the mountains, the people, the history, the philosophy - is truly stunning. When I read reviews like this I am utterly flabbergasted. My husband and I are returning to our beloved island this summer. In past visits, we've stayed at different resorts and always...
