    DVC and DCL - quick question

    Are you talking about trying to get 10% off of the point cost? DVC does not offer that. Wondering though if you did a split reservation with part points and part cash if you would get the 10% off of the cash part of the reservation.

    Another cabana question

    Does DCL hold back a few cabanas? I noticed that there are 2 cabanas for our cruise that are not listed (#'s 13 and 16). Tonight is the night that first time cruisers can book cabanas, excursions, etc. Do they hold them back for them? We are silver CC and I've been checking daily to see if a...

    Gluten Free Experience on the Fantasy?

    Anyone gluten free that has cruised on the Fantasy? I found out last summer that I am gluten sensitive. I find that I need to be fairly strict with my diet. I am not so bad that I worry about gluten in things like sauces and such. I just would not do well after eating a roll or slice of...

    Can you help with Eastern Caribbean Excursions OUTSIDE of DCL

    We researched these types of tours on Trip Advisor. After reading lots of reviews and websites we opted for "Sail With Captain Max" (#8 on Trip Advisor's ranked list). There are lots of people who offer these types of snorkeling cruises and most of them will customize the day for you. Several...

    Flying in a day early...

    Another point of view... We are a family of 5 and rented a car, dropped it off near the port (I believe it was Hertz), then waited at least 45 minutes in the car rental parking lot with all of our luggage for the shuttle. Once the shuttle finally came we had to load all of the kids and luggage...

    Where is my FAVORITE DCL cast member?

    Anyone know if Ollie is still a server? He was our server on the Magic in 2008. Was hoping maybe he switched to the Fantasy as we would LOVE to have him again!!

    Shampoo and conditioner in cabins?

    Will they replace them when they are gone? We will be on a 7 night Fantasy cruise. When we sailed on a 7 night Magic cruise 8 years ago we would find new shampoo/soap etc given to us mostly on a daily basis. It seemed that they would watch to see how much we were using and be sure we did not...

    Questions-on our own St Maarten

    Have you done Bernard's? I have done lots of reading on their tours and while it sounds great because you get to see a lot it also sounds like you are in a van quite a bit. Does it feel like you are rushed at each stop? Are there too many stops? This trip is just DH and I for our 25th...

    Questions-on our own St Maarten

    Looking at just hanging out in St Maarten on our own doing some shopping and having some beach time. I've heard to take a water taxi over to Phillipsburg for both shopping and beach. Anyone else done this? Any advice or recommendations on where else to go?

    New Year's Eve - questions!

    We head to WDW on Friday as our son is marching with his HS marching band at the Citrus Parade on Saturday and then at MK on NYE at 10am. Our plan is to be at MK at opening on NYE to be sure we get in to see him march. I'd like to leave MK at some point during the day to go back to resort to...

    frogg toggs chilly pads

    We have not used these but we go to WDW almost every summer. To beat the heat we like to use the spray fans that Disney sells. You can refill it by asking for free ice or ice water in a cup at any place that sells fountain drinks. We also take frequent breaks in air conditioned shops or rides...

    Vero Beach 2012 thread closed... see 2013

    Ooooo, here's hoping! Even if one of our rooms has a partial ocean view and one a parking lot that is fine. Will have a blast no matter what our view!
