    Sailing out of San Juan - Experiences? Recommendations?

    We have done several DCL sailings to and from San Juan. We love PR. If you plan on staying just in San Juan, Uber works well from the airport and to the pier as well as in town. The city is very walkable, but like any city anywhere, be aware of your surroundings. We have stayed near the edge...

    Weird/important stuff to bring on a cruise

    There are phone apps for "white noise", eliminating your need for a separate item.

    Most missed Platinum perk?

    We have observed the same. Friends who have similar status on other lines receive discounts, free lounges, and other perks. And then get me started on DCL's 'lazy' system of simply counting sailings. We have been DCL Platinum for some time now. DCL does NOT value loyalty to any level whatsoever...

    Anyone remember these sold onboard?

    Hey, MJ - Yep, have one from MAGIC buried somewhere in all the Disney stuff. In a new house, so it will be forever to get everything sorted out. Hope all's well, say hi to hubby M

    Changes to Palo and Remy

    I don't think our experiences at PALO were unusual in that the servers would encourage you to try more and different offerings. I don't think it's really "abusing" a system that operates that way. Even at the breakfast buffet, where we would be EXPLICIT in wanting an omelet made with a...

    US Departures through June 2021/ Europe through September 2021 are Suspended

    Our August 28 Northern Europe as well as the WestBound Transatlantic are off our account as well. So far, no communication from them. For the time being, the December 6th 5-night MAGIC from Miami still shows. DCL is currently holding tons of cash from all of us that is waiting to be flipped...

    Things No longer seen on DCL or Castaway Cay

    Thanks, Truck - Yeah, we spent a lot of time reading / daydreaming time on the secret balcony. Except for one cruise, we have had stern staterooms. Even though we had balconies of our own, there was something special about that space. Was very disappointed when they co-opted it during the refit...

    How many people have sailed on all four ships?

    Exactly. All four, same year. Couldn't find the posts where that was first put out there, maybe a better searcher than I ( Princess Shmoo ? ) can find them. Nothing wrong with the more liberal definition, it's still a fun achievement. I'm sure there are those out there who have sailed on ALL...

    How many people have sailed on all four ships?

    Count us in. Including an original Grand Slam (same year) Now, if we could logistically do B2B2B2B . . . Wonder if anyone ever pulled THAT off ? (MAGIC - WONDER - FANTASY - DREAM , all b2b, in no particular order)

    What Was the Last Disney Ship you Sailed on Before the Pandemic?

    Great topic, MJ - Ours was a B2B on the WONDER, San Juan Southern Caribbean on Jan 26th this year,, followed by WONDER's February 2nd inaugural sailing into New Orleans. We stayed in N.O. a few days for some early Mardi Gras fun, and were fortunate to be back home before the virus began it's...

    Update April 6th: Most ABD tours cancelled through April 30th, 2021 & cruise packages and escapes through Aug 10th.

    So, what has gone on regarding deposits ? I could not get flights, Oktoberfest itself was cancelled, and I was forced to cancel next weeks departure before my PIF date. But my funds are being held captive, even though ABD has cancelled that trip, and has no product to offer me. Is that the only...

    Trips through end of September

    I guess they won the waiting game. I needed to PIF 3 weeks ago for the "no Oktoberfest Adults-only" Oktoberfest sailing. I couldn't tie up $18k in hopes of a refund, so now my deposit will be in limbo. Has anyone been successful in requesting the refund after they put the deposit in deferred...

    Has anyone who booked a Secret Porthole or Secret Verandah have it changed ?

    Exactly our experience. We chose a specific 5C on the Eastbound Transatlantic in 2010. We got a call asking if we'd like to be upgraded, which we were, to a 4B. At our first night dinner, we met and learned our tablemates had done a last-minute booking for a 10C, and arrived at check-in...

    Disney Magic In England, May 2020 to October 2021 Updates In First Post

    MAGIC is currently docked at Castaway Cay. Wish they had a webcam. And fwiw, it did stop there in the past on the EBTA, at keast we did in 2010. Then next landfall in Funchal, Madeira.

    What do you think about the magic?

    We have sailed on all four ships also, most recently MAGIC in November, and B2B on the WONDER in Jan/Feb. In the latest iterations, our preference is Rapunzel's over Tiana's, both the show and the food. Since our MAGIC / WONDER sailings were close, our comparisons were fresh. My wife, who...

    Cruise Line Crossover

    Why not ? We would try it. It would have to be with great pricing or perks. Although I know 2021 sailings ARE filling due to all the currently displaced reservations .
