    DCL Mandatory Gratuities??

    Great explanation! We're always pleased with the service - suggested rate has always been a minimum. First class service. Keep it up.

    Puerto Vallarta Paradise Beach Adventure Question

    We travelled by taxi to an outlying beach (so can't comment directly on the resorts). Taxi drivers were courteous. Flat rate fee agreed to before departure. As for trinkets on the beach - didn't buy any. A mere shake of our head, and they kept going. Never felt threatened, or unsafe...

    Puerto Vallarta Paradise Beach Adventure Question

    We just returned from the Christmas cruise, and heard from other guests that lounge chairs were not available at the resorts. Not sure which resort, but suggest that you either 'arrive early' to obtain a chair or clarify this with the excursion desk before embarking. (also, it may not be as...

    What is the right age for a Disney Cruise?

    Agreed. If they're too young, the nursery staff is wonderful (you will have peace and quiet)

    Draft Beer on the Dream yet?

    Ugghhh. Departing soon. I can just picture Scotty and Captain Kirk... 'I'm doing the best I can, but the kegs just won't fit!" You know, I feel fortunate to have the time and resources to take this trip. It's a minor inconvenience, but all will be fine in the end.

    Smoke odor ?

    Ditto. Some idiot smoking a cigar next door. Did not push the issue. He has the right, so we simply went inside and closed the door until he finished. (ps - we were in one of those verandah's with steel all around .. very closed in. Actually prefer it to a regular verandah for privacy, but...

    Why is the Disney website so slow?

    It's hit and miss. Brutal at 8:00 this morning (EST) but better at 3:30 today. The cruise is awesome - like I said - Hakuna matada. :cool1:

    Why is the Disney website so slow?

    Thanks. Many websites have graphics. No big deal. I was actually trying to see 'basic' things like whether onboard credit was posted; tried to book Castaway Cay tour for teenagers and snorkelling equipment for ourselves. With respect to onboard credit - will find out while on...

    Why is the Disney website so slow?

    We tried to retrieve our cruise reservation, using Cruise # and DOB, and all we see is Mickey swimming across our screen. Three times in three days. Going to roll the dice and simply show up this time. Not book shore excursions, etc. With respect to Disney (which is a customer first company)...

    Has anyone done the Atlantis Waterpark on their own and booked room at Comfort Suites

    Atlantis doe not take 'cash' for beer, water , etc. poolside. We had to check everything to our Comfort suite card. I suppose if you brought all that you need with you, no problem... however, those of you doing the check in / check out may have a problem. (I'd take all I could with me).

    Has anyone done the Atlantis Waterpark on their own and booked room at Comfort Suites

    We stayed at Comfort Suites for one week, and 'heard' about this from guests who did what you are suggesting. Worked fine for them. Some of you may be interested in 'why' Comfort Suites has an 'in' with Atlantis. A manager told me that when Merv Griffin wanted to develop his casino (late...
