Tornado Watch is up for here (Lancaster, PA) this evening. Quite unusual for the end of October.

There you go...nearly 3X the money to cruise DCL versus Carnival. That is the same price difference I encountered when booking my recent trip. Have a great time, and thanks for all the information you provide in this thread. You were one who helped convince me to try CCL...even though you...

By the way, I just want to add that we had an amazing excursion in Nassau that I found online and is not available through the cruise lines. It's Bahama Jet Boat, and it was the highlight of the week for my teenage daughters. If you or your teens love water thrills I highly recommend this tour...

It's one thing to put something down, but it's really sad to do so when you've never given it a chance. I feel ashamed for how I acted about Carnival. I mean, we were treated like family last week. I was hoping that I'd tolerate the week and ended up being thoroughly impressed. I hope your...

We didn't get to the Sea Day Brunch. I was talking to my wife last night and it sounds like I'll be booking my 2nd Carnival Cruise shortly, and I'm sure the 2 of us will enjoy that. My daughters did enjoy the made to order pizza. Of course along with that came a bit of wait for it to be ready...

Thank you for the kind words, I agree with you completely. There would have to be some awfully big imperfections to spend an extra $7000! :)

I'm glad you brought up Castaway and Half Moon, I wanted to include that in my review. (and I did read your review a few pages back :)) I thought they were equal in terms of beauty and the lunch buffet. I thought Castaway was easier to get around. Better signage, wider paths, etc. We decided to...

Hello all. I just got back from a 5 night cruise on the Carnival Elation and wanted to share a few thoughts. Before I do that, a little history - I had been on 2 previous cruises, both with Disney. In 2012 my family sailed on the Fantasy for a 7-night eastern Caribbean adventure just months...

Nassau and Half Moon Cay. Been to Nassau before, looking forward to HMC. :)

Thank you so much! It really was from reading this thread that convinced me to give Carnival a try. It will be myself (Mike) and my two teenage daughters going on this trip. We are both excited and a little nervous...hoping that we're not disappointed after our cruises on the Disney Fantasy and...

Carnival Elation, October 22nd 2018. First Carnival cruise after 2 with Disney.

I've been to WDW 15 times since 1991, and 2 cruises back in 2012 and 2013. I'm currently booked for my 3rd cruise this October. To answer the question asked, I wouldn't say that our 2 cruises were more magical; however, here are a few thoughts from a long-time WDW guest and a much shorter DCL...

So not many of you have been to Alaska. Head north out of Anchorage toward Denali National Park and you'll run into "Wal Mike's" They claim if they don't have it than you don't want it...I couldn't find anything that anyone would ever want...

We love the Beach Club, but I think the Yacht Club is a better choice for your honeymoon. Unless you want to be hounded by my 4 kids and dozens of others in the lobby each day...:goodvibes

I guess we have been very fortunate. After two stays at the Beach Club, both during value season when you'd expect there to be more in the way of sharing busses between resorts, it's never taken us more than 20 minutes to get to the Magic Kingdom, and we've gone straight to the park after...

I had the French Toast sticks in December and they were very good. I felt like there was enough to eat, especially at breakfast. Lunch, not so much, but we enjoyed Hanna's.

I took my family the exact same week as you're going in 2009. We felt very fortunate. Most days it was "only" in the mid 80's and it only rained briefly on 2 separate occasions. Very low crowds. I'd go back at that time in a heartbeat.

Your welcome, and have a great time at the Poly. Our stay there was back in 2000, and the Nanea Volcano pool was under construction. That alone tempered our enthusiasm over the resort. I think you'll really enjoy the size of the rooms there, especially if you're in one of the newer buildings...

And thank you! When we were searching for a resort for our stay last September, we were sold on the Beach Club in large part from comments such as yours over on the Yacht/Beach Club thread. Everything you've said is absolutely true, including your comments about MVMCP. We had gone back in '95...

They've added a few items over the past year at the Marketplace. Between that and the poolside grill, we felt like that wasn't so much of an issue as it was at one time. Still, if you're used to a food court, you might be disappointed.
