    Fantasy 10 day Southern Caribbean June 28, 2017

    Thecastro, were you aware that there is a Facebook group set up for the meet and greet for this cruise sailing? If you're interested, search Facebook for "Disney Fantasy - June 28 2017 Southern". It is a closed group but you should be able to request to join. LOTS of fellow travelers already...

    Compensation after returning from cruise?

    squirk, Great point! I can see how this can get out of control. I find it sad and unfortunate because I do believe that a good will gesture, in the right situations, on the part of an organization the likes of Disney can be a real win-win situation - the consumer and the company can both win...

    Compensation after returning from cruise?

    Thank you very much for sharing this perspective, Club Disney Chandler! I totally get your point and understand. With all the social media outlets available, for business owners like yourself to large corporations like Disney, your damned if you do, and damned if you don't. You potentially...

    Compensation after returning from cruise?

    I like the way you phrased it - a good-will gesture of some sort. That's what I was trying to convey. I recall many years ago planning a group cruise to Alaska on RCCL. Long story short, there were some discrepancies between what some of our guest were paying when they should have all been...

    Compensation after returning from cruise?

    Nope. Perhaps it's different now. Back then, Disney gave us a credit for the amount of the cruise that November to use for a future sailing. Trust me. I was so angry at the time because they wouldn't doing anything more for us when we had to reschedule to a date that was costing us a lot...

    Compensation after returning from cruise?

    Fair question, squirk. My point is, IMHO, anyone is entitled to ASK for compensation from the cruise line when something like this goes horribly wrong, outside of your control that so drastically impacts your vacation. Key to my comment is, you are not entitled to ASK. I'm not suggesting you...

    Compensation after returning from cruise?

    Sorry to read about your daughter, and your family's vacation. Certainly not what you signed up for. Please follow up on this thread if you should reach out to DCL. I'd be very interested to learn what response you get if you do. IMHO, you are certainly entitled to ask for compensation in...

    Ever been shut out parking at Port Canaveral for a DCL cruise?

    Thanks, everyone!! We parked at the port once before for a Disney cruise, but I believe back then, we paid and reserved in advance. Now I'm finding that several hotels around the port have an agreement with the port to offer 40% off parking there, but you can not reserve in advance. I doesn't...

    Ever been shut out parking at Port Canaveral for a DCL cruise?

    My family and I will be sailing with DCL in 2017 out of Port Canaveral. We plan on parking at the port. I am wondering, has anyone ever experienced driving to the port on the day your cruise departs, expecting to park by your DCL ship, and find that there was no parking left? Is it possible to...

    Fantasy 10 day Southern Caribbean June 28, 2017

    Greetings all! Just plunked down our deposit for this trip, and will be joining you all in 8 (hopefully) short months! Can't wait. Reading through the comments here so far, I understand there's no discussion here about fish extenders, rather this is on a FB group, correct? My wife is...

    Check in times

    Thanks, wdwjeffc37! Our plans include flying in and using DME, so I'm guessing my "perfect scenario" should more or less play out. One question about DME. Do you have to pick up your luggage in at the Orlando airport before picking up the DME, or is this optional? For some reason, I...

    Check in times

    So I understand if you check-in prior to 3:00 and your room is not ready, they will secure your luggage at the resort and you can go to the park. They will text you with the room number once known. What happens with you luggage? Will the resort place it in your room for you while you are...

    Fantasy June 29, 2013 Meet Up!

    Our wait staff were all VERY nice, but nothing spectacular when it came to service. They missed plates, were slow, sometimes didn't bring our coffee until after we finished desert, things like that. Don't get me wrong, they were ok, and very nice, but that's it. We never saw our room...

    I hope everyone had a great trip! We sure did. I wanted to put out a special thanks to all of you who participated in the FE exchange. The treasures you all left for us were all greatly appreciated and enjoyed. Thanks so much. This was our fifth DCL cruise, but the first time...
