    Skipping Stingray City b/c I am afraid?

    It has to be what you are comfortable with. I myself have always loved being in the water. Stingray experience at CC is not even close in my opinion.

    Skipping Stingray City b/c I am afraid?

    As a family that loves the water, we have done Stingray City 3 times. The first time I just jumped right in and I was proud that DW was right behind me until something brushed her leg and then she was on my back( a surprise to me). but after a short time, she was even feeding them(which was...

    Thinking of skipping roational dining

    We weren't really impressed by some of the food on our first cruise. I love seafood, but for some reason, the dinners just weren't great. It took a little bit of time, but by the end of the cruise, we got the idea that we could ask for no sauce, a plain salad or other changes to what's on the...

    Operator of Stingray City excursion in Grand Cayman?

    Hi everyone! I'm trying to find the name of the company that operates the Stingray City excursion for DCL in Grand Cayman. I think there may be more than one, but I'm not sure which company does which excursion. Any ideas? Thank you!

    4/27/13 Western Fantasy

    Hi everyone! We just booked this cruise, and we are so excited! We'll be celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary on this trip, and we could think of no better way to enjoy our big milestone. :cheer2: On this trip, our 4th Disney cruise, will be me, DH and our DD, 7. We just added...

    Comparing 3, 4 and 7 night cruises, as well as Back-to-Back cruises

    Unfortunately, we didn't use points. I couldn't answer that for you. But I know I've seen threads that have discussed that issue. Good luck finding your answer.

    Pros and Cons of Back to Back Cruises

    I agree with the other posters about pros and cons. (We especially loved how nice the crew was on the second cruise.) And if we had our choice, we'd do a 7 night or more. However, we added a four-night cruise to a $99 3-night cruise deal we had received. It was too good of a deal to pass up. And...

    Booking back to back cruises while onboard?

    Wow, I'm so excited for you. That sounds like a great trip. Hope you'll report back later and let us know all about it. 1 &2) You get your new KTTW card when you get off the ship for a brief time (I want to say most are off the ship for less than an hour.) They don't make you wait for the...

    Cheese platter

    I love the cheese platter - we probably get one every day. This is a pic of a larger cheese platter that they gave us for doing back-to-back cruises. But it's essentially double the size (or slightly more than double) of a typical cheese platter. Always feel free to order more than one. It...

    Free child care at Castaway Cay???

    A little of each. We spent time on our own (once to do a couple's massage and lunch) and time together as a family swimming and playing in the sand. Our daughter, 3 at that time, loved the club on the ship and CC. But when we didn't have anything scheduled on CC day, we all stuck together...

    Pics of DCL Food

    I love seafood, but I wasn't overly happy with the seafood dishes on the Magic or Wonder. So we lived on steak. Here are some pics: Some with sauces And without sauce And I can't remember what cut this was, but here ya go Probably more than you cared to see, but we...

    Trying to Understand DCL Dining

    I think everyone answered the majority of your specific questions. I just wanted to add a thought or two. When we went on our first 7-night cruise, we skipped the main dining room a couple of nights. We went to Topsiders (which most nights isn't a buffet - it's a place where they'll serve you...

    Pics of DCL Food

    Hi there. Yes. At least most of these pics are from the embarkation lunch from the second leg of our back to back cruises on the Wonder. We had to get off the ship briefly after everyone did, and then we got back on. They let us know when we could go in for lunch, but others hadn't gotten on...

    Pics of DCL Food

    We aren't booked for a future cruise now (have to wait a while, I'm afraid) but I love to look back at the good times. These are from our B2B on the Wonder in late September. This is the Parrot Cay brunch (I think on embarkation day, but possibly from later in the week):

    Protective parents cursing with kids...

    Great responses here. I agree with those who say do what works for you. If you'd prefer not to use the clubs at all, go for it. Our DD (3 on the first cruise and 4 on the second, which was back-to-backs) loved the club. She asks about it all the time now. We just let her know our plans and gave...

    Servers on the Wonder..any favorites?

    We LOVED Witt. (I assume the same person mentioned by several others.) He went above and beyond every day. He made sure we had anything we needed, he forgot nothing and was always checking to see we were happy. He used to say something to the effect: "Don't forget if you have any complaints...
