    Question about liquor tastings.

    I think it doesn’t hurt to ask. On the Fantasy a couple weeks ago we had 2 tastings that had an extra “non tasting” person come with their partner.

    Southwest Air Debacle

    I’m stressed. We fly Friday for Disney Fantasy Saturday. There’s 3 more direct flights on the schedule after hours…but if cancellations continue this weekend it makes me nervous.

    Advice for DCL- Free unlimited wifi=more revenue.

    One of the reasons I cruise is so I can escape and not work. That said, if critical, I just use my hotspot when in port someplace. Much faster and much cheaper than DCL internet.

    Castaway Cay bicycle rental...how is it and what cool places on the island can you ride to?

    I love it! Fairly limited where you can go, but its an absolutely lovely ride, and its fun to ride out to the observation tower and climb up. Sure beats doing the trail by foot for the castaway cay 5k!

    Disney cruise line motorcoach transfer info (MCO, MCO Hyatt & WDW Resorts)

    From the MCO Hyatt we were told by DCL earlier this month that yes we can have Bell Services pick up from our room. However unlike the old days when we wouldn’t see the luggage again until our stateroom we were told we’d have to meet Bell Services down by the bus and claim our luggage to be put...

    Talk to me about concierge?

    Pool no. There’s a hot tub in the concierge sun deck. But right outside those doors is Satellite Falls so if we want to “cool down” in a pool we head out there.

    Talk to me about concierge?

    We went from first time in concierge back to a deck 2 oceanview for a 15 night cruise. We were happy to be cruising. But we missed concierge…. I think we’ve mostly sailed concierge since then. But if cost made it not an option we’d happily do otherwise. I love the lounge, I’m an early riser and...

    Palo…… is it worth it anymore?

    Same! I’ve always added on gratuity for the servers at Palo. The palo fee was a service fee, and its the palo fee covered by your platinum perk. Those servers go above and beyond and work hard for those gratuities.

    Trip Insurance

    I buy an annual plan for 2 people and pay about $240 a year. Decided this was a better deal in long run than buying insurance for every cruise when we were sometimes doing more than one a year. Also keeping it in effect ensures our pre-existing medical conditions are covered. otherwise insurance...

    Shang-Chi

    I was on Panama Canal cruise when Age of Ultron came out and was devastated to not see it on movie list the day we boarded. Rest assured, it absolutely had its PremEAR and ran many other times. We’ve been onboard for a few other PremEARs as well and it seems they don’t advertise them but they...

    Concierge on Dream

    I asked about the PAT in another thread and two people said Concierge does not have to pick a Port Arrival Time.

    Questions for those just off the Dream

    since you mentioned concierge - how did port arrival work for you? I’ve seen that concierge and platinum have to pick port arrival times like everyone else. And I’ve heard others say concierge does not. We are sailing in February but one of our parties is not in concierge so trying to...

    Is concierge worth the extra $?

    Its a new thing on boarding day. It disperses the crowd between the lounge and the dining room used. You get to eat and the hosts (or a designated other person) comes and does the concierge orientation and gets your wishlist while you eat. With a adult beverage. I don't recall the menu being...

    Is concierge worth the extra $?

    Its a matter of perspective and what you value so this answer is different for everyone. Some of the reasons we like it: Fancy coffee machine in the lounge - no money spent at Cove Cafe Bar in the lounge in the evenings - no money spent on drinks for dinner and hanging at night Ample bottled...

    Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

    Agreed! Now my problem is my extended AP that shows expiring end of Oct BEFORE the extra month we're supposed to be getting - and my November trip! So I got everything I needed for Sept, and got mom booked for November, but I seem to be in lala land on November now. Sigh.

    Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

    I was able to cancel but it took ages. Had to cancel reservation for a half day so I could book a full day since I'm caught up in this AP can only book 3 days even though I have a resort reservation!
