I surprised my family for our first cruise on Christmas morning. I used our color printer and copied the picture of the map for our cruise, the dcl logo and a picture of the ship all on one page - then I put the title of we're going on a cruise! I had these in three envelopes and hid them at...

We've enjoyed our cruises immensely and wanted to get an idea of what goes on behind the scenes. The book, Cruise Confidential, is an entertaining read about the life onboard as a crew member. The book is about working on a Carnival ship but I'm sure there are many similarities...

Good question, I should have clarified. The refund we got so far was 17% of the cruise cost before Government Taxes & Fees. There are about $250 of fees that I didn't include in the calculation. If I hadn't already removed that, 17% would probably be about right. Strange, I guess I'll...

I think his name was Heath Hyche or something like that, not certain on spelling. Alfred and Seymore were the comedians on the second half of the trip. Has anyone gotten their credit processed yet? We got one for about 17%, I've written to Disney to ask for the rest?!?!

Just called, listened to the message and spoke to an agent. They don't have the full story together yet but here's what they told us so far: - we will definately not be leaving tonight, onboard guests will stay onboard tonight if the Magic arrives back at PC tonight - our cruise is now a...

Hey, we are in the Original Carrollwood area. Looking forward to our 3rd cruise in the last year. First cruise ever was last February and we are hooked. Everyone says Disney is the best and we agree. We are on deck 7. Hope to see you on the cruise. Judy

Does anyone know if their will be anything Mardi Gras related on the cruise or at one of our ports? Thought it would be fun if we got to see a Mardi Gras celebration in the Caribbean. Any thoughts? Looking forward to our cruise. Our daughter has 5 bags packed with all her Disney...

online check-in complete, cruise docs printed and signed - one week to castoff!

Hi - we're in the Carrollwood area, it has been a little cool for Florida, not sure we'll get much sympathy from those with all the snow though! :)

wow Barbara - VA has gotten lots of snow this year, quite a winter. All the more you'll enjoy a cruise in the Carribean. It's been a little drizzly here in Tampa but Judy just went to Chicago today for work and landed in snow. Lacy is counting the days till we pack, and separately...

Barbara - we were beginning to think you were going to have a tent on the Deck 7 Aft Observation area - congrats on solving the room mystery. It sounds like DCL will be able to let some of it's call agents have a little vacation now that you have a room assignment. We finally made 10 posts so...

plenty to do - check out the posted navigators for an idea and port days there's something for everyone.

We were in our first cruise in a Cat 11. I think it was room 6069 on Magic and we were very happy with the room and location.

Hi everyone - We're looking forward to joining you all on our third Disney cruise. We took our first about this time last year, a Magic Western and then did a bounceback 3-night on Wonder in September. The Western was our first ever cruise and we've found that we really enjoy them. We're...

I think it was $35 for a case of 24 bottles of Evian delivered to your room. Bottles are typical size. I also hear you can carry on water bottles in a cooler or backpack.

All great advice so far - a few I'll add from our two cruises.... - get to know the staff, they bring a fascinating global aspect to the experience and they really appreciate you getting to know them as people. Also realize that they work 12 hours a day, seven days a week for six months...

You'll see it in the link but also note that riders (not drivers) have to be 8 years old and they strictly enforce this. My son and I rode last year and there was a very disappointed family behind us in the signup line because their child wasn't old enough. The tour operators would not budge...

I don't think they are HD, although we didn't spend much time watching them (too much else to do)

We went on our first cruise ever on the Magic last February, then went on Wonder in September and will be back on Magic again next month - all in one year and we weren't sure we'd even like cruising this time last year. Anyway, to your question, the newer ships look nice but I'm not convinced...

just to clarify..... Castaway Cay is the private island that DCL visits during most of it's cruises. The Castaway Club is the return cruiser program that offers gifts, ameneties and priviledges for repeat cruisers. This is the program that offers in-room gifts such as the bag and water...
