    DCL Photo Books - Stock Prints

    Hello, DH & I have never purchased a photo book from the ships photo shop before, because it is just the two of us. I now find myself putting together a memory photo book as a Christmas gift to my 88yr old father of a cruise he took with us several years ago. Is there anywhere I can purchase...

    MCO to PC Bus Arrival Time

    The port doesn’t open to the public until 10:30am, so the DCL transfers are still arriving early. We are Platinum and have never arrived by DCL transfer after any boarding started. Unless you drive and park in the deck earlier than that, you’re barely going to beat anyone off a Disney Cruise...

    Did I leave enough time for a flight?

    We’ve booked 11:30am flights out and made them no problem but I wouldn’t do any earlier than that! We always catch the first Disney transfer bus direct to the airport.

    Rainforest Spa Day-Pass Price Increase

    I had to do the same. VERY disappointing that they’ve nearly doubled the price of them!

    Name one thing - that you enjoyed most from your last cruise..

    We’ve done 13 crises with Disney and last year’s was the Southern Caribbean out of Puerto Rico. We went to Bonaire for the first time (and it was WAY better than Aruba)! Our favorite thing was snorkeling on Bonaire. We are both experienced divers and the snorkeling there rivaled diving the a...

    Have you gotten the Shore Excursions you wanted, even if lower status with DCL?

    Hi cruisers! I just wanted to check out there and see how many have been able to secure the excursion of your choice on a cruise? We have two other couples joining us on the Fantasy this November, and we plan take two excursions together. We are Platinum, one cabin is Silver and one cabin are...

    Need to purchase cruise insurance - any good first hand experiences with claims?

    I have always purchased cruise insurance for our Disney cruises, mostly from other companies than Disney. Last year when we cruised in December, I had a long conversation with a Disney rep who convinced me to purchase Disney's coverage. I think remember the key point being the flexibility of...

    What's there to do in Grand Cayman?

    We’ve used Captain Marvin’s several times for different excursions. They take good care of you and we’ve enjoyed them all, including Sting Rays with them. They got us there before the rest of the cruise ships (including Disney’s group) so it wS cheaper and well worth it!

    We are looking to book this cruise this week, sort of last minute! Is there a Fish Extender Group going and/or a Facebook group? There doesn't seem to be many posts here?

    Remind me, 1st timers do NOT get lanyards?

    its been (thankfully) a long time since our first Disney cruise. I’m helping a friend take her family. I seem to recall that for the first cruise you get your door key card but that don’t give you a lanyard since your not silver yet. Is that still true? If it is, does anyone have a suggestion...

    Need help/advice on airport to port transportation please

    Thanks MJ. I am just like you and can't imagine a few days with a family in Cocoa with no rental car! I can't give up that control. But they are concerned about costs (one income family) and basically plan to go to the beach on the pre-cruise days. The Holiday Inn Express offers one way shuttle...

    Need help/advice on airport to port transportation please

    Hi! While my husband and I are now (finally) Platinum, we have always rented a car and driven ourselves or taken Disney transfers since it's just the two of us. I'm helping a friend with 2 adults, 3 children on their very first Disney cruise. So far, she's been very teachable (ha ha) and done...

    San Juan Port - What time does it open

    Very sad that I cannot recall this from our cruise 2 years ago, but what time does the port open in San Juan and when do they start boarding? I see online it's a 5pm departure for Southern Caribbean cruise. Thanks for any info.

    Pin trading on the Fantasy

    Just a caution here on Star Wars pin trading nights - we have been and I am adult and just wanted to trade with the Cruise Staff in the Lobby which was advertised - it was an entire madhouse. As soon as they came out, they each had 3 or 4 awesome, expensive Star Wars special limited edition...

    Poll do you buy trip insurance, if so have you had to use it?

    We are booked on our 11th DCL cruise in Feb 18. I buy insurance every time. I have lost count of the times they have had an ambulance pick someone up when we dock - I buy it strictly for the ability to cover $50,000 in medivac helicopter costs to get us back to the mainland should any medical...

    28 January 2018 -> Disney Wonder to the Southern Caribbean!

    Hi gang. My husband Tim and myself (Annette) are on this cruise. We did the Southern Caribbean out of Puerto Rico on the Magic in Feb of 2016 with the other ports. While we enjoyed several of those ports we really didn't like Martinique, so thrilled to be going to some new ports again on this...

    Southwest Opening January Schedule - June 22, questions

    Hi there. We took our first Southern Caribbean cruise with Disney in Feb of 2016. We were too late to get the Wanna Get Away fares to Puerto Rico so our airfare was expensive. This time around we booked the new itinerary on Jan 28, 2018 including Bonnaire, Aruba and St. Lucia. I'm told the...

    Plantar Fascitis Crocs wearers: Help!!!

    Hi. One thing I have not seen anyone else mention that is a lifesaver for me, is a Straussburg sock. I travel a great deal for my work and my Podiatrist ordered me one. It's a long sock you wear at night to bed in the affected foot. It feels very strange at first but if I wear it, I am pain...
