    Tell me the wonderful things about cruising alone. Tell me the horrible things about cruising alone.

    I would echo a lot of the things that have been said in terms of the pros and cons. I have dined alone, and dined with others. On one of the cruises, I was at a mixed table (solos, couples, etc) and met a mother daughter combo. We have done 5 cruises together since. I am from Canada and them...

    What's your best tip?

    All great suggestions so far! My advice would be to take time to notice the small things, the little Disney touches are everywhere! The Art of the Theme Show is very interesting. But above all, just have fun and enjoy the fact you’re on a Disney Cruise!

    DCL Transfer from AKL

    Last year when I took Disney transportation from resort to port, we had to have luggage ready by room entrance at 8:00am, and they pick it up right from room. We didn’t get picked up until around lunch time to head to port.

    Breakfast In the Dining Rooms

    Another relaxing/no crowd option to consider is ordering room service. It is only things like cereal, toast, muffins, but it is pretty awesome not having to leave your room and enjoy a leisurely breakfast (in your pjs!!) to get your day going. Depending on which stateroom type you’re in, you can...

    DCL 2018 Merchandise

    I am curious as well on the merchandise for the new year! I’ve seen some of the Parks stuff, but haven’t seen anything for DCL yet.

    SEA sickness pills at airport

    Gravol can be purchased at any drug store in Canada, or Shoppers Drug Mart, and most likely the stores in whatever Canadian airport you’re flying into.

    Panama Canal Ocean Motion

    Thanks everyone for your responses! I’ve been on a number of cruises, including one where we had to sail around a hurricane, but I like to be prepared...and know how much Gravol (anti-nausea medicine) to pack! Can’t wait until October!

    Panama Canal Ocean Motion

    I am on the October 19, 2018 Panama Canal sailing from San Diego to Galveston. For those who have sailed that itinerary/know people who have, what is the motion of the ocean/ship like? Thanks!

    Solo DCL Cruise? Should I?

    I have done numerous solo Disney cruises, and have met the best people, some people that we now meet up to cruise together. The freedom of just being by yourself is great, for all the reasons listed already. Star Wars Day at Sea is pretty cool btw...and I’m not even a Star Wars fan.

    Concierge requests for Alaska

    We requested window seats in the restaurants that we could. We also asked for certain drinks in the fridges. Not sure which suite you’ll be in, but I requested that the twin beds be pushed together in the second bedroom.

    San Francisco Excursion

    I'm looking for some help from people who've either been to San Francisco, or those who live there! I'm trying to figure out which excursion(s) to do while i'm in San Francisco in a few weeks. Currently i'm booked on the Hop-on-Hop-off San Francisco City Tour AND Views of San Francisco - Adult...

    Spa Raffle

    Thanks everyone for providing that information! I have a few services already booked (manicure, pedicure, Elemis Oxydermy Facial) but am interested in the previous spa specials that the navigators have listed (specifically the hot stone massage).

    Spa Raffle

    I was wondering what the Spa Raffle is that is indicated on the Personal Navigator on Embarkation day? I'm wondering if there are opportunities to get discounted spa services, besides the daily spa specials. Thanks!

    Hi Everyone, I'm doing the 7 night Western Caribbean on January 25th on the Magic. I'm wondering if anyone knows if they do galley tours. Thanks!!

    Dinner or Brunch at Palo

    We had Toni as our server when we cruised in May. He was fantastic. We had him when we did brunch (which i personally preferred over dinner) and we enjoyed him so much we requested to have him when we went for dinner on our last night!

    Disney GC onboard

    Since you only use your Key to the World card on the ship to make purchases, you can use either your credit card or your Disney Gift Cards to pay down your onboard account. You can have Guest Services apply the gift cards at anytime during the cruise. We applied our at the beginning to get it...

    Using Disney gift cards

    I think you may be able to call ahead. You can for sure go to Guest Service once onboard and they will apply the GCs to your account. Anything that gets charged to your onboard account can be paid down by the GCs.

    iPod dock on the Wonder?

    The clocks that were in our suite were NOT compatible with the iPhone 5, they have the 30 pin connection, you will need an adaptor for our iPhone 5. I don't remember noticing the AUX In.

    Bonine in Canada???

    I would strongly suggest getting Gravol Non-drowsy. I think it has ginger in it. Widely available in Canada and very effective. You can also get regular Gravol which is great for the evenings as it makes you drowsy. We just did Alaska from Vancouver on the Wonder. Our stateroom was on deck 8 so...
