    5 in a cat 5 room?

    Hi mamagoogle! To your question if an infant is really considered a 5th cruiser the answer is yes. DCL definately includes infants in the room totals so if your brothers family all wanted to be booked into one room then they would need to get a category 4. However you are correct in...

    How much time did you spend on your verandah?

    We also used our verandah alot. Actually I should rephrase that...my mother in law and I used the verandah alot. My DH didn't use it much at all. I'm more of a homebody so in the evenings I would put the children to bed and then go sit on the verandah with a drink and a good book. My DH is...

    Cruising week before dry dock

    We are booked on the September 20th Magic sailing. Turns out that is the final Magic sailing before the ship goes into dry dock. I'm wondering if this will affect our cruise experience at all. For instance, if this is the final week for the ESPN bar will it still be open and will it have...

    Pregnant cruisers?

    We also cruised pregnant. I was in my 20th week. Like Euphscott it was a wonderful break from everything and a great chance to rest and relax. I slept like a log and nothing felt as good as snorkeling in Castaway Cay. I agree with the other posters - book your cruise and if you end up...

    Palo on the first night

    We did Palo on the first night of our three night cruise. In all honesty the rest of the meals did pale in comparison to the meal we had there. They were good it was just that Palos is SOOO good. The one thing that bothered me was that the next night at dinner each one of our servers plus...

    Shampoo?

    I'm pretty sure they do. I've only sailed on Disney once and it was in a cat 1 room. We had the little packages that you rip open also. I'm not positive since I don't know what the other cabins were getting but my guess is that it was exactly the same as what everyone had.

    Predict your dining rotation?

    Wow...so far it looks pretty accurate! We didn't fit it thought...on the Wonder we had PTA with 2 preschoolers. No request just what we got.

    Showers on beaches as Castaway Cay and Nassau??

    Wow! There must be alot of showers at Castaway Cay...we sat in the area just behind the snorkel and float rental shack and there are also showers on the side of that building. It is right next to the family beach.

    How hard is the Oceaneers Club on ages?

    I'm pretty sure they will let the 10 yo stay in the 8-9 group. When we cruised in October my son was in the 3-4 group and my daughter would have been in the 5-6 group. They let her stay in the 3-4 group with her brother. I don't think they would have let him go to the older group but it was no...

    a head's up about shutters!

    For what it's worth - when we sailed in October we had a LONG conversation with the CM in shutters. Based on what we were told in that conversation my understanding is exactly what you understood - that if you purchased a photo package and a photo came out later in the cruise that you wanted to...

    Children's Dinning

    Yes your DD can order from the adult menu and you can order from the childrens menu (gotta love those Mickey Bars!). You can order from either menu and get as much as you want (more than one appetizer or a couple of entrees, etc.)

    Booking with Sam's Club?

    We didn't end up booking with Sam's but we did get a quote from them. Out of the 4 quotes we were seriously considering Sam's was second to lowest. The lowest by a long shot (about $150 lower) was cruise.com but the agent we spoke to gave us some information about cancellations that we knew...

    Castaway Cay Snorkel and Float rental

    In October we just walked up and rented them. It wasn't a problem at all and we were a little late getting off the ship.

    Price differnce cat4 and cat3?

    When we were pricing out the difference between a cat 4 and a cat 3 we were seeing prices of about $1,200 per adult more for the cat 3. The kids price is the same no matter what category you are in, but it looks to me like the category 3 would be about $2,400 more. allseastravel is correct...

    pregnant cruise?

    We went in October when I was about 22 weeks pregnant. I had no problem with motion sickness and I felt absolutely great the whole time. The best part was snorkeling at Castaway Cay. Right around 4 or 5 months is when it starts getting uncomfortable to sleep on my tummy so to be able to lay...

    is Hyatt MCo really noisy at night

    We stayed at the Hyatt and had a room facing the runway. Never heard a thing. Really enjoyed the convenience of it and the kids loved watching the aiplanes take off from the window.

    Where do I start getting info and planning??

    I'd just throw my two cents in with regards to the length of the cruise. We did the 3 day this past October. It was our first cruise ever and if I could do one thing over again it would be to do a longer cruise. 3 days just isn't enough. It did feel like we were just beginning to figure out...

    Irons, hairdryer or crib available?

    Hi M1l2k3! We're from Buffalo also! We took our first Disney cruise in October with a 5 yo dd and our 3 yo ds. We're planning on going in September with the addition of a new baby (due late February). Where in Buffalo do you live? It sounds like you're also travelling with a little...

    Walt Disney Suite

    Hopefully someone else can answer this better than I can. Our only cruise was in the Walt suite so I can't compare the hall bathroom in the Walt suite to any other bathroom on the ship. Compared to the other two bathrooms in the suite the hall bathroom is tiny. Having said that I will say...
