    Placeholder and Costco

    After seeing something about OBBs and costco cash in another group yesterday, I wanted to be be certain for my own booking purposes so I actually called Costco travel this morning and ended up speaking with a regular agent as well as a supervisor because I really wanted to be sure and I was told...

    Placeholder and Costco

    Just curious, what is the benefit to transferring a placeholder to Costco these days if you can't get the costco cash card? Ever since DCL changed the commission travel agents get for on board bookings late last year, Costco now states on their website that they only give Costco cash cards to...

    ** OPENING DAY PRICING 2017 Pt 3 September-December: Magic, Wonder, Dream, Fantasy **

    I feel like I'm missing something - why is 4e more expensive than 4a?! 4e has the solid white wall verandah and is cheaper than 4a on all the other cruises we looked at....

    Distorted photos on USB from Shutters :(

    Ugh, that's what I was thinking of doing if they don't get me my pictures. That is a lot of $ for nothing! I was looking through my old emails from when they gave us the cd with all locked/watermarked images and incorrect software last year and they resolved the issue in 2 days (easier to...

    Distorted photos on USB from Shutters :(

    I agree about the boarders! Also, it's annoying when you are purchasing digital images and they basically limit you to two print sizes. I'm surprised the max resolution is only for up to 8x10 images. I wanted to get a larger family picture printed on canvas last year and that's when I realized...

    Distorted photos on USB from Shutters :(

    @maribeau - Did they eventually get you a second usb with files that weren't distorted or refund you your money? I certainly wouldn't have paid $300 for just a few pictures that I wouldn't have chosen myself anyway if I was buying individual ones. All the ones I loved when I saw them at the...

    Distorted photos on USB from Shutters :(

    I'm so annoyed with Shutters right now. For the 2nd year in a row, they ended up charging us twice for the all digital images package (no, we didn't accidentally order two). I know I'm not the only one who was charged twice either (had preordered it and then was charged again the last day). I...

    How to Pay for Port Upgrade

    Out of 6 cruises in the last 4 years - all different itineraries, out of Los Angeles, Vancouver and Port Canaveral, port upgrades were only available once. I was surprised because on a few of them, it showed plenty of rooms still available a couple of weeks prior to sailing. They do keep some...

    Picture package: I'm so confused!

    We prepaid and then when we got home, we saw a charge from shutters for the full amount so we were charged twice for the cd. I emailed with our prepaid receipt attached and they said they would refund us that week. It took about 6 weeks to go back to the card!

    Is there a Disney Jr character breakfast on the Fantasy 7-night Merrytime cruises?

    Does anyone know? I think the Fantasy has had just one Merrytime cruise so far (that's returned) and I asked on their meet thread but didn't get a reply. I heard awhile back that they may not have them on the Merrytime cruises that have gingerbread house decorating because both events are held...

    November 14, 2015 Fantasy Western

    Hi, we are going on a Fantasy Merrytime cruise in December and I was hoping when you guys get back, someone can update us if there was the character breakfast on your cruise. We heard it may not happen because of the gingerbread house decorating being in Animator's. Thanks for the info!

    Merrytime Cruise Character Questions

    We have done 2 merrytime cruises, latest one was last year and there was no extra characters besides Santa and Mrs. Claus. There wasn't an extra meet and greet with Belle outside of the regular princess meet and greet (she did visit the clubs but in her blue/white outfit) on ours. Santa didn't...

    Man jumped overboard off Oasis this week.

    @bonnysammy I know some people here have mentioned requesting to get the furniture (at least the little table) on the balcony removed because they were worried about kids climbing. Just an option for your peace of mind! I've done 5 disney cruises in balcony rooms with toddlers and we have never...

    Crafts for young kids?

    Some crafts that were great for toddlers and the younger kids (our dds have been 4 & under on our trips so far)- decorating doorknob hangers with stickers and markers, decorating coasters w/ colorful tiles to glue onto them, making wind chimes, decorating paper hats, decorating the gingerbread...

    Crafts for young kids?

    Just curious, which ship did your kids get the pillow cases on? We've seen the pillowcases/pj party on every cruise we've done on the Wonder but on the Fantasy, the cast member had no idea what I was talking about when I asked about pillowcases at the PJ party w/ Pluto (we had friends cruising...

    Palo Brunch Questions

    We aren't doing the first sea day just because our kids are younger and we want them to get comfortable with the club and nursery at first without being paged to pick them up. People seem to be dressed a little more casually at brunch vs dinner (at least in our experience - like I see more women...

    West coast sailings

    We did LA-Vancouver in May a couple of years ago and it was the worst weather of all of our cruises (including CA coast with similar stops but in September and Alaska in May). It was nice at first but at least half of it was terribly windy with some rain. Like the wind made it hard for my then 2...

    Extended cruises..... Unique onboard activities?

    We did a 9-night one before and there was nothing special/different besides an additional port.
