    Eating Clean on DCL

    We too completely changed our diet to vegetarian, GMO free, organic, locally sourced etc. It was incredibly difficult, frustrating and even enraging for 6 months as we learned what is truly in our food. Ie Dextrose in some salt! The dextrose is genetically modified! We almost drove ourselves...

    DCL Dream question

    Just to add on; we had first seating with our 9.5 year old twins. After several days of sit down dinners at WDW prior to the cruise, they were simply tired of sitting through meals; yes even the amazing rests. on board! We kindly asked our server to bring the children's meals sooner and once...

    Castaway Cay: How's the water temp?

    We were there Dec. 12 and had absolutely no problems fully enjoying the water. That said, we are from New England, so I think the geographical area you are normally acclimated to makes all the difference! Bring a light sweat shirt to cover up with when you get out and once you are dry you will...

    Photopass: a heads up re editing

    We recently pre-purchased photopass plus and overall we have been quite happy with the purchase. A couple of things I wish I had known and thought I would pass along to others: 1. You can ask to have multiple pictures taken in the restaurants, ie one of the entire family, and one of the...

    Laundry service on the Dream?

    Anyone with a recent price list for having laundry done on the Dream? We will be coming from a stay at WDW just prior to sailing and then another resort stay after the cruise. I thought I read that it is more affordable on the ship vs the resort. Thanks! Also, do you know what the turn around...

    A Grand Vacation: The 2012 Grand Floridian FAQ!

    Here now. Checked in this morning and room in Sugar Loaf was ready at 11AM We loved the personal attention at check in and it certainly was a breeze. Construction is truly not an issue for us, for which I am grateful. The fences are tastefully done and while we do miss the courtyard pool, there...

    A Grand Vacation: The 2012 Grand Floridian FAQ!

    Thank you. I was bummed hearing this, so I actually called to confirm. (a surprise I ordered for the trip was misplaced and in order to have it on time, the seller is reshipping to the GF) Anyway, I was told by concierge that if the package is shipped USPS it goes to the back office and not the...

    A Grand Vacation: The 2012 Grand Floridian FAQ!

    I started to go through the entire thread, but admittedly, thought it would be quicker to just ask all you GF experts: What is the actual mailing address for guests of the GF to receive a package. Thanks!

    Are you like us seriously re-considering due to recent events?

    Thank you OP for posting, and thank you to everyone who chimed in on the discussion. I have found the weather/meteorological information and other passengers reasoning of their decision to still cruise helpful in processing my own concerns. I wanted to respond to one post, as I feel I have...

    Are you like us seriously re-considering due to recent events?

    No, I do believe that DCL is the best of the best! If it turns out I cannot get the reassurance I am needing, then cruising obviously is not for me! LOL

    Are you like us seriously re-considering due to recent events?

    I hear ya, and you are not alone. We are scheduled to embark 12/9 in a few weeks. I am very apprehensive, and the thought of cancelling has crossed my mind some. Ok... a LOT! LOL I even wrote DCL about my concerns. My needs are simple; or so I thought. I explained to them that due to Hurricane...

    Access to antibiotics on the ship?

    So sorry to hear your DS is sick, and I hope for a quick recovery. I know this might be the last thing you want to hear, but thought I had read that they will not let anyone board who is actively ill. :confused3 I am sure others with experience with that will chime in! It has been one of my...

    Just spent e terrifying night on The Fantasy

    Many responses have left me feeling angry at the majorities lack of compassion, callousness, and downright lack of human decency. You clearly have never been terrified for your life before. Significant harm can result from just the perception of imminent death. Physiologically, the human body...

    Will Fantasy make it back?

    Regarding updates: did you sign up for text or email updates? Just wondering if they are working. About the ship/rough seas: I might be quite peeved to have been that scared, and thrown out of bed etc. (do they have straps? - thinking children on upper berths) Where does DCL place the...

    This would upset me greatly; I thought their responsibility was to stay in calmer waters?!
