Please don't let this experience turn you off of cruising DCL. We had a terrible room steward on one of our 7 night cruises. We had things like no shampoo, no washcloths, no towel animals, and he would take our comforter every night. Our room was opposite of yours, it was freezing. Our room was...

I agree, Mr. Williams was wonderful. He even showed up early for our autograph signing and started signing right away. It was very cool because everyone on the San Juan cruise got a lithograph that he designed and then we were able to have him sign it. He is a very nice man. Kim

Hi, 7620 is our favorite room. We always request this one. The obstruction, I feel, actually gives you more privacy. It basically makes your view smaller but not enough to bother us. It blocks you from your neighbors on the right side, so that you really can't see anyone there. Once when we had...

I specifically asked, at guest services, if my daughter could go to some of the adult classes and they told me sure, it wouldn't be a problem. She is 13 and actually does have an interest in learning some of the things that were offered only to the adults. It was because of her interest that we...

Our room steward on our 7 day last year did not seem to do towel animals as a rule. The only nights we received them were the night we asked customer service if it was possible to get one and 1 other night when we left a note in our room asking if he could please give us a towel animal. Our room...

I was on the 8/21 cruise and thought the way the soda is done now is better than before. I did not see the long lines I had read about and I didn't think there was really a big problem with running out of ice. There are 2 ice machines as well as ice right on the soda machine itself. Sometimes...

I would actually like having a day at sea after Castaway Cay. My biggest reason for this is I have felt like I should be packing during some of my Castaway Cay time because the luggage has had to be out that evening. If there was a day at sea after it, I would not be worried about getting...

We had early dining on our first cruise and late dining on our 2nd cruise. We are going on a 3rd cruise and we booked early dining this time. My daughter is 12 and our family absolutely preferred early dining. We did not get out of our late dining until sometimes after 10 but my daughter would...

Just booked today, my husband and I on points and my daughter, will be 13 then, with cash. Member services said we would get $100 on board credit but we don't know why. Anyone else get this? I am all for it, as long as it is true. Kim

I disagree with this because we are expected to tip quite a bit for the service the room steward provides, therefore I atually expect some service. Towels, shampoos, etc. should be left as a normal part of service. I don't consider them an extra, yet our room steward did not always remember to...

Our room steward was not very good at all. We did not have our room turned down in the evening until around 10:00. This seemed late to us. We were the last room on his list and it didn't get done any faster if we left the please service sign out. He only gave us new shampoo etc. 3 of our days...

We stayed in 7620 in August and loved it. We actually liked it better than our category 6 last year. We thought the verandah gave us more privacy but really didn't obstruct much of our view. We will definately book this again. I do hope you get a different room steward though. Ours was not that...

Our room cooler on our cruise in August did keep sodas cold. I was pleasantly surprised. The one in our room last year did not work near as well but this year our sodas were quite cold and they were warm when we put them in there. Kim

Hi, I am not sure how big your party is but we stayed in a category 7 on our 7 night. They all hold 3 people which may not work for you. We had an obstructed verandah that use to be a 5 but is now a 7. We loved it and would book it again. Kim :cool:

We recently did the bridge tour on the Magic and were emphatically told no pictures or videotaping allowed. One of the people that toured the same time argued about it but they would not bend on this rule. Kim

I got a tropical shirt for me for $5.00 at St. Martaan. I don't know the name of the shop but it was close to where the water taxi dropped us off. I didn't even try to negotiate as I thought it was such a great deal. I did not wash it first but I did wear a shirt under it. For $5 I don't care if...

I don't mind off topic threads as a general rule . I don't, however, like when the topic goes off topic during a thread I have been following. I would prefer that anything off topic be under its own thread so I can choose to read it or not. For me it is just a time saver as I don't like going...

I hope you are able to get your dining rotation changed for your cruise. We were not so lucky. We had called and asked a few times with no luck. Our tablemates had wanted early as well and tried to switch on board but it was full. Our sailing was sold out. I know most people on this board prefer...

The problem with this for our August 23rd cruise was late dining was never done by 9:45, at least not for us or any of the people we saw around us. Hope it works out for you, Kim

We had late dining for our August 23rd cruise and no one from my party liked it. We did not get out of dinner until after 10 each night. We did not find our servers any less busy at the late dinner, in fact ours was busier and had more tables than our earlier dining last year. Also, the dinners...
