    Has anyone purchased the Bon Voyage Celebration Package?

    You end up just rolling the banner up and throwing it in the closet - It's nothing to write home about!

    Cruise Newbie Question about Concierge Level

    Aside from the regular "happy hour" times pre-dinner each night, there were also a few concierge gatherings on the sundeck which was nice - you get little invitations every couple days.

    Cruise Newbie Question about Concierge Level

    I believe it was the Fairytale (or something like that) on the Fantasy.

    Pixie Dust on Staterooms?

    It makes all the difference in the world!! So much so that when we booked our next cruise on the Fantasy, we booked Concierge! It's just a completely different experience from the room to the lounge to the personal experiences - it's fabulous!

    Why are you a single parent?

    My husband died almost 5 years ago when my kids were 7, 10 and 12. We had several fun Disney vacations prior to that and since then I've sort of gone Disney crazy but it's the one thing that my very different kids all enjoy and we can go and just relax and make new memories whether it's a few...

    Upcoming Disney Vacation(s) w/the kids?

    Right now we are booked on the Fantasy for April. We were just at WDW for a quick trip in June and I'm waiting to see if there are any upcoming fall room discounts for possibly a long weekend over Halloween!

    Alcohol Option in the room on a Cruise?

    I've been on 6 cruises and never knew there was a singles thing onboard! lol My kids are older so it's not really a problem leaving them to go grab a drink - they're all doing their own thing most of the time anyway!

    Pixie Dust on Staterooms?

    Yes we did - we were upgraded to Concierge on the Fantasy in April and it was absolutely WONDERFUL! Never assumed it would have happened, awfully glad it did, doubt it ever will again but we enjoyed every second of it!

    How BAD is the ferry...

    It's bad. Our ride to the mainland was fine, returning was AWFUL - like people throwing up for the entire ride. We did the secret river excursion which was amazing but I honestly don't think I could do the ferry every again.

    A place for single cruising parents to ask questions.

    I've been on 6 DCL trips with my 3 kiddos - booked the next one for April 2016 - happy to answer any questions!

    Gold castaway member

    The bags now don't have the rope handles - they are more of a canvas material and are sewn in, not knotted on like the others were.

    Room Service - Is it good?

    We order breakfast if we have an early port excursion. My son loves a pile of wings in the afternoon before the early show/late dinner and we have been known to order Mickey bars at midnight plenty of times! I agree that the menu isn't anything fabulous and I wouldn't substitute a MDR for it...

    Cash on hand

    I always keep an envelope of $1s in the room for whenever anyone orders room service. I also use cash to tip for excursions - even on CC - last year I left my money on the ship and ran back to my stateroom after parasailing to grab cash to tip our boat guys. Same with the other ports - for...

    Edge or Vibe for 14 Year Old?

    My 14 year old never liked the Edge - when he was 12 there was a big group of kids who had siblings in Vibe so after the first day they wore down the Vibe counselors who finally let them in. Every kid is different!

    Disney Wonder ?

    We sailed on the Dream and Fantasy before the smaller ships and I was worried we'd be underwhelmed with the Wonder. My kids will tell you they prefer the smaller ships. I still love the Fantasy but I didn't dislike the Magic or Wonder - they're all amazing. Sea days are the best - two wouldn't...

    Miami Hotels refered by DCL and/or Best Miami hotel for cruise

    Two years ago when we sailed out of Miami, I booked hotel and transportation through DCL. They didn't give me a choice - we stayed at the JW Marriott downtown Miami. I'm sorry I don't remember the cost though.

    Secret River vs Xcaret vs Xel-ha?

    I've only done the secret river but it was AWESOME!! My kids wanted to do it again last year when we were in Cozumel again. So fun. The ferry ride is a doozy though.

    Dining Seating ?

    I always call and request that my 3 kids and I are seated at our own table and it's always been honored. If you were to be seated with anyone else, you would be for the entire cruise.

    Disney Magic Servers...

    She was with us last April - we were on a back to back on the Magic. She really was just amazing - she went above and beyond for my kids. I would love to see her again!

    Disney Magic Servers...

    We loved Cindy from Trinidad on the Magic - she was the first server in 5 cruises who we truly enjoyed. Her partner was DUI from Indonesia - we really liked them both.
