    What airline does Disney Cruise Line use?

    We flew Northwest out of Detroit direct to Orlando. We are from london Ont. You never see your bags till they are at your state room. Northwest even bumped people off our flight to get us on last minute. Disney air is highly recommended.

    The view is excellent and there are no life boats etc; to block it. No noise problems inside the room itself. Deck #9 overhangs to provide a nice canopy over your verandah, to shelter from the wind and rain.

    Sea Lice?

    I have been on two DCL cruises , both in december, not a bug in sight. I have also snorkled and scuba dived on all the islands. Never heard of sea lice. I would imagine Sea Lice are better than a case of frost bite.

    For Our First Cruise Would You Pick Eastern Or Western?

    We would recommend the western first because you stop in a port the first day ( key west) and do not hit the open sea till later in the cruise. This will give you a chance to get your sea legs. The eastern caribean is two days at sea right off the bat , you could get a bit queesy if the waves...
