Do NOT book @ the Country Inns and Suites unless you WANT to tack on an extra 2 hours to your return trip. The shuttle service was a MAJOR problem upon the return. We walked out of the terminal a bit before 9am and saw a Country Inns & Suites Shuttle and thought "well, we timed this one...

Do NOT book @ the Country Inns and Suites unless you WANT to tack on an extra 2 hours to your return trip. Mild issues but not a game breaker - Their "family" room did have 2 TV's but there was no (real) sound barrier between the areas (area above the partition was open) Deal Breaker - The...

Based on other threads, it appears that there are SIGNIFICANT discounts for upgrades performed at the port vs. purchased prior to port to the tune of several THOUSANDS of $'s in savings so port appears to be "the place to upgrade". Of course, there IS always risk that a room may not be...

We leave today in about 4 hours! :cool1::thumbsup2

Also a sailor here and this was also one of my very favorite excursions of all time (and mine was back in 1996). Even though you don't HAVE to do any of the crew duties, ocean waves and tacking can be jarring even on a huge 12-meter ship so I would recommend against it but why not ask your...

On our last trip there my wife LITERALLY walked across the road to the area where Blue Lagoon sells from and negotiated a reduced price for the excursion. We didn't tell them which ship. Just got on their ferry and enjoyed the trip. If you HAVE to book in advance, this obviously may not be an...

Ours wasn't assigned until 9 days out but it seems that most are assigned 10 days out so you may just want to ignore it (the best you can) until you are inside that 10-day window or else you will drive yourself crazy. Just look at my other VGT thread with the same question.:rotfl:

We've been to Nassau 4 other times including a 4-day stay @ Atlantis in 2009. Over the years, we've done the blue lagoon thing and the swimming with the Dolphin's inside of Atlantis as well as their full water park. All those things are great even to do them again but a lot of those excursion...

Think of 7A's as the Sea-going version of "pot luck". As you can see from these posts, 7A's are a bit of a true gamble as they can vary significantly. Here is a pic of one of the smaller 7A verananda's. This is cabin #5188 and its twin, 5688, has a similar balcony and here is the write up...

Nope, you cannot transfer a VGT category to a TA. As others have pointed out, transfers to TA MUST occur before the room has been "Paid In Full" (PIF) and since one of the primary designations of the VGT is that it MUST be PIF at the time you book it, consequently you can't transfer it...

We don't typically buy travel insurance either but we bought it with our June 13th VGT booking at the recommendation of the Disney agent (yes, we book direct). One line of thought is... If you get a bad cabin assignment, you could always cancel due to travel issues (e.g. car repair, bad...

Things like that are common on other cruise lines but appear to be non-existent on Disney cruises. That policy may be one of the reasons you can get some great upgrade deals at the port.

Here's my question and to some it may sound like I am from another planet but the ONLY reason my family would be in a room aligned with a concierge would be for the 1 bedroom space. My wife HATES ANYONE to wait on her (or us by proxy) so we would not actually use them for well... anything...

I am assuming that this is a FREE tour, right? How do you sign up for it? I see nothing available for a fee on the Day One tour options. Only thing listed is the 'sail away deck party".

Do like we did and book a 3-night instead. The 3 nighter also goes to Cast-a-way Bay. Saves about 30% and it's a good short trip. We drive from Orlando but the Disney bus also works well. We've been on two other Disney cruises (a 3 & a 4 nighter) and the 4 seemed to kinda "waste" a day rather...

We did the late dinner seating when we only had one boy and he was around 7 years old. He LOVED the shows and seeing them early meant that he wasn't tired and had a GREAT time. As others have said, at that age they want hamburgers and hot dogs and those can be picked up at the other areas of...

#1. Did you book a IGT, OGT or VGT room, and on which ship? VGT on Dream's June 13th, 2013 sailing #2. How many days before the cruise were you assigned your room? 10 days #3. What category (ex: 7a, 4c, 11c or whatever) and room # did you get? 4C #4. Are you happy with your assignment or do you...

Aren't the Cat V's the EXACT same 29 SqFt size as the 04x "Family" cabins? The only difference is the concierge service, right?

You are correct of course. Sorry for my mistake.

OK, thanks. I'll look it up I was trying to add a bit of levity to the thread 'cause we all know where this one is going. It sounds like the fan isn't going to work too well so perhaps a can of deer piss or FART spray would work better...goes looking for the LOL emoticon
