    Question about medical services on the boat

    From Disney's website: "For your convenience, a physician and nurse are on call 24 hours a day to provide basic medical services on every cruise. The physician and nurse are employed by a company independent from Disney Cruise Line. Standard prevailing fees will be charged for all physician...

    NON DVC CRuise Advice

    I have been on 3 carnival cruises and have never experienced the "frat house" atmosphere that people refer to. I will say that the ships you are looking at are the older ones that have been in the fleet for quite a while. I have heard nothing good lately about the Majesty of the Seas from RCCL...

    How do you pack beverages?

    Put it in your checked luggage around your clothes. Just make sure the bag does not end up weighing over 50 pounds. And I agree.... water is NOT the same everywhere!

    Diapers

    Everything you read *says* they won't feed them, and they won't feed them meals. But I had a small unopened box of cereal that we had gotten from breakfast in DD's bag. When I picked our DD up, they were having a Cheerio's party with the cereal. It was cute, 4 or 5 of them sitting in a circle...

    How do you know??

    The usually tell you when you board the ship that your stateroom will be ready at a certain time (around 1:00 ?). Take a light carry on/roll-a-board and you'll be fine! Have a great time!

    Last minute DCL discounts?

    All I can say is that the airline rates are one of the few "perx" we have left. ;)

    Anyone used Prepaid AmEx card?

    Why not just use traveler's cheques? They are more widely accepted and can be replaced as well. Also, I believe the ship will cash them at no charge. I don't know much about the Amex Travelfunds card except they cost $14.99 to purchase (of course reuseable, but still expensive). I would...

    Flounder's Reef Availability

    It's probably more an issue during the peak season, than in early November. If I remember correctly we were able to book 3 time slots at first, but we never had any problems with calling them and reserving more. We went in June of last year. I really don't think you'll have a problem...

    Random thought re: CMs

    I saw one of the travel specials where on this particular line it was the cruise directors job to do the daily paper (Navigator, Caper, etc). They spent a good part of their day doing the layout and planning for the next day. They did note that while *most* activities are the same from...

    Trouble Getting Suites in 2006?

    Hmmm.... I got an email from cust. service this morning saying that suites were available to book for Fall 2006. "Just contact my TA or reservations".

    I'm Still In Shock!!

    That's GREAT! Congrats! Okay - so now they are getting through August. I wonder when the suites will be released onto the website???? I had a crazy idea to maybe take my parents with us in a Cat. 2. I don't think we could afford it, but would like to see. ::MickeyMo ::MinnieMo...

    A question for long time cruisers (TVGUY maybe?)

    We just got back last week from another cruise line, older ship where we had keys to our room as well as our on board account. The key we had was a little smaller than our cards with holes for the combination. Hard to explain - but keys are still our there. :) -joy

    disney v. other cruise line

    I think Tvguy had it right... DCL has its own distinct personality. I have been on 3 other lines and have enjoyed each one in its own way. Our DCL experience was probably last on our list, however we believe it was a fluke and will be much better next time. We are currently looking to book...

    Peak/Off Peak Pricing

    Hi Gales! I sent you a PM. I knew you guys were off sometime this month or next.... have a great time! We just got back from a cruise on another line on Friday..... it was great relaxing by the sea again! Thanks for your reply. I am thinking that *nothing* is off peak. :) I just need...

    Peak/Off Peak Pricing

    I'm sure this is a repeat question - and I apologize! Would someone tell me what the "peak" and "off Peak" times are to travel on DCL? I've checked pricing on several cruises but can't seem to get very much of a difference in price. Also, how can I get my castaway club number? Thank...

    I'm frugal, is this $8000 or $9000 vacation worth it???

    I am with you and am very frugal. We went on the 7 day Eastern last summer and had an "okay" time. Given the $$ we spent was almost twice what we would have spent on another line, I don't think it was worth it. We will go on Disney again? Yes, sometime in the future when both kids are old...

    Flounder's Reef Nursery

    Flouder's Reef was really good on our cruise. All of our requests were accepted, but we were there ASAP the first day of the cruise. We were also able to call them in the afternoon or whenever to book additional time. One time we had to move our time by an hour or so, but it all worked out...

    Bad DCL experience... Do I need a new hobby?

    Dave, Please don't give up your hobby.... you have my menu's after all. I would hate to think that I got them for nothing! Regrettably, we had a horrible experience on the magic back in June. Not every crew member has the same attitude when it comes to customer service, notably in the...
