    Nassau port adventure Pearl Island vs Blue Lagoon?

    First, the transport to Pearl Island would be very similar, if not the same transport company, as Blue Lagoon. I think the tragedy of that ferry should cause some concern for any transport, not just to Blue Lagoon. We've done both and Blue Lagoon is a lot better. We did the VIP area on Blue...

    Getting main dining time off wait list?

    We have been wait listed several times and have always made the main dining. If you actually board and are still on the wait list, go to customer service. They may not be able to accommodate you, I don't know, but they literally will bend over backwards to try and make it work. I wouldn't...

    I’ve booked the trip....now what?

    Imagine if you planned even further out and had to wait several months before you could do anything.....that is how you end up doing multiple cruises per year. Plan them out every 6 months or less and you always have something to plan, book, or actually enjoy the vacation (planning for many of...

    Does the Dream show Sports anywhere?

    That's likely to be on, but the Pub is not like a normal sports bar....cricket is on a lot....I have no idea if Fox or CBS is available in the room, and if that game would be on the that affiliate....I don't know what to say....It's also not economical to stream the game on your phone...

    Does the Dream show Sports anywhere?

    The Pub doesn't always have control of their TV's...lots of international sports events....but will probably have prime time NFL games on...afternoon games, you may be better off in your room. In 2019, tried to watch a Nationally televised college game on ESPN a few years ago and the pub...

    New to Cruising! Any tips?

    If you are a drinker, I tend to find a bartender or server I like. They will make sure you get the drink you want when you want it and will check on you frequently, but in a good way. It may mean you are hanging out in the same deck area to get that, or same bar, but that's been okay for me to...

    Tusker House Character Breakfast - opinions?

    The only bad part of doing Tusker House for breakfast is we usually only do 1 day at AK and going there first means there's typically have a line formed already for the Avatar rides, so you can't just walk onto them as the park opens. If you can do those with lightning passes, then it works...

    San Angel Inn or Teppan Edo

    It's been awhile since we did either of those, but the last few times we did Teppan Edo, they used noodles instead of rise for the base. Just not the best hibachi meal we've had, and we visit a local one more than a few times a year. There are better options at Epcot than both of them in my...

    Disney Treasure Will Feature The World’s First Haunted Mansion Bar & Lounge?

    That would be awesome. There is so much potential they could do with that theme, including ghosts showing up in mirrors juggling the heads of people sitting at the bar. But wait, Hyperspace on the Wish is disappointing? Again, I think there's so much potential with that idea. They could of...

    How DCL fans view other ships…

    On our last cruise, I watched a Carnival ship role in and I commented on how bad the ship looked. Rust on the bottom, needed a paint job. Just looked dirty. Then I started looking at the ship a little closer and I realized it was the ship my wife and I cruised on for our honeymoon in 2002...

    Night before boarding

    We typically either stay at the Boardwalk the night before, another DVC resort, or the Hyatt. We love the Boardwalk, so that's always our first choice, but the later the flight, the more likely we will stay at the Hyatt. Overall, it's been a good experience. Very nice rooms. Easy to get...

    Pre or post dessert party?

    Just a warning if you have not done a party before, make sure you set your expectations. We've done it 3 times over the last 15 years, the latest being last month. It is over priced for what you get (surprise), but getting a reserved area to watch the fireworks is where you find the real...

    BWV boardwalk view vs BCV

    If the pool is overly important to you, BCV is a good choice. But honestly, we kind of like Boardwalk better. We've stayed at both and the Boardwalk just tends to be more enjoyable. They have updated a lot of the rooms twice since we've owned there. Really, both are great for getting to HS...

    Christine McCarthy confirms Disney Wish ship delayed

    Don't forget that when they make you start over, the price will be much higher.

    How many people have sailed on all four ships?

    Covid prevented us from getting the Magic in last spring, which would have been the career grand slam for us. Our reschedule is on the Fantasy next summer....so long from now...sigh....

    How would you change Castaway Club Levels

    I'm not sure they would base it on # of nights vs # of cruises. On a cost per night, the 3 and 4 night cruises are actually more expensive than the longer cruises, so they make more money on the 3 & 4 night cruises. They'd rather you take a 3 night plus a 4 night over just a 7 night cruise...

    Torn between two cruises

    There are other factors to consider here. The vacation will be different not only by the number of days and where you go, but also by which ship you're on and by your departure ports. While the price of the cruise is $2,700 different, you also have to factor in differences in flight costs...

    College National Championship Jan 13 on the Dream?

    They'll either show the game or cricket. I got on the Dream the day after Thanksgiving and I wanted to watch an ABC game. They couldn't put it on at the bar but I was able to watch it in my state room. By the way, if the game isn't on at the bar, the bartenders have to call in someone to...
