    Book with DCl, then transfer placeholder?

    Also you don't secure the price by doing it this way. When placeholders are used they cancel the "booked" version and rebook. It used to be that you could secure the booking and sort out the placeholder later but that is no longer the case. The price you will pay will be the price when you book...

    Sailing out of New Orkeans

    This is true. They had to do special offers on the NO cruises to get them to a decent capacity. With the port fees they have a break even point and this was difficult to obtain without discounts / special offers. They had similar issues with San Diego too but have used that in previous years as...

    Via Napoli Question (Or EPCOT - Italy)

    Thanks. Maybe well be cheeky and just go in and grab a starter between us. So sad not to be able to get a cheese plate and some lovely wine

    Via Napoli Question (Or EPCOT - Italy)

    Is the wine cellar back to having seating inside or is it still take away bar area? We went last May and sat outside on the tables nearby but would love it to be back to how it was. I fancy a lemoncello flight but not if I need to carry it outside :D

    Deny Room cleaning/houssekeeping on cruise

    I like having twice a day as it means if I use the towel half way through the day they get collected and don't have 24 hours to sit and smell damp. Also if you go with once a day you'd either have beds made up all day (if using the sofa bed for example) so nowhere to sit. I'd much rather they...

    Would magic bands from 2018 work?

    Unless you have actually deactivated them they are always active so no need to "reactivate" at all they will just work. The only thing old bands can't do is long range photo pick up so the photos on rides like Tron etc wont automatically link to your account. You have to get the photopass people...

    Treasure Stateroom Themes

    Theme wise its likely to be correct as DCL was giving out the info rather than how they did it with the Wish. What they've probably done (whoever originally set it up) is use the Wish as a template and used their berth info as I'm not sure that information has been given out by DCL. In terms of...

    Indian Food On Cruises

    The reason its available is because its a staple in the staff restaurant onboard. They have a high proportion of staff that enjoy this food and also quite a few Indian chefs so that makes it easy for them to offer as an option. They can only really cook things they have the ingredients for and...

    Only Guaranteed Inside Rooms

    Unfortunately the Wish and Treasury both have less inside rooms than the other ships which means that supply is also limited. The cruise will have reached its threshold of inside rooms available to book hence why its moved to the guaranteed level. This allows them to keep selling but gives them...

    October 2023 Magic Westbound Panama Canal

    You might have more luck on the main page I'm afraid as this cruise went Miami to San Diego so nowhere near Galveston.

    October 2023 Magic Westbound Panama Canal

    Yeah I think this is also a possibility OK well this is weird because I checked my original booking and you are right it did say 1pm but at the point where I booked tours I wrote down the port times at it said 3:45pm. I'm not wondering if they accidentally changed it at some point and then...

    October 2023 Magic Westbound Panama Canal

    Sorry wasn't trying to offend you in anyway. As said Disney changed its port times so I feel this was them doing as you mention mitigating for the worst case scenario. They don't really have any other mitigation options do they?

    October 2023 Magic Westbound Panama Canal

    Disney schedule their transit and changed the port times in Columbia a few months back when the transit issues started so I think they are just ensuring we make the scheduled transit time. Its mainly container ships having issues as they don't schedule their transit in advance

    October 2023 Magic Westbound Panama Canal

    Ohhh good spot. I think with this one not having the extras like the hot tubs I would be more inclined to do a day pass. The area is so small and last time I paid for a length of stay it was so busy in there I didn't find I used it enough to warrant the cost. See you in just over 2 weeks (in...

    Encanto Experience on the Magic?

    I've been looking through recent navigators and there is both with the Mirabel & Bruno meet and greet being on a different day to the show.

    Rumors about Fantasy

    I completely agree! Yes the programme is no more difficult than it is to get into the US and us Europeans visit there regularly so I think its people not really getting the system. You guys have had it for years and never had any issue with tourist numbers dropping because of it.

    HOTHS Trick or Treating

    On the Wish they had stations set up in the Hero Zone area but the queue was insane as only one time offered (5pm) and everyone wanted to partake. It went down from there on to the pool deck and around that. The show was then at 7:30 and just once. They had the adult party later on in Luna.

    Rumors about Fantasy

    So tipping in the UK is kind of a weird one. Its becoming more common but most of the country still doesn't tip regularly and even just from forums you see so many people moaning about having to tip in the US or saying they don't tip. On the UK cruises there is such a high proportion of people...

    Rumors about Fantasy

    I feel the same! I love Castaway and don't like the sound of LP (the fact its not a fully private island really narks me).

    Rumors about Fantasy

    That's the biggest Brit issue too! We really don't get it that cruise ships aren't British! Lots of the UK cruiselines automatically include tips for that reason and I've always said DCL should for the ones leaving the UK as its so unfair on the crew. The amount of people you see at GS removing...
