    Disappointed in the photopackage

    This sounds just awful and very upsetting. The packages are expensive and photos are important souvenirs to many guests, DCL really needs to do better.

    Macadamia Conditioner - smells like DCL??

    Has anyone used "Macadamia Professional Daily Deep Conditioner - Essential Repair - Color-Safe, Cruelty-Free and 100% Vegan, Sheer Pecan" and if so, did the scent remind you of a DCL ship? I have Victor & Rolf Flowerbomb perfume and I thought that one smelled like DCL but this is totally...

    What is your favourite DCL souvenir?

    I always get a Christmas tree ornament anywhere we travel including the ships. We have two small trees full of travel ornaments and it's so fun to hang them and think of the memories. Also love beach towels to use at our pool. But my number one souvenir is always photos. Funny souvenir...

    Checkout this WISH stateroom!

    Yikes I would be very disappointed in that balcony. How is that a 4E? No room for even a folding chair, much less a lounge chair. I guess if you like to pace the balcony instead of relax on it this might be a good option.

    Embankment Pcr test after recent recovery

    This is just ridiculous, I cannot believe you were treated that way, especially while healthy with no symptoms. Did your friend ever take another test to confirm the positive results? Standing and waiting for your luggage for what, 3 hours? That's just unacceptable.

    Vermont couple claims daughter was assaulted on Fantasy in 2020

    The article indicates it was in the lab where crew members were supervising (not open house, no parents present), that it's plain to see on the video and that the assault went on for 20 minutes and no crew member intervened. If that's true, it's horrific. That poor child.

    San Diego Cruises 2021

    CVS and Walgreens will both take appointments for tests in California and they say results in 1-2 days. My son took a PCR test at a CVS (in Orange County, not San Diego) on a Friday morning and got the results by email Saturday night. Locations may differ but you just pull up to the...

    DCL Has Their Protocol Out!!!

    This is fantastic news! Testing makes much more sense than a vaccine requirement in my opinion. I don't love masks inside but it won't ruin the trip at all, pretty much the only extended time we spend inside is for dining and shows. We have the EBPC booked for November, it seems like too much...

    NCL (newer ships) vs. DCL with older teens/YA?

    Seriously Coco Cay was just absolutely fantastic. Something for all ages. Oh we got lost on the Oasis! Or at least we were checking maps regularly the first few days. But other than the muster/safety presentation, we never felt like we were stuck in a huge crowd. I don't mind a little...

    NCL (newer ships) vs. DCL with older teens/YA?

    We were on the Oasis with our teens. The Flow Rider was the biggest hit. Actually Coco Cay was the biggest hit but Flow Rider was a favorite on board. I was surprised because we like the smaller ships on DCL but the size of the Oasis was fine. It seemed better laid out than the DCL Fantasy.

    NCL (newer ships) vs. DCL with older teens/YA?

    We have sailed DCL, NCL, and RCCL with our kids. RCCL is our teens' top choice hands down. Primarily due to Coco Cay (which was absolutely amazing), but also the Flow Riders, climbing wall, zip line, etc. DCL has basically nothing for active teens. NCL we were on a ship with a go kart but not...

    My only complaint about our cruise

    OP, sorry your verandah experience was diminished. Smoke really bothers me, but I've been lucky to have no smoking neighbors. If I were to vote, I would vote for the cancer sticks to only be allowed on verandahs on one side of the ship. It seems ridiculous to me that Disney can't implement...

    Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique yay or neh?

    Queen, two questions: 1. Do you have a similar technique for an easy updo for a grown princess? 2. Could you share a picture of your daughter in her princess gear for those of us reading this thread without daughters? I only have sons... I am *this* close to booking a cruise for myself and...

    Anyone with experience with Happy Limo for cruise transportation?

    We booked a stretch limo with Happy Limo for our family of 6 from the port to the airport last October. We saw a stretch limo pull up, and started to walk toward it but a but a family of 5 was there first. A few minutes after they had all got in, they got out and started unloading the luggage...

    Cruising with food allergies

    This would have been wonderful but was not our experience. We were never offered a pre-order for breakfast or lunch. Half the time the head server came to our table, the other half we had to ask our regular server to assist us because the head server was not available. At no time did someone...

    Forgot our photos from Shutters in our stateroom

    bumping this up to find out if Maggie ever received her photos?

    Cruising with food allergies

    This was October 2011. Maybe we just had an inexperienced serving team. Menus brought to your table would be an improvement. I was pretty stunned by the 3 ring binder being held up for me to look at while standing in an aisle, hopefully that was not the norm! :)

    Travel Agent/ DCL mistake left us not booked!!! but being resolved...

    I'm with justmestace - the fewer people involved, the less chance for errors! I'll use a TA for perks, but I still always feel the need to confirm everything myself. But to each his own. this is awesome!

    Cruising with food allergies

    My son is allergic to eggs and peanuts so we have experience with this. At the buffets, you will need to ask to speak with a chef who can walk you through the buffet and/or make you something special. This can be difficult if they are busy, so try to go at off-times if you want to go to a...
