this is a reply email I got from DCL when I was asking them about halloween
this is the reply I got from DCL
Dear Jackie,

Thank you for choosing a Disney Cruise Line Vacation!

I can answer your question regarding the theme nights for your cruise.

Dining attire varies by venue or theme night on your cruise. In general,
most meals are "Cruise Casual" -- no shorts, swimwear or tank tops;
jeans, khakis and capris are permitted. Most cruises also have special
theme nights. Below is the recommended attire for your cruise itinerary
and is subject to change:

On 7-night Western Caribbean cruises:
*Nights 1, 2, 4, & 7: cruise casual
*Night 3: "formal night" - formal wear for men: tuxedo or suit; for
women: gown or dress
*Night 5: pirate night with deck party - cruise casual or your best
pirate outfit!
*Night 6: "semi-formal night" - semi-formal wear for men: suit/jacket;
for women: dress or pantsuit.

Dress for dinner at Palo on all cruises:
Men: dress shirt or jacket
Women: dress or pantsuit

Guests who are sailing on the Disney Magic's 7-Night Costa Maya Cruise
departing on October 25, 2008 will be enjoy several 'spooktacular'
events during their voyage.

All Guests are invited to wear their best Halloween costumes; however,
we ask that you choose costumes which are not obstructive or offensive.
To avoid any disappointment or delay in your boarding process, we ask
that when considering costume options you refrain from bringing toys or
props that resemble guns, knives or other related implements, as these
items will not be permitted onboard.

Featured events include family trick-or-treating, as well as themed
parties for the children and for the teens. For adults, we offer a
ghoulishly fun Halloween party and costume contest. Prizes are awarded
based on the following categories:

Funniest
Best Group
Most Spooky
Most Original
Most Disney

More details will be found in your onboard Personal Navigator.

[michellebriana]

Wow! We are a chatty bunch. Thread 2 and 93 days to go!

Michelle

[PaDisneyCouple]

wonder how many posts we'll get to here on volume 2?

[NewfieMom]

Holy Cow - thread 2!! Awesome!!!!!!

Michelle - so sorry to hear about the cancellation - but even more sorry to hear that both you and Angelina are not well . Must admit, had tears in my eyes reading your post today. Please keep us posted, and hopefully you'll both start doing better soon. Yes, it's disappointing to cancel - and have you cancel - but your's and Angelina's health have to come first!

debster - please keep posting - hopefully you'll soon feel comfortable enough to introduce yourself. We're not that bad, honestly!

abitjaded - please stick around!! And yes, there are plans for a dis meet, a photo op, and a special trick or treat. Lots of links in our first post to show you what we have planned. Will admit that some of us are a bit strange too! (But in a totally harmless way, I promise!! )

Suzie - glad to hear your dad is out of hospital Hopefully the riot act you read him about taking better care of himself works !

Valerie

[mommy2777]

just saying hi on the new thread, so HI! hehehehe see you guys thursday!

[Shoshie]

Wow! A second thread -- impressive gang

[disney4dana]

A second thread and still new people joining in. Must say I am impressed. We are a chatty bunch!

I have been reading back on the old thread...

Michelle~you take care of yourself and angelina

Valerie~ we have a VOLUNTEER. I beleive Lisa said she would help out with the TOT. Will you pass that on? I wonder if someone tipped her off on what we do on chat nite so she tried to beat us to it?

Abibjaded and debster~~I agree with Valerie. There really are a great group of people here on this thread. Please join in the fun!

Dana

[kvaday]

Ok, I am so lost when it comes to excursions in Cozumal. Has anyone ever been? We were thinking of just getting a taxi to take us either shopping or to a beach. We were looking at some of the excursions but nothing really jumped out at us. Any suggestions? Our DD's will be 8 & 5.

[suziemva]

Thanks, Val. I can only hope that the one I gave him and the one DH gave him today gets through his head. What a fiasco today was! Glad it's over....

Got our excursion set for DH and the big girls. Little girls are too young to do so many things, so we will stay on board while they go gallavanting around. Then we'll spend the day together in Grand Cayman shopping around. Too little time to do too much.

Feel so much better getting all this stuff done. 2 of 7 FE done - in the bag! That alone makes me feel less stressed!

This is going to be such a great cruise!!! I'm so excited!

[suziemva]

OMGoodness! Just found the coolest thing ever for the stateroom doors!!!!

and check out the post where I found them....

http://www.disboards.com/showthread....1811017&page=2


These are just so cute, I HAD to share them!!!!

Gosh, now which ones do I use???

[abitjaded]

Dear Vanessa. We have been to Cozumel three times (other than a dive trip when Cozumel was just a place to dive 20 years ago).

You can easily get a cab and go to any beach that strikes your fancy, including all the ones on the excursions. Our favorite was wiped out, so the last time we took the Fury Catamaran trip.

We are doing it again this trip just because it was easy and fun. We are hard-core snorkelers and the beaches that did have good shore snorkeling were pretty devasted. Hopefully in the two years that have passed the snorkeling has improved.

The Fury snorkeled in fairly shallow water. The beach was nice. The Catamarans fairly smooth. It was great if it strikes your fancy.

Shopping is right at the end of the pier. There is a glitzy (by Mexico standards) mall and the main drag. No taxi needed.

If you cab it, know where you want to go, the drivers get perks for taking you to certain clubs and may try to change your mind.

Closing on 7/27. Time to get those plans written down, and check out the web site. Let's see if I recall what PJPoohBear taught us last year: first book Palo brunch, then Palo dinner, then excursions, etc. Time for more laundry, and a hair cut, while works, and sleeps.
