August 24, 2014 Dream DVC Member Cruise

[jerseygal]

I would assume that there is no guarantee of when the cruise will be scheduled, but I'm thinking generally they will be during "off peak" times for DCL - like hurricane season. We also cruised back in mid-August 2011 and that was rescheduled from August 2009 when the trip we would have been on was changed from an eastern to a western itinerary based on tropical weather. I would just say that if booking a cruise during hurricane season that one needs to be flexible and expect the unexpected!

In comparison to other cruises I would say there were less kids, but the only way I was actually able to gauge that was the smaller crowds on the family beach. Many of the trip reports posted on the FB page talked about big crowds at Serenity Bay, too.

FINGERS AND TOES crossed for good weather!
We ALWAYS purchase travel insurance anyway...would have to make sure that the travel provisions for weather are applicable...too many unexpected things happen!

Hurricane Ophelia affected the return of DVC's 2005 Member Cruise. We were detoured to Port Everglades. DCL helped with phone connections to help cruisers book different flights home if that was needed. Disney bussed us back to wherever, MCO or WDW or to Port Canaveral for your car.

I do not remember any particularly Rocky seas. We did stop at CC. I think the itinerary was Key West, Day at Sea, then CC.

That year the cruise was in the first part of September.

In 2013 we were on DCL at the end of July, and our itinerary was changed. We skipped St Martin altogether and went to Puerto Rico.
