Current AMEX White Glove

[MrsG]

Thanks RIDISNEYLOVERS for the push to call DCL. I called the 800 info # for DCL and asked for the Dining Coordinator. She was very helpful and confirmed our rotation as LAP (we are not taking the kids on the cruise) and said that we could book Palos Dinner, High Tea, and Champagne Brunch on the phone which we did. They couldn't have been nicer.

So don't wait for a letter about Palos to arrive. Call DCL and book Palos ASAP.

Thanks for all your help. Hope this clears up Palo Advance Ressies!

Sorry- I would have responded earlier but was out of town on an emergency-We did not get that one picture that had the characters in the theater-we didn't care to have the all the people that had the White Glove in the picture with us-we had plenty of other opportunities to get pictures with the characters all together-we picked another 8x10 from Shutters-As far as Palo's goes-when I called before we left, I was told I would have to do it on the ship-I didn't make a big stink out of it-once on the ship-I was able to get right in-picked the time we want-(after I checked the rotation)-

That is the first I heard about champagne (yum!)... even Amex website does not mention that...

has anyone received that as part of their package in the past?

Does anyone know if this would work if our American Express is my husbands corporate Amex through his company? It is still in his name/credit, etc. but done through his company.
Also - do you have to book through Amex to get this package, or can my TA get it for us?
Thanks

Still looking for more info! My TA said that according to her info, it is only if you have a Platinum AMEX, not a regular one. Can anyone confirm that they have done this with a regular AMEX??

 

[bennett]

We used our Plat Amex (Sky Miles) which they say is different than the regular Plat Amex-with ours we received $250. credit with regular Plat you can receive $300. room credit--I hate to see all of this confusion-they may think its not worth this confusion and do away with it--

 

[RIDISNEYLOVERS]

We have not gone on our trip yet, but we did book 5 staterooms (cat 5) with the AMEX. Two of those staterooms had the platinum card and received the $300 and the rest had regular and received the $250. This is supposedly on our "reservation", but like I said we had not sailed yet!! We'll see!!

I would really like info from someone that sailed recently that used the "parks and ports" package!!

When I called DCL I told them we had an AMEX (it was actually platinum but I neglected to mention this) We got the $250 package for $57 so you CAN get it with a regular AMEX. When I called back after I heard you can get $300 with the platinum and ours was platinum, DCL said that they were not allowed to ask if it was platinum or not. Anyway both DCL (who we booked through) and AMEX said that you can only get the $300 credit if you switch the reservation to AMEX. If you do this, AMEX charges their cruise prices which will probably more than cancel out the extra $50 credit. Hope this helps. Also check the AMEX website, there is info about the shipboard credit packages there. Good luck, don't give up! You will get it!

Would it be worth it to go ahead and get an AMEX card before we book our cruise???

 

[MCazer]

Would it be worth it to go ahead and get an AMEX card before we book our cruise???

Yes, because you can get a Amex card (Blue Card) with no annual fee!

 

[Diamond_Girls]

I got a Hilton Honor's program Amex card. No annual fee but all purchases put points in your account where you can earn free stays. I figure if I keep the account for 100 years, I may get a week's stay in Hawaii for free!!

This card works for all the special Amex Disney Cruise programs.

Just remember that the White Glove program has lots of date restrictions. It did not apply the week of our cruise (11/23) bc of the holiday.

We just got back from the incredible Western 7 night! We paid $57 for the AMEX add on and it was well worth it. We had a note in our stateroom when we arrived stating we had a $250 credit to our shipboard account. The beach bag and pin were on our bed. Two days later we received in our room the coupon for the free shutters pic which we used for one of our formal portraits. You do not have to use it at the White glove photo op. Well worth the $57 we paid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
