DCL Questions

[disrailfan]

DW and I are a little bit confused!

Do DVC members cruising on points get the same package as those staying on Cash. Are meals included? What is included as a part of the cruise?

Any information would be appreciated.

Having recently booked a DCL cruise for 2002 with DVC points:

Included

• Stateroom accommodations on the ship
• All meals (dining rooms, buffets, room service) on the ship
• Meals on Castaway Cay
• Non-alcoholic beverages with meals
• Coffee, hot tea, milk, water any time
• Live entertainment
• Movies in the movie theater
• Most scheduled events
• Oceaneer Lab and Oceaneer Club children's programs
• Port charges

Not included

• Airfare
• Hotel accommodations before or after the cruise
• Ground transfers
• Tips for cabin steward and wait staff, paid at end of cruise
• Room service tips, paid when service is rendered
• $5 per person for dinner, $10 per person for brunch, at Palo adult optional dining room
• Wine, beer, alcohol
• Soft drinks (except with meals)
• Shore excursions
• Spa treatment and tips
• Some scheduled events, such as wine tasting
• Travel insurance

In other words, a DVC member paying with points and a cash customer buying a "cruise only" package are getting the same thing.

Please let me know if there are any mistakes or omissions in the lists above.

Plus as DVC, we got invited to a DVC only party and got FREE DVC hats, food and drinks. Plus there was a raffle and some people won DVC towels and bags.


LOVE that Cruise!!!!!!!

Just a clarification on the inclusion of soft drinks during meals. If you dine in the "sit down" restaurants on board ship your soft drinks are included. If you choose the buffets however, such as Topsiders or dine at the deck 9 stands like Plutos Dog House, soft drinks are not included there. Soft drinks are also not included on Castaway Cay nor are they included from Room Service.

There is a refillable mug available for purchase however which includes unlimited soft drink refills on board ship and on Castaway Cay. The price is $5 per day of entire cruise per person. 7 day cruise would be $35, 4 day would be $20 and 3 day would be $15.
