DREAM Sail Date December 11th 2011

[disneyin84]

Does anyone have their room number?

We're in #8506...all the way forward. I'm so excited! Don't have much in the way of plans for before or after the cruise because we're from the Orlando area. However, we may need to hit Disney on Saturday to start soaking up the Disney feeling and to make time go faster!

Only 11:30 brunch left at Palos at 12:01am for 2. No tables for 3-4. Lots of things are gone at Castaway Cay also. Must be lots of Platnium cruisers on this cruise!

 

[lbuher]

What port arrival time were you able to get?

 

[gydell]

11am port arrival time. All the times were left.

 

[lbuher]

Just out of curiosity... did you get back up at 3 or wait until this morning to get your port arrival time? I'm trying to decide if I wanna get up in the middle of the night.... I soooooo need my sleep!

 

[gydell]

I stayed up. You can do it at 12am est. I got right in with no problems like on the 2 week cruises. Only problem was there were no times left at Palo brunch except for 2 people. So I booked 2 tables and am hoping they let us combine.

 

[jharrowell]

I've done Palo for dinner but never for brunch, what's involved with that?

 

[gydell]

We like brunch MUCH better than dinner. If you can I would suggest trying it but don't eat breakfast before you go! They have made to order items plus buffet style items. Brunch is only offered on sea days so it makes it harder to get.

Did some research and it looks good but I'm a vegetarian who's also diabetic. Think there's anything there for me?

 

[gydell]

Seafood & some egg dishes? I go for the bread, pizza, pasta and chocolate strawberries.

I said vegetarian. I don't eat food with a face. Even a face like flippers.

No salads I know of.... Save your $ and eat in 1 of the dining rooms.

OK,will do. I'm surprised DCL is so limited on handling dietary requirements though...

I thought the check-in/port arrival time was not available til 3 EST?

You have to fill out ALL your forms and then you can get to the port arrival time.

 

[lbuher]

I thought I had read on numerous threads on the main board that being able to actually do the online checkin and picking your port arrival time could NOT be done at 12 EST - that you HAD to wait until 3 EST to do that part.

If you were able to do it ALL when you were logged in at 12, that's definitely different than what has been being reported, and good to know.

Don't know. Maybe it was a fluke or maybe DCL being nice to me for once since usually it is pain in the waszoo for me to get on line to book things.

 

[PrincessaC]

Lots of things are gone at Castaway Cay also.

Like what? Should I be worried?

Do I want an early port arrival time? Should I be worried that I can't do anything until 9/27?

I feel like I'm going in blind...

 

[gydell]

Early check in means lower # to get on ship. We like being one of the 1st ones on. Things gone at CC are things that I don't want like all the cabanas.

 

[PrincessaC]

So we are called to board by number. Wonder what time I'll get.

I thought about getting a cabana but after I saw the prices I changed my mind.
