DVC and DCL

[Mulan2]

Hi All
We became DVC members this past June.
My question is regarding our cruise for next summer. Will DCL know that we are DVC members even though we rebooked onboard last January when we weren't? Should we let them know now?
Do they have a DVC gathering like the Castaway Club party or is that part of the sales presentation?
Thanks for your help.

Yes!!! You will get a cool magnet on your door that say's welcome home. We also got a few extra goodies, left in our stateroom.

If you haven't done so yet, go to the Cruise meet thread and get to know your sailmates. That was really fun for me last year on the Med Cruise.

We are going on our third DCL next July, we bought in to DVC while on our first cruise. My husband is a tax attorney and great with "number crunching" he is always telling me what a good deal cruising is with DVC, even though others disagree.

Since you booked the cruise before becoming members there is a slim chance they might not know. Best thing to do is visit the DVC desk on deck 4 and let them know. Then you'll be included in all the goodies. Every time we've cruised on cash they have still known but friends sailing with us didn't get the goodies or the invite to the member reception. Turns out they booked the cruise before becoming DVC members. We stopped with them at the desk on deck 4 and they were taken care of.

I agree with the advise to head over to the cruise board and join the meets thread for your cruise. It is a great way to know your fellow DIS cruisers.

I've read a lot of posts also saying using points for DCL is not a good use of points. Can your husband share how he crunched the numbers? I would really like to see his opinion on this.
