Non-USA? Which countries are they mostly from?

We are booked for our 5th DCL cruise in as many years in Feb 2015. We are from the UK and did our first ever cruise combined with a WDW visit 5 years ago and have been back every year since. This is very different from the type of holiday we would have chosen before having DS (now 8) but having done it we would definitely do the same even without DS now! (Not that we will be going without him for a good few years yet!). We always combine the weeks cruise with something else in Florida (usually WDW) to make the long and expensive flight worthwhile.

I have cruised a lot on other cruise lines and will be taking my 3rd disney cruise next week. I love DCL; love it! Cruising is not a fave vacation for me; I really don't care for it at all. But I love love love cruising a la Mickey. I don't know how they do it but for me its all in the attention to details, the superior service, the attitude from cast members (in a good way) just everything about the experience rings true to me. The only thing I don't like??? Leaving the ship

I was listening to the radio yesterday and the hosts were talking about a recent study that somehow measured people's satisfaction level for things they spend money on. I wish I could find the study, but they didn't link to it on their FB page like they usually do.

Number 3 on the list was cruising. I was not surprised by this in the least. Before I went on a cruise, I don't know if I would have believed this. But now every penny is well worth it to me. Especially on DCL where I know my kids will be just as happy as I am.

If I remember right, number one was home improvement projects and number two was tools and hardware. Amusement park vacations were also in the top ten but I don't remember exactly where it fell.

I wonder how they classify "non USA". We are British but live in America and have a US mailing address.

I would guess that a lot of the non USA on that sailing were British as that was half term week when kids are off school.

Anyone who is not a US citizen, or has dual citizenship. IOW, if you have dual citizenship you are in the Non USA category.

Don't you have to tell them prior to boarding your citizenship?
Don't you have to use a PP if not a US citizen, therefore they know you are a UK citizen.

The cruise we went on seemed diverse. I heard Italian, Spanish, French, Slavic, and Asian languages spoken by passengers throughout the cruise. There was a family in the table near ours at dinner, maybe from Ireland or Scotland. The dad would wear a kilt on some nights, sometimes their boys did too.

Cruising is awesome. Definitely worth the money spent. My husband dislikes theme park vacations. Couldn't even convert him when I took him on his first WDW visit 2 weeks ago.

I think most people are shocked by how stress-free it can be with all the entertainment and food included, and the level of service Disney offers. Plus, I think many adults picture kids running and screaming around them 24/7 and are truly surprised how quiet and adults-only you can make portions (or all) of your day.

When you combine 2 awesome things, cruising and Disney, people line up, mortgage their homes, take their kids out of school, make their pets get jobs, and pawn their dentures.

Hey, I'm going to Disneyland the first part of December, in the middle of the week, and all the Disney Hotels were sold out 6 months in advance. Not a single convention on the calendar.

Disney makes you feel like a kid again, regardless of your age.
