Boarding has just started. Will talk to you again when we get to Vancouver. Going to be a great trip. Sorry hate to brag but I’m very excited.

I hope the cruise goes well. I might see if there's a room available on one of the short Bahamas cruises that sails within the next 1 or 2 weeks

If you're reading this thread because you look at New Posts and not because you know anything about cruising (that would be me, for example), please know that the posters on this thread are having a virtual cruise. DCL has suspended all operations through at least October 31, 2020.

It's overcast and a bit muggy here today in Vancouver, hopefully the sun breaks through tomorrow for your sail away, going under the Lions Gate Bridge with the sun shining is a special moment!

Just got to the room. Good flights. Little bumpy philly to Toronto for 20 minutes but other than that everything was good.

I'm booked on the cruise too, but have an inside stateroom. Cant catch a break....

The baby fell asleep in his pack and play! Crossing fingers he’ll sleep good throughout his first cruise.

I would love to have been in that meeting room when they were deciding Castaway Club gifts:

"You know what's better than one sling bag, FIVE sling bags!"

I just got my first DCL sling bag today. I AM excited about it, as my last DCL cruise was Dec 2014 - different gift. I’m looking forward to using it in September and November at WDW (fingers crossed).

I’m happy to be done with the blue & white striped bags. I’ve kept and reused the red & black bags and the net bag.

They really can’t win with the repeat cruisers. Except free Palo; somebody probably doesn’t like that, either.

And we are having fun. Used to be, we would be gathering in the Promenade Lounge for our DISBoards meet and greet.

Just got to the room. Good flights. Little bumpy philly to Toronto for 20 minutes but other than that everything was good.

Are you going through Toronto to catch Air Canada? From Alabama, we head west and north, using American carriers to either Seattle (and take Amtrak to Vancouver) or into YVR.

We did sideways cabins and used the teak loungers on Deck 4 for the fjord / glacier day. Love that cabin layout.

Here’s hoping you end up with a great travel child.

Bon Voyage!

Can someone let me know what the Castaway gifts are? I would think by now they've moved on from the sling bags

DCL branded face mask and hand sanitizer.

Oh I know Alaska is expensive - we did one big one and I loved it but the cost was eye popping !! But I said how often do you helicopter to a glacier and sled dog?? It was so much fun but I also really enjoyed the nature tours we took very interesting and I got to see bears!! I love bears !!

On my last Alaska cruise which was dcl very first Alaska cruise we were by the Walt Disney theatre Waiting for the doors to open It was the first or second night. when a cast member yelled there is whales on the starboard side. Cast members were also excited since it was dcl first Alaska cruise.

@dclpluto Are masks required? Is everyone wearing them?

If I was on your cruise, out of all cruises that have been and those yet to be, this one would be a "NO HOLDING BACK" super duper MAGICAL ONE. I say *RELEASE THE $$$$$$'s!*
