If you had to pick one thing...

Dont miss the Island of St. John (Eastern): even more like paradise than C.Cay - much more scenic! We, too, felt Hercules was disappointing: the acting was poor - as was the sound. Shame, as last year it was much better. It needs re-vamping. Nat

I am so happy that so many people said not to miss the shows....DONT!!!! They are spectacular. I also think you should go to the Promenade Lounge on Deck 3 to see the Lounge singer musicians. They are a lot of fun and they play really great music. It is a wonderful way to spend a half hour before a show or dinner!

Honestly the only complaint I have is that the cruise flies by so fast and there are so many activities that you sometimes have to make rough decisions, but! any decision you make will be the right one1


OMG I cannot believe I forgot the deck 4 chairs!!!! Just when you go to sit in them, make sure you dont have anything planned to soon to when you sit because you can easily fall asleep or just never want to move!

We wouldn't miss the Palo brunch or deck 4 chairs.

Don't miss the chairs on deck 4!

Note to ksjayhawks- GO WILDCATS!!!

 

[videoman]

what is so great about the deck 4 chairs????????

Glad to see that everyone has different ideas!!!!!!!!!

Would love some more suggestions

 

[ldb1030]

they are just soooooooooooo relaxing!!!
I think they put something in them to make you sleep!
I loved going to sit in one after dinner every night and listening to the ocean!

Wouldn't miss CC.

Would never again fly in the day of the cruise.

Regarding the deck 4 chairs. They are very comfortable, the Deck isn't very crowded, and the kids can run up and down the deck while you relax. Our kids made a pretend bar out of one of the benches, and brought us "drinks." Hmm, I wonder what they learned on the cruise...

Hey I would have to agree with everyone's favorite
'don't miss' things, but I do need to defend the Hercules muse-ical. We thought is was very funny! Hades reminded me very much of the genie from Aladdin!!!

But to each his own...

Never, I mean never, miss a sunrise or sunset. They are the most beautiful sights and they are different every time. I love sitting on deck 10 with a cup of coffee waiting for the sun. I have more pictures of this than any other thing on the cruise.

We have never gone to Palos for dinner (4 DCL cruises) and do not plan to go in the future. Brunch yes ... dinner no. We love the rotation, our table companions and the wait staff.

We really like it too! I wouldn't miss it (and we have seen it 4 times already).

Wouldn't miss...the sail away party and the sound of the horn; the chairs on deck 4...anyone know where I can buy one of those?!...sunrises and sunsets
....Now that I think of it...I wouldn't miss a thing!

If you are on the Eastern, Capt. Nautica is an awesome, don't miss excursion if you want to snorkel.

I can not think of a single thing that I wouldn't do again.

Getting up at dusk and walking the empty decks and watching the sun rise! Awesome!

The midnight walks on the deck watching the island lights in the distance and other ships pass in the night!

To everyone who said, "Castaway Cay", that's like pouring salt on an open wound for me. That's the only port we had to miss, and it turns out to be the only port I hadn't been to (western Caribbean) a handful of times on other cruises! Bad luck with weather conditions, so one day I'll get there!

I really didn't want to miss the wine tasting seminars, but they were sold out for both at sea days on the first at sea day.
Had I known how early I needed to book it, I wouldn't have missed it. Ugh.

Now, for something I actually did that I would not miss again....
Palo. I did a dinner and a brunch there, and I enjoyed it both times.

I liked the shows ok, but I just didn't find Disney Dreams met the hype I was led to expect. I enjoyed it, but it wasn't my favorite show. I liked Hercules better. Of all the shows, I actually liked the last show best, as it was like a highlights reel of all the other shows.
