It's all about how to book a Disney Cruise Line vacation . . .

[JJZMgailey]

. . . on this week's episode of the Dreams Unlimited Podcast!

If you're anything like me and get confused with all the choices - ships, itineraries, decks, extras, pricing - but you know you've already chosen DCL, this is the show for you!

 

[OKW Lover]

Haven't listed yet but happy to see Tracey doing this. She's been our agent for many, many cruises.

 

[KathyTX]

Tracey rocks at booking cruises.

Plus, she's pretty entertaining to travel with if you get a chance!!

 

[soniam]

I listened. I was actually looking forward to it after Pete announced last week. It was pretty useful, even though I have been on DCL once before and RCCL a few times before. I still wish they had explained the different categories more, but I think it's just so complicated that it's difficult to discuss on a show and in that timeframe.

 

[KathyTX]

If you have any questions about categories, try asking here or on the Cruise forums. Lots of us have cruised multiple times on DCL and Royal Caribbean (and others!), and would be happy to try to help. And of course we can shout out for Tracey to help wth questions!

I so want to do a Disney cruise one of these days.

You won't regret it

You won't regret it

I need to do a Disney cruise and go to Disneyland. I need to win the lottery.

Me too Then I could do one of those round the world cruises.

 

[Princess Jes]

Though I can't see a cruise in my future... At all... I still love listening to these shows and look forward to this one too!

When you do, can I come with you?!

We are planning (hoping) to do our first cruise during February break of 2018 - so I appreciated getting some of the "basics" from here. Definitely thinking of using Dreams as the whole process is new to us and would love to request Tracey (if that is something you can do) as she seems to know her stuff and I appreciate her style/personality on these shows

You absolutely can request Tracey if you like!

 

[OKW Lover]

To request Tracey (or any other Dreams Agent) just put her name in the comments section of the on-line form that you fill out.

 

[safetymom]

On the cruise quote request form near the bottom is a drop down box where you can select the agent you would like to work with.

 

[rteetz]

When you do, can I come with you?!

Of course!

 

[Princess Jes]

To request Tracey (or any other Dreams Agent) just put her name in the comments section of the on-line form that you fill out.

As Kathy said, there's now a drop down box with all the agents names.

I listened back to all of the dreams shows and took notes on the agent profiles and worked out which agent specialized only in WDW and Universal and seemed to tour as adults without kids and that's how I ended up with Susan!! And she's wonderful!

This show was beyond helpful and very timely! Melissa and I are preparing to book a Disney cruise for the summer of 2017, which will make it our fourth summer of traveling together since meeting/being roomies on our AbD in July of 2014!

It was also super nice to hear Tracey's perspective on things, since she is going to be our agent for this as well. When we booked the DisCruise to Alaska with her, she made it super easy to split all the details between two people.

This will be my first time cruising DCL and I'm already super excited about it. I'm totally looking forward to experiencing the whole Disney Cruise Line way of travel and finally getting to visit Castaway Cay. I'd be lying if I didn't say Palo and Remy are high on my list of things I'm looking forward to as well. @OKW Lover I definitely spent some time reading, and drooling over, your reviews of both places.

One of my other favorite things is how excited @DisneyKevin gets when he really loves something. His general joy over the experience of having a cabana on Castaway Cay has made me want to get one. Especially since I too burn under fluorescent lights.

I know it's a ways away, but here's hoping you have a most magical experience! I've only done 1 Disney (and only a 3-night Bahamas) and 1 non-Disney cruise......I have to say that because of the split bathroom (and me being a larger person) I did not care for the Disney bathroom at all - I know most people LOVE the split bathroom, but I did not. It made me feel 10 times larger than I am, and like "a bull in a china shop". My experience on another line with a full shower and bathroom was much more comfortable for me, but that's just me.

However, not being a "beach person" during the day at all (love to be out on beach at night!) I ended up loving my day on Castaway Cay, despite feeling it was a bit of a far walk in sun, heat, and humidity, despite the tram. Once I got to Serenity Bay, and settled on my easy-to-be-found lounger and umbrella - which turned out to be very near lunch and beverages, I was one serene person. I think you have an awesome adventure to look forward to! I will say that an Alaska cruise (with whatever line) is definitely ""bucket list" for me!

 

[OKW Lover]

Finally getting around to watching this podcast. All I can say is I WANT TO GO NOW!!!!

Really. And I've got two placeholders to use.

Very useful discussion. Thanks!
