Just home from our "Magical " cruise. We had a wonderful time from start to finish. No troubles at all. We sailed with 3 households (related through me) with 4 cabins. We had the adjoining secret porthole rooms 5522 & 5524. Definately 5522 had the better view as it was not really obstructed but did have a 'landing' of a sort. If you're looking for a price break but want light in your cabin - book this one. DH didn't have trouble sleeping at all so when I asked him if he noticed sounds from across the hall he did not. Be aware there is a door across from 5522 which opens up to where they load/unload the luggage and the Hostess/Host get their things from. You do spend enough time in your cabin to need to be comfortable. I honestly loved this cabin but some might be very critical of it.
Our servers were top notch. Gonzalo, Roger & Carmen made our dining experience above excellent. SIL has Celiac Disease and cannot eat wheat or gluten products. Little did we know she refuses to eat chicken, fish, steak, etc. They had their work cut out for them. They did great because they cooked her pasta every nite with fresh rolls - wheat free, gluten free! Needless to say, we tipped over the required amount.
Of our traveling party we saw all the shows, except for Morty the Magnificent. They were great. The ventriliquist acts were hysterical. FIL had tears in his eyes many times.
Host was Livingstone. So shy and polite but did a great job with the animals. He always smiled!
This time I brought my TUMS and I only had to use them once. I will miss waking up to the buffet - I will miss the cheese danish. I had the same thing everyday and was sad to get off the ship today. Portions are excellent - pleasantly filled with classy-arranged plates. Desserts were great - can't pick a favorite.
This is probably the trip report because it's so hard to write anything down and make sense of it. To everyone counting down - whether or not it's your first or 15th - have a great time. Do us a favor though - treat others as you would like to be treated. I think people expect more than they deserve - DCL provides FAR above but I felt sometimes that even people traveling in our party thought they deserved more. I give credit to the cast/crew members. They were so pleasant even when faced with the most difficult situations. Pictures & Food were biggies.
