Just off the Dream - tale of two chairs and two small rants...

[sevenofeleven]

We had a great time - we loved our cruise - the staff and food were excellent.

Just a rant about veranda chairs. We assume that because of high winds, they have to be heavy enough to prevent tipping or blowing away. But why did the veranda people above us - below us - to our left - and to our right - choose the DRAG THEIR CHAIRS across the veranda floor whenever they stepped outside - at all hours ? The screeching noise is like fingernails on chalkboard.

Just trying to admire the ocean or read a book - and we hear the screeching both day and night. DCL asks that the veranda doors be closed for environmental purposes - but most people left them open - with the AC on - and we heard their tv's and endless conversations.

The other chair pertains to the deck chair hogs - they are still out there and the staff still tries to shoo them off deck - but we had to stand for more than one movie or pool day. Oh well - a chair is just a chair - even when there is no one sitting there..... but a chair is not a house - and a - you know the rest...

And the second - third - and even fourth day - the unexpected - Pool pooping by kids prompted closure on three occasions. Oh well - Look out for number one - don't step in # 2 either....

Thanks to Disney staff and GREAT WEATHER and a great experience....

Can sympathize with you regarding the verandah chairs. Being veterans, we are well aware of the noise they make when moved. First timers may not be.
Next time try speaking with the room steward to pass the word along to the others.

No matter how much it's talked and written about, there probably will always be folks who save chairs on the decks and at Castaway.
Next time try to get there earlier in the day to grab a chair.

Sorry about your experiences at the kid's pools. I've seen them have to close as well. Certainly doesn't make one feel comfortable to allow kids in there.
Next time try giving the youngsters an extra special time at Castaway or whatever other beach you visit instead.

Pool #2 is not always the reason for closing the pools. It's also tummy stuff. Kids in the pool.. Motion of the ocean.. Lots more junk food than usual.

I was surprised at how well I could hear conversations from my neighboring verandas-made me remind DH several times to be careful what he said!
