First time DCL cruisers here. First time cruisers on any line, actually. We're a family of four (mom, dad, DD's (10 and 7)) scheduled to take the 4-night Disney Dream cruise out of Port Canaveral on 3/28. We were originally confirmed for a March 2020 cruise on the same ship/itinerary...for which I researched extensively and felt well prepared with activity/dining reservations, excursion planning, etc. This (twice) rescheduled cruise came together somewhat last minute and it seems enough has (understandably) changed that I feel a bit lost. Hoping someone can put my mind at ease....
I'm particularly curious, given the modified OC/OL policies, how easily people are currently able to make/modify kids club reservations that align with adult-only activities/dining once on the ship? Of the few kids club reservations available at the time our booking, none aligned with the same for Palo/Remy/Spa/tastings, etc. I.E. I booked First-night dinner at Palo, but all OC/OL reservations appear sold out for that first day. Is there a chance I'll still be able to get the kids into the kids clubs mere hours after stepping on board (and incidentally well past the cancellation window for that first Palo reservation...)? Is there a better approach for reasonably distracting 10- and 7-year-old girls on the ship while mom and dad escape for an hour or two here and there? They're about as responsible as they come for that age but we of course we want to be sensible...
