Ok, after being on these boards for some time, this is the take I tend to get sometimes.
** What do you mean, I cannot fly down on the day of-day before-two hours before? I don't want to take the time to create my own package but I'll spend three week on the phone to "Discount Airlines" trying to get a flight a exactally the time i want and for only $59 per person!
**Ground transportation? You mean DCL didn't havethe foresight to build the port right at the airline terminal?
**I can't find a certain size-flavor-color of snacks-beer-wine-soda-candy on the way to the terminal!! (You mean there is food already on board?)
**OMG! We have to park across the stree and pay 2 weeks wages for the privilage!
**Will I just curl up and die if I don't make a reservation for Palos?
**Check in took, like 20 minutes! What's the holdup? You'd think we are going to another country! And there's not enough to do in the terminal for that 20 minutes! DCL should have a full blown Broadway musical going on. My kids had three fights, two broken game boys and one up-chuck by the time we got on board.
**Kids club, massages, spa, movies, shows, games, mealtimes, lectures, ports-of-call....we've got to get them ALL in so we can have a nice relaxing vacation!
**What do you mean there are only 3 reataurants, Plutos, Pinnochios, ESPN snack, bufets, scoops and room service? I thought you said there was food on board? I only ordered six appetizers, three entres, and four desserts at dinner. After picking it all over, I decided to leave it anyway and have peanut butter and jelly in my room.
**Speaking of rooms, I can't understand why every room doesn't have a veranda. I mean, it's a big ship! Why not just cut a hole in every room to make one? (and just what IS an inside room, anyway? Inside what?)
**OMG! Nassau was so dissapointing! This is not the Bahamas they show on the TV commercials! If I wanted to see poverty, I'd have gone to a "poor" country? Whay doesn't DCL pay these people more?
** Cast-a-way Cay was so hot! DCL should warn people that it gets hot in the tropics in August. And nobody warned us that the water would be salty, either. The free unlimited food was good...only threw out five orders of chicken and poured out six quarts of punch.
** Another thing that DCL should warn people about is that the ship feels like it's moving! And who ordered that storm and high waves like that? I almost couldn't sleep through it. DCL should know better. There should be calm waters if there is first time cruisers on board.
**We finally got off the ship. Took 10 minutes! Whew what a wait! But first they confinscated my souvineer coconuts, bannanas, and box of food taken from the buffet. If they were going to enforce the rules, they should say so.
** And in the end, all I got was sunburned, headlice, sea lice, gained 50 pounds, spent three years wages on photos from shutters jsut like theones in my camera, sea sick, exausted, and a credit card bill the size of the national debit.
So tell, me, does ANYONE have a truly terrific time?

. We loved the cruise, have been with other cruise lines, will travel with other cruise lines but will return to Disney for family vacations. Stop, take a deep breath and be realistic.
