impress your significant other and add a little romance to your cruise? The "Romantic Escape at Sea" add-on provides you with a lot of wonderful extras for $339 per couple. It's available on any 3-, 4- or 7-night Disney Cruise, and as of 2005, also on Land & Sea packages.

For the extra fee, you get:

Romantic gift amenity delivered to your stateroom (one per package: you get the Romance Basket that includes photo album, champagne and chocolates)
Couples massage at the Vista Spa & Salon (you can choose the Well-Being Massage for two, or the Spa Taster for two* - does not include gratuity)
Reservations at Palo for one dinner (package covers the usual nominal per-person fee)
Romance turndown service (one night)
Champagne breakfast in bed (one morning - this is a full breakfast, from a much more extensive menu than you usually get from the ship's standard continental breakfast room service)
*Unofficially, DCL has also allowed one person to get two treatments, choosing from the Well-Being Massage and/or the Spa Taster. I can confirm that passengers were allowed to do this in May 2005. You book the couples massage in advance and then go to the spa when onboard and change it to two separate massages.

An unadvertised aspect of this add-on is that you get to pre-book your Palo reservation and spa service 105 days in advance of your cruise (the same time frame as passengers staying in suites!), as long as you've paid for your cruise in full. At that time, if you are taking a 7-day cruise, you may also choose to pre-book the Palo brunch and/or "high tea" if you wish, for the usual nominal per-person fee. (In other words, extra Palo reservations aren't included in the package, but you can book them in advance.) You can book extra spa appointments as well, though of course they are not included in the package.

The value of the items you receive is approximately $64 for the gift, $242 for the couples massage, and $20 for the Palo fee (total $326), plus the additional value of the upgraded room service breakfast, and the wonderful luxury of pre-booking everything early and being pampered with the romance turndown service!

Thanks so much for your quick reply! Now can I book this package even if
I'm in a room with my kids?

Thank you so much for this info - will you be getting a percentage off the top number of bookings you just helped sell?

Seriously, this info explained more to me than I've ever seen, and now I understand... now I will be booking! Maybe I had my head buried in the sand, but now I get it.

Thanks for your time in spelling all this out!

You are welcome, and yes you can...

I only copied this, it explains well..

Not to sound stupid, but how do you book this? I went to the web page and tried many ways to find it and add it to my reservation. I had no luck - and since you want to book your Palo reservation 105 days out, I assume you don't want to wait until you pay in full, which is 90 days out. Or do you have pay in full before you can book REAS?

Yes, you must pay in full..

You can book it at anytime just call DCL or your TA and they can book it for you. Also you do have to be paid in full before the 105 day mark to make the ressies online for everything. We did this for our first DCL cruise coming up in sept. It's a good thing b/c some first time cruisers on our cruise didnt' get palo dinner or brunch at 75 days out. They have to try once boarding for these.

Okay, I'm a little confused...normally the booking time for Castaway Club members is 90 days...so are you saying that you can book 105 days out if you booked the REAS? Just not sure as to when I can book since I did do the REAS, and I am a CC member!

You got it, when you book the REAS, the incentive now is the booking at 105 days out like concierge...
