1. Our wonderful server Rudy, assistant server Bayoki, and head server Nadege. All of them made us & our children feel very special & doted on us for the entire week. They were also personable, which made for a very nice dining experience for us.

2. Our stateroom host Don, who was always there to help open the door for me when I was trying to get both kids away from the pool or the club and down for a nap. He always had a kind word for the children that made them stop their little acting up & smile & be good for me.

3. The sail away party and the horn. That was the begining of the most relaxing vacation we have ever been on..even with a 3 & 5 yo.

4. Mickey and Cinderella. Mickey...well, it was all of our first meetings with the mouse. Cinderella...she remembered my kid's names and called out to them by name whenever we saw her on the ship...which was once or twice a day. She made DD trip & year.

My THREE things
1) The ship! The grandeur, the cleanliness, the beauty, the cheery environment.

2) Variety. I can have fun by myself, with my husband AND with the kids. There is something for everyone.

3) THE attitude of others around me.
This includes the crew AND other passengers. Being around others who are grateful and graceful for their vacation and crew who work SO hard to make my vacation nicer.

Here goes:

The ease of check-in for returning cruisers.

The beauty and grandeur that extends from the terminal to the ship itself.

The amazing staff, especially the servers and children's counselors.

Abundance of food, there is something for everyone- even picky people. I always find something new I love each time and best of all- I'M NOT COOKING!!

The great ship horn!

The adult only areas, especially Palos.

Palos- Brunch, High Tea, Dinner, all awesome. It's my happy place.(Chocolate souffle heaven)

My verandah- coffee in the morning, watching the waves at night.

The Rainforest Room- love those heated tile loungers.

The shows- unreal!

Castaway Cay- the water, the view, and especially THE COOKIE DOUGH SOFT SERVE ICE CREAM!

The ease of debarking- totally painless (except for the sadness of leaving) and quick!

Now, is a DCL cruise inexpensive, No. Are other lines more affordable, yes. Are any other lines going to give you the "Disney" experience and feeling- No.
So while you will spend some money for a DCL cruise, In my honest opinion- the joy I see each member of my family experience is PRICELESS!

I LOVE DCL- 'NUFF SAID.

Melissa: Beautifully put!!! I agree 100%. And as I've told my friends over and over again who try to convince me I can do better -- there is no cruising experience like DCL.

My husband and I were talking last night in fact about ever trying another cruise line. And these were his words exactly "No. I want to stick with Disney until we have done every cruise they have to offer. And then, hopefully, they've have new ports so we can continue." He is not a huge repeat visitor to WDW, but is very devoted to DCL. And I agree totally -- I feel safe, confident and pampered on their ships.
