If possible, please provide scans to Scott at disneycruiselineblog.com for everyone to enjoy.i will try and keep my navigators and menus from the adjusted as an FYI.
For how many days extra is a ship provisioned? Has anyone been on a cruise that spent extra days beyond your normal itinerary? Just curious how they handle Navigators, dining rotation, menu, etc.
Wow, I'm sorry your husband isn't interested in the cruise. I hope he changes his mind and has a great time. There are many reasons I enjoy DCL cruises. I work in the transportation industry and I love watching the operations of the ship. Entering and leaving the ports are my favorite parts. That I would be interested in the operations of the ship never occured to me before I took my first cruise. Perhaps there is some aspect of the ship operations that would interest your husband.Thank you! I think I am going to go with my daughter even if my husband decides to stay home!

Hi - greetings from the UK! I'm new to the board but due to sail on the Dream on 17th Oct.
Firstly I'm so sorry to those of you affected by the 10/7 cancellation.
Are there any other friendly faces due to be on the 10/17 sailing? I'm praying that everything will be settled down by then. I'm not too fussed by port changes, just grateful for a safe holiday!
Anyway, please do give me a wave. And thanks again to the forum for so much helpful information.
If it is that bad, they will move ports...Fort Lauderdale/Miami.they're predicting matthew will increase to a category 4 before hitting florida...
if that happens, it doesn't seem likely that PC will be ready for ships on saturday...
or maybe they're really good at cleaning up a big mess fast?
Thanks for the link disneyholicfamily! Shall post there too for more date-related discussions but also keep an eye here for any weather/sailing updates. Predictions of a hurricane loop-back sound worrying, but as a Brit my knowledge on these things is fairly useless!
A couple wonderings.
- people who are on the cancelled Friday Dream and are spending a few pre-days at WDW will need to extend lodging stays until their Monday flight (this is a typical scenario). That could be tricky, but might be balanced by people staying and people cancelling.
- also, for many people on next Monday's Dream, or even this Saturday's Fantasy, they will be flying in early even for an overnight or a couple days at WDW. But will their flights even be departing? What do you do if your flight is cancelled but the cruise isn't?...
even the experts don't know what's going to happen.....are you already in the states?
Thank you! I think I am going to go with my daughter even if my husband decides to stay home!
Thank you so much! This is excellent adviceI did a Canada cruise (NCL) a few years back and it was wonderful! Peggy's Cove is idyllic, Halifax is very interesting with some very cool history - the Miqmaq curse and (might be in poor taste, but there were cemeteries with graves from the Titanic), St. John's is gorgeous, AND it's peak leaf season! I would kill to be on the Magic for that!! If he likes history, there is TONS to learn - and if it's just you girls, you'll have so much fun - I never wanted to leave Peggy's Cove.

Thanks!
- Has anyone taken a cruise with this Canadian itinerary in October? Just curious if the pools will be open and/or if it will be too cold for my 8 year old daughter to swim (trying to figure out if I still need to pack bathing suits - of course I can always buy them on board if needed )
As long as there is no fog, or storms, the pools should be open! (Fog closed the Goofy Pool on the Wonder as the fog horn is blowing right there, so it's too loud to use the pool.) The pools are heated to keep the water temp at least 75F. I went into the Goofy pool on the Wonder in Alaska with DD12. Water was really warm, like a bathtub. I knew it would feel really cold getting out, so I had us go straight into a hot tub, spent 15 minutes in there, and then felt fine when we got out as our bodies were overheated.Updates:
Question:
- Just called DCL customer service and they were unable to help with upgrades because I booked using my DVC points, sigh, so now I have to call DVC member services at 9:00.
- At this time Canadian port adventures can only be booked on ship at their desk on deck 3. So that is where I will be running to as soon as we board.
- My husband decided that he will go with us on the cruise, which is nice since our 11th anniversary is on 10/9 and we have a dinner reservation scheduled for Palo that night.
Thanks!

I can only report what the crew has told me. They knew it was going to be really bad. They were warned. On our Iceland cruise the captain told us exactly when it was going to get bad and exactly when it was going to end, and he was exactly right. They know when it's less then 24 hours or so. They have really good radar systems on the ships. They wanted to get back to port for the next cruise. It may have ended up being worse then they expected, same goes for Anthem. I'm sure RCCL is being a lot more careful with storms, and it seems DCL is doing the same.
