Don't do it! You will NEVER want to go back..........If you do it, you will love it! Just be prepared.

I agree. Our first cruise was in concierge and our second wasn't. Every one since has been in concierge. We won't go back.

"2 minutes" is even pushing it. They are very close and super clean which is awesome.

Well, I was hobbling due to the pain - so my hobble might be like a 3 year old's little short legs making the walk.

Sorry. There's nothing "regular family" about taking 5 Disney Cruises, going to WDW 50+ times, and staying in Concierge with a Cabana. "Regular" people can't afford to do those things with other bills and savings needs that "regular" families have.

Oh I was waiting for that comment, actually I was shocked it took this long.

I am not referring to "everday" in the sense of money and I think I was pretty clear in what I attempted to write. I tried to articulate an honest straightforward review of our experience from a family of 3 to others that may have been in a similar situation and undecided. If we are all being honest, just being on a Disney travel board is a first world problem bud. We are not rich in any stretch of the imagination but really have enjoyed Disney travel for the last 25 years and most recently have fell in love with DCL. We work extremely hard for our money and like to spend our fare share enjoying vacations with family and friends. Take it however you wish...

I'm so enjoying this report!! We don't go until November but will have the one bedroom next to the one you had. My aunt will have the room you had so it's exciting!

I was wondering if your daughter slept on the Murphy bed or the couch. My 19 yo son will be with us and he's undecided as to which bed he will want.

Just want to thank you for the report and great insights! We are sailing on our first concierge cruise in September and your feedback has helped tremendously.

Thank You!

So in keeping with my candid review, I will tell you I snore like a gorilla so its very important for us to have a bigger room with multiple beds and the ability to close off the bedroom for my poor wife. With that being said, I normally ended up in the pullout bed for two reasons, its bigger than the murphy bed and it has a nice big screen tv. I am 6'6" and 275 (sasquatch size!) My daughter was in the murphy, its pretty compact.

I am glad you liked the review!

we all snore too but have grown used to it. I couldn't tell if there was a curtain to separate the sofa bed or the Murphy. We are early risers and want to utilize the table and verandah for coffee without disturbing Ds from his beauty rest! I can't wait for November!!!

if you can get the bump out room, the verandah was amazing. We are kind of bummed it wasnt available for October. A ton of space and you can fit a lounge chair

We're in a partial bumpout, 12506, for our next cruise and are looking forward to it.

Was JP still on as the bartender in concierge?

On our May 6th Ludo was the bartender and it was Danny's first day back (YAY) after a 7 week vacation.

Actually, Danny was back for the May 2 cruise. We had Ludo as well and very much enjoyed him.

We sailed and will sail (most likely forever) inside stateroom so for us to upgrade to concierge would mean winning the lottery, but from your photos I'd say it's worth it if you've got the funds. Very beautiful and I'm glad you had such a great trip.
