We have never cruised and are contemplating doing a Disney cruise in November. It would just be DH & myself.
I have not done a ton of research yet, however, have plugged in the info as to when we'd want to go into the Disney Cruise website. I'm interested in a 7-day so our option would be the Disney Fantasy to the Caribbean.
My questions so far:
--Is it best to book through a TA or right through Disney?
--It looks like Disney adds the vacation insurance, which is optional. Is this recommended? Even if we booked through a TA is it good to get the insurance?
--DH is not convinced he wants to do a 7-day, however, I think I would feel too rushed with a 4-day. He is afraid there won't be enough adult activities. Any thoughts on that?
--If we're taking a cruise I feel I would want to get a room with a full verandah - no whitewall. Any thoughts on this?
--I was reading a few of the other threads. I thought I read that you can take alcohol on board. Is that correct?
--What kind of excursions do they offer & what would you recommend for 2 adults? I am fine with a beach chair & a good book, but would also like to try some different things that may be offered.
--Dumb question, but are the pools salt water or fresh water?
--What is the normal amount of deposit?
--How far in advance should it be booked? We're at 11 months out now.
Any info is appreciated. I've been "saving my pennies" & would really like to take the plunge & do a cruise.
