What Is One Thing You Would Change About DCL?

Since it’s been mentioned the allergy thing sucks. This is my first cruise with severe allergies and quite frankly it’s been awful-

Mine is having quality events in the AM. Not everyone likes/can stay up till midnight especially on shorter cruises where you can’t really reset your natural schedule so we are allll wide awake at 6 am and ready to go but options are non existent. We’d love some pool time or characters or a good movie

I was thinking more in Europe, South America, Hawaii, but yeah Caribbean too. It seems like they have enough ships now, but yet they are putting two in Alaska. I think they do what makes them money and that's the short Bahamas cruises that families can afford.

They seem to be having trouble selling the Europe cruises. It could be a combination of price and stale itinerary, but what do I know I'm just the consumer that's not interested in consuming any of their cruises right now.

Makes sense, everywhere needs improvement, more variety, more port days. Bermuda cruises would be great, and New England / Canadian Maritime ports. I was thinking especially Caribbean because if we go to most anywhere else, we're doing a land based vacation and not a cruise. And, more 7-10 day Caribbean itineraries too, I'm not going through the hassle of getting to port, embarking, and debarking for 3-4 nights.

Wish they would leave out of NYC again!!!

Count number of nights instead of number of cruises for status.

I hate that a 2 week cruise counts for one and so days a 3 night one.

More TRIVIA!! (Just kidding). I would like a bit more variety in onboard activities.

More DOMESTIC 7 nights or longer for the FIRST FOUR SHIPS!

Honorable mention bring back the dinner buffet option.

My husband has a severe shellfish allergy and cross contamination is very dangerous for him. DCL actually does an amazing job of making sure his food is safe. It takes a little bit of extra time to order but it is worth it for us. If he has a reaction, it is life threatening. It is one of the few places that we have found that accomodates him properly.

If you are traveling with allergies, you can actually select your dinner the night before with your serve team to save time.

This for allergies - especially the more common ones. It may be different if you have something outside the more common allergies.

They even have separate allergy menus for the dining rooms' evening menus - at least on the Wish and Treasure - again, covering the major ones.

I've never found it bothersome to order the night before for dinner - and I've never had to pre-order for the next day's breakfast and lunch. I ask for a manager at Cabanas and they'll ask what I want and get a plate made up in the back. Mine are gluten and peanuts, so I don't bother with pre-ordering for Castaway since I can easily leave off the bun, etc.

I've definitely found Disney better than Royal (heck...they had an orzo dish listed as gluten-free and my servers tried to argue with me that orzo didn't contain gluten) and slightly better than Celebrity (Celebrity's been ok...other than their pancakes. Those were sad and disguting.)
