Sold out quickly does not necessarily mean that they stay that way. Especially with new or special cruises, many people will pay the opening day deposit but re-think the situation before the penalty date. Don't give up on booking a cruise till well after the penalty date![/quote

 

 

 

Yes we got a wonderful rate on a Panama Canal trip a few years ago like that.

I am surprised to hear this, given how popular most of DCL's cruises are nowadays regardless of itineraries.

I agree. It sure seems that all the ones I want on are sold quickly!! This news came from cast member friends of mine.

From what I understand, Disney had a hard time filling the ship on the trip to Hawaii and offered the trip to cast members to fill the ship.

good idea - and leaving it there helps others and you as you have a bit more room in the suitcase on the way home!!

We always bring little liquid soap pods. I double bag them in ziplock baggies and put them in the middle of the suitcase. We have never had a problem. 10 or so of them take so much less room than powder and are cheaper than the on ship dispensers. Each to his own.

Hello all,

My wife and three kids (ages 13,12 & 9) are planning on taking a cruise sometime next year. We are currently debating between a 4 night Disney Dream Bahamas cruise OR a 7 night Caribbean Harmony of the Seas cruise. What are your thoughts?

I would choose Disney over RCL in a heartbeat, but would choose 7 days over 4 so wow what a choice you have.

I always put a kleenex between the magnet and the wall so that it does not scratch the wall. You will need a strong magnet with a hook to hold the stocking. I get mine from Amazon.

What is the discount if you were in the military and have a DD214? Thanks

Thank you for all of your comments and suggestions. I appreciate them. Thank you also with your comparisons with Disney as those are the menus that I have tried.

Thank you everyone for the advice and help. Also thanks Ethelfleda for your input. You all have been very helpful.

Thank you golfpppc. That is helpful with the comparison to the Disney meals. Also thanks for your information on the Mongolian Grill.

Thank you so much Paul65. I appreciate your help and information.

We enjoy all types of food and are not picky eaters. I had heard that people were not eating as much in the MDR but in the specialty restaurants due to the food not being good. Have you heard this and is it factual? Thanks

We are jumping ship from Disney due to high prices. We are cruising on the Liberty soon. This will be our first cruise on RCCL. After reading through some posts, it seems that the food on the Liberty is not very good. Is that your impression? Can you give me advice on the food and the restaurants? Thanks !

What time should you arrive to board close to 11:00? Thanks

Does that mean that we arrived until 11:00?

We are going on the EBTA in August. By that time we will be platinum. After that cruise we will be jumping ship to a Princess with a land and cruise for 16 days in a suite that is $3000 cheaper that the Disney around the British Isles this summer was on opening day. We also had a veranda room on deck five ( Wonder out of Galveston) that we are switching for a Grand Suite on the Liberty of the Seas for $2000 cheaper -same itinerary and time of year. We love Disney but can't justify the cost.

Thank you for the link,

Thank you, this was the most comprehensive comparison I have ever read.

That is our favorite location on the ship. The room is so quiet as the spa is above. When we are on deck 8 we always get a room forward of the elevator. You will love it!

I had to use the medical care on the ship and was very satisfied. They were kind and helpful. It was expensive but I did have the insurance through Disney. When back home they refunded 100%.

Thank you so much for the information. We booked one of the window suites but worried about the noise. I appreciate the advice.

Can someone tell me how loud the Fiesta Deck ocean view suites are? Do you hear noise from above and below decks? Also if you were in one, what were the pros and cons? Thanks so much

Are you going on the Panama Canal cruise?

They are all on the site now.
