    Lanyards / key holder changed since March 2023?

    we were b2b on the Magic last week. word in our FB group was that they were running low on the 25anniv tote bags, so platinum sailors received the platinum backpack cooler (that's what we received) in addition to the gold wetbag and the microfiber beach towel.

    Lanyards / key holder changed since March 2023?

    This is a great idea because they SUCK as KTTW holders IMO!

    Why did Disney Destroy the Magic & Wonder?

    Because they needed room for the Christmas and Halloween trees. There's some pretty glass art up in Palo for viewing. Otherwise, I think the Magic looks amazing for a 25+ year old ship.

    Bringing old beer mug

    I sailed on the Magic 1/31/24 and 2/4/24. Used my tokens, no problem. I also took my mug from bar to room and turned it in the next day no problem, so I'm not sure how they would have known the difference had I pulled a mug from my home/luggage. I only saw the classic glass DCL mugs.... I...

    Mediterranean (non DCL) cruises

    i didn't ask specifically. I know that virgin pays nice wages and since tips are included in the passenger fare the staff can count on their pay and not have to depend on the variable tips coming in to send the $$ back home. Good wifi is free to them. I've heard that they are treated pretty...

    Mediterranean (non DCL) cruises

    Once your 16yo turns 18, you can try Virgin. We really like it and it's full of past dcl employees

    Port arrival time was changed? Mystery solved!

    we're on the 9/11 Magic sailing out of Miami and it seems that PAT times were pushed forward 30minutes for everyone including Concierge. Everyone is speculating the reason to be because it's the 1st HOTHS sailing

    Grand Cayman new law?

    good gravy GC is getting a bit full of themselves. This "law" really pisses me off, trying to force me where to spend my drinking money!!! I'm on a DCL sailing that stops there soon. I think I will plan to drink my carry on and platinum gift champagne/prosecco on my verandah that afternoon...

    Finally bit the bullet and booked on Celebrity.

    We've sailed Virgin 3 times, have our whole family booked for our 4th, and are sailing them in Europe for our 5th. We were interested because of Tom and Clayton (anyone remember him ad CD from DCL?). VV die hards will never admit it, but tons of stuff on VV screams DCL to hubby and me... it's...

    Almost platinum and my husband's family sets up a MSC in 5 weeks. Any MSC people?

    We sailed the Meriviglia 3 weeks ago. MSC matched us diamond/black with our DCL platinum status match. That and the price of the MSC were the factors that made me want to try it. We had a fun 3 day cruise, as we would have stayed home if not for this cheap opportunity ($1200 for 3 in a...

    Current Cruise Staffs (all ships)

    Dec 2022, Tisa heads up the shows in the After hours area, she is as great as always. So awesome. We did see Tony from Spain, and he is in a new role and did not appear as often to us as guest facing. He dresses in whites, so I guess he is an officer and manages the entertainment staff. He...

    Anyone heard about return of Platinum no PAT benefit returning?

    This was the reply that I received. The previous response that I received said something like "we're deciding when we can bring it back....."... this time no reference to that..... I also agree that it seems that Platinum will not be getting that perk back. I would also be happy if I could...

    B2B (Side to Side?) Ft. Lauderdale to Port Canaveral

    I did a side by side for the 1st time last month and loved traveling/packing once and cruising twice! IMO you need a day plus a rental car or pricey private driver to get to Port Canaveral from Lauderdale. We had a day in Miami and we were glad that we had the rest day before reboarding for...

    Anyone sailed the Magic recently? Is Tisa doing adult programing or Tony from Spain, or both?

    Anyone heard about return of Platinum no PAT benefit returning?

    Thanks for the email address. I just sent them a 2nd email, and this time I included the extra info that my "new" cruise line, with whom I have cruised 3x this past year, gives me boarding group 1 as part of my "status" with them and I hoped that DCL would also resume perks to its loyal...
