We got off on Saturday (SWDAS Eastern) and had ERAERRA.

You could easily do Dover Castle on the morning, especially if the hotel will hold your bags (not normally a problem with UK hotels). If they can't hold your bags, just get to port around 10:30, drop your bags off then grab a cab up to the castle with your carry on. I wouldn't personally...

Like Gilsan, I was in a group for an upcoming cruise that she was admin for. Jeez, she and her little admin friend are controlling. A new group started up as they wouldn't allow anyone to organise activities without their say so - madness! The other group is so much fun, relaxed and friendly...

I would do it, but then I love the smaller ships! Whichever one you choose, you'll have a great time I'm sure. What itinerary are you looking at for the Wonder, longer than 4 nights?

My apologies, someone earlier asked about getting back to Heathrow. When you get to St Pancras, if Kings Cross is on your right, enter the glass doors and immediately turn right towards Marks and Spencer. Go up the escalators opposite M&S, that's where Southeastern are (there are multiple train...

If it was one train all the way through to Heathrow, no bother. But it wouldn't be .. You need to go on the Tube (subway) to move across London and that's not easy with luggage. If you're going from St Pancras on the 'high' speed, just get a cab from Folkestone to the cruise terminal. On the...

Your Southeastern ticket is valid all the way to Dover, whether it's by train or replacement bus service. Your ticket is valid on ANY train doing that journey after a certain time normally, although a weekend should be all times. I would get a cab from Folkestone though, unless you are not in a...

My sister is on the Fjords cruise on 29 May and lives near Dover. She is advising people NOT to book the high speed train as it has a bus replacement service which is a pain in the backside at best! Just go from London Victoria, it really doesn't take that much longer .. We're not talking...

Ive not seen any areas for napping children in Oceaneers or Lab. It's open spaces and can get very loud! In the nursery, there are though.

Hi there! We're just about to book this along with the Alaskan one straight afterwards ..a great back to back. San Fran and Alaska have always been on our bucket list so we get to do both in one go to save on 2 lots of transatlantic flights. We're from England and this cruise will be number...

The CD is now Natalie from England. Asst CD is Mike, also from England. In Falmouth, we did the zip lining with CHUKKA .. amazing. Great bunch of guys, very funny, very safety conscious but the trip in the truck up the hill/mountain was pretty hard going on the bum! Booked through DCL, it was...

We don't hide it, we just give our stateroom host some money and let them know we love the products. We always get lots given to us. I give some to friends who are not fortunate enough to cruise with DCL, but most I keep and use myself. On our cruise last week, we upgraded to concierge and got...

Just off the Fantasy and we got the burlap bag with a large photo album inside. Same gift as we got in Jan on the Dream (platinum for both). We gave it to someone who had not cruised before instead of just leaving it in the room.

We went to Palo last week and was disappointed to see a woman in Crocs (the horrible clog type ones) and the guy in trainers (sneakers). Only one person was in jeans and although I'm not keen on DCL charging for the perceived 'nicer' restaurant now they allow jeans, the person in jeans didn't...

We just stayed in 11008 on the Fantasy, upgraded at the port from a Cat 5 to a 1 bed concierge. Very nice too! Hosts were Kamesha, Amanda and Tawanda. Stateroom hosts were Ronald and assistant Bismarc. We struggled to know how much to tip as I know lots of others do too, so I'll tell you that...

But people will ... we will. Why do you think, just because you don't want to pay it, that nobody else will? Every time there is a release of itineraries, we hear the same thing ... DCL priced me out, DCL is too much, I'm off to *insert other cruise line*. For every person who doesn't book...

Yep, there's always people willing and able to pay. I'm not sure why anyone ever thinks there won't be people willing and able to pay. We are not rich by any stretch of the imagination, but we choose to sail with DCL as it's a product we like. We will pay the price, it doesn't make us stupid...

If you want to check in together, then yes, swap people (on paper) in the cabins. Some people report that they all check in together anyway, but I wouldn't rely on this personally. If you want to book Palo for all of you, you'd be better off swapping too. Once you get on board, ask for an...

You are asking for something they don't 'deserve' (or are not entitled to). You're potentially taking spaces on the DCL excursions that Platinum members have the right to book first. It's one of the very few perks that Platinum members get, so I'm not sure why everyone else be allowed to have...
