Thanks for the clarification. I stand by my statement though that Disney is not doing enough in this department. They should extend the date to book a placeholder, just like airlines are doing by extending benefits for their most frequent travelers by holding status for longer rather than...

One of my favorite topics. Disney loyalty program is terrible. Quite possibly the worst for passengers of any loyalty program. 1) The program pits new customers against loyal customers for booking some of the best experiences, from itineraries and shore excursions to onboard activities...

It seems that Disney is the least flexible of all the lines when it comes to the rebooking rules. I would think they would extend the deadlines, but they are not. I assume it's mostly because a lot of people are just shifting their dates and I've read that total bookings are actually up. They...

Seems like a good bet that our 4 night Dream cruise in March will be OK. Worst case they may restrict it to Castaway Cay only, but that would be just fine with me. I've heard that some lines are cancelling sea days as they want time for passengers to be off while the sanitize the ship, so...

Perhaps it is longer cruises, but it didn't for us. We had a 4 night and it was the old show without the drawings. Don't know why they would have cut that out if they had the ability. We did find out that there are several things that are different with the shorter sailings we didn't count...

Best bet is to keep calling back. Perhaps for now just book rooms next to each other or across the hall for now and then keep calling periodically to get a change. Go up the chain if you have to. I find that sometimes the people you talk to just don't have the authority but if you get a...

Love the Wonder. Sailed the Magic for the first time in January. The post above does a great of of explaining the differences, but I'll add a few personal comments. 1) The Wonder has a more current version of the Animators Palate show which includes the animations of the drawings. The Magic...

We have and are planning on it again. There are many things that make cruising Disney as an adult a wonderful experience, but that's if you are a Disney fan. Otherwise, I suggest trying another line. Many choose Disney because of the kids clubs and that's a good reason. However, if you do...

We were forced to get passports for our Alaska cruise on DCL a few years ago because the cruise was departing from Vancouver and we were flying in. We thought that it would be a good idea to have them anyway. Three of the seven of us needed them again but the other four never needed them...

We used to have a Johnny Rockets near where we lived, until we moved. We'll have to go at least once. I didn't think about the breakfast option. I assume there is still the standard cover charge for breakfast.

Super helpful information. Thanks very much. We will start making show reservations soon. Bought the drink package today when the price dropped to $49 per person per day. That's only four drinks to break even (well actually five after tax and gratuity).

Wife and I just booked Harmony Eastern out of Port Canaveral for late August of this year. We've sailed Royal before, but it's been awhile and we've never been on these really big ships. A couple of questions: - We are on Deck 9, Aft Oceanview balcony. It's quite a far back, so we don't...

I'm a little late to the party on this thread, but will wade on in anyway. What I've found is that if you really shop around on DCL and are willing to sail less popular or off season, you can find reasonable prices. We have done so a number of times. I don't expect DCL to be the same price...

Perhaps, but I don't think it's only 1%. Carnival has an identity crisis because they do things like what we experienced. We were not even able to board on time because they couldn't get the passengers on board to wake up and get off the ship. There is no warning for embarking passengers, but...

OK ... to be fair ... as I mentioned, I used to be one of those people who stated that (and I had sailed with Carnival). My reasons why were legitimate, but also based on a false premise that the Carnival Cruise I experienced was typical of all Carnival cruises. Wife and I sailed on a 4 day...

I used to be in the "you couldn't pay me to cruise Carnival again" camp. I finally got over it and have not regretted it. Carnival has worked hard to improve their product without substantially increasing their price. They have found a way to appeal to a broad audience of vacationers and are...

Are you sure you are pricing for two adults? Maybe it's the date? I know the late August dates are cheaper and that's what I booked. Below is a screen shot of my booking price. Deck 9, category 8D, Ocean View Balcony. Not sure how you are seeing double that price. I'm also noting the...

It's also very easy to just book on the Costco Travel site. Costco also offers additional excursions not available through DCL.

The world is not about a set of binary choices. It's not always about right vs. wrong. I was not suggesting that the ship should have waited. With thousands of passengers on board and only six that missed the message, it seems clear the cruise line did communicate properly. However...

We pulled the trigger late yesterday. Costco travel. Super excited!! I don't know what you did to price things out, but I did have the correct price as that's what I am actually paying for the Harmony of the Seas. Party of 2 adults, August of 2019, Aft Cabin, Deck 9. You may see a higher...
