The app was super glitchy on our last cruise (March 2019). My son had been requesting pick up and neither myself nor my husband got notice on the app (we were doing our own thing and weren't together and didn't have the wave phones). It was only when I returned to the room that the wave phone...

I think its totally dependent on your neighbours. we've had a far aft room on deck 9, a room across from the elevators on deck 6, a room under the bars on deck 2 (magic) and a room in the hall near the kids club on deck 5 and elevators. All were fine. It was more the screaming kids next door...

Yep. Canadian carriers charge about $7 per day. Depends on the carrier and your plan if it's already included or not. We were with Rogers on our last trip and we didn't have to notify them when crossing into the US. We would just get a text that said "welcome to the U.S. you are now roaming...

Not knowing the port area, and just reading some reports, being picked up inside the gates does make me feel better. Thanks for your review!

Has anyone ever used the company resort for a day for port excursions? The exact same resort excursion in Jamaica through DCL or this company is $200 less! I know going through DCL if anything was to happen they would hold the ship. But is that worth $200 extra? 🤪

What are your best booking and saving tips? packages? no dining plan? canadian deals? Let's hear em!

on the first day there is an open house where you can go in with them. You could help them get accustomed to the business of the club then. If I remember right there is also some pre-school programming for the younger kids too.

We've taken private transport and the DCL bus. I much prefer the bus given that they take your bags and the next time you see them is your stateroom. With private transport you get dropped at the curb and you have to get a porter to take your bags (tip them too) and then start the boarding...

disneycruiselineblog.com has past navigators.

I work for a public school board. Calendars have to be approved by the board itself and then the ministry I believe. That said, in previous years my board has had a PD day before labour day for staff to come in in order to meet the 194 required days. Students have always started after labour...

oh bummer. we're sailing in August. I like the terminal with how disneyfied it is. Makes you feel like you're already on the ship.

I'm an organizer/packer. I pack for myself and the two kids. I lay the suitcases out about a month before. :P Two large hardside suitcases. Everyone gets a "section". Hubby's stays empty until a day or two before. lol. I start tossing things in as we go. Like, if I do laundry and see...

Both ships are basically identical in layout. The bars in the adult area are differently themed and named. The Fantasy has the extra splash zone behind the funnel, Dream does not. We prefer the Fantasy. Not sure exactly why.

It's Disney Magic. Don't question it. ;) I don't think they ever sleep. Cause we always see ours first thing in the morning and at dinner time. We usually use the "room occupied" sign on our door when we are in the room. But we always greet our room attendant as well. We come back from...

My son wears his. He enjoys trading with CM around the ship throughout the day.

We also used Jiffy Jeff. They were great.

Flights into FLL were way cheaper for us that MIA. We flew into FLL, stayed at the holiday inn near the airport and used private transport the next day to the cruise terminal. That said, I detested the FLL airport. Like, I would pay extra to NOT fly into it again. Over crowded, no seating...

Fantasy 9674-The Tube

We have stayed in 5652 on the Dream (side room extended balcony) and 9674 on the dream (aft extended balcony). We love the balconies! I wouldn't book the aft one again simply because we felt way more of the ship's motion and my son got seasick (he wasn't seasick in other rooms we've had in...

There is very little to do in the terminal. And very little seating. We had the first PAT on our first cruise, arrived at 10:30 (that was our PAT) and still waited in a jam packed terminal for boarding to begin around 11:30 with two tired and hungry kids. NEVER again. Our last 3 cruises...
