    September 18th, 2022: 12-Night Westbound Transatlantic from Dover to NY (Le Havre, Plymouth, Vigo, King’s Wharf)

    I called the Castaway Club phone number yesterday about this issue (only 18 min. wait). The woman who answered did not know the answer, so she checked with two of her supervisors. After a 15 min. wait, they could not confirm that we needed the Travel Authorization to board the Magic in Dover...

    September 18th, 2022: 12-Night Westbound Transatlantic from Dover to NY (Le Havre, Plymouth, Vigo, King’s Wharf)

    We live in Portland, OR and heard months ago that British Airways was going to be starting non-stop flights from here to Heathrow this July. Well, we usually fly Alaska and BA is one of their partners. Checked with Alaska and, bingo, we booked BA for our Sept. flight. Funny thing is, if you...

    Is Anyone getting through to DCL on phone !

    Called the CClub phone number at 8:30 yesterday morning and it was busy or no signal. Tried the number a DCL agent gave us months ago with an exchange number...he was "out" but was told the call was being transferred to another agent. Only, Only a two hour wait! Might help you out if you have...

    First Alaska cruise. Best stateroom choices?

    Five years ago we did this cruise and had a verandah forward, port side, on the 7th deck of the Wonder. On glacier day, when the ship stops, then turns from side to side so all verandahs can view the glacier, we walked out on our verandah and, yikes! Our verandah was covered in ashes and the...

    September 18th, 2022: 12-Night Westbound Transatlantic from Dover to NY (Le Havre, Plymouth, Vigo, King’s Wharf)

    Looks like at least three a day...yikes! Attend one quarter of these and you'll never find your stateroom. Great variety!!

    B2B on the Wish?

    When we did our B2B years ago there was a letter from DCL on our bed the night before the switchover day explaining the procedure for the next day, step by step. I would assume they will still do it. Our home base city was Barcelona, after doing the Mediterranean, next was a WBTA to NYC. Now...

    Cruise dates

    In your planning, perhaps you could shorten your Disney World stay and spend a few days in LA and Disneyland. You could route your flights from Australia to Orlando through LA and do a twofer with the mouse. We have done all of Disney World in 7 days...lot of walking and scheduling, but we did...

    Will there be another DCL WBPC? (or EBPC)

    DCL might change from San Diego to LA, where Disneyland is close.

    Will there be another DCL WBPC? (or EBPC)

    Our first DCL cruise was on the Magic (yes, Magic) on an EBPC in 2008. Heard that it cost DCL around $450,000 to transit the canal each way...no discount for doing it twice, apparently. It was awesome and got us hooked on the water mouse for 9 more cruises...three additional ones coming up...

    Current Platinum Stateroom Gift?

    Some years ago, I believe as Silver, we got an honest-to-goodness backpack...two straps, web pockets on each side for water bottles and very reasonable capacity for stuff in two zippered pockets and an open, smaller one outside on the back. It was, still is, awesome. I take it on all cruises...

    Cruise for adults

    We, too, have been on almost all DCL cruises...out of 10, 3 have been without kids. The longest adventure was a B2B Medit./WBTA several years ago on the Magic. We had a blast with loads of things to do on many sea days. Liked it so much we are doing a B2B again this Sept. with a Brit...

    Can you add special occasions to a reservation?

    Yes, notify DCL either by email, phone call or on the ship at the Guest Services desk. Pixie dust will find you!!

    Silly question #4 - Are there still towel animals on the cruises druing Covid?

    We had them on the Dream over last Thanksgiving. One night we had an alligator, the longest one we have ever seen, the width of the bed.

    Alaska scheduling questions and Dawes Glacier

    When looking to book two excursions, make sure the last one is through DCL. If you book one online or at the port, with someone else, and you are late returning to the ship, it will not wait for you. We were on an EBPC some years ago when a DCL excursion/bus was late. The Magic waited 45...

    September 18th, 2022: 12-Night Westbound Transatlantic from Dover to NY (Le Havre, Plymouth, Vigo, King’s Wharf)

    We are on this cruise, too...senior citizens around 80. This is the second cruise of a B2B with the Brit. Isles adventure first. Our son, recently retired whose wife is still working and can't come, is part of our crew of three. Doubt we can get him in one of the kids's clubs. We did a B2B...

    Dream Crowds Currently

    We were on the Dream over Thanksgiving and it was only half full...the cruise before only had 800. It will change with the holidays, spring breaks and DCL guidelines often...we have three cruises scheduled with the mouse this year and I will wait until a week or two before boarding to determine...

    Current Nassau excursions?

    We (2 families, 7 total) were on the Dream over Thanksgiving and stopped at Nassau. We had booked excursions to Pearl Beach, one with snorkel tour, one without, both with lunch. Both excursions were canceled for "technical problems." It was windy and the waves were sizable...possible reason...
