    I did the same thing one time. Thankfully I quickly realized my mistake.

    Hair dryer on Wonder

    The dryers that are attached to the bathroom wall are horrible. The ones in the desk area drawer are Babyliss. They are a lot better than the other ones.

    Share your "small joys" of cruising!

    I'm not cooking, cleaning, or driving my daughter to school/after school activities all week long. Just looking at the ocean brings me peace. Also enjoy playing shuffleboard and the Anyone Can Cook demos.

    Juneau - what would you choose

    We've gone to Mendenhall Glacier in 2014 and 2024. We hiked to Nugget Falls both times. In 2014 you could see the entire Glacier going into the lake from Nugget Falls. In 2024 from Nugget Falls you could see the top part of the Glacier but not the part that goes into the water. You could see...

    Line most similar to DCL

    We did a 7 night NCL cruise on the Encore. I was very excited to try another line and had planned on booking 2 more NCL cruises before we went on it. I also have a teenager and had been on 8 DCL cruises previously. We ate dinner in 2 upcharge resaurants and the food was good. It was also good in...

    Disney Magic in 2024, still worth it?

    Our first cruise was on the Magic in 2001, we haven't been on her since then. We've been on the Wonder twice and the Fantasy 4 times. We've enjoyed both for different reasons. We're going on the Magic in July. I'm excited to eat in Rapunzel's restaurant and seeing the different shows. My dd is...

    Beach in Tortola

    We did an excursion to Beef beach in 2019. It was several months after a hurricane had hit the island and some of the other beaches were closed. It was nice. I don't remember any restaurants, but there were vendors selling food and other souvenirs. They weren't pushy and didn't bother us. The...

    First time DCL, vacation timing with spring break

    The prices for cruises, airfares, and hotels are going to be more anytime schools are out. When my dd was in elementary school we would go in Jan because the same cruise in March/April, June-Aug was always a few thousands more. It was never a problem for her to miss a few days. Now she is in...

    Passport for Alaska cruise

    We did an Alaskan cruise last summer. My dd's passport was also getting close to it's expiration date. The 6 month rule is for some European and Asian countries. North American countries are only 3 months. We went ahead and got her a new passport, we received it in 10 weeks.

    DCL cruisers tried Royal...

    We had cruised to Alaska on DCL with extended family in 2014. It was a wonderful cruise. I didn't think the shorter port times would be so bad when I booked with NCL, but once we were at the ports we were rushed to do things. Plus all the DCL characters in their Alaskan gear is so fun. My dh is...

    DCL cruisers tried Royal...

    My family of 3 have done 8 DCL cruises(all 7 nights, 2 Wonder, 1 Magic, and 5 Fantasy). We decided to try NCL's Encore last summer. I was so excited before our cruise and had already picked out 2 other NCL cruises for summer 2024. Thankfully I hadn't booked them because after our cruise we...

    Tortola and St Thomas Beaches

    We went to Secret Sands Beach at St Thomas in 2019. It is a natural preserve area so they only allow one ship excursion to be there at a time. They had nice clean restrooms. There aren't any restaurants, but the host had drinks and snacks for sale.

    Ketchikan lunch

    We did a DCL excursion that took us to the lumberjack show and Potlatch Totem pole park. My dd was 6 yrs old at the time and enjoyed both, so did my husband and I. We did it in 2014, don't know if the excursion is still offered or not. We had some kid's club cms who also did the excursion. When...

    How early do you book your cruise?

    T That's the website I had used, I couldn't remember the name of it. I haven't used gift cards for a few years since my town doesn't have a Target, Costco or any other stores that offer discounts.

    How early do you book your cruise?

    Years ago my little town's grocery store would give a discount on any gift cards bought from them. I would buy 1 Disney gift card and then each month I would buy another gift card. Each month I would transfer the amount from each month's card to the very first card I bought. Each payment would...

    Formal Night Opt Out

    You must be from Ohio. I grew up in Oklahoma, but have lived just north of Columbus, Ohio for nearly 20 yrs. Looking forward to the Browns game today!! I can't stand the Steelers either.

    DCL Onboard Restricted Items Policy Updates: Decorations, Ducks and Ashes and More

    I think people wil still hide ducks that they were given. DCL needs to ban them from getting onto the ship and post it on their site.

    Wonder Stateroom 1045 or 2081 and Outlook Cafe?

    We were in cabin 2592 which is under the restaurant/kitchen. It was horrible! Every night from 11pm until 2am it sounded like bowling balls being dropped on our cabin ceiling. There were no cabins across from our cabin. I thought it would be quiet. But no. That area must be some type of work...

    Fort Lauderdale Cruises and using Hilton Marina for Disney Transportation Questions

    Would love to hear what you think about that hotel/area. We always stay at Marriott properties and I'm considering that hotel for our cruise next summer.
