Same here. They confiscated my Leatherman tool and my power strip! It was easy to get them back, but what if we had been on a one-way cruise?? Hmmm.

Bermuda - do the Gossling's Rum tour if you can, get a dark-n-stormy, eat some seafood! We did an island tour and it was beautiful and amazing - loved it. Nassau - stay on the boat.... 8-)

Second question first - maybe. It depends on the 5 rooms. A lot of rooms are just partition after partition, so those would be no problem. But there are bulkheads between some rooms as well, and those (obviously) cannot be opened. Your best bet it to check the deck map and/or photos to see if...

We did Alaska when we were silver and had no issues booking excursions. Individual results may vary, consult your physician, batteries not included... LOL. When you book the excursion, you will see the start time for each and the duration. So it is technically possible for your scenario to work...

This was a problem we ran into as well. My account was the only one linked to Castaway status, so when I went to book the second room we needed, no one else in my family could see the early booking options. Had to call DCL to get it squared away.

I have a couple of the nice glass mugs and one of the plastic ones - I keep the token card now. **Technically** you're supposed to purchase a new mug and/or token on each cruise. But they've never enforced that or even mentioned it. There are dark rumors that they're going to transition the...

You can use a placeholder later too (I need to do that....) but technically it's a cancelation and rebook. The odds of someone snapping up that room you wanted (as I have) are low, but it **could** happen. I booked via the website yesterday morning on platinum day and it was fast and no issues.

Good question - I would recommend calling guest services before you sail to ask about that. You do not have to "prove" you have an allergy, but at dinner 1 they will ask you about allergies and are usually very good about making recommendations based on that.

I had 2 very different experiences - I booked online for our first room but no one else in my family had set up logins, so they didn't have Castaway status tied to them - so I had to call to get our second room (family of 6). Called at 0800 and was on hold for 2 hours. Was about to transfer the...

We've done it a couple of times, it's basically an "intro to the spa services" thing with some raffles sprinkled in. We've never won anything and usually skip it.

The only thing to be aware of is that for lifeboat drills, you must show up with the party you are "in the room with," so everyone in room 1 together and room 2 together, etc. You could even be at separate stations depending on the room, as @PrincessShmoo has said in other posts. We've not had...

It is available - I recall seeing it on the pool deck station on Fantasy in January. As to the distinction, I don't know. If you call DCL they can tell you - they're really good about that kind of stuff.

Agreed - we've transferred all of our cruises to Costco Travel and you just call DCL to add the transfer.

We heard the same thing on Fantasy in January from our head server. He said it was not coming back. Who knows - it could change but I wouldn't hold my breath.

They do hint that they're on the menu - if your server doesn't mention it, ask! The pizza is available too, don't recall if it was on the menu but they did offer it. This was Fantasy in January.

Yeah, I'm going to be working on a plan just like that. I'm going to have a "default schedule" that I'll deliver in FEs and that people can put in their card holder. Then I'll have a whiteboard on our stateroom door with any changes for that day. And yes, day 1 will be the "see what conflicts...

We did the TA from PC to Copenhagen in 2017 and the sailing couldn't have been smoother. The ocean was literally like glass. However, the crew did regale us with stories of a previous (they didn't say which) TA where everyone was confined to their rooms due to the rough seas and food was...

I second the guidance of talking to your group leader and/or carefully reading the participation rules. We've had a couple of FE groups over the years that we put a lot of time and effort into only to get dollar store junk in return. We've also had some that have completely blown our minds. I...

The whole fam was just on Fantasy in January and my DW and I were on Magic in October, neither had Palo buffet. Our servers both indicated similar to what others have said, the buffet isn't coming back. Fun fact though, you can still get the warm sticky buns if you ask for them - they're not on...

Totally understand the traditional definition, I think this group is looking for more of a "one pint per night" type of crawl. And since we have 2 weeks, maybe we'll do the one-per-night the first week then a different mix the second week, or something like that.
