    Here is an thought about Possible ship retirement plans. With a poll.

    Mariah Carey is the top female solo artist of all time according to Billboard. DCL writ large has yet to achieve her level of success.

    So, I read off-site about a Platinum cruise goer booking for an upcoming cruise and..

    Same. I know this makes us outliers, but on our first cruise my then-five-year-old thought the mouse was named Nicky. I’d wager that if there’s anything that comprises a full 80% of the motivation for young families to choose DCL, it’s the kid’s club.

    Meanwhile, here in the suburbs of Boston, I had groceries delivered this morning and the steaks, frozen burgers, laundry sanitizer, disinfectant wipes, and toilet paper I ordered were all out of stock.

    Disney Wonder 5132 & 5632

    This thread has labeled pictures of the exterior: https://www.disboards.com/threads/wonder-labeled-pics-anybody.3593428/ 5632 is one of the classic Navigator’s verandahs that’s mostly enclosed. I’ve never stayed there but we’ve been in 5630, and between the two it’s a solid wall instead of the...

    Coronavirus and DCL Megathread - Suspension of Departures for the fleet until early November. Booking only available from early December.

    That’s correct. “ Additionally, guests scheduled to sail between now and May 31, 2020, can now change their reservation up until the day before embarkation and receive a 100% cruise credit to be used for a future sailing within 12 months of their original sail date by calling the telephone...

    Pirate League on DCL...only one child allowed??

    It’s saying that each child can only go once per cruise, not that only one of the children can go. I’ve had my son and nephew in the chair for Pirate’s League makeovers simultaneously. ETA: Presumably they can only go the Pirate’s League once, but they can be booked for that as well as another...

    What to do with 8 year old during adult time?

    We have traveled frequently since our 7-year-old was an infant and make a point of scheduling at least one “date” where he has to stay with a sitter on every trip, so we’ve convinced him that those few hours are the price of admission for fun vacations. Cruising is great because we end up...

    First Cruise October 2020!

    I like to wear ears sometimes, and I always see several others doing the same. (I've even seen them at Palo brunch and dinner, which I wouldn't personally do, but there you are.)

    Dole Whip - Adult version. How could I forget this!

    Dole Whip is one aspect of DCL that it seems is better for us than most other cruisers because we've never been to the parks...if you're not expecting it to be something else, it's satisfying.

    Official thread to keep track of GTY cabins ASSIGNED

    #1. What category GTY cabin did you book? 6A #2. What category and room # did you get? 5B 6082 #3. How many days before the cruise were you assigned your room? 49 #4. Are you happy with your assignment or do you feel like you got a "leftover"- undesirable room/location? We had been looking...

    Any tips for someone going from Dream to Classic class?

    We sailed the Dream and Fantasy first, and then the Wonder in the first post-dry dock cruise this past Fall. The Wonder was our favorite cruise of the three, by far. (We need a do-over on the Fantasy—Cozumel was rained out, Aladdin was canceled, we couldn’t dock at Castaway, and my husband’s...

    Where to Eat Pirate Night?

    For those who dislike the Pirate Night menu, what's from your perspective is the main issue: too little flavor, too much, too weird? (I find the food overall to be consistently mediocre, so I'm curious to know what stands out about that particular menu.)

    Beneights

    We tried them in the French Quarter Lounge on the first cruise after dry dock—they were freshly made and someone brought them to our table and put on the powdered sugar to our specifications. They were hotter than the ones we got at Tiana's Place so I preferred them, but I don't know that they...

    April 11-16, 2020 Magical Cruise to Cozumel/Castaway

    Margaritaville - Falmouth

    The Oasis of the Seas was originally scheduled to be there while we were last April, but then a crane fell on it while she was in dry dock and the sailing was canceled.

    Any recent Remy impressions? $125 seems steep...

    We've been in Boston for 10 years. I swear I am not lying when I say that overall my experiences at Remy have been better than the Grand Omakase at O Ya, which as of recently was literally the most expensive tasting menu in town—the food was in the ballpark quality-wise (although a very...

    Is DCL getting - or is it already - complacent?

    The true measure of loyalty to the cruise line is the number of days spent on their ships. I don't see why any premium you pay above a baseline fare to maximize your enjoyment onboard should count toward that measure. To me that's like claiming that the amount you spend in the gift shops or on...
