I'm looking to book a DCL cruise on the Dream for summer 2019 (or summer 2020 if the options would be better). I've gone on 2 cruises before, but my friend has not been on one yet, and I've never booked one myself. This cruise would be for 2 adults, and we would like an Oceanview room.
We know the summer 2019 rooms are currently slim pickings, so we might be better waiting for 2020, but I know those haven't been announced yet. Any idea when that would happen? Would it be better to book through Costco Travel and get a Costco Cash card, or book through Disney direct? How do we know what would be the best room location? On the last cruise I went on I was in a higher deck room, and it was nice because it had a light and open feeling (compared to the lower deck rooms). The higher decks on the Dream are concierge level, and we're not looking to pay that much. If we go for the summer of 2019, I was looking at end rooms on the forward side of the ship on decks 8 or 9. Any experience or advice on those areas?
What else should we know? How does purchasing insurance work? Can we do that through Costco or Disney, or do we need to do that separately?
Thanks in advance!
