    Do you like the turn-down chocolates on DCL?

    I'm personally not a fan of Ghiradelli, but I love Dove (dark chocolate though). The ones I don't like are the pirate coins. I have some sitting in a bowl on the counter from our cruise in September and it was a Norway cruise so we didn't have a pirate night. We still got the nasty pirate...

    Transatlantic - Tell Me All the Things!

    On our WBTA there were several days that were great pool weather. There were also some days that were not. Our WBTA was from the middle to the end of September though. The upcoming WBTA is late October to early November (because of dry dock) so will probably be quite a bit cooler.

    Transatlantic - Tell Me All the Things!

    My 12 year old daughter (at the time) and I did the 2019 WBTA. It was fabulous. There was plenty to do and lots of time to relax too. We were never bored. My daughter became great friends with the other 3 kids assigned to our dinner table and the 4 of them did almost everything together. We...

    How many more days until your Disney cruise - Part 3

    92 to Alaska...finished all plans and booking everything today. I don't do ship excursions unless absolutely necessary, so I got that all figured out. We are also driving from Colorado to Vancouver so had to figure out all of the stops on the way there and back (mostly visiting family). I'm...

    How is Dream different than Magic/Wonder (other than larger)

    It's funny because we went on the Dream in September after not having been on it since 2017. Since 2017 we had been on the Fantasy once, the Wish once, the Wonder twice, and the Magic twice. I was surprised how old the Dream seemed. I feel like it has been longer since it has been...

    Bothered by the fog horn?

    We were just on the Dream Northern Europe/Norwegian Fjords cruise and we had one night that was super spooky foggy. We were aft and loved hearing the fog horn. We only heard it when our veranda door was open though. We left the door open for a long time so we could hear it. I wonder if it...

    Current CM.. Any Questions?

    When we did our Med. cruise a few years ago there was a cast member that was at the Leaning Tower of Pisa with us. She asked me to take some pictures of her since she was sightseeing solo. When we got to Naples she and a couple of other cast members were looking for transportation to Pompeii...

    Character Interactions

    Jealous! We were on the Dream Sept. 3-10 and I wish we could have stayed for the following cruise and then the TA. The TA we did in 2019 was probably my favorite cruise ever. Have fun!

    Character Interactions

    That's basically what she said to us. She said let's take a portrait. I was a little disappointed because Belle is one of my favorite characters and my daughter and I were going to ask her some questions about the Beast and favorite books. She just quickly went to taking a portrait though so...

    Character Interactions

    We just got off the Dream and had great interactions with the Princess at the Meet and Greet. We talked about Beignets with Tiana (since we were heading to breakfast right after pictures), Rapunzel said Flynn was challenging Pascal to a game of chess and asked who we thought would win (Pascal...

    Character Interactions

    I just got off the Dream yesterday (Northern Europe and Norwegian Fjords) and I didn't notice any of this bad behavior (except a couple of smokers smoking right in front of no smoking signs). I did notice that the character lines were LONG! We only got pictures with a couple of characters...

    Castaway Snorkeling Question

    My daughter was 8 on our first DCL cruise and we snorkeled out to most of the Disney stuff. She did get tired on the way back, but she did it. She is a strong swimmer though. It has definitely gotten easier for her as she's gotten older though. I feel like our first time out there seemed the...

    Do Disney put on free shuttles into the towns/cities once they dock at each port?

    I am on the September 3rd Dream cruise and I assumed there was a shuttle because on my excursion and on many other ones I looked at it said: Head off the ship from Mekjarvik to Stavanger by shuttle bus for approximately 30 minutes. I feel like I also read it somewhere else, but I can't...

    Do Disney put on free shuttles into the towns/cities once they dock at each port?

    It definitely depends on the port. We had shuttles into Livorno, Genoa, and will in Stavanger (I believe). Many others, no. We didn't in Ringaskiddy (Cork, Cobh) and that port is out in the middle of nowhere. Some others may have had shuttles, but either I was on a DCL excursion or had...

    Would you consider DCL's menus too American?

    I don't mind DCL food. I do tend to order the same things each cruise. I do have to say on my transatlantic cruise though I was quite sick of the food by the end. I think 7 day cruises are about max of eating DCL food. I do love longer cruises, but in the future I'd eat more in the ports when...

    Alternative to Port Adventures?

    When we were in Curacao we booked a private Tuk Tuk tour of the major town sites. It was an interesting experience and allowed us to see a lot in a short amount of time. After our Tuk Tuk tour, we walked over to the Kura Hulanda museum https://www.curacao.com/en/activity/kura-hulanda-museum...
