    Tipping Guides

    Unfortunately you don't know that until you meet your guides. Which means you may have already got the cash prepared. I know our first ABD, we thought both of our guides would be local and so we prepared with extra local currency, then they were both US citizens and one of them returning with...

    My thoughts on pros and cons of Second Seating

    We don't have young kids, but of our 11 cruises, we have been on early dining for the first 6 cruises and late dining the last 5 have been late dining and we did that because we didn't want to feel rushed back after a long port day and early dining seemed like we were rushed out of the dining...

    DCL Mediterranean Magic Add-on

    I know... it seemed like we got out of Dinner so late, but I would not want to miss the time with the ABD family. We did a lot of table hopping and talking between the tables and sharing tales of the day Same for us, that they let us know ahead of time of Rome being the longest day and...

    DCL Mediterranean Magic Add-on

    I believe they automagically put you on late dinning and you can request early dinning, but I would recommend you stick with the dinning they put you on. 1) Your whole ABD family eats together in the same area, not necessarily the same table. You do bound with your ABD family after the first...

    Any positive Experiences using DCL Air Transportation Program?

    We booked our 7 night Med Cruise and Adventures by Disney Add on and having a tough time finding reasonable airfare. Our travel agent checked with DCL and their prices were coming in about $300 cheaper per ticket than what we were finding and so we went with them, booked DCL hotel the day...

    Cass, Rob & Kira - Christmas on the Wonder - 2018. Third time's a charm!

    The lagoon looks so much cleaner than when we were there in 2010. The water was pretty murky.

    Anyone else on the holiday Danube river cruise this December 2018?

    Thank you for posting. I wondered what it would be like to tour during a holiday like Christmas Eve and Christmas I wasn't sure what would be open or not. I really want to do this during the holiday period just to see the Christmas markets again. But not thinking I would like the cold...

    Copenhagen: Short Escape Review

    awe.. you had Robyn and Amber as well as Klaus.. We have Robyn and Amber back in June of 2015 on our pre cruise stay. Klaus was an excellent local guide. Did you not go to the front of the little mermaid or was that only for those going on the bus to the Ship? Copenhagen is a very lovely...

    Embedded ABD on the Med Cruise

    We did the first Med ABD embedded of this year. Might have been timing but different from SayHello's experience our meeting times each morning at port between 6:30 and 7:30am. Yes it was early, but Cabana's opens at 6 and then we rested our eyes on the bus journey's to our destination. We...

    DCL transfers to/from Galveston

    That is correct, they don't have the same arrangement like they have in MCO. We have done this before. You will need to take yourself and your bags down to the ground floor and take the tram to the terminal where DCL busses are located and go up one floor, then they will put your bags on the...

    Trip insurance

    we have been on 11 cruises with DCL, 3 of them we did not use Trip insurance, 2 cruises we used insurance through Disney and the rest we got our own through different means. Things to consider... DCL insurance only covers what you purchase through them. When we shopped around we had to...

    Adventure Guide job posting

    I don't remember seeing the guides with a pack on during our Copenhagen adventure, but most recently Dusty with his huge "Mary Poppin's bag". Something we needed he had it in there. I marveled how he manuver through the Mediterranean, during the heat.

    How important is a veranda on a Mediterranean cruise?

    Good point, about the ports. Same with our cruise, only Cannes was scenic port.

    New MCO Hyatt policy for DCL luggage transfer?

    that was my first thought, that this would be an option only for guests who book through DCL. It would not be too difficult to bring my own bags down to the bus, but hopefully there would be someone to remove them and take to on the ship, verse me having to shlept them over to a porter.

    How important is a veranda on a Mediterranean cruise?

    We just did the Med May 26 cruise and had a SPH room. (No Veranda) It was an easy run up or down to a deck if we wanted fresh air or to be outside. We had ABD booked, so we were on the go must of the time, leaving the ship by 6 or 6:30 and back on just before the all aboard. On Sea days we...

    Breakfast Debarkation Morning

    FYI.. Cabanas last morning breakfast hours are not listed on the options on your disembarkment papers, they only list the MDR hours. Ask you severs what Cabanas opens in the morning, generally I would assume 1/2 hour earlier than first MDR. We generally let our servers know we will not be...

    Do they try to up-sell you at Palo?

    Outside of the first time at Palo's in 1999, where they pushed bottled water, we have never had any upselling at Palo's You have us beat on Remy's. We only did $400/2 not even sure how we did that. Except we had been warned by our bartender at our mixology class on the cost of the port...

    When cruising Alaska or Mediterranean .....

    This year we booked our Air to Barcelona through DCL Air and it was much cheaper than what we could find on our own. Plus we didn't need to pay for it in full until our PIF date. Now maybe because we went through a TA, we only saw one choice of flights, but maybe with the recent change with...
