    Share your "small joys" of cruising!

    Free Cove Cafe snacks, pastries during the day and olives/cheese/bread sticks at night. Last 2 cruises we were an all adult party, so we'd sit in the comfy chairs in the adult pool area at night after the show, snacking on the savory Cove Cafe snacks, french fries, and pizza. While this is a...

    Separate cabin for college-age kids?

    Next year we're sharing a cabin with our 21/25 yr olds. We're still paying for them...if they could pay for part of it, they could have their own cabin. We're not in the room much, so it's no issue. We're DVC too and enjoyed a couple years of 1 bedrooms...back to studios this year to take...

    They are here! (Summer 2025 I mean)

    Enjoy! Alaska was our first cruise in 2016. We're doing the 8/11 Alaska cruise next year as our 5th cruise. Looking forward to being on the Wonder again.

    They are here! (Summer 2025 I mean)

    Can anyone show me the deck 2 aft Oceanview availability/quote for 4 adults on 8/11/25 7nt Alaska with Icy Strait Point on the Wonder? We can book tomorrow, just wondering how many deck 2 aft rooms are booked. Thanks!

    Juneau - dog sled /Mendenhall?

    I definitely think Skagway is great for a first Alaska cruise as there are tons of things to do there. We're doing the ISP one so that we get to try a different port for our second Alaska cruise. The secret porthole room will likely cost the same as the listed Oceanview price The 'starting...

    Am I crazy? Would you try this?

    I would worry about making the 1am flight. Say the 8pm show goes to 11pm. Then you need time to exit theater, get to airport, go thru security, etc. I'm sure it's not as bad leaving a concert in Vegas...but I just think about how long it takes us to get out of the theater and get out of...

    They are here! (Summer 2025 I mean)

    What about doing a non concierge room? Then you'd be able to afford a longer cruise. We have never done concierge and loved all our Disney cruises. I generally avoid the buffets and if we have time we'll do 1-2 sit down breakfasts and lunches/cruise in the main dining room that is open for...

    Pemba Savannah

    Pembe doesn't have giraffes and zebras like Sunset does, which is why most prefer that. I know some standard views have a Pembe view near the pool--we had that before with a standard 1 bedroom --saw red river hogs, some bird, maybe Okapi and some very small antelope type creatures.

    Next Batch of Cruises

    I agree. We still have 1 kid in college, so looking at summer cruises... August is cheaper but the Europe cruises are mostly short boring ones in August and no desire to sail the Caribbean in summer, especially in the height of hurricane season. I think we're doing Alaska again but the Icy...

    What exactly is so bad about the pirate night food, and is anything good?

    We really enjoyed it! Lots of flavorful interesting food!

    Australia/NZ Cruises

    Sounds like they need to change the auto gratuities to 'service fees', especially when departing from countries without a tipping culture. I feel bad for the CMs though, they work so hard.

    Never Enough Points!

    😂 This is one of the years I'd love more points! We own 350, did 2 one bedroom trips in 2023. 2024 is currently at 4 studio trips booked. DD24 is doing the Disney College program...so 1 trip for January move in, 1 for August move out, and visits in March and June. So glad we activated...

    Disney Rewards Redemption Card

    We save up our Rewards $ and use it for excursions on our cruises. DH goes to guest services after boarding and tells them how much he wants to put on our account. Last time 1 excursion was cancelled so we ended up with a credit of $400 going back onto our rewards card automatically after our...

    First impressions - Fantasy 3/2-3/9

    Gorgeous pics of St John and Trunk Bay! We honeymooned there in 1993. So glad you're having a wonderful cruise!

    Next Batch of Cruises

    Is today the day they release itinerary info? I hope...if it's 3/14 or 3/21 I'll either be scrambling to pay the deposit on my way to the airport or trying to figure out what cruise to take next summer while on vacation at Disney, 😂

    Can you get regular MDR menu on Pirate Night?

    I wanted to add that even on the pirate night menu, if you don't like the menu options, there are 'lighter note' options of unsauced chicken, steak, and salmon with baked potato or rice. On a 4 nt you will get the 3 MDR menus plus the pirate night menu.
