    Platinum booking issues

    Yes, same. I could see them earlier today, but not now and I've tried logging out and back in, different browser, etc. and nothing is working.

    Best deck/location for a quiet Oceanview cabin on the Magic?

    LOL - that was me, and I was reminded of that cruise with this thread! :) I can only assume that they fixed their housekeeping procedure after my complaint and they no longer bang the vacuum on every single booth in the club in the middle of the night - every night.

    Pain management on cruise ?

    This battery/rechargeable heating pad worked great for my Mom earlier this year. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07V2C8WJ8/

    Any really good fares for Fall 2021?

    The Panama Canal for category 9C was slightly less (about $150/person) in 2021 than in 2020 - both booked Platinum opening day.

    Universal transport between hotel properties

    Can you walk from Cabana Bay Resort to Aventura and Sapphire Falls? It looks like there is a light right there but no crosswalk. I'm guessing that it's possible to do so but they just don't want to encourage it...

    To be cheap, or not to be cheap?

    SPH (secret porthole) cabins are the exact same layout as the oceanview cabins - the only difference is the view in SPH is obstructed due to the lifeboats. While SPH cabins are priced as deluxe inside 10A, they are a different layout than the oceanview cabins. Oceanview cabins (SPH that...

    Refund on cancelled reservation

    I cancelled a hotel reservation 3/22 and it showed up on my credit card 3/30, but was dated 3/23.

    Switching cruises after PIF...with a placeholder

    In the past, my TA told me that I'd lose the regular 20% deposit even if we'd just paid the reduced 10% deposit by booking onboard or using a placeholder that was booked onboard. That was a few years ago though so things may have changed.

    Placeholder booking question

    Yep - I always reserve 2 just in case someone else might be able to join us. I have several active placeholders at a time and if I end up not using one, I just roll the deposit over to a cruise reservation that I am using!

    Placeholder booking question

    This is the exact reason why I still turned in the form on my recent cruise to book 2 placeholders rather than using the app - so that I could list specific names. Unless they've changed the rule that at least one original person on the reservation must remain when actually using the...

    I wish DCL offered a dinner buffet

    A buffet in Cabanas doesn't interest me at all. I avoid buffets in general and specifically don't like Cabanas on Disney's ships. I don't like the tables/layout, it's always way too hot in there because they just can't seem to cool it adequately, and the germs from non-clean hands serving...

    Disney Cruise First Timer - How do you get an 8AS room?

    I agree with you that the missing split bath is a big negative. All the open, empty floor space really isn't very useful to me since I cruise with adults only, though I suppose it could be a nice play area for small children.

    2 questions

    Yes, this is correct as I've found several times before with linked reservations. Also, for the OP - it's rare these days for any beverage tastings to be available for even Silver and sometimes Gold, so as first-timers you should set realistic expectations of finding all of them fully booked...

    San Diego Question

    Wouldn't recommend trying it - Disney recommends 11:45. https://disneycruise.disney.go.com/guest-services/ground-transportation/ Guests Arranging Independent Air Travel For San Diego to San Diego sailings, we recommend the following flight-time guidelines: Latest arrival time to San Diego...

    Just off the Wonder (EBPC Nov 8-22)

    Club host was Deano, who was very disappointing after having Jo on previous PC cruises!

    If you like the free iMessage, note it on your survey!

    I chatted with the CM on the same cruise who said that something is definitely also in the works for Android phones, and that it should be coming very soon, so there's real hope for that! She also confirmed that iMessage is working for free on all 4 ships now.

    Official thread to keep track of GTY cabins ASSIGNED

    Those cabins aren't connecting FYI. They are next to each other (adjoining). :) I think it's nice that Disney obviously tries to assign cabins close like this when they can!

    Add and remove a person or name change

    Definitely do a name change, which will keep the original pricing with discount and doesn't cost anything. I usually get a placeholder for me and my husband, and then for the cruises he's not with me, I just change the name once I know who will be joining me. Never had a charge and have done...

    This weekend in Bahamas

    Yeah, what you're looking for would only be covered under "Cancel for any reason" type of policy. I've had TravelGuard insurance for each of my cruises with several claims quickly paid after providing reasonable documentation. Sorry you've had such back luck!
