    Dinner Attire

    You will see the full range of attire at dinner. Some wear t-shirts and shorts, others dress up. I think you should do what is comfortable for you as long as it's not messy or grungy. We hit somewhere in the middle toward the casual side. Collared/ nicer shirt and nicer shorts/capris/pants.

    Are fish extenders still a thing?

    There are definitely still FEs. Check your cruise thread. A lot of the activity for FEs has moved, however, to a social media site that we can't mention here.

    Goofy in nightgown looking for stateroom?

    I think he wears a sleep mask part of the time or has his ears flipped over his eyes.

    Can we take juices out of Cabanas to store in room for next day?

    Ah, thank you. I didn't realize they still have lids for them. I'll be using them in a week.

    Can we take juices out of Cabanas to store in room for next day?

    We just used one of the plastic glasses from Cabanas. I think I would use a refillable cup of my own with a lid if I had it. Also, DCL is doing away with lids for the drink cups including at the drink station by the pools. I don't know if they're off all the ships now or not. I wouldn't count...

    Making changes to excursions

    I just asked in our cruise group if someone who didn't have an excursion on the day in question could check for me about a different time for our excursion. (Whew. Hope you got that.) Anyway, a kind person looked and was able to tell me there were openings and I was able to grab the time we...

    Any tips for 10/18/19 2-day San Diego Halloween cruise?

    I would definitely try for a longer cruise if you are able. If not, just try to relax and enjoy your time on the ship. Walk around, go to the evening shows. You'll find plenty to do in the Navigator, the ships "newsletter".

    So now that DCL is 20 years old, what do you think will happen with all these "platinum" adults...

    This is nice to hear. We just booked our first Celebrity cruise.

    Panama Canal: Balcony or Oceanview Help

    The pilot you speak of is Capt. Kenneth Puckett. He is really great, as is his book. It's an easy read, informative and fun. He may be doing his last transit with us on the EBPC in 2 weeks. I'm hoping it won't be his last, but there are rumors to that effect. We went through the old locks in...

    So How Many Rooms Do You Think Are on Hold for Hawaii?

    The price will stay the same and probably go up. The only possibility it would go down is if there is a big drop in reservations so that they're having trouble filling the ship. Then they might do GT rates, but that would be closer to the sail date.

    DCL still providing Shampoo/conditioner/lotion, yes?

    I believe the CC gift is a nice sling bag.

    1st Cruise - Any advice/TIPS to give a dad traveling with kids 4 & 7?

    You can also take a night light from dollar tree and plug it in in the bathroom. At least it works on the Wonder. If you forget and leave it on the ship you're only out that dollar.

    Hawaii 2020

    It was not what I would call rough. I do remember, however, one day riding the waves in the Goofy pool. It was a lot of fun. It seemed pretty smooth to me most of the time.
