    Norway vs Mediterranean

    Both of these cruises will be amazing, but the Barcelona one is easier to do anytime (there are cruises every week all year long), and the destinations are also quite easy to cover via a trip on land (likely at a more relaxing pace). Also, if you want to see Italy most of all, while not cruise...

    Norway vs Mediterranean

    This will NOT be the last Norwegian Fjords cruise. The Norwegian government has imposed restrictions on fossil fuel using ships for their World Heritage designated fjords starting Jan 2026. Nordfjord is not designated world heritage, so DCL could use this port with existing ships in summer...

    They are here! (Summer 2025 I mean)

    Thank you, super helpful! We were on HAL long ago (not Alaska), and I will say that their food and service was excellent. They also have/had advanced medical capabilities on board, which I thought was a reason many of their itineraries skewed older. I have to check out Princess for the future...

    New Disney Ships: News, Rumors, Speculation.....and Names!

    They should have called the ship that will be completely different with the casino and had a weird life history “Destiny” like it was the poor ships destiny to become a Disney ship, and the “true” to the line DCL ships should be Adventure and Treasure.

    New Disney Ships: News, Rumors, Speculation.....and Names!

    That would be too bad. I’ve just started looking seriously at the European offerings and am realizing how woefully underrepresented and under utilized DCL’s European sailings are compared to what all other cruise lines are offering; most significantly that there are far too few itineraries… and...

    They are here! (Summer 2025 I mean)

    Would recommend the Wish (or Treasure) for you, if you liked the Wish previously, and want something similar for the kids that didn’t get to go before! The other ships will be too different, and the kids club on Wish is a notch above all the others, and there’s no Hero Zone on the others. The...

    They are here! (Summer 2025 I mean)

    How is Princess vs HAL for Alaska, like the biggest differences? Kids will be between 9-14.

    Strategy for character meets on the Wish

    In my experience, no matter the ship, characters are so much easier to meet on the ships vs the parks. The lines are always shorter. Plus, the characters frequently visit oceaneers club. These spontaneous meets are the best! Your kid has a very high chance meeting lots of characters...

    Been 15 years since my last dcl. I have some questions!

    1). you are silver 2) no, check on it - it would display main or second. You can call to be put on a wait list. This is often successful 3) not quickly. Unless it’s for something very specific (certain pirate night do’s), and you are set on a specific date and time. 4) yes! Pretty much every...

    U.S. Embassy issues Security Alert for NASSAU

    Divert? Absolutely not. No chance. The Wish was just there. There have been other travel warnings, other islands, etc.

    U.S. Embassy issues Security Alert for NASSAU

    I would say though, don’t expect lower crowds on the ship, you’ll be disappointed. From DCL almost no passengers (maybe 100 ppl total, if that) left the ship in Nassau - we just got back from there. We were not surprised since it was similar the last 3 cruises. There were 3 RCL ships next to...

    Travel Agency Perks: What is Normal?

    I used a travel agent a few times who definitely knew DCL, the OBC was good the first time and ok the second time (can’t remember exact amounts), the one after that I thought it wasn’t worth not having control of my booking anymore… think $50 or so… not sure… so in essence our OBC got lower and...

    Just off the Wish - Enchante brunch menu is no more!

    The Enchantee dinner was $500 ? Wow! I thought the specialty experience is supposed to be “a nominal charge” per person? Or is this a $400 bottle of wine?

    Merrytime Cruise and Character outfits

    Yes, there is a pirate night! I don’t remember all the outfits, but definitely holiday ones, I think for more than one day though!

    Setting up DCL App for kids and communication onboard?

    THANK YOU!! This is exactly what I was wondering about and hoping for, but I wasn’t positive it would work without setting it up ahead of time!

    Setting up DCL App for kids and communication onboard?

    I did log in for everyone with my Disney account in the past, but the App has greatly increased in capabilities. Initially it was only replacing the paper navigators and offering a simple chat. Now your App does everything; online check in, credit cards, booking your placeholder, passport info...

    Setting up DCL App for kids and communication onboard?

    To make communication easy on board we are giving our kids (ages 8 to 12) old iPhones. I tried to set up the DCL app to be used on board later, however, it asked me to set up a Disney account. When I did so, it said "not able to register" - I assume due to age. I can't click on "still at...
