    Do you like the turn-down chocolates on DCL?

    Have always not had them leave our cabin in original wrapper when on our DCL Cruises. Our current cruise line of choice provides Venchi Chocolates that do come home.

    Best Disney ship for couple only trip

    Agree with the information that's been given but going to *tack* in a different direction after opinion -- We've cruised Wonder and Dream with family and by ourselves resulting in wonderful memories on both but for solo cruising we would opt for Dream. We simply enjoy a larger boat and to that...

    slo’s MONDAY 4/8 poll - Solar Eclipse ☀️🌕😎

    DW just made reservations for viewing and accommodations at DD's house for the 2045 Total Eclipse. She's just outside of Orlando and if we are still alive the viewing could be spectacular Wonder if WDW will have a Totality Viewing - Parks Visiting Package.

    Would you ever go on a Disney Cruise?

    UNLESS DCL REDUCES PRICES we have no desire to add another DCL Cruise to our cruise schedule.

    Where's the weirdest place you have nodded off?

    Serious -- while bicycle riding during my Midnight Madness Bike Rides. Have gone off the road onto lawns twice and fell over but I was riding very slowly so no injuries.

    Do you live on the outskirts or in the centre of the place you love?

    I'm at where I'm at and really enjoy where I'm at and as such I'm at the center of being at for maximum enjoyment.

    Have you been back to your honeymoon spot?

    June 1973 we flew from JFK into Montego Bay and then took a van to The Plantation Inn, Ocho Rios-Jamacia. In 2022 we took a cruise that stopped at the Ocho Rios Port and all we wanted to do was to walk off the ship onto Jamaican soil then turn around and get back on the ship. When we got off...

    MCO or Port Canaveral hotel before cruise?

    We've stayed in a few but prefer the Low Key older Best Western even though it's a bit farther from the Port. Some who arrive at their hotel earlier in the day might go out for a dinner but since we're in the chill mode as soon as we pass the Port we walk across A1A to Publix and do a Grab n Go...

    MCO or Port Canaveral hotel before cruise?

    A no brainer must do for us has been a Beach Facing Room in Cocoa Beach. We enjoy knowing PC is only minutes away AND IF worse came to be - we could schlep to the Terminal :duck: , but seriously we CHILL after arriving and wake up EARLY (5am+/-) just to watch the ship as it glides by heading...

    Line most similar to DCL

    We met a cruiser on Oasis years ago who was constantly *on the water* cruising interior because she had reached the Highest Royal Loyalty Level many years earlier and was known by the Captain/Crew on the ships she voyaged around the World being treated as the VIP she was. Understand your...
