    Said I never would and I did.

    While I'm not 100% sold on the Wish, the Concierge experience is on a completely different level than the other ships when it comes to the lounge and related amenities. That's my review.

    August 2023

    Just booked a last minute, post-cruise stay to do Food & Wine Festival on 8/26 and 8/27. Very good rate on a room at BWI (assuming construction played into that) so we can walk back-and-forth between Epcot.

    Have you ever accidentally run into a celebrity at WDW?

    Was in the club lounge at the GF with Buddy the cake boss and at WL with the guy from Pawn Stars. Sat at a table next to Slash at Sanaa. My DW had the best encounter with a table next to Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise at Be Our Guest.

    Eastern Caribbean in late August

    Have had hurricanes impact southern and western itineraries but not on the eastern. Can't remember exact timing for either. Never encountered bad weather on the cruise itself. DCL handled things much better than other cruise lines whose passengers we encountered. On our southern, DCL reversed...

    Ready to Book Onboard Activities/Shore Excursions and Site is Undergoing "Maintenance"

    And finally able to access it at 12:20 a.m. Got everything we wanted so all's well that ends well, I suppose.

    Ready to Book Onboard Activities/Shore Excursions and Site is Undergoing "Maintenance"

    We are Platinum so at least there's that. I'm going to bed but will run down if I wake up at any point.

    Disney Dream adult only area drinks harassment?

    If anything, my recent experience has been a lack of servers on the deck compared to prior years.

    Ready to Book Onboard Activities/Shore Excursions and Site is Undergoing "Maintenance"

    Why would they do that exactly at the booking window? So frustrating...

    VIP Tours and RotR Discussion

    We had a VIP tour last week and did RotR the same day. We left Beach Club a little after 6 a.m. and walked to the park, were through security and in the park by around 6:30 a.m., and scored BG 48. I was a little worried about how much of the VIP time that would eat up as we were meeting our...

    Seine River Cruise Reviews?

    We just did the adults-only and had a fantastic time. All passengers on the AmaLyra--about 103--were with the ABD group and were served by six guides, as well as by the normal ships's crew and by a rotation crew of excellent local guides. The guides were great and so was the ship crew. One...

    I was scammed before my cruise

    Airport taxis can get tricky because sometimes there's the fare, plus extra per person over a certain number, plus extra per bag, etc. I like how they did it in San Juan when we were there earlier this year. Someone working at the airport filled out a card that included the fare plus all the...

    Table in Wonderland Discount - Discount on Show Packages?

    Just a few of the resort-based shows like the Luau and Hoop-de-doo Review; and in those cases only one show time is typically available at a discount.

    The Low Fare feature only lets me see through November but I need tickets for January so still waiting.

    For those that have sailed both Concierge and non-concierge

    We love concierge and all that comes with it, but only to a point. When the cost differential over a regular verandah cabin is 50% +/- a little, it's likely worth it and I'd pay that. But on a few of the upcoming cruises we have booked in regular cabins, a concierge cabin was twice as much and...

    United Flight Change Question

    In my experience with United at ORD you need at least an hour to be safe. I did months of weekly flights on AA with a 30-minute connection and never missed it. When UA was offering slightly better fares for the same route I booked two round trips with 45 minute connections and missed three out...

    Anyone use Wi-Fi calling on a mobile phone?

    I find WiFi calling to be much cleaner than a cell signal on my own network. If you are moving from WiFi network to WiFi network or between WiFi and cellular during a single call, however, in my experience it almost certainly will glitch briefly and on occasion will drop the connection.

    Is there a bus from EP to CR?

    No buses between Epcot and any of the MK resorts unless the monorail is down. Monorail is the only Disney transport option.

    Go to the Main Page (not the Book Flights page), manually enter the dates (ignore the pop-up calendars) and force it to book. I just got April 27/May 2.
