    Cancelled cruise, when can I call Costco to rebook?

    Nope you can just call and do it. I did the same thing this morning and it was quite easy, just be a bit patient with hold times.

    Just off the beautiful Fantasy! Navigators added!

    Can you tell me which shows were which nights and when pirate night was? I'm trying to get an idea for our next cruise. Thanks!

    Quick question about "Dolphin Encounter, Lunch, Drinks and Beach" (CZ04) in Cozumel?

    We did this in 2018. The guide is up at the front entrance to take guests back to the ship every hour on the hour from I think about 12-4. So you can have a longer time to explore the park or go back to the ship earlier depending on your preference.

    Martinique

    We are going on this cruise, silver castaway club members which put us at the bottom of the barrel for booking. This will be my first time booking excursions on my own but there just weren't any left that we wanted. I found one in Martinique that I'm actually really excited for. We booked...

    Best Port Excursions for Cozumel/Grand Cayman/Falmouth

    Climbing Dunn's River Falls was my favorite excursion to date over our 3 7-day cruises. It was just a really unique and fun experience.

    Private Excursion Help - Barbados and Puerto Rico

    Thanks everyone for your replies. We're going to book a private tour in Barbados. We definitely want to get to the wildlife preserve. I think we'll just walk to the closest fort in San Juan and take in the city a bit. I've been doing so much research and also changed our Martinique and Aruba...

    Private Excursion Help - Barbados and Puerto Rico

    I am hoping some of you experienced people can help me. We are going on the 11-night southern Caribbean cruise this summer. Due to it being a longer cruise, it's mostly experienced cruisers so as silver status we were basically last to book. As I expected, many of the items we wanted are gone...

    Chankanaab National Park excursions

    We did the dolphin encounter and it was great. There are a couple of free meal options available afterwards and lots to do in the park itself. They have it set up so you can meet your guide out front every hour on the hour when you're ready to go, so you can choose how long you want to stay. The...

    Warning for those on Merrytime Cruises

    My DD fully believes in Santa but understands that the ones in the mall and stuff aren't the real one, they're his helpers because the big guy is busy at the North Pole. You can explain that the real Mrs. Clause needs to be helping Santa and making cookies for the elves to keep their stamina up...

    Disney Fantasy 2019 July 27 11 Night Southern Caribbean

    Hi! Going on this cruise with DH, kids 10 and 5, and my mom. It's only our 4th Disney cruise. I feel like new cruisers never start with a cruise this long so at only silver we'll be bottom of the heap when it comes to booking. Our last cruise we were concierge so that will be quite a difference...

    Disney Related Clothing

    We cruised about a month ago and wore matching shirts the first day. We also had a family Halloween costume and all dressed up for pirate night. I saw tons of Disney stuff on people the whole time. My favorite was seeing all the dad's walking around in their Disney dad type shirts without a care...

    Picky Eaters

    My 4 year old is crazy picky too. I ended up ordering him the slow roasted chicken breast off the adult lighter fare menu most nights with a side of fries. He likes plain chicken so that worked but he didn't actually eat all that much at dinner. He had plenty to eat throughout the day and I made...

    Cozumel help

    Another vote for the dolphins at Chankanaab. My youngest is only 4 so we did the interaction rather than the swim and it was great. The free lunch and unlimited drinks were great too. (The American style food was meh but the ceviche was delicious.) It was nice to have the whole park to explore...

    Halloween on the Fantasy? - Western Caribbean

    I called the concierge number because we're sailing concierge this time. I would think they would have the same info as the regular customer service but who knows? I forgot to ask them something else so I need to call them back anyway. I can ask them additional questions and report back if you...

    Halloween on the Fantasy? - Western Caribbean

    Well that's annoying. Did your cruise have any additional special days (Marvel etc.) Or unusual weather circumstances that would have affected things? I'd love to see any navigators you might have!

    Halloween on the Fantasy? - Western Caribbean

    Based on past navigators from last year's HOTHS cruises, it's most likely to be Cruise casual Formal Night Halloween Cruise Casual Pirate Night Semi formal night Cruise casual I have planned my outfits so they better not go changing things! I think the only time they combine some of these...

    Do the cruises capture that “Disney magic”?

    I have to agree with everyone else that the cruises go above and beyond the parks in terms of those little magical moments. I will never forget the moment on my first cruise when we just happened upon Tiana strolling along one of the hallways and she sat down and started chatting with my 5 year...

    How much do people REALLY spend on fish extender gifts?

    I was referring to the incidents of rudeness from gift recipients that was referenced in the thread. I think that people who would walk around complaining about the gifts they received, keep track of gifts received on a spreadsheet, track the monetary value of gifts they receive, complain later...
