I am sailing on the Wish in two weeks and was wondering if they are still selling the towel animal plushies? I’ve been seeing them on the Treasure posts from people but wasn’t sure if they were still avail.

My wife and I are big college football fans and we were really excited that our 1/18 Dream Cruise would overlap this year’s championship game; some of our friends had been on a cruise during a previous championship game and DCL had funnel vision show it and they had snacks/booze available.

So tonight I’m reviewing past itineraries and it seems like night 3, Cancun, would be Pirate Night. That said, does it seem likely they’d swap Pirate Night to allow guests to watch the championship game on funnel vision (we have been told this is done often for big games), or does the Pirate party win?

Not complaining, we love Pirate Night too ;)

hi guys, its gonna be my first time on a cruise to alaska and im just wondering would i be able to find any snow during these months? and if there is, where? sorry just curious cause i have not seen snow yet in my life and i just wanna know what it feels like

Does Disney guest services break $20 on the ship?

Looking into our first cruise with ZERO knowledge. What are the most important things to consider? No idea how to get the most bang for our buck in terms of ship, port, nights, etc.

Hi all, planning our very first cruise! We will be going on the Magic for 4 nights in April. Looking to save money on our pre-cruise hotel. Does anyone recommend any hotels close to the airport and terminal that offers both airport and cruise port shuttles? Will do Uber/taxi if necessary but the car seat becomes an issue.

Thank you!!

Can I exchange my old style beer mug from the Wish for a new Treasure mug or is it only usable on the Wish again? Wasn't sure because the mugs are different looking on the Treasure.

Our family has been on three Disney cruises in the last four months (Wish, Fantasy, and Treasure) and, needless to say, we are addicted!

We have booked our fourth and fifth Disney cruises as back-to-back sailings on the Wish in March (three night and then a four night; same stateroom) and we would love to know any tips and tricks that we can take advantage of from others that have done back to back sailings on the same Disney vessel.

Thank you!

I was thinking about booking a Cruise on the Magic. How is the Wifi on the ship? How much do they charge each day for gratuities? TY!

Also if anyone knows if they have a dairy free soft serve alternative?

We are sailing next Thursday on the Fantasy from Port Canaveral, but we booked super last-minute so our PAT is 1:45-2:00. We are local and driving over that morning.

Before we did our check-in, we were browsing the app and Mixology popped up on embarkation day at 2:00! (Y’all know how hard it is to get that!) Thing is, I can’t imagine that we’ll make it through check-in (even as Platinum), onto the ship, and over to wherever it’s being held in 15 minutes or less. We called DCL and were told that they cannot adjust the PAT ahead of time but that we could show up to the port early and ask if they would let us in sooner.

We know and understand the purpose and importance of PATs and boarding groups and all that. We are definitely not trying to be Karen & Chad who think they should be allowed to board early just because they want to. We’re only even thinking about it because we have that onboard event, which we hate to cancel because we’ve not been able to snag it on prior cruises.

Now for the questions:

1. We are boarding group 27. Do they ever get ahead of the PATs with boarding groups and would that enable us to enter the terminal sooner?

2. Has anyone ever tried to enter ahead of your PAT in a situation like this? What was your experience?

3. If we aren’t successful in boarding earlier and miss Mixology as a result, do you think they would refund us (or not charge us to begin with)? (Other instances during the sailing are sold out, so we don’t expect rescheduling to be an option.)

What would you do? Appreciate any insight or recommendations you may have as to our best course of action!

Has anyone rented bikes at Lookout Cay recently? I read that they weren’t available when it first opened, but can’t seem to find recent updates about it.

If anyone has rented them; is there much to see? Can you go explore past the Disney area? Any other tips?

Me and my wife loved our first DCL voyage on the Wish so much we are dedicated DCL cruisers. We now want to try out the Magic as we wanna see what the OG Disney ship is like. Any suggestions for onboard activities? Thank you in advanced!

My wife and I are on the 2/22 sailing of the Treasure and splurged on a concierge room. I emailed the concierge to see about getting her a cake on her birthday and they just referred me to the standard onboard gifts website. They're cute cakes, but only come in chocolate or yellow and I was really hoping to get her a carrot cake - even just a slice. I was surprised the concierge team wasn't more helpful because they were AMAZING on our Alaskan cruise.

Any suggestions on how I can surprise her with some carrot cake on her birthday?

My wife and I ( and now two of our best friends) are sailing out April 18th over Easter and then spending a few days in the parks. We have cruises before, but this will be our first DC

Couple questions:

1. How is the Marvel dining experience
2. Thoughts on the Hyperspace lounge
3. I know there are a lot of activities all around, what are some that you found were the best for an adult centered group
4. Theme nights - thoughts on dressing up / bounding (we have done DapperDays and also fortunate enough for Star Cruiser)

Thanks in advance.

I'm solo sailing on the Treasure next month (my 2nd cruise ever) and decided to treat myself to to the Luxury at Sea package; mostly for the robe but also kind of for the bottle of sparkling wine. I have two questions as a someone who is still a relative newbie at cruising.

1. What time are the departure day gifts typically delivered to staterooms? Are the ones with alcohol subject to any special rules (other than the guest needing to be in the room for delivery)?

2. While I could drink and entire bottle in one go I plan on bringing a wine stopper to portion it out across departure day. Are the stateroom fridges large enough to get the bottle in? I'm staying in a non-concierge verandah room.

Are there any pictures of time that sleep 5?

I can't find pictures that show all 3 of the single beds down.

Thanks!

My family and I will be traveling a couple of days ahead of time and I was wondering what hotels I can get picked up from on the DCL bus? We got a later port arrival time and I heard of you get there on a bus they let you in right away. It’s our first cruise and we’re very excited to get on the ship early with our little ones to explore.

I booked an upcoming Disney Wish cruise and chose the deluxe oceanview veranda stateroom option. Haven't been on a cruise in many years and don't know too much about the disney ones. I picked a level 7 category 5c room in the aftship that's one away from the mid-ship. Is this an okay room in terms of motion sickness and noise? What should I be looking for in finding a room that's quiet and doesn't have too much motion?

First time cruiser here, I see they released onboard gifts and some have sold out… a couple questions. Hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance.

1. do they release more onboard gifts for the cruise or once they are sold out? They are done.
2. do they add different items to purchase closer to the cruise date? Currently see 77 items and we are about 50 days out.
3. I am attending Marvels Day at Sea… I read on some posts they have in-room decor related to Marvels Day at Sea… is this something they add later on the site? Or does every room get decorated for Marvels day free of charge… slightly confused here…

We’re staying at the MCO Hyatt airport the night before our cruise and then using DCL transportation from the hotel to the port the morning of the cruise. Our kids will be 6, 3 and 9 months old. Is it true they don’t allow car seats? I’m most concerned for the 9 month old since he’s rear facing. Anyone have any insights?

Like the title says, I'm curious to know whether the concierge experience (embarkation and debarkation) is any different compared to Terminal 8? Going on the Wish in April :)

Does Disney Wish have starlink now, or the most expensive internet plan still has abysmal speed?

My wife is not a fan of crowds or waiting in lines. Its for that purpose (and my own curiosity) that we booked concierge on an upcoming WISH sailing. Is it fair to expect some form of exclusivity or higher level of service? We're not divas but certainly prefer to be catered too. Is there also bar service (I understand its a cost) available throughout the day? We have a four year old who will also be with us and I want to make sure (as a Dad) I'm keeping everyone happy. Will there be stuff for him to do in the lounge without it being a bother to other guests? Being on a cruise...I don't want him to be on an iPad the whole time.

This will be my kids and I first cruise. I was looking at the weather and it’s going to be in the high 60s and cloudy. Which seems to cold for port activities, (we had snorkeling at lookout, and blue lagoon at Nassau). Has anyone been on Bahamas cruise and it was to cold to do anything, what did you do?

I’m guessing I should cancel these activists, or should I wait until we get on the ship?

We recently did our first DCL cruise on the Wish and loved it! Besides it being a 4 night cruise and feeling like we didn’t have enough time 😅 We definitely will cruise again but I’m curious what ship everyone likes the most.

I know there are Wish haters and Magic lovers but I’m not sure if our family would necessarily like downsizing. But my toddler keeps seeing videos of maybe the Wonder? That has the Toy Story play area in the Oceaneer club and says she wants to go on that boat. Just curious to hear everyone’s opinions!

I am booked (with family) on DCL Mediterranean cruise in the spring. My fare is coming due- decent chunk of money- $10K ish. Deposit (around $2K) has already been paid. I am wondering how best to pay the balance to get maximum points. Payment is due Jan 31 and I am hesitant to apply for a new card unless there is overwhelming reason to do so. I already have Capital One Venture (standard version I think). I have a Costco executive membership with their Citibank Visa. The trip was not booked through Costco though, so I am not sure using their card helps at this point. I have two Southwest CCs (one Performance business and one Priority personal). Anyone have experience with this and can give advice on how to maximize savings or points from purchase? Also on separate note, what is best travel insurance option? Buy through Disney or elsewhere? Thanks in advance
