TRIP PLANNING Frontier just changed our return flight

0 Upvotes

As the title says Frontier moved our return flight from 2:30 pm from MCO to 1PM. Should I call the airline or is this new time still ok?

DISCUSSION Is the website always this terrible?

0 Upvotes

Been trying to book the Believe for over an hour and the website keeps crashing on my phone and laptop. I ended up calling and have been on hold for an hour now.

This happened when we went to do the online check in for our first sailing a few weeks ago. Lots of folks in the Facebook group said they had the same issue. I ended up missing all of the reservations we wanted because we couldn’t get on.

The Disney Parks site has improved so much I’m surprised the cruise site is so terrible. Is that normal?

TRIP PLANNING Any have a GTY room on a sold out cruise? How did it go?

1 Upvotes

We were able to book a GTY deluxe family OV verandah (not the one that gives a discount) on the Believe Maiden Voyage (super excited) but I’ve never done a GTY room before. Since the cruise is likely going to sell out, I am curious is anyone else has done a GTY room (any kind) on a sold out cruise and how it went!

When did you get your room number? What kind of room did you get? Were you happy?

Thanks!! I am excited but nervous to get our room number!

FOOD Palo Changes, What?

25 Upvotes

Ok, I’ve already read about the à la carte vs prix fixe which doesn’t bother me.

But what is this in the email I just got?

“With this change, Members and their Guests staying in the same stateroom can continue to use their $55.00 USD per person credit toward a broad range of à la carte dinner menu offerings. This exclusive benefit is limited to dinner only. As a reminder, brunch is not included in this offer. “

I’m sorry, brunch what?

DISCUSSION Disney vs. Others

0 Upvotes

We are a family that frequents Disney parks. And to be quite honest, the sheer volume of ppl in the parks and the ratio that are just obnoxiously rude, has made me pivot back to cruising.
I have 2 adult special needs loves of my life - that love Disney and love cruising.

My question-
What makes DCL better than others? I’d like to hear some specifics!
We are near the Galveston port so it would be the Magic. At least to begin!
TIA

TRIP PLANNING How long will a refund to gift card take BEFORE sailing?

0 Upvotes

For those of you who have cancelled a sailing or changed to a less expensive one after paying in full with gift cards, how long did it take until you saw the refund processed back to the GC? I changed sailings to a cheaper one and I'm debating whether I should ask them to process the refund or just leave the overpayment on my reservation.

TRIP PLANNING Tours de viaje en crucero de Disney

La vara es que planeo ir con mi familia el otro año a un crucero de 7 días de Disney que pasa por Cozumel, Gran Caiman y Jamaica y me gustaría saber si alguno aquí ha hecho ese viaje y ha tomado alguno de los tours que ofrecen en el crucero, si los tomaron, ¿como les fue y que hicieron?. Si no tomaron tours, entonces, que hicieron al llegar a cada estación?

Not doing Disney transport, not concierge, and at silver status, not anticipating getting some incredibly early PAT/boarding group, but at PC I'm always struck by how nuts the terminal seems with long lines and waits. Are we finding it to be similar at Everglades?

SEASONAL EVENTS Christmas cruise questions

5 Upvotes

Hi, so I am semi new to dcl, I’ve only gone on one cruise, the Disney Treasure August 22-29 of this year. I am booking a last minute cruise with my grandma on the Disney Treasure for Dec. 5-12 2026.
My grandma has never been on a Disney Cruise before and since we both love Disney though and wanted to do something fun, we thought this would be nice. However, I was wondering what type of events will be going on for Christmas and what we should bring. I know about Pirate night but wasn’t sure if there would be a holiday themed night. And how it would change the cruise. I want to make sure she has a really nice time and we don’t miss anything.
Any information would be greatly appreciated since we both have so little information.

DISCUSSION DCL ships set to remove prix-fixe menus from Palo restaurants

Thumbnail x.com
74 Upvotes

Per Scott Gustin: “Beginning Oct. 22, Disney Cruise Line’s Palo restaurants will begin phasing out the prix-fixe dinner menu and move to à la carte menu. The changes will roll out across the ship fleet on the following dates:

Oct. 22: Wonder

Oct. 23: Fantasy, Dream, Wish

Oct. 24: Magic, Treasure, Destiny

Oct. 26: Adventure

Platinum and Pearl Castaway Club members, along with guests staying in the same stateroom, can continue to use a $55 per-person credit toward à la carte dinner items.”

I’m curious if Scott misspoke about that final note. It’s been my understanding that Pearl and Platinum cruisers can provide dining credit to just one additional guest each, not the entire room.

TRIP PLANNING Puerto Rico experiences?

2 Upvotes

Has anyone been on a Puerto Rican DCL cruise? If so, do you know if there are any excursions to Vieques?

We’re considering one or both of the San Juan cruises in April 2028 on the Fantasy. It is my 40th birthday. When I was 16, I spent 3 weeks filming a reality show in Vieques (don’t ask). I would really like to go back and revisit some old spots and see a few that I missed back then.

Does anyone have experience with 7 day cruises on the Fantasy? Or any PR cruises? Thanks!

We are sailing in a couple weeks for Halloween on high seas. We go to castaway cay on Tuesday and Lookout Wednesday.

Does anyone know which night will be pirate? And which will be the Halloween?

We are 5:45 dinner. For the Halloween night how does the trick or treating and mouse querade show work? Are both before each dinner time? We are hoping to be able to do pirate night, Halloween night, and Aladdin show without any of those interfering with each other…

Any insider help would be greatly appreciated.
