    What did you all book for Summer 2023? - thoughts on prices?

    The 2022 9-night Med cruise I booked on gold opening day but later cancelled and the 2023 7-night Med cruise I booked this morning were both roughly $1000/night for the same room category. Lost our placeholder discount and FCC switching to next year but we're breaking even because the new...

    Amount of walking?

    I agree with what everyone else said — not nearly as much walking as in the parks, probably not even half unless you make a real effort to get those steps in or are on a walking-heavy excursion. Funny related story: In the summer 2016 I was on the Magic for the...

    Changing 2022 cruise to 2023?

    Because my companion and I do not feel comfortable traveling to Europe this summer.

    Changing 2022 cruise to 2023?

    Returning to answer my own question in case someone else wants to know the same information. I talked with DCL today. Because part of my 2022 booking was covered by the 25% covid FCC, they are unable to transfer any of the funds (even what I paid myself originally) to a new cruise. I had to...

    Name change allowed?

    No. I had to do that a few years ago — friend got a new job and couldn't go on the trip anymore, so a different friend joined me instead and I was able to just change the name on the reservation no problem. That was a couple months before the cruise, so I'm not sure if it's that easy/free...

    Shoes and clothes in Italy/Greece

    Capris below the knee are fine. I *think* just about any length skirt/dress is okay, even if it's above the knee. I've never seen anyone turned away from a church in a skirt, but I have seen folks turned away in shorts even if they covered as much skin (or more) as a skirt would. I don't...

    Shoes and clothes in Italy/Greece

    I can't do tennis shoes when I'm hot — my feet swell up — so for my last Italy trip I got some sandals with good tread and sturdy backs so I could walk easily over surfaces that weren't smooth, which there are a lot of. I typically wore cargo shorts/capris, but since my last big trip...

    Changing 2022 cruise to 2023?

    Good idea! I'll try to get all of the $ figured out this week. Thanks!

    Europe first timers - is a cruise a good way to do it?

    I think cruising is a great way to get a taste of places for the first time, and if you love them you can spend more time there on future trips. Yes, it can feel rushed if you plan long port days, but you also don't have to worry about transportation from city to city, which is a huge stress...

    Changing 2022 cruise to 2023?

    Penalty wouldn't kick in until late May, and the booking window for summer 2023 opens a few weeks before then. Not sure if my FCC still applies. This trip was originally supposed to happen 2020, then got bumped to 2021 and then 2022. I'm guessing the new cruise I want to book will be slightly...

    Changing 2022 cruise to 2023?

    Now that the summer 2023 itineraries have been released, I want to change my 2022 Med cruise to 2023. Do I have to cancel the first one and book a new trip, or can I just transfer the 2022 reservation/payments I already made? This question has probably been asked and answered before but I'm...

    Drive Or Uber

    I always feel like entering from Harbor is faster, and I've read several reports from the past week corroborating that.

    First Time on a Cruise?

    I'm a single adult who almost exclusively travels with other single adults, and we've always had a great time on Disney cruises. For dinner you'll be assigned a table with other adult-only groups; I've been seated with couples who are honeymooning and celebrating anniversaries, friends on...

    solo rider in Star Wars land

    Right?! In the Before Times I was often at the parks solo and didn't mind it one bit. Getting the Falcon to myself sounds like a dream!!

    DLR Admission Procedures

    I'm disappointed to hear that they didn't check every single person's ID, even if it was motivated by optics. Saying the park is only open to CA residents and then seemingly not doing anything to ensure that is irresponsible. I'm paying close attention to how they are or are not enforcing...

    Unpopular Opinions- Wish Edition

    Then you and I get the ship to ourselves 😉 I think they could do the current Hawaii and Mexico itineraries year round, maybe package them with Disneyland, and maintain Alaska in the summer. Expanding the western destinations to South America, especially when it's winter in North America, would...

    Unpopular Opinions- Wish Edition

    This is one of my main concerns. After the initial announcement, which excited me, I saw the deck plans and was disappointed in the seeming lack of "affordable" options. I don't want to break the bank for a 3-4 day cruise. I'd rather splurge on 7+ nights and feel like I'm getting my money's...

    First Time Cruise

    I agree with this. I prefer late seating for dinner (typically 8/8:30 pm) because it feels less rushed. I like going to the early show before dinner and whatever the adult entertainment is after dinner. Watching "Match Your Mate" is my favorite after dinner adult event. I love the Magic and...
