Got off the DCL Fantasy last week and I’M SOLD on DCL. It was the Best Cruise Ever! Yes, I already bought the bounceback on board and booked the exact same cruise in January 2027. Dining room food was adequate, but every other aspect of our shipboard experience was fantastic. Well done, Captain Minnie.

Glad you had a magical time! Your Norwegian fjords trip sounds amazing!

There was the Disney Difference from the moment we stepped on board to CM applause and walked upstairs in the atrium to greet our old friend Mickey! I was sold in that moment which gave the same feeling as walking up Main Street USA.

Other highlights were a fantastic cabin steward, free room service breakfast on the balcony every morning, a fabulous brunch at Remy with a charming French waiter, seeing the Frozen show twice in the big theater, and catching Toy Story 5 in the movie theater. Plus a lovely day at Castaway Cay!

Um so where are the DCL Fall 2027 cruise itineraries? Did I miss them? I’ve been waiting patiently but it’s getting late!

Jumping to the bottom to ask: which cruise lines/shops are good for teens? I’m considering NCL Viva.

We don’t want DCL, Carnival or Royal Caribbean.

I don’t have enough experience to answer your question, but we have a Royal Caribbean reservation for next year that will include some teens, so I’m curious why you don’t want RCL and if there is anything I need to watch out for.

I’m not sure how it would be for teens but they do have a teen room and free-style dinning. The FS dinning would be GREAT for a teenage boy and their bottomless stomachs :wink: We did a 15 day transatlantic w/ NCL and really liked it. We liked it better than DCL b/c it was smaller, less crowded, had free-style dinning instead of assigned dinner tables. The cruise seemed to be set up more for those that liked night life but we were very happy.

I’m waiting too. When I’ve booked these in the past, they were out as early as end of June but they’ve always been out well before the end of July.

Oh, it’s just that I’ve been on RCL before (twice, actually). We had a great time! The only thing I didn’t love was all the constant add-ons that felt a bit nickel-and-dimey… I guess that’s pretty standard for the industry, but it didn’t feel as excessive on DCL or Carnival.

Free style dining sounds great! :+1:

Day one of our DCL cruise was just as bad as RCCL. I just thought the staff was better on RCCL than DCL. We may have had bad luck with having just gotten a very fresh bunch of CMs though. Disney seems to be moving their best CMs to the newer ships, leaving us with a bunch of CMs who often didn’t seem to know what they were doing.

None of it was bad though.

The only thing I didn’t like about DCL was all the ā€œadult onlyā€ areas. Not the best when you have little kids.

I got an email the same day you posted this saying ā€œnew days addedā€ so I thought it was new iteniraries. It was more dates eligble for discounts. :neutral_face:

Same! Hopefully we get some real news soon. :face_with_diagonal_mouth:

I’m wondering if they are moving ships around so they are saving it to have something to announce at D23 this weekend?
