    Request for Wish pictures?

    I'm going to be touring the Wish in a couple weeks. (Not sailing, just an afternoon tour before it leaves port.) I've never been on the Wish, so I'm personally excited, but if there's anything in particular that you'd like to see, please post it here and I'll do my best to get a shot for you.

    Disney Magic and the Big Easy

    My family sailed on the Magic for a 4-night cruise, which departed from New Orleans on January 31. I don't have a traditional trip report, because I didn't take detailed notes. But I'll highlight a few things that we liked and a few that we didn't and then I'll share pics. Our group was my...

    Sailing out of New Orleans

    I just booked on the Magic, sailing from New Orleans in January. Any tips for must-do activities in town before we board? Hotel recommendations? (Anybody else sailing on 1/31/24?)

    Whale hunting in the Faroe Islands (may be distressing for some readers)

    This was in the news last week. I'm sharing it only because I was on a DCL sailing in 2015 and the Faroe Islands were on the itinerary when we booked. However, the stop was removed from the itinerary and was replaced with Kirkwall, Scotland. And I'm sure that it was replaced for EXACTLY this...

    Park reservations going away?

    A travel agent told me that park reservations will no longer be required as of January 9, 2024. I can't find any announcement from Disney about it. Anybody have any insight?

    Non-Disney news

    Unfortunate for Princess, but the Ruby Princess made "unexpected contact" with the pier in San Francisco today. Oops. (Obviously, the photo is not mine.)

    Sailing like a Celebrity -- a non-DCL cruise report

    Our most recent cruise was aboard the Celebrity Summit from May 6-15, 2023. Our travel party was myself, my wife Kathryn, and my mother-in-law Dale. We sailed in a Concierge Balcony stateroom. (This was the only balcony option available to us when we made our reservation.) We visited Martha's...

    I've already entered!!

    Yes, the layout is weird, and yes, it's way overpriced. But if you're giving me 4 nights for free, I'll take it! https://disneycruiselinelittlemermaidsweepstakes.com/

    Not sure how I should feel. . .

    I just downloaded the Celebrity Cruise app to my phone. I feel dirty.

    Electrical fire on the Wonder

    During the Pirate Night celebration on the night before Thanksgiving, one of the Funnel Vision speakers caught fire, causing Decks 9 and 10 to be evacuated. https://www.cruisemapper.com/news/11162-fire-breaks-out-disney-wonder

    One quick poll question

    I took a ton of food pictures on our cruise in April. Does anybody have a strong opinion on how they should be shared? I can just put them in the DCL Pic of the Day thread. Or we can give them their own thread. Curious if anybody cares.

    I know this is a DCL forum, but here's a Celebrity story

    I thought some folks might like to see that Celebrity is eliminating the "single supplement" for more than 275 itineraries in Europe, Caribbean, and Alaska through the early part of next year. https://cruisefever.net/cruise-line-eliminates-single-supplement-on-over-275-cruises-through-march-2023/

    GTY story ends well

    Just thought I'd share this story. We're booked on a back-to-back on the Dream next month. For the first leg, we booked a 4E aft balcony. For the second leg, I booked a guarantee for the same category. The price was great, and since I was booking the same category, I was hoping that we could...

    Another non-DCL cruise report: Royal Clipper, Jan. 22, 2022

    This was a 7-night sailing on the Royal Clipper (operated by Star Clippers), which departed from Bridgetown, Barbados on Jan. 22, 2022. My wife and I traveled with a small group of friends. It was the first time that anyone in our group had been to Barbados, and for me, it was actually the...

    Bippity-Boppity open yet?

    For anyone who has sailed Dream or Fantasy since the re-start (including, but not limited to @twall0415 and @SplashZander ), has Bippity-Boppity Boutique re-opened? I'm hearing conflicting reports and someone we're sailing with wants to know. Thanks.

    We want to make our Palo dinner plans for Pirate Night, but I can't remember which night that will be on a 4-night sailing. Is it the day at sea?

    Serenity Bay Cabanas

    Are there really only 6 cabanas at Serenity Bay? They're already sold out for my April 22 sailing. But I thought there were more than 6.
