SP, YES! This is what I'm talking/concerned about. Likely this was the SAME type of $1K flying model - including GoPro hanging underneath. See how they just FLY over major roadways without any cause for concern??? Disney will soon be on the watch. I can not see them at all allowing this...

Are you an R/C modeler? I'll stand by my comments as being a developer; sponsored pilot and avid responsible flyer of ALL types of R/C models that leave the ground. Poor judgment and high risk was exercised by this person. And YES regulate it IF folks won't consider the safety issues as well...

Would I like the opportunity to fly and record airborne video at the Disney properties? YES. Will I try it on my own less any authorization/approval? NO WAY! I know better. The vantage points and perspective of these types of videos are very neat but the cause can’t justify the means and...

SP, You just brought it to light is all. I'm actually surprised he was not stopped by DCL on the ship. BUT was he a CM? Doubtful... Praise only "enables" more irresponsible videos. Just remember the next time you may be at a little league ball game or some outdoor event where something...

Actually nothing good will come of this. The person who “stowed away” this model did not have permission nor insurance if anything went wrong to fly such a radio controlled model. It shows a total lack of responsibility of a person who has about $1000.00 to spend on a credit card who THINKS...

Yes the pics of your adventure/cruise and family are awesome! Your details-report is very enjoyable too. Always thought of zip-lining...seems very neat to try. Shame the snorkel excursion was a bust... Great stuff! BTW, what is that you don't like about CC food? What area? MAIN beach or...

My thoughts were that "IT WAS" on both fronts -- FP's and advanced bookings. Both are now spilled milk at this point since both must now be used differently by patrons vs. how they were being used before. AND it impacts ALL OF US. Folks who used the systems less gaming or abuse - well those...

Nice report. Great looking family, hope ya'll had fun! Was wondering about the new nav app...figured DCL would block outgoing messaging...that's why they offer PAID access right? Least you got it up and working. Looking forward to this feature/app on our next DREAM cruise May2014. Maybe...

Guess it depends on how often "placeholders"/"dummies" were modified and root cause - as to if it is abuse or not? Maybe... I don't dismiss just like the old FP use where folks would gather up passes all day and run from ride to ride later in the day and pay no attention to their RETURN HOUR...

I get a bit of what you say Chad. Our first cruise we booked thru MJ. We got some sort of discount I’m sure vs. the DCL website. Past that we have booked while on-board for our next cruise(s). Then turned over the reservation to MJ once we got back on land for them to maintain for us. That...

Place holder/Dummies, whatever you want to call it. Yes abused by some…not by the majority of return cruisers but likely enough to cause DCL booking nightmares for capacity forecasts as people continue to MOVE and MOVE out their dates. We’ve never done it that way. Just booked onboard for the...

Agreed... Won’t deter us from choosing a veranda. The morning breakfasts and sights and sounds while sitting outside make it all worth the while. Sure I’ll miss the evening cigar with the customary glass of wine but I’ve enjoyed them on the deck in the adult area/smoking side just the same...

Unlike some other cruise lines, DCL does use fresh water in their pools. We did see on one of tour videos available on the TV's in the staterooms that they produce their own fresh water onboard. That itself is very very neat!

Neat stuff! Here's a free idea to DCL for their theme'ing... Make the kiddy pools self cleaning or QUICK MT / QUICK FILL so when lazy parents don't give their kid’s regular bathroom/potty breaks and they "do-do" in the pool(s) the area is not closed for a long time and inconveniences other...

Tammy, Didn't DCL offer 2 trips to Castaway Cay on their 7 day cruises? We looked at the book when we were on board the DREAM this past May to book our cruise next year and we didn't see any with 2 trips to Castaway Cay. They changed that? Days at sea are nice but 2 visits to CC during the...
