    What sets Disney cruises above other cruise lines?

    The Vista is of course brand new............she better be sailing almost full or Carnival has another problem.

    Seems a possible 2nd DCL island is more then a umour!

    The only thing I can think of in answer to your question is that when the writer of the article said *cruise ship terminal*, they meant a slip and dock like CC.

    What sets Disney cruises above other cruise lines?

    Morning EOD. You are right rust/ this heavy scale, shows more on a white hull, however I have seen many well kept and painted white hull and you as you mentioned, saw the solution..DCL maintenance. That amount of rust and scale is not only lack of maintenance, it is more They didn't give a dam...

    What sets Disney cruises above other cruise lines?

    Hi Dave,,,,,,, No line is perfect............none............my point was originally that 1 light after new construction, is not a *not ship shape* issue. You saw the light, but no other passengers seemed to have found it. I would guess they needed the yard to send a unit out to the ship. It...

    What sets Disney cruises above other cruise lines?

    Hi Chuck....... OK...........its not indicated in his post...my error.. However one missing light fixture still doesn't mean the ship is unseaworthy or not ship shape. The DCL vessel are noted as having twice the lighting as other cruise vessels, another reason they stand out so nicely at...

    What sets Disney cruises above other cruise lines?

    Sounds like a passenger wanted a prize to take home, Yet one missing light fixture is far from unseaworthy or poorly maintained. Now the poor condition shown below on the Carnival Valor......if they let things go that badly, with heavy rust and scale over large areas..........one has to wonder...

    Branching out! Not stepping down! NCL rocked our socks!

    Seems NCL is making another (another of many over the last year or so). cut back by stopping passengers all soda/beverages from being brought on board the cruises. It has the NCL fans totally ticked off! AKK

    What sets Disney cruises above other cruise lines?

    All of the above and Disney Magic and Pixie Dust as the whole product, the superior designed, and built vessels with the classic lines and feel, the art deco and Nuevo deco feel and just enough Disney touches to bring a smile to peoples faces. A ship crew that is excellent and the best trained...

    Cost of Cruise is crazy

    Except you forgot, the liner style and classic design of the vessels, the attention to detail, theaters and public rooms that bring you back to the 30's, 40's and 50's. The fireworks, Staterooms with wave phones to keep tack of each other, the magic port holes, with large portholes and some...

    A continued thread on Carnival and Disney.

    Looking at Carnival Inc. lines, especially Carnival line, the many accidents, breakdowns, fires, sinking, vessel operation rules, office operation etc,.etc, I will never take my family on a carnival vessel across th harbor never mind to sea. It s just not worth it.
