Hi, our family is doing a long European dcl cruise this year (12 days). Havent done a Europe cruise nor a long cruise before so have a few questions. If anyone can help it would be much appreciated.
Do they do anything different on the long cruises regarding entertainment/dinners. Or will there be repeat menus at the restaurants.
Does disney tend to follow the scheduled cruise arrival times pretty closely (outside of weather events or emergencies)? Usually i dont want to get off early but with some ports there is a lot I want to pack into the day so would like to depart as early as I can? And does the arrival time refer to the time you are able to start getting off the ship or the time the ship docks? I.e. if I have arrival time of 7am is this when they aim to open doors to passengers or will it be later then that? Also does it take a long time to get off European cruises in the mornings cos everyone has the same idea and wants to leave at once? Most of our port arrival times are 7am.
When do kids clubs tend to open on port days? There are two stops on our Europe cruise where the kids will want to stay on the boat and go to the kids/teens clubs. Do they tend to open same time every day or do they delay them on port days?
Will Palo and Remy be open most port days for brunch or do they tend to close them on most port days? Is it easier to get times to brunch on the longer cruises? Can you book more than once?
Is smoking a problem on European cruises? Always have problems in Europe with people smoking everywhere and just wondering if this is also an issue with the cruise ship?
Any other tips for European/long cruises?
