Everyone stays the age they were when the cruise sailed even if they have a birthday during the cruise, unless they go to guest services to ask for a change. They will not kick your kid out midcruise.

Sorry, I skipped the part in your post about docking in Ft Lauderdale. Yes, the process is the same outside of PC.

In Miami, DCL uses disembarkation groups. If you want to leave ASAP, without having to rely on them assigning you a low group based on the departure info you provide, you can keep your luggage and use express walk-off. If everything goes according to schedule, the process begins at 7:30 AM...

I would not read too much into it. A few times, we've received a quick response a few hours after sending in our request email with a confirmation that our requests were received and that things that did not involve limited bookings (rotation, location of the table, items in the room...) would...

If you are looking on the DCL website, the search engine will only show a limited number of staterooms in the category you picked, going by ascending cabin number. Since all the starboard side cabins have higher numbers, they often do not show up on the site if there are plenty of staterooms...

It depends on how full your muster station is. There are more beds assigned to each muster station than the number of passengers it can legally allow. When a station is full, you can’t add passengers or even book an empty room assigned to it. You need to call DCL to ask about your specific...

The only restriction on concierge bookings is that any deposit made is non-refundable, but it is transferable. As long as you are modifying your reservation(s), you can do everything you mention. Logically, through all the steps you mention, the larger deposit would be the initial one, so you...

When you modify your reservation before the cruise, all passengers are charged the current (higher) rate for the new room, like if it was a new reservation. When you upgrade at the port, you are charged based on the starting and target rooms, regardless of the number of passengers. If in a...

Yes, but that’s a very rare occurrence on regular cruises. And the only thing it will imply is that most staterooms (because of possible lifeboat capacity issues preventing them from selling some staterooms) have at least two guests in them. It will most likely happen on one-time cruises, and...

As @lanejudy mentioned, unlike other cruiselines where most cabins only sleep 2 or 3 guests, most staterooms on DCL accommodate 4 or 5 guests. Therefore, with the same number of staterooms sold, you could have up to twice the amount of guests on a specific cruise. Every bit of verifications you...

DCL does not offer a discount on Hyatt rooms, but rather a flat-rate that does not vary based on availability, unlike the Hyatt website. If visiting at a popular period, the DCL rate will probably be cheaper but it could be cheaper to book through Hyatt if travelling at a low period. You cannot...

We’ve done Disney Springs and resort hoping a few times after stepping off the plane around 10AM and dropping our bags at the Hyatt. We like to finish the evening on the bridge between BLT and CR to watch the MK fireworks, or on the beach at PR, before taking a cab back.

Unlike when you upgrade online, the price at port is not based on the number of passengers in your stateroom but simply as a ratio between your starting and end staterooms. They have a grid and quote the price shown where both lines intersect. That grid is secret and we don’t know if there are...

I saw in this day-1 review video that you can get some tickets for 79$. I find the review fair and balanced.

PP said they’re not willing to drive. Sitting in a train for the same period of time is much less stressful or tiring. As for shuttles, PP seems to be from Orlando so they can park at the station and you can pre-arrange the 10 minute Uber ride to Miami port directly when you buy your train...

A rapid train is available to take you from Orlando to Miami beginning Sept 22 for 99$ one-way.

It seems the beloved/hated teacups are no more.

While someone has recently mentioned doing the Animation Magic show on a shorter cruise, historically, Animation Magic has not been offered on cruises where all guests cannot enjoy it. Since it takes 6 nights or more for this to happen, it was usually not offered on 5-nights cruises. The only...

That’s only true if you do not get bumped up to a higher category. Most GTY bookings end up with the specific category booked, since those bookings are offered when just a few staterooms in a specific category are left, but if they ‘upgrade’ your booking, only the category is taken into account...

The 6-months validity rule, where it exists, usually does not apply to cruise passengers.
