is anyone else concerned about the Disney Dream cruise leaving Friday, September 8th. We live in South Florida and don't know whether to cancel or try to get closer Thursday so we can take cruise if it should go out. We have the Disney cruise line insurance but I don't know how they handle hurricane cancellations and up to what time can you cancel. I've had people tell me they had to go if ship left port or lose their money with previous storms. We also have to figure their coming back to Port Canaveral Monday and what conditions may be in area by then. Please help if you've had any experience with this

Thanks tenpin

Now I have all the info I needed. I think I'll wait til I get on board to book since same package prices are available. That way I can see menus first before making decision

Thanks everyone

Thank you Salve

Happy about the lunch option; however, are any or all of these pay restaurants something we should definitely not miss?

I'm going on the Delizioso in February and was looking at the packages for the pay restaurants: eg Samsara, pizza ,and hamburger combination for $38. My question is can you buy these packages on the ship for the same price and are you guaranteed to be able to get a reservation for them once you've purchased package. Do these restaurants fill up before you get on ship?? Also is there any pizza on ship without an extra charge??:)

Yes it does help ,

I can't seem to activate on website at "my Costa" but will keep trying but at least I know there is a package available. Do you know if they carry any diet sodas?

I'm reading about the problem with soft drinks on ships I'm having so much trouble with their website can anyone tell me if there is a bottled water package or a soft drink package. Due to our health we do not drink alcohol so a drink package would be a total waste of money. The children's package would be fine but it states only to age 18. Thank you for any help!

Does anyone know the name of a culinary school restaurant in Aruba . My cousin went years ago when visiting the island but can't remember the name or location??

Yes, I booked a five day cruise on celebrity out of Miami for $199 balcony. Three days before !! We joined another couple already booked and they couldn't believe the deal. We live in south Florida so always available for last minute cruises! Obviously we had a great time!!

Last time I was on the Divina you had to go to deck 14 to get pool towels - they checked them against your room and you had to bring them back to same location and check them back in - is this antiquated system changed now I hope???

Thanks Skier 52

That's exactly what I wanted to know! I appreciate all your responses as many others do too. You had also given me response on my cabin 13194- less than two weeks for our cruise ! Yippee!!

We understand that children sail free except for taxes and port charges Can you tell me if free children are charged for gratuities on a daily basis and at what rate

Now that I have all this info, I can be at ease . Thanks everyone for all your help

Where can you use coffee card

My daughter booked a solo just recently for Ma rch 19 th Divina sailing- granted it was $300 more for inside cabin but worth it to her to come on family cruise .

She did not book thru MSC however. I'm m not sure if I'm allowed to mention website she went thru but if you give me your email I'll give you info

Just thought you should know that slide on the Divina does not empty out into a pool it ends up on deck so swimming not a concern

Hi Pete,

You already answered me on my present cabin 13194. However it just came to my attention that I can book cabin 11264 with a $600 saving- that's quite substantial - can I have your opinion- would this cabin also have a couch??

Thank you, Debbie

Thanks to everyone

You have certainly enlightened me on quite a few things for kids. I'm sure they'll have a good time and that means I will too

Thanks again,Cruisin Deb

Thanks , Goldenbonny- I'm quite relieved now- you made my day- did you also know anything about Lego program??

Thank you for the info that's terrible! Can children order off regular adult menu ? Is there not even pasta with butter or steak for them?

We are planning trip in March with our grandchildren who will be 8 years old at the time. Please if anyone has copy of dining room menu for kids and any info for buffet choices for kids it would be helpful. I would also like to know how ,when, and where you go to sign children up for cooking classes and if you can do that ahead of time. Also, do they have the Lego program on Divina and what do they actually have? Thank you to anyone that can answer any of my questions

Cruising deb

Thanks Pete and everyone else - they're both great as far as we're concerned

We'll be getting plenty of sun at other times on trip so this shade will be welcomed for reading and some quiet time

Thanks everyone!!!:)

Hi Pete,

I'll thank you ahead of time for any info, opinion, or pictures on 2 out of three cabins we have for March 19 th sailing. Any help would be appreciated. We didn't have many choices , one of which ,no choice being cabin 13203 and the other is cabin 13194. Thanks again

Debbie

I just had a chat with MSC cruise person James. H checked for me if Divina had pool slide as ad reads in my last email today.. His answer was no . I've been on the Divina 3 times in past 14 months and only slide empties out onto deck- not what my grandchildren would enjoy so that knocks out Divona for ou spring family cruise!!

Can children order from adult menu as well as kids menu?

Thanks everyone

You're giving me some hope for my request! I figured it would really be a problem getting a table for two. But everyone's giving me more reason to be positive- thanks again!!!
