It is fascinating to watch the show... cruising definitely becomes more glamorous as the show was a hit and the budget increased... more unique shots, more elaborate restaurants and sets...It is amazing how many expenses were made to make cruising seem so glamorous...

Disney, or some other premium cruise line should bring back the midnight buffet... They would be heroes!!! and the ice sculptures too! And officers dining with the folks! Also, they should publish the directory - would be a very elegant touch and easy to do through a smart phone app - could allow people to request permission to message/contact each other or something to that end....

So, are there other cruise lines at the price point that offer: - Turn down service - Really good meals - A family friendly environment including nursery care for infants (this has been a huge thing in Disney's favor for us for right now in our lives) I'm not a cheerleader, just asking.... Very sad to hear that your relatives may have some kind of addiction/need for therapy.

DCL is expensive, but if you book early and use the placeholders it softens the blow... We were able to book 3 times on DCL and the way we were looking at it, that we could make the price work relatively well compared to RCCL. But now after a few DCL cruises, we are hooked... The service, the kindness, it is all wonderful.

We have been watching some old videos from the lines.... Super beautiful and elegant buffets that they used to have at midnight.... It is very sad that these midnight buffets have gone away.... I also hate how MDR food has declined to inedibility on RCL based on recent reviews - and tried to force you into premium dining.

It is also the amenities that cater to families.... As much as people can complain about disney, they still do turndown service - that is a huge advantage for families. We have done DCL twice - both post-pandemic.... Way better food than RCL... Nursery is also very nice, very few cruise lines offer that feature for infants.

We were on the Allure last June. Had an incredible time. Glad to hear nothing has changed. We won’t be cruising for a little while now, but would strongly consider an Allure trip in the future.
