POTD - Disney Cruise Line

I don't know how many of us have had the chance to go on a DCL trip, but it has become a fast (and expensive) favorite of mine. ;

 

I haven't been on one yet, but I'm considering their Alaska cruise. Has anyone been on this one?

 

• we are booked on the first alaska cruise leaving vancouver bc, on 5/3/11. this will be the very first dcl alaskan cruise,
  
• our 5th dcl cruise
• 2005, wonder, 4 day bahama
• 2006, magic, eastern carribbean
• 2007, magic, 1st med cruise, from barcelona spain
• 2008, magic, fla to la, via panama canal

 

Mine too, John. This time, last week, I was sitting on the beach at Castaway Cay. ; This week, it's back to the old grind. ; I'd like a rewind please.

I'll be on the Magic 6 weeks from today for our 1st cruise!!! I can't wait!!!

 

Jealous of you Dave! ; We still have not done anything more than 4 days on DCL. ; Doing a 5 day Double Dip to Castaway Cay next July and hope to do a 7 day in the summer of 2012, but not sure if they will be offered in that summer. ; Hoping that there will be. ;

Gary, I wish we could do the Alaskan cruise, just not in our budget yet. ;

Roni, saw those shots the other day, still love em!! ; Did you take the one of the ship on the path out to the Heads Up Bar?

 

This one? ; Yep. ; I took them all. ; And I am having a tough time deciding if I want to do Alaska or a double dip cruise next, myself. ; Totally different vacations...and I loved Castaway Cay SO much, but Alaska has been calling me a really long time....

Love that shot Roni!!!!

Here is one for today!!

 

We try Oct 2nd at 8am to get a spot on the Dream for the 2011 DVC member cruise! ; Roni, go for Alaska! ; Best non-Disney vacay ever!

 

Cool shots!!!

 

Does the DCL Alaska trips include Glacier Bay?

 

Unfortunately, no, Michael. ; Disney does not sail into Glacier Bay, which is my biggest hangup right now. ; Princess and Holland American do, and they also have cruisetours that take you deep into Denali..which is something I really want to do.

But we can sail on points with Disney. ; It's such a tough call. ; Alaska may very well be a once in a lifetime trip, so I really want to squeeze in as much as possible. ;

Here's my POTD:

That's what I thought. ; I'm not a fan of cruises, but I think an Alaskan cruise would be neat. ; The problem is that I have a goal of photographing all 58 National Parks, and there are 8 of them in Alaska, so any trip out there for me would have to include trips to the parks.

 

Not to mention a chest full of cash!!! ; That would be one incredible trip!!!!

 

Oops, forgot my one for today!

My first DCL trip and first time seeing the Dutchman, using a $94 point and shoot.

 

Steamboat Willie's last stand...swim

 

very nice Chris and JB

 

In all the times I have snorkled at Castaway Cay I do not remember that one! ; Nice!
