Can I ask how you found the food? On the Dis, some people say how disappointed they were - just wanting a balanced view.

The restaurant food is fantastic ...but I have to say that we did find the food a bit of an ordeal on our cruise ! ... just too much of it !

It did not help that we had early dining time of 5.30pm ..and we are late eaters at home. It always seemed that one meal time was running into the next and that we just did not have enough appetite to do it all justice !

We ended up having a light room service breakfast in our rooms (no extra charge - you just have to tip a few $s) just to cut down on the time we were spending eating, and volume we were consuming ! This is a good way to get some hot water (but you have to order it) for your British tea bags if you like a cuppa in bed !

We did a brunch at Palo and it was great food but again a bit of a marathon to fit in.

As well as excellent restaurant food, there are burgers ,chips, hot dogs, pizza, fizzy drinks & icecream virtually on tap all day long, and this did not help the kids' appetities for dinner either !

Sounds like a serious pig-out to me!

Can you get any meals delivered to your room, or just breakfast?

As far as I'm aware you can get room service 24 hrs apart from the last evening and last morning of your cruise... mostly for drinks & snacks though (you do have to pay for alcoholic drinks).

Yes , cruises are best planned well ahead, as the rates rise steadily from their release date (as much as 50% sometimes !), and rarely ever drop in price (they are released roughly 14 months prior to sailing) You can get the rate matched if they do happen to reduce - providing you spot it !.

Also if you book well ahead with DCL ,or a US cruise specialist T/A, that unlike in this country, you can cancel up to 75 days (but please check that exact figure) before sailing, and still get ALL your deposit back, or transfer your booking onto another Disney cruise.

Also, the earlier you book - the better the choice of cabins; so you can ensure you get a location that suits you, and do not end up in a cabin under the ship's night club !

I think DCL food is great, and Palo for brunch or dinner is fab We loved room service too, ordering snacks to eat out on the balcony, but especially ordering early monring coffee to wake us up in the morning...again, drinking that out on the balcony is out of this world!

You can order all sorts of food from room service including, pizzas, soup, burgers, chicken strips, sandwiches & wraps, cookies and doughnuts, cakes of the day, cheese plates, sodas, etc etc all day (and night ) long!

re booking a cruise I would definatley go through a US travel agent, especially with the great dollar rates just now, someone like Dreams, who will then book everything for you

Did you find it too cold/too warm on the cruise? I have read some posts that say there is not enough control of the airconditioning in the rooms and that the restaurants/cinema was cold so bring along a cardigan. Anyone any experience of this?
