About us

DH and me, 40s, and DS, 8. This was our fifth cruise, DS's third, and we have previously been on Carnival, Seabourn, and Disney. Our last cruise was in a DCL concierge suite-- we enjoy being spoiled on our vacations. Although we used to be big partiers, with a kid you have a different schedule, and we find that we are very low key on our trips now, so you won't get a great review of the nightlife from us! Plus, with a cabin like 17004, you find that you aren't as driven to leave your room!! A couple of caveats-- I suspect our experience was very much colored by how fantastic the Courtyard area is, and our cruise was nowhere near full, with only 3400 passengers and 500 kids.

Cabin Review

Deluxe Owner's Suite

Cabin H2

Best cabin ever!! Wrap-around views on front and port side of ship. Rooms are larger than they look on a certain website where you can upload your personal videos. Living/dining area is very generously sized, bar area is large and well set-up with the excellent Lavazza espresso machine. Master BR has more walking space around king-sized bed than any cabin I have ever had, plus windows on three sides and sliding door to balcony, which is HUGE with two lounge chairs and a set of two chairs with table-- and room to spare. Main bath is enormous, at front of ship with massive windows, huge tub up against the glass, two sinks, vanity area, enclosed toilet. Half-bath is generously sized. Huge walk-in closet with dressing area for two people. Very quiet as it is at the end of the hall, with a private entrance, and at the top of the ship. Movement was generally calm with occasional lurching and shuddering in weather. Access to Courtyard area and all amenities, which are excellent.
