For some reason I wasn't getting updates from your report, so here I am catching up!
Glad to hear your family is safe from the storm, and that you got your power back!
I love the Port Canaveral terminal. My Dad and I have gone out of Miami and Galveston, and I highly recommend just taking a cruise out of Port Canaveral. We have had pretty bad experiences in the other terminals.
My Dad and I have cruised quite a bit (on
DCL and other cruise lines) to the point we know that we won't get the welcome aboard photo. I think we took it our first couple of DCL cruises, but we now pass it. We are always to excited to get onto the ship lol.
We also have started to go to the dining room (usually at the back of the ship) that is offering lunch instead of going up to Cabanas since it usually isn't as crowded as Cabanas. Every time we have done that, it has been a brunch style as well.
I have never been in the kids clubs, but some of the rooms look awesome. I really wish my parents would have taken me on a DCL cruise as a kid.
Looking forward to the rest of your Trip Report! I'm enjoying reading it!
