Culinary Classes at Contemporary Resort at Walt Disney World

If you can't find something from the 500 other things you can do at Walt Disney World, they recently added another option for fun.  You can now take a culinary class with a Disney Chef at the Contemporary Resort!

The entire class is broken into groups and each group is assigned the preparation of part of a big meal along with a Disney Chef.  At the end of the experience, you will receive a signed cookbook along with a white chef's hat!

Pricing is currently $175 per adult and $125 for children ages 9-12.  Each experience is limited to only 30 guests.  (seeems rather a lot to me).   Beer and wine will be available to those over 21 with the meal.  If you are not staying at the Contemporary resort, transportation is always available free of charge within Walt Disney World.  Reservations can only be made by calling the Disney Reservation Center.

Crystal Cruises to Provide Free Wifi On All Cruises

Starting August 30th, Crystal Cruises will offer free wifi on all of it's cruises.  All I can say is "YAY", let's hope this is a start to good things to come regarding wifi and Internet pricing on other cruise lines.  Due to our constantly "plugged-in" lives, cruise lines have been cutting Internet rates quite a bit across the board.  Crystal, in the luxury line category is doing a wonderful thing!

Walt Disney World Be Our Guest Restaurant To Serve Breakfast Permanently

Walt Disney World recently announced that the breakfast option at the extremely popular Be Our Guest restaurant in Magic Kingdom would now be permanent.

Be Our Guest is themed around the movie Beauty and the Beast and is hands down the most popular dining venue on the Walt Disney World property.  It has a unique distinction for being what's called a "Fast Casual" restaurant.   More upscale than a typical "Quick Service" restaurant, but not quite up to the level of a "Table Service" restaurant.  

Reservations can be made for breakfast at Be Our Guest starting at 180 days vs 90 days as it was in testing.  Another unique feature is that guests can opt to order their food online prior to the reservation.  The price range is high at $21.99 for adults (10+) and $13.99 for children (3-9).  Guests with a dining plan may use either a Quick Service or a Table Service dining entitlement for breakfast.  Walk-ins are possible, but due to the popularity of this restaurant, please try to get a reservation!

Some delicious options are:

Eggs Florentine in a Puff Pastry Shell
Vegetable Quiche
Croissant Doughnut
Cured Meats and Cheeses
Open-Faced Bacon and Egg (the way you like) Sandwiches.

Celebrity Cruise Lines Gives Glimpse Of Overnight Excursion Options

Back in early June, I reported Celebrity Cruise Line's announcement that they would be staying in select ports overnight on their Caribbean itineraries starting in 2016.  You can read about it here.  I couldn't help wonder what types of new and exciting shore excursions they might start offering with this change.

Celebrity has given us a glimpse into some of the offerings.  I'd have to say that the offerings are not too exciting and pretty much as expected.  They are branding the excursions as "Caribbean Evenings Around The World" and these are a few examples they gave out of 14 options so far:

- boat party in Cozumel (big surprise, right?)
- wine tasting at a winery in Willemstad, Curacao
- sunset cruise in Aruba
- horse-drawn carriage ride in Cartagena, Columbia (at night?)

These options come with a wide price range of $45 - $239 per person.

I'm all for change, and think this is an interesting move by Celebrity, but I'm not overly impressed yet.  I am looking forward to passenger reviews of these new excursions and itineraries.

NCL Specialty Restaurants Go A La Carte in 2016

I recently wrote about Royal Caribbean's decision to limit "Dynamic Dining" only to it's Quantum class ships here, and now this week we hear that competitor Norwegian Cruise Line will make changes regarding how they charge for their specialty restaurants.

Norwegian Cruise Lines was a pioneer in changing the dining concepts on cruise lines by introducing "Freestyle Dining" over a decade ago.  No longer would passengers have to eat at the same time and at the same place every night.  Along with this change came the introduction of "Specialty Restaurants".  These are optional additional dining venues that cruisers can choose from instead of the main dining room on the ships.  Typically, these restaurants are much smaller, feature a certain cuisine and charge a cover charge per person anywhere from $10 - $100 dollars.  

Norwegian has now announced that they will be charging "a la carte" style in their specialty restaurants starting in 2016.  My first thought is that this may be a welcome change for those who never quite felt they were getting their money's worth with some of the high cover charges.  What are your thoughts?  My last cruise on Norwegian Cruise Lines was years ago on the now gone "Dream" and they had just implemented "Freestyle Dining".  Except for a few long waits, I really enjoyed the new concept at the time.  We had enough choice to not need to use the specialty restaurants on that cruise.

Royal Caribbean Won't Retrofit For Dynamic Dining

When Royal Caribbean launched Quantum of the Seas, they also introduced a revolutionary new dining concept called "Dynamic Dining".  This dining concept would do away with the traditional early and late seating times and allow guests to dine anywhere they would like at any time they choose.  Rather than having a large main dining room, the ship was outfitted with five smaller sized dining rooms as well as a handful of other smaller specialty dining venues, each with a different  style and type of cuisine.  Along with Dynamic Dining, the formal night concept was done away with, allowing passengers who prefer to dress formally for dinner, to opt for the "formal-only" restaurant called "The Grande".  

Dynamic Dining was quite a change, even for those who previously used the line's "My Time" dining which allow you to choose your time, but still dine in the main dining room.  Some people embraced the concept as it allowed for more choice, while others were not so thrilled with having to micro-manage their dining experience.  To that end, Royal Caribbean did a minor overhaul of the program and introduced Dynamic Dining Classic which added back in the early and late seating times and then assigned the guests to a different restaurant each night.  Dynamic Dining Choice still operates as the original concept.  

Once the Quantum of the Seas was launched, it was announced that all future ships would feature Dynamic Dining and that they were starting to retrofit the existing ships by breaking up the main dining room into smaller venues and then ultimately switch each ship over to Dynamic Dining.  Mega ship, Oasis of the Seas' main dining has already been converted and plans were in the works to convert Allure of the Seas and the new Harmony of the Seas was slated to have the Dynamic Dining concept.

This week Royal Caribbean announced that they are stopping any plans to covert to Dynamic Dining on the Oasis if the Seas, nor are they going ahead with the retrofit of the Allure of the Seas, nor will it be an option on the new ship Harmony of the Seas.  No explanation has been given, but one would assume is that the concept is failing and the expense of this conversion does not bode well for the future.  I hope to get more information soon.  Only the Quantum of the Seas and the Anthem of the Seas currently feature Dynamic Dining.

Carnival Cruise Line Will Sail To Cuba Starting May 2016

I had a feeling this was in the works!

A few weeks ago, Carnival announced that they would be coming out with a new "Fathom" line which will feature educational "social impact" travel experiences. My immediate thought was that they'll be sailing to Cuba.


As predicted, they announced that they will indeed be having sailings on the new Fathom brand leaving out of Miami starting in May, 2016. Pricing will start at $2990 per person for a 7-day cruise which is three times higher than a typical 7-day itinerary in the Caribbean. The reason for the high price is that it will include onboard social-impact immersion experiences and on-the-ground cultural immersion activities. As of right now, the Adonia will sail these cruises. That ship is currently serving P&O Cruises. It's still unclear if there will be any other restrictions or requirements to book these sailings, but I am sure more news will be forthcoming in the months ahead.

Carnival is not the first line that will operate in Cuba. In December of this year, MSC cruise lines will begin seasonal sailings out of Havana on the MSC Opera.

While I am excited to see the restriction lifted and Cuba included in the cruise industry, I personally will take a wait and see approach prior to booking one of these cruises myself.

No More Cruises to "Nowhere"....

Due to immigration laws, the major cruise lines won't be offering short cruises to "Nowhere" starting in 2016.  Apparently these short cruises that simply took cruises out into the ocean and back for a few nights were never legal in the first place.  Foreign flagged cruise ships that operate out of US ports are not permitted to sell cruises that do not stop at a foreign port. 

The cruises to "Nowhere" were popular for travel agents and those who didn't want a long vacation.  It was an option to get acquainted with a particular cruise line or cruise ship, or just to simply go on a 48 hour all-inclusive get-away and a very cheap price.  I personally never had the opportunity to sail on one of these short cruises, but many loyal cruise line passengers have enjoyed them and have indicated that they will be missed.

Upcoming Frozen Attraction at Disney's Epcot - Some Not So Excited....

The popular movie Frozen is an undisputed winner for Disney,  and Walt Disney World fans are anxious to get as much "Frozen" experience as possible on their visits to the Walt Disney World theme parks.  At Magic Kingdom, you can currently meet Anna and Elsa at Princess Fairytale Hall. If you visit Disney's Hollywood Studios, there is a "Frozen Fun" summer event taking place that includes parades and other magical activities.  Disney announced a new "Frozen" ride that will be opening in early 2016 at it's Epcot park in the Norway area of the World Showcase are of the theme park.  You can read all about it here.  

Some of the comments on the blog indicate that not everyone is overly thrilled about the placement for the new attraction.  Epcot has shut down an existing favorite attraction called Maelstrom in order to make room for the new Frozen attraction.  Maelstrom was a log-chute ride that carried guests through Norwegian-themed scenery and folklore.  Many argue that replacing this attraction with a ride that depicts the fictional kingdom of Arendelle from the movie Frozen defeats the concept of the "World Showcase" section of the park and that it takes away from anything that is truly culturally Norwegian.  Personally, I feel that anything Disney does is perfectly magical and I trust that I will be delighted.  What are your thoughts?

Celebrity Cruises Plans Overnights At Caribbean Ports of Call In 2016

A trend usually only seen on Asian and European cruise itineraries, Celebrity Cruises is planning to offer overnight stays at select ports of call starting in 2016.  

When a ship stays overnight in a port, it offers the cruiser an opportunity to experience the night life the country has to offer.  It also allows for more extensive tours and excursions.  I think it's a pioneering move on Celebrity's part to introduce this in the Caribbean.  I am curious to find out how the different island businesses and governments will react to additional tourists from cruise ships into the late evenings.  For sure the nightclubs will benefit, but I expect we may unfortunately hear more stories of crime.  

Celebrity is planning the overnights on 43 of it's 2016 cruise and includes the following ports of call:  Aruba, Barbados, Cartagena, Cozumel, Curacao and St Maarten.  

Is anyone excited about the opportunity to hit the clubs in Aruba or watch the sunset go down while dining on a cliff in St Maarten?  You may get your chance soon.

Carnival Limits Bottled Beverage at Embarkation

Smuggling alcohol on cruise ships has been going on for decades.  Why pay high drink prices, when you can simply bring along your own vodka concealed in a 7-up bottle?  See that 32 oz bottle of mouthwash?  It tastes a lot like Bacardi when poured over ice!   Well, the game is over if you're planning a Carnival cruise.  Carnival just announced restrictions for what can be carried on:

- No beverages packaged in bottles, except for one bottle of fine wine or champagne
- Non-alcoholic beverages in cans or cartons are permitted but limited to 12 or less and should be in the passenger's carry on baggage.
- Carnival is lowering it's price for 12-pack bottled water to $2.99 if pre-purchased and $4.99 once the cruise begins.

The reason for the change has been attributed to helping decrease embarkation times, but we know this is certainly being done to decrease the chance of smuggling alcohol on board the ships.  

For me personally, I've never felt a huge need to "smuggle", as I try to budget any drink costs into my vacation costs, but I can't say I have never had a "few" airliner-sized bottles inside my checked bags.  As we see a trend towards "all-inclusive" cruising that is including alcoholic drink packages, my hope is that this change won't effect too many passengers in a extremely negative way.  Like most policies of this nature,  those that legitimately want to bring water or a brand of soda not sold on board are the ones being truly punished.  I will definitely be happy to sail a bit sooner when the staff don't have to scan endless cases of Aquafina!

Norwegian Cruise Line Bans Food Outside of Dining Areas

Cruise Critic published an article today regarding NCL's new decision to not allow passengers to carry food back from the ship's restaurants and buffets to the passenger's staterooms.  You can read it HERE   NCL says they made the decision in order to keep the ship looking nice.  I guess there have been too many half-eaten lobster tails littering the hallways....

I've actually done this in the past when cruising in non-suite level accommodations.  Since I tend to be an early riser, I often times head to the buffet and bring back a continental breakfast for my travel-mate.  Maybe a small tray of sandwiches for an afternoon snack.  Why not a G&T while relaxing before bed?

The thing that makes you go HMMMMM is that NCL recently announced that they will be charging $7.95 for room service!  Yet another reason to always cruise in a suite!

Norwegian Sky To Include Alcoholic Drinks in Fare

I always though that the "all-inclusive" trend was having a steam-roll effect. I figured we would see an offering like this, but I am honestly surprised that we see it from NCL first.

Starting in 2016, Norwegian Sky's 3 and 4 day sailings will include the cost of all premium spirits and cocktails, wines by the glass and beers priced under $11.00.  Underage guests will receive unlimited soda and juice.

My first thought is that this is a great move for cruise lines overall, knowing how popular the drinks packages are.  On second thoughts, I wonder if there will be hidden or unexpected consequences to this new perk...  Will they need more control on who is served as to avoid potential drunken "incidents"?

It will be interesting to see what other cruise lines follow and what variations of this all-inclusive theme we will see.

What are your thoughts?

Dynamic Dining - Did Royal Caribbean Fix Their New Dining Concept?

With the launch of Royal Caribbean's latest new ship, Quantum of the Seas, came a new concept in cruise ship dining: Dynamic Dining.  I say new, but it's really only new for Royal Caribbean.  Dynamic Dining is basically an open concept dining experience where you choose when and where you will dine each night of your cruise.  Traditional seating was done away with and the large main dining room was replaced with four smaller venues of different types of food.  

Having been contracted with Royal Caribbean just prior to the launch of the Anthem of the Seas, there was much excitement mingled with a bit of concern over this change in dining format.  Many of the regulars of the line felt disappointed that they were being forced out of their beloved traditional dining, while many other cruisers were looking forward to the idea.  Much of the logistics were yet to be worked out only when the ship actually launched.  Leading up to the launch, guests could make reservations for their dinner times prior to the cruise.  I can't say this was a perfect process.  Lack of available times and just plain confusion added to the uncertainty of how this new concept would work.

I'm not surprised that Royal Caribbean has now tweaked Dynamic Dining into two separate options:  Dynamic Dining Choice, which is basically the concept as created, dine when and where you want, or Dynamic Dining Classic, which gives you a fixed seating rime with the same table mates and staff, but the restaurants rotate. I have not experienced the change but it sounds to me like they may have made a good move.  I am sure more adjustments will be forthcoming as the line obviously intends on rolling out this dining option to it's other ships, most recently the Oasis of the Seas.

Have you experience Dynamic Dining?  Please tell me your thoughts!

Amber Cove - New Carnival Cruise Line Port in The Dominican Republic.

As cruising becomes more and more popular, there are many attempts made to make things fresh and that includes ports of call.  The $85 million dollar new port facility named Amber Cove, in the Puerto Plata area of the Dominican Republic has been under construction since 2012.  This October 6th, the Carnival Victory will make an inaugural visit to the new port of call.  In a previous post here, I asked about travel to Cuba in the near future.  Well Carnival has stated that this new port was strategically located to be incorporated into future cruise itineraries that will serve Cuba.   Hmmmm, was Carnival seeing the future or was this simply luck on their part?

Would You Vacation In Cuba?

When looking at a map of the Caribbean, you can't help but see the massive country of Cuba,  Due to past travel restrictions, it was never an option to visit there, so in my mind, the country only existed as something in history books or in random current events.

The recent exciting news about the loosening of travel restrictions to Cuba has the travel industry buzzing.  Not because everyone is jumping to book travel there, as some restrictions still apply, but because the possibilities of future travel and vacationing there are certainly something to think about.

Will there be new cruise ship ports of call?  Will guided tours and all-inclusive style resorts become a huge option for Cuba?  How would you like to discover Cuba?

New Village Causeway Is Now Open At Downtown Disney Marketplace

Walt Disney World in Florida announced many years ago that it's popular Downtown Disney entertainment, dining and shopping venue, would be undergoing a major transformation.

The latest in the changes and additions is now complete. It is called The Village Causeway which is a bridge that connects the area near The LEGO Store across the water to Rainforest Café,   Seems to me like a nice "short cut" to get through especially when it's busy.
