Summary
I have been on multiple Disney cruises. I have also cruised Greece multiple times. This was my first time combining the two — nine nights on the Disney Dream through the Greek Isles and Malta. I am a Disney adult and a travel advisor who sells DCL, and I want to give you my honest take on what this experience was actually like. In this episode I am covering: Getting to the port from Rome and what the check-in situation was actually like Why you should join the WhatsApp group and Facebook group for your specific DCL sailing before you go The Disney Dream — what it does well and where it feels dated compared to newer DCL ships The honest food take: rotational dining, why Palo is always the right call, and why the main dining room quality has declined The rainforest room add-on — approximately $200 per person for nine nights and worth every dollar The teenager situation: real, documented in the WhatsApp group, and something to know going in Two active volcanoes — Stromboli and Mount Etna — on the same morning before breakfast Churro Mickey waffle day and why guests plan their mornings around it The VAT refund process on DCL European sailings — do this the same day you make your purchases or you will regret it The honest verdict: who DCL in Europe is right for and who might want to look at alternatives The ports — Chania, Mykonos, Corfu, and Valletta — are each getting their own episodes. This one is all about the ship. If you are trying to figure out whether a European cruise is right for you, or which cruise line fits how you travel, reach out. This is exactly the kind of thing I love helping people think through. Find me at kaylareneetravel.com and across all socials at Kayla Renee Travel. Until next time — let's just go.
