90-day Trial Suspension of Staggered Dining on Wonder
DCL is testing a move away from their staggered dining concept for 90 days, in an effort to evaluate the best set-up for the cruise line. During the trial, the Main dining seating is at 5:45 p.m. and the Late seating is at 8:15 p.m. Breakfast on disembarkation morning is still staggered.
Fuel Surcharges on DCL
Rising fuel costs have caused Disney Cruise Line to impose a fuel surcharge. Effective for bookings made on or after May 28, a surcharge of $8 per person, per day for the first two guests in a stateroom and $3 per day for all other guests will be added to the cost of the cruise. This surcharge is capped at $112 each for the first and second guests and $42 for all other stateroom guests.
