Pro Tips From Creators
The most-shared advice for DCL Duo.
If a specific dining request is important, check with concierge or dining staff as soon as you board to ensure it was noted correctly.
If you are prone to motion sickness, avoid concierge staterooms as they are located in the forward part of the ship where motion is felt most.
Use a travel agent to help pair your family with the right ship and itinerary based on your children's ages.
Wear water shoes at Lookout Cay due to coral.
Don't over-plan; you can have an awesome trip without having everything booked.
If you want a better drink, visit a bar before dinner rather than ordering at the main dining room.
