Creator's Key Takeaways
We took our first Disney cruise 18 years ago in 2008, and a lot has changed between then and now.
The more sailings you go with Disney, the better um perks you get. And that's what the Castaway Club levels are.
The service on a Disney cruise is just above and beyond everybody.
Once you sail on one, you're going to want to go on another one.
Creator's Tips & Advice
✓Get the Disney Cruise Line app as soon as you make your reservation.
✓Fly in the day before your cruise to avoid missing the ship due to flight delays.
✓Prepay gratuities at the beginning to help manage costs.
✓Use magnetic hooks in your stateroom to keep items organized.
✓Stay on the ship during port days if you want to relax and avoid crowds.
