Creator's Key Takeaways

Nine things I wish I knew before sailing on a Disney cruise.

Pirate Night is a very big deal on the ship.

We booked one of the cheapest cruise rooms, and it was surprisingly more spacious than we expected.

This was a great way to escape the crowds and have a relaxing meal.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Pack your own snorkel gear to save around $45.
βœ“Book the Royal Gathering reservation 30 days in advance.
βœ“Get to main shows early to secure a spot.

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Disney cruises are just for kids β€” There are over 18 areas on the ship and Castaway Cay.
Inside stateroom is too small β€” It was surprisingly spacious; good if you don't spend much time in the room.

9 things I WISH I knew before sailing on a Disney cruise! We sailed on the Disney Wish and I wish I knew this before our first sailing! There are 18+ areas on the ship and Castaway Cay. The Disney character meals have very brief character interactions! Pirate Night is a VERY big deal! Don’t forget to pack a pirate outfit! We booked an inside stateroom that had no windows or balcony. If you don't plan to spend a lot of time in the room, we recommend this option since it is the cheapest room on the ship! Castaway Cay has 2 must do activities! Don't miss out on the Disney statue snorkeling and Castaway Cay 5k! There are 3 rotational dining restaurants that are open for other meals besides dinner. Consider having lunch or breakfast at the available options! Download the Disney Navigator app to view cruise details and activities! Book a reservation for the Royal Gathering Disney princess meet and greet 30 days before your sailing date. When watching shows on the ship, budget time to secure a viewing spot! Are you sailing on a Disney cruise soon?! #disney #cruise #travel
