Creator's Key Takeaways

Disney cruises are a great solution when you want a Disney vacation, but you also don't want to worry about all the dining reservations and Lightning Lane stress

The middle of the ship and lower levels tend to have less rocking and rolling when you're sailing across the high seas.

If you're late getting back to the ship because of a Disney port adventure, the ship will wait for you. But if you're late because of a third-party excursion, it'll leave without you.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book middle, lower-level rooms if prone to seasickness.
Visit pools and water slides during meal times to avoid long lines.
Use the 'open house' opportunities at the Oceaneer Club to ease kids into the club environment.
Take afternoon naps in the stateroom to avoid being woken up by loud ship horns.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

SeasicknessBook a room in the middle of the ship on a lower deck for less rocking.
Hidden costsBe aware that popcorn, soda in lounges, alcohol, and premium desserts cost extra.
Kids being intimidated by clubsAttend the Oceaneer Club open houses to let kids explore the space before being left there.
