Creator's Key Takeaways

It's definitely the best boarding experience you have on a cruise ship.

The buffet is open, but we never do that on boarding day.

This is the best thing about cruising.

It's a beautiful ship and I think that goes for this ship as well.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check in online as soon as you can to get an earlier boarding group.
Avoid the buffet on boarding day due to crowds.
Download the Disney Cruise Line app for all details and schedules.
Book a balcony for peace and quiet during sailaway.
Give yourself plenty of time for guest relations to avoid long queues.
