Creator's Key Takeaways

Best birthday ever. At least in the first 45 years.

I've been on all the Disney ships except the treasure thus far, and they all have beautiful stairs in the atrium or Grand Hall, but these are the most beautiful I've seen.

Great attention to detail on this ship.

The shrimp is bland, y'all.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pre-purchase the Disney Cruise Line Unlimited photo package.
Arrive on time for character events; appearances often end before the scheduled time window.
Bring personalized door magnets for your stateroom door.
If you don't want to stop for embarkation photos, you can walk right on by.
Deck 3 has more seating than Deck 4 for theater shows.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Navigating the long embarkation lineArrive during your assigned port arrival time to move quickly through the terminal.
Getting good photosPre-purchase the photo package, but know you can also walk past photo stations if you want to skip them.
Missing character eventsArrive early for events, as character appearances often end well before the scheduled time is up.
