Creator's Key Takeaways

The service on the cruise was incredible. I have truly never experienced such a + over-the-top just bend over backwards kind of service as I did on a Disney cruise.

We were never hungry for five days. You will not be hungry there are places that are open 24 hours a day for breakfast lunch and dinner.

The Beauty and the Beast show on the ship was stunning, it was so well done, it was incredible, it was absolutely incredible.

I really enjoyed doing that [unplugging from Wi-Fi]. It was so refreshing and it was just so rejuvenating.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Call Disney Cruise Line to request a private dinner table if you're a couple.
Bring a lanyard for your key to the world card.
Pack comfortable sandals and cold-weather clothes.
Bring hand cream due to frequent sanitizing.
Arrive at Orlando Airport at least three hours before your flight.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Using a birth certificate with a maiden name and a license with a married name for boardingIt works fine; bring a bridging document like a marriage license just in case, but it wasn't asked for.
Getting seasickBring remedies, but the creator didn't need them and experienced no seasickness.
Water tasting funny on the shipThe water tasted filtered and fine; no need to buy bottled water.
