Creator's Key Takeaways

I fell in love with Disney Cruise Line as an adult pre having kids.

The Oceaner Club is ages 3 to 10. 3 to 10 is a pretty big swing.

I cannot recommend a veranda on Disney Cruise Line enough.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Watch YouTube videos of your specific ship with your kids before the cruise.
Request character sheets for your child's bed from the state room host.
