Creator's Key Takeaways

If you show up between 30 to 60 minutes before the boat is going to depart or sail away rather, well, you may not be able to hear your name be called.

We were on the oldest ship on the Disney Cruise Line fleet, the Disney Magic.

If you are not prepaying for your gratuitities, they will be pulled out on day three of your cruise typically.

You can take food to go from your dining hall, which we didn't know until it was too late.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Arrive early to hear your name called during embarkation.
Use your Magic Band to pay for laundry services.
Bring factory-sealed food on board.
Use iMessage on the ship but cannot send photos.
Do not need ID to get on or off the ship.
Prepay gratuities to avoid charges on day three or four.

YouTube Video Description

Thinking about booking a Disney Cruise Line sailing but feel like every video keeps repeating the same basic tips? Before our first cruise we had a TON of questions — the kind nobody seemed to answer — so we documented everything we wish we knew before stepping onboard the Disney Magic. In this video we reveal the small details that can quietly change your entire cruise experience… like why arriving at the wrong time can make you miss one of the most magical moments on embarkation day, how gratuities can unexpectedly wipe out your onboard credit halfway through the trip, and the surprising truth about what actually works (and doesn’t) with onboard Wi-Fi and messaging. We also talk about the rumors that turned out completely false, what you can really bring onboard, how dining works on night one, why luggage timing matters more than you think, and the mistake that had us wishing we’d taken dinner to-go instead. If you’re planning your first Disney cruise — or even your second — these are the things you don’t learn until you’re already there. Watch before you sail… you might save money, time, and a little disappointment. #DisneyCruiseLine #DisneyCruiseTips #FirstDisneyCruise #DisneyMagic #CruiseHacks #CruiseTips #DisneyVacation #EmbarkationDay #CruisePlanning #TravelTips ♥ Follow Us! ♥ Instagrams: https://www.instagram.com/d_e_tales/ https://www.instagram.com/david_ca_realtor/ https://www.instagram.com/_ollie_and_e/ https://www.instagram.com/e_tales_beauty/ https://www.instagram.com/_big_and_smalls_ 🌻 Website for Es handmade items!🌻 https://ollieande.com/ 💌PayPal💌 https://paypal.me/detalesvlog?country.x=US&locale.x=en_US Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/hartzmann/paradise-island License code: FZC3KMBSA3ZF3WAF ✋This is not a sponsored video all opinions are 100% our own & are not endorsed or influenced in any way by an outside party.
