Creator's Key Takeaways

I've cruised with Disney with just a group of adults before and I had an amazing time doing so

Disney Cruise Line has your back they have ways to handle and help in all of these situations

Disney still takes a lot of pride in their ships being familyfriendly and they see other uses for the space that other Cruise Lines devote to casinos

There really is such a thing as the Disney difference a company policy of sorts that focuses on Personal Touch attention to detail and overall Excellence

Creator's Tips & Advice

Prioritize rides first on embarkation day to avoid long lines later
Skip the buffet for breakfast to avoid crowds; consider dining rooms or room service
Stay on the ship during port stops to enjoy fewer people in pools and lounges
Take seasickness medication the night before boarding, not when the ship starts moving
Check maps of private islands to locate first aid and other facilities in advance
