Creator's Key Takeaways

I get a lot of questions about imbarcation day and what to expect because there's a lot happening that day.

I would pick the earliest time they have available in general.

They are going to announce you onto the ship. They are going to say something along the lines of the Disney Magic welcomes the Whiting family.

I highly recommend it, especially if it's your first cruise.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Pick the earliest port arrival time to get a lower boarding group number.

✓Check the Navigator app for dining changes and spa reservations as soon as you board.

✓Be patient after the muster drill, as elevators will be crowded.

✓Consider waiting for a table service restaurant on embarkation day, as the wait may be shorter than estimated.
