Creator's Key Takeaways

I've been on 32 and Counting and Andrew's been on 26

the magic is definitely my favorite ship because it has short hallways they're straight it's very easy to get around

we cannot get off in Grand Cayman because it's tendered and the problem is it might be nice and smooth in that bay in the morning but in the afternoon it can get very choppy

the wish class is there are a myriad of lifts I think that's really the theme here

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Reach out to special services in advance for accessible state rooms and equipment rentals
βœ“Use Disney Cruise Line transportation from resorts to port for accessible lift-equipped buses
βœ“Arrive early for deck parties to secure accessible viewing areas
βœ“Request distilled water for CPAP machines ahead of time with special services
βœ“Learn the ship layout before boarding, especially for wish class with complex hallways

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Getting up the embarkation ramp onto the ship β€” Ask for help; the ramp can be steep and difficult with disabilities
Navigating wish class hallways and elevators β€” Study the ship layout beforehand due to complex corridors and limited elevator banks
