Creator's Key Takeaways

We are the sailing besties. Uh that is not our nickname. I have decided we're gonna have a nickname, but that will come out a little bit later.

This was a finishing of cancer treatment cruise. Yay. Birthday ended with a zero. Oh, a big birthday. You turned 20. I turned 50 this year.

I will say this was by far the windiest sailing we have ever had and it was over multiple days.

We did not find it to be enjoyable or high quality. In fact, I will easily say it was the worst deck show I've ever seen on a Disney ship.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Book port adventures early, even on full sailings, as some availability remains.
โœ“Consider using Disney Cruise Line transportation from the airport for potentially earlier boarding.
โœ“If you have a preference for dining times, request it at booking and be prepared to waitlist.

Booking port adventures on a full sailing โ€” Even on a packed cruise, many excursions remain available, so don't worry too much.
Choosing between early and late dining โ€” Early dining is good for early bedtimes; late dining is better for those who prefer later evenings.
