Creator's Key Takeaways

We've been so lucky to take over a 100 cruisers. And the most common question we get is what cruise ship is our favorite.

It's crazy to be back. She looks beautiful. She was built all the way back in 1998, but she looks impeccable for a ship her age.

We completely paid for this all of ourselves. There is a lot of press and media and bloggers on board who have been hosted by Disney, but we are not one of them.

Every single surface has lots of thick dust. Everywhere I've ran my finger, it's dirty, thick dust, which is unacceptable on a $100 a night cruise, let alone $1,000 a night.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check your dining table assignment as soon as you board to ensure you have a private table if desired.
Download the Disney Cruise Line app; it's vital for ship maps, bookings, and daily schedules.
Bring adapters for power outlets, even if you're from the USA, to use all available outlets.
Consider driving to the port; it can be convenient and cost-effective compared to trains or Ubers.
Spend the first few hours in the adults-only Cove Cafe for a quiet, relaxing start to your cruise.

Boarding day chaosDon't get stressed; it's not like this all the time. Go to quieter areas like The Grill or Daisy Delights instead of the buffet.
Finding the terminal at Port EvergladesGoogle the terminal or use a marine traffic app; signs at the port will also guide you.
Dress codeIt's very casual; you can wear shorts in dining rooms, and colorful or Disney-themed clothing is common.
