Creator's Key Takeaways

We're joined LIVE by Vanessa and Andrew to break down their side-to-side sailing experience.

I would, but my mom wouldn't do probably.

The Destiny is not my favorite, but between the Dream and the Destiny, I'd pick the Destiny.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Use a travel agent to navigate complex Disney Cruise Line offers and restrictions.

✓If you don't get a letter on the last night for a back-to-back or side-by-side sailing, go to guest services immediately.

✓For side-by-side sailings, keep your instruction letter with you at all times.

✓Book through the convention center entrance at Port Everglades to bypass the initial check-in point.
