Creator's Key Takeaways

This is my 10th cruise. I've been on all the ships now except for the Destiny.

The adults only pool area is very small. It is such a big ship and it's such a small space that there's almost nowhere to sit.

I'm done with Disney Massages because I'm tired of the upselling and having a sneaky receipt put into my hands to sign was kind of a dealbreaker for me.

I think 5 days is my perfect cruise length. This one was seven.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book DCL transportation from the MCO Hyatt for early boarding and luggage handling.
Rope drop the Haunted Mansion parlor just before noon for shorter lines.
If you want real scrambled eggs, order omelets instead at Marceline Market.

YouTube Video Description

I recap my Disney Treasure Cruise, highlighting smooth transportation, a beautiful ship, strong entertainment, and fun themed venues. I also note drawbacks like disappointing dining, cramped seating, limited adults-only spaces, rough sailing, and spa and food frustrations.
