Creator's Key Takeaways

when we went on our very first Disney cruise, we I felt very overwhelmed when we got on board.

I did love when I went on the Disney Wish this last time with my husband. This was our seventh Disney cruise.

The buffet can be a little crazy. That's where most people are going to eat. It's a little bit busy.

Cove Cafe... is such a relaxing, peaceful place, usually very empty on the first day.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Go to the dining team immediately to fix dining reservations or book specialty dining.
Bring swimsuits to use the pool and slides while they are quiet.
Check the app for kids club open house times to register early.
Go to the Port Adventures desk if you couldn't book your desired excursion online.
