Creator's Key Takeaways

This was our seventh Disney cruise. Um, so we've been on all the ships except for the Destiny because it had just started sailing.

This was just three nights and stocking stuffer size.

I loved all the Christmas decor. We had done a Halloween on the high seas.

The gingerbread house was cool, especially since they made the terrible decision to not have one in the Grand Flow this year.

Creator's Tips & Advice

If seeing the tree lighting up close is a priority, arrive before the scheduled time.
If you have a food preference that's not an allergy, you can ask for substitutions during Primote.
If you have a Rainforest Room pass, you can use the spa lockers on embarkation day to store bags.
