Creator's Key Takeaways

I've been on lots of Disney Cruises as an adult by myself or with just my husband and we've loved it it's been great

the Wi-Fi has gotten so much better and now I can actually I can upload voiceovers from from C which is unheard of

I would say that at this point yes the Wi-Fi is very very much worth it especially if you're doing a cruise and you're going to need to stay connected to work

the ultimate Castaway Club Status being that Pearl ranking which not only gives you a lot of fun membership perks but we'll give you the option to book activities 123 days before sailing

Creator's Tips & Advice

Set up a payment plan that works for you before booking premium onboard activities
Gather all required travel documents and keep them in your carry-on bag
Pack reusable water bottles for hydration
Budget for the premium Wi-Fi package if you need to stay connected
