Creator's Key Takeaways

I said this on the last cruise my least favorite part about Disney cruises is the food

it is rocking way more than the last ship that we were on

I'm so glad I went yeah it was so fun

I think tomorrow the brunch is gonna be delicious

Creator's Tips & Advice

Don't go to the first restaurant on your left when you board; go to the pool deck and get a shwarma
Assume there will be a pirate night and be prepared for it
If you are in an area where the chairs are just blue, that is an all-ages family area; if there are pads on the chairs, it is an adults-only area

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Motion sicknessThe movement feels more like a lulling motion which may help you sleep rather than cause sickness
What to do immediately upon boardingAvoid the crowded lobby restaurants and head to the pool deck for food and lounging
