Creator's Key Takeaways

We've heard so much about the Disney difference from the immersive storytelling to that legendary service.

The service at on this ship has been really good. And they didn't charge us for this.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Download the Disney Cruise Line app before boarding to manage dining, excursions, and check-in.
Bring a passport for your cruise to make documentation easier.
Bring your own reusable cup to the buffet to make late-night soda runs easier.
Arrive at the port at your designated check-in time as Disney is very strict.

YouTube Video Description

It’s Embarkation Day on the stunning Disney Wish! Join us as we step onboard our FIRST EVER Disney Cruise departing from Port Canaveral. We dive straight into the essential embarkation day to-do list, including the mandatory safety briefing, checking our rotational dining schedule, and finally seeing the magical Grand Hall. After fueling up with an embarkation day lunch at Marceline Market, we set out to explore everything this Wish-class ship has to offer. We check out the Senses Spa, give you a look at the immersive kids' clubs during the open house, and find the best hidden details around the ship. You’ll get a full look at our stateroom accommodations before we head to the pool deck to experience the Sail Away Celebration with Mickey and friends. Throughout the day, we share our first impressions and travel tips for navigating a new cruise line, including a look at what you need to do on the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app to make sure you're ready for Embarkation Day! The excitement continues into the evening as we highlight the nightlife on the Disney Wish. We attend the first Broadway-style show in the Walt Disney Theatre and enjoy our first dinner ever at Palo Steakhouse. To cap off an amazing first day, we explore the late night offerings like the 90's music trivia, dance club in the Luna Lounge, and show off more of what makes Disney Wish so unique and different from our normal experiences. Whether you’re a Disney regular or a Royal Caribbean fan curious about the switch, this vlog covers everything you need to know about Day 1 on the Wish!
