Creator's Key Takeaways

It was a 10 night cruise. And something that I found really unique about it too is that, you know, all the sea days were up front and then all the port days were in the back.

I came across a great rate for this Vancouver to Hawaii repositioning cruise. And of course, Disney math, you know, you save money when you only fly to Hawaii one way instead of both ways.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book a GTY (Guarantee) category for a good deal if you don't mind not picking your specific room.
Get WhatsApp to stay in touch with family back home if you don't buy an internet package.
Consider a repositioning cruise for the best per-night value.
If you have motion sickness, avoid Pacific Ocean cruises as they can be rougher than the Atlantic.
Book Disney transportation if you have heavy luggage or want convenience in Vancouver.
