It’s an amazing alternative to see elements of the world along with your kiddos with out having to schlep your stuff to a number of resorts. You may have the identical hub every night time, with leisure, meals, and beautiful acommodations on board. Disney cruises are an enormous a part of the explanation why we’ve taken our children to such superb locations since they had been little, together with Italy, France, Greece, Bahamas a number of occasions, Mexico, and Alaska, along with Disney’s islands at Castaway Cay and Lookout Cay.

Disney Fantasy Cruise Nassau and Lookout Cay

Embarkation day:

We traveled out of Port Canaveral, which was a fairly simple flight. We had a fairly early port arrival time, so we bought on the ship and instantly went as much as the pool for buffet lunch and swimming. The pool isn’t busy throughout this time, so the children can trip the water slide a bunch of occasions whereas we get pleasure from a drink of the day. 😉

We did the muster drill, the Sail a Wave social gathering, after which loved exploring the ship till dinner.

TBH dinner the primary night time… was unhealthy. Often the meals are fairly good however this one was borderline inedible. I had the duck which is already type of a bizarre alternative, and it’s just like the duck was boiled in water. It made me a bit frightened for the remainder of the cruise, however the meals the rest of the time had been as much as the standard commonplace. (Additionally fortunately they’ve room service and fast chunk choices on the pool deck. We had some late-night fries and burgers that night time.)

The primary night time’s present was Aladdin, which the Pilot and P ditched in favor of enjoying the detective sport. Liv and I loved the present. The genie was hilarious.

Nassau:

Day 2 was in Nassau and we deliberate an tour to Atlantis. We went to Atlantis last time we were in the Bahamas, and the children beloved it. It’s a stunning property with a lot to do: tons of slides, the very best lazy river, swimming pools, seashore, bay, and so on. It was very simple to spend the complete day there.

Additionally value mentioning that Atlantis has majorly stepped up their meals sport! I used to be in a position to get an superior gf bowl with rice, jerk salmon, and a few yucca chips.

I additionally bought a pineaple with rum on the seashore that was magically refilled a number of occasions. 😉

This night time’s present was Frozen and it was the very best solid I’ve seen. I believe all dad and mom internally groan just a little once they have to listen to, “Let it Go” for the billionth time, however this Elsa’s model gave me full-body chills. I nearly cried. It was that good.

The ladies beloved the present a lot that they went once more to the late present. The Pilot and I had dinner by ourselves, which was bizarre however good.

Lookout Cay:

It was our first time visint Disney’s latest island: Lookout Cay. They’ve a big bridge to get to the island with a view to protect the coral reef. It’s a little bit of a stroll (about 7-10 min) with a stunning view.

The water was PRISTINE: crystal clear and vivid blue, and the seashore had delicate, pink sand. They’ve fairly a number of choices on the island, together with youngsters membership, character interactions, present, and so on, however we simply spent the day within the water, ate our buffet lunch, and snorkeled.

(I forgot my Rx snorkle mask however introduced these Rx goggles which permit me to be a enjoyable mother however nonetheless see)

Sea Day:

Our final day was at sea, and I am keen on a sea day. We normally sleep in, get pleasure from breakfast,

go to the fitness center, bingo, the children may hang around on the pool or go to youngsters membership, and it’s simply so very beautiful and low-key. They’ve cruises which can be like 13 nights of sea days and we have to do one! Every little thing you want is de facto on the ship.

This night time was additionally pirate night time, with a enjoyable pirate present on the pool deck and fireworks.

Liv and the Pilot skipped this one, however P and I had a blast.

Consuming gluten-free on a Disney Cruise:

Disney is unbelievable in terms of meals allergic reactions. I’m all the time clear that P and I aren’t allergic, however they deal with sensitivities as allergic reactions (very severely). Every little thing for meals allergic reactions is ready in a separate kitchen and the secret is that if you need one thing explicit, you order it the night time earlier than along with your server in the principle eating room.

Virtually something might be made gluten-free together with the well-known Mickey churro waffles.

Final time we had been on the Dream, they had been simply okay, however this time, they had been GOOD. Scorching, delicate, contemporary, superb. Additionally they have heat gluten-free rolls ready for you at dinner every night time.

Disney cruise outfits:

For cruises, I normally deliver one thing comfortable throughout the day, particularly since I would work out. So I’ll put on lululemon and a Disney hoodie or pullover on the ship. At night time, I’ll change for dinner right into a gown and both a light-weight jacket, or a gown that has sleeves as a result of it’s all the time just a little bit chilly at night time.

Farm Rio dress / Flabelus flats

Farm Rio romper from RTR / same flats

Farm Rio dress / identical flats

My FAVE suit / button up

I also brought this suit and wore it on Atlantis day with jean shorts. It’s my favourite “mother go well with” – snug, flattering, and covers my booty whereas I’m doing slides and making sand castles with the crew.

For excursions, I’ll change it up relying on the place we’re going, but when it’s a seashore day, I’ll simply put on my go well with with jean shorts and a coverup, or if it’s not swimming or beach-related, I’ll put on a gown or a set with sneakers (like Vejas or Sambas).

Are Disney cruises value it??

This submit isn’t sponsored or gifted in any manner (I want haha) however if you happen to’re contemplating a Disney cruise with your loved ones, I extremely suggest it. Even if you happen to’re not a *Disney particular person* they honestly go above and past with leisure, hospitality, ports of name, and cleanliness. I’ll say that I believe the meals high quality for the principle eating rooms has gone down over the previous couple of years. It’s positively inferior to it was our first few cruises.

We haven’t tried some other cruise traces as a result of we’ve been pleased with Disney. For the reason that youngsters are getting older, we’d discover another choices – I’ve heard nice issues about Royal – however we will certainly stick Disney, too.

They launched this industrial this previous week which bought me all in my feels, but it surely’s a great one:
