Going on a cruise is something that I have wanted to do since I was a child. Life got in the way and time passed until I was grown and married with a child of my own. We chose to finally take a vacation this year and picked a Disney cruise as our first time sailing. The price tag can cause a bit of sticker shock when looking around which is the main reason why we chose to sail in February since it was cheaper. Looking back on it I can definitely say that you get more than your monies worth when booking a Disney cruise, the only complaint that I have on the payment end was that we chose to pay in full and when I found the exact same cruise cheaper than what I paid for I was told that because I had already paid in full I could not get a partial refund.

Nonetheless, the day of embarkation went extremely smooth from the moment we arrived at port. Once we pulled up to the drop off area we were greeted by a member of Disney cruise line who took our bags and told us that they would be in our room. Several weeks before the sail date we got several tags and had to put our information on them so make sure that is done prior to arriving to port. Once we got inside we had to go through the usual screening and walking through metal detectors which depending on how crowded it is could take a while if you get stuck behind some slow movers. When you get through all that you go into the Disney terminal and check in. You will be asked to decide on whether you want to put a credit card on file or not and also this is where you get all your Disney keys which are extremely important because on the ship is completely cashless.

You will wait around for a while and when your group is called you will load the ship. During the walk you will get a family picture taken both for purchase and also a picture taken for administrative purposes on the ship. From the moment you enter the ship it is extremely classy, when you walk through the doors of the ship you are introduced to the entire ship by your family name. This was honestly the most stressful part for me due to the fact it was our first time sailing and after you walk through the doors you are kind of on your own to figure out where to go unless you can get a crew members attention.

Cabin Review

Standard Inside Stateroom

Cabin 11B

The room was nothing fancy but was definitely roomy enough for my wife, daughter and I.
