This was our first cruise on Disney. We have done several on Royal Caribbean, plus a few on Carnival, Princess and Norwegian. My wife and I took our 3.5 yr. old daughter along. She loved it. Overall it was a great trip, so see below for more details (in no particular order):

Check-in: We arrived at the port around 11 ish (our assigned check-in time was 12:30, but no one seemed to care). We quickly made our way through security and check-in, which took about 20-30 min from the time we arrived until we were issued a boarding number. While waiting in line, the first family was allowed to board, which was probably around 11:30. After that, they boarded by number (we were assigned #19) and had just enough time to wait in line to take a pic with Minnie Mouse before we could board. One new benefit, they gave us our wrist band for the kids club at check-in, which meant we didn’t have to wait in a second line to get the band and did not have to do anything once on board to get our girl registered. It definitely seemed that things ran very smooth.

Ship: We thought the ship was beautiful, it seemed very clean and well maintained. Also, with so many kids on board, they took great care to ensure hands were sanitized or washed at every turn. We chose to go in early May to avoid the chaos of summer travel, and it generally worked. While the boat seemed full, and there were tons of kids on board, it never felt overly crowded or over-run with children. One thing that I noticed traveling with my daughter was that there were bathrooms, virtually everywhere. It’s something that you don’t appreciate until you travel with someone who has a tiny bladder.
