We recently returned from our first Disney Cruise aboard the Disney Magic. It was a 5 night cruise to the Bahamas including two stops in Castaway Cay and one stop in Nassau.
Embarkation:
The embarkation process was very quick and easy. We drove to Port Canaveral and the cruise port is easy to navigate and friendly staff show you where to drop off your suitcases and where to park. Going through security was fast and there was just a short wait to check-in. You can even get your picture taken with a character before you board the ship so the excitement starts right away for the kids (and adults too!)
