I made the decision on a 3-night cruise with my family celebrating my parents' 45th anniversary to do a solo 4-night cruise during my winter break (Presidents' Week) and took advantage of Disney's onboard rebooking deals to book this cruise. I went back and forth on which side of the ship to be on, but never wavered from my 8B cabin decision. Ultimately I decided on 9000 the port side, and I'm glad I did as the one time I visited the laundry (across from 9500 - the other cabin I considered), the people in there were talking rather loudly. Overall it was a fantastic experience!!

About me: I'm 42 and teach special education as well as work a part-time retail job. I live in NYC. While I've don a 3-night with my family, this was a solo adult trip.

I flew down Saturday afternoon before embarkation on Sunday. Weather made it interesting, but we made it to Orlando safely if a bit late. I stayed at the Hampton Inn & Suites Orlando Airport at Gateway Village and it was lovely! After the free breakfast in the morning, I hopped on their shuttle back to MCO to catch the Disney Cruiseline Bus to Port Canaveral. There is a charge, so for family it might not be the best deal, but it's a nice, easy trip and they play both cruiseline videos and Disney cartoons to help pass the time. We were the first group let into the terminal, and it was nice to be there and know that my vacation was starting. Read more
