Hello mates! Glad Monday! How are you? I hope you’re having an exquisite begin to the week. The children are off for spring break (bless it) and we’re wanting ahead to planting all of the issues – the climate has been beautiful – along with pool time with mates. We needed to take an enormous journey however P stated she was, “traveled out” (does such a factor exist?!) however after giving her some days to sit back, we’ll in all probability go to San Diego for an evening or two.

In the present day, I needed to share a recap of our newest Disney Cruise. It was fortunate #7 and it was an amaaaazing one. I by no means thought I’d be a *cruise individual* however right here we’re. I LOVE IT. It’s an excellent alternative to see components of the world along with your kiddos with out having to schlep your stuff to a number of resorts. You’ve got the identical hub every evening, with leisure, meals, and beautiful acommodations on board. Disney cruises are an enormous a part of the rationale why we’ve taken our youngsters to such wonderful locations since they had been little, together with Italy,  France, Greece, Bahamas a couple of occasions, Mexico, and Alaska, along with Disney’s islands at Castaway Cay and Lookout Cay.

This cruise was a brief one, and it was the proper size to sneak in on their Rodeo Break.

Disney Fantasy Cruise Nassau and Lookout Cay

Embarkation day:

We traveled out of Port Canaveral, which was a reasonably straightforward flight. We had a reasonably early port arrival time, so we acquired 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 youngsters can journey the water slide a bunch of occasions whereas we take pleasure in a drink of the day. 😉

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

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

The primary evening’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 final time we had been within the Bahamas, and the youngsters cherished it. It’s a stunning property with a lot to do: tons of slides, one of the best lazy river, swimming pools, seashore, bay, and so on. It was very straightforward to spend your 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 acquired a pineaple with rum on the seashore that was magically refilled a couple of occasions. 😉

This evening’s present was Frozen and it was one of the best solid I’ve seen. I feel all mother and father internally groan a bit of 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 cherished 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 in an effort 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 brilliant blue, and the seashore had smooth, pink sand. They’ve fairly a couple of choices on the island, together with children 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 masks 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 like a sea day. We often sleep in, take pleasure in breakfast,

go to the health club, bingo, the youngsters would possibly hang around on the pool or go to children membership, and it’s simply so very beautiful and low-key. They’ve cruises which might be like 13 nights of sea days and we have to do one! All the things you want is basically on the ship.

This evening was additionally pirate evening, 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 the case of meals allergy symptoms. I’m at all times clear that P and I aren’t allergic, however they deal with sensitivities as allergy symptoms (very significantly). All the things for meals allergy symptoms is ready in a separate kitchen and the bottom line is that if you need one thing specific, you order it the evening earlier than along with your server in the principle eating room.

Nearly 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. Sizzling, smooth, recent, wonderful. Additionally they have heat gluten-free rolls ready for you at dinner every evening.

Disney cruise outfits:

For cruises, I often deliver one thing comfortable through the day, particularly since I would work out. So I’ll put on lululemon and a Disney hoodie or pullover on the ship. At evening, 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 at all times a bit of bit chilly at evening.

Farm Rio gown / Flabelus flats

Farm Rio romper from RTR / identical flats

Farm Rio gown / identical flats

My FAVE go well with / button up

I additionally introduced this go well with 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 publish isn’t sponsored or gifted in any method (I want haha) however should you’re contemplating a Disney cruise with your loved ones, I extremely advocate it. Even should you’re not a *Disney individual* they honestly go above and past with leisure, hospitality, ports of name, and cleanliness. I’ll say that I feel the meals high quality for the principle eating rooms has gone down over the previous couple of years. It’s undoubtedly not so good as it was our first few cruises.

We haven’t tried every other cruise strains as a result of we’ve been pleased with Disney. For the reason that children 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 acquired me all in my feels, nevertheless it’s one:

So inform me, mates: have you ever performed a Disney cruise? What did you suppose?

Are there any cruise strains you’d advocate with older children?
