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 particular person* however right here we’re. I LOVE IT. It’s a fantastic alternative to see components of the world together with your kiddos with out having to schlep your stuff to a number of inns. You have got the identical hub every night time, with leisure, meals, and beautiful acommodations on board. Disney cruises are an enormous a part of the explanation why we’ve taken our children to such superb locations since they had been little, together with Italy, France, Greece, Bahamas a number 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 right 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 fairly simple flight. We had a fairly 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 trip the water slide a bunch of occasions whereas we get pleasure from a drink of the day. 😉

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

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

The primary night time’s present was Aladdin, which the Pilot and P ditched in favor of enjoying the detective recreation. 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 last time we were in the Bahamas, and the youngsters beloved it. It’s a stunning property with a lot to do: tons of slides, one of the best lazy river, swimming pools, seaside, bay, and many others. It was very simple to spend your entire day there.

Additionally price mentioning that Atlantis has majorly stepped up their meals recreation! I used to be capable of get an superior gf bowl with rice, jerk salmon, and a few yucca chips.

I additionally acquired a pineaple with rum on the seaside that was magically refilled a number of occasions. 😉

This night time’s present was Frozen and it was one of the best forged I’ve seen. I believe all dad and mom internally groan a bit after they have to listen to, “Let it Go” for the billionth time, however this Elsa’s model gave me full-body chills. I virtually cried. It was that good.

The ladies beloved 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 with the intention 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 seaside had delicate, pink sand. They’ve fairly a number of choices on the island, together with youngsters membership, character interactions, present, and many others, however we simply spent the day within the water, ate our buffet lunch, and snorkeled.

(I forgot my Rx snorkle mask 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 normally sleep in, get pleasure from breakfast,

go to the gymnasium, bingo, the youngsters may hang around on the pool or go to youngsters membership, and it’s simply so very beautiful and low-key. They’ve cruises which are like 13 nights of sea days and we have to do one! Every thing you want is absolutely on the ship.

This night time was additionally pirate night time, 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 with regards to 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 severely). Every thing for meals allergy symptoms is ready in a separate kitchen and the secret’s that if you understand you need one thing explicit, you order it the night time earlier than together with your server in the primary eating room.

Nearly something will 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, delicate, contemporary, superb. In addition they have heat gluten-free rolls ready for you at dinner every night time.

Disney cruise outfits:

For cruises, I normally carry one thing cozy in the course of the day, particularly since I would work out. So I’ll put on lululemon and a Disney hoodie or pullover on the ship. At night time, 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 bit chilly at night time.

Farm Rio dress / Flabelus flats

Farm Rio romper from RTR / same flats

Farm Rio dress / similar flats

My FAVE suit / button up

I also brought this suit and wore it on Atlantis day with jean shorts. It’s my favourite “mother swimsuit” – 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 seaside day, I’ll simply put on my swimsuit 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 price 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 particular person* they really go above and past with leisure, hospitality, ports of name, and cleanliness. I’ll say that I believe the meals high quality for the primary eating rooms has gone down over the previous couple of years. It’s positively inferior to it was our first few cruises.

We haven’t tried every other cruise traces as a result of we’ve been pleased with Disney. Because the youngsters 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, however it’s a very good one:
