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 buddies. We needed to take a giant 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 particular person* however right here we’re. I LOVE IT. It’s a terrific 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 wonderful acommodations on board. Disney cruises are an enormous a part of the rationale why we’ve taken our youngsters to such superb locations since they had been little, together with Italy, France, Greece, Bahamas a couple of instances, 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 simple 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 trip the water slide a bunch of instances whereas we take pleasure in a drink of the day. 😉

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

TBH dinner the primary evening… was unhealthy. Often the meals are fairly good however this one was borderline inedible. I had the duck which is already type of a bizarre alternative, and it’s just like the duck was boiled in water. It made me a bit apprehensive 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 evening.)

The primary evening’s present was Aladdin, which the Pilot and P ditched in favor of taking part in 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 last time we were in the Bahamas, and the youngsters liked it. It’s a stunning property with a lot to do: tons of slides, the very best lazy river, swimming pools, seaside, bay, and so on. It was very simple to spend the 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 seaside that was magically refilled a couple of instances. 😉

This evening’s present was Frozen and it was the very best forged I’ve seen. I feel all dad and mom internally groan a bit once 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 liked 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 a view 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 vibrant blue, and the seaside had delicate, 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 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 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! The whole lot you want is admittedly 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 unimaginable relating 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 critically). The whole lot for meals allergy symptoms is ready in a separate kitchen and the bottom line is that if you understand you need one thing explicit, you order it the evening earlier than along with your server in the principle eating room.

Virtually something may 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. Scorching, delicate, recent, superb. Additionally they have heat gluten-free rolls ready for you at dinner every evening.

Disney cruise outfits:

For cruises, I often convey one thing comfortable throughout the day, particularly since I’d 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 costume and both a light-weight jacket, or a costume that has sleeves as a result of it’s at all times a bit bit chilly at evening.

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” – comfy, 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 costume 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 for those who’re contemplating a Disney cruise with your loved ones, I extremely suggest it. Even for those who’re not a *Disney particular person* 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 positively not so good as it was our first few cruises.

We haven’t tried some other cruise strains as a result of we’ve been pleased with Disney. Because the children are getting older, we would discover another choices – I’ve heard nice issues about Royal – however we will certainly stick Disney, too.

They launched this business this previous week which acquired me all in my feels, nevertheless it’s a great one:
