The children are off for spring break (bless it) and we’re wanting ahead to planting all of the issues – the climate has been attractive – along with pool time with mates. We wished to take a giant journey however P stated she was, “traveled out” (does such a factor exist?!) however after giving her some days to relax, we’ll most likely go to San Diego for an evening or two.

Right this moment, I wished 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 an excellent alternative to see components of the world together with your kiddos with out having to schlep your stuff to a number of motels. You’ve 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 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 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 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 journey 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. Normally the meals are fairly good however this one was borderline inedible. I had the duck which is already sort 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 evening.)

The primary evening’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 cherished it. It’s a stunning property with a lot to do: tons of slides, the perfect lazy river, swimming pools, seashore, bay, and so forth. It was very simple to spend the complete 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 seashore that was magically refilled a couple of instances. 😉

This evening’s present was Frozen and it was the perfect solid I’ve seen. I believe 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 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 to be able 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 seashore had gentle, pink sand. They’ve fairly a couple of choices on the island, together with youngsters membership, character interactions, present, and so forth, 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 youngsters 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 pieces 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 unimaginable in the case of meals allergy symptoms. I’m all the time clear that P and I aren’t allergic, however they deal with sensitivities as allergy symptoms (very significantly). All the pieces for meals allergy symptoms is ready in a separate kitchen and the secret is that if you recognize you need one thing explicit, you order it the evening earlier than together with your server in the primary 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, gentle, recent, wonderful. Additionally they have heat gluten-free rolls ready for you at dinner every evening.

Disney cruise outfits:

For cruises, I often carry one thing comfortable through 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 all the time 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 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 costume or a set with sneakers (like Vejas or Sambas).

Are Disney cruises price it??

This put up 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 believe the meals high quality for the primary 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 proud of 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 business this previous week which acquired me all in my feels, but it surely’s a superb one:
