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 associates. We wished to take a giant journey however P mentioned 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.

In the present day, 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 individual* however right here we’re. I LOVE IT. It’s a fantastic alternative to see components of the world along with your kiddos with out having to schlep your stuff to a number of motels. You have 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 superb locations since they had been little, together with Italy, France, Greece, Bahamas just a few 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 straightforward flight. We had a reasonably early port arrival time, so we obtained 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 children can experience 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 celebration, 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 sort of a bizarre alternative, and it’s just like the duck was boiled in water. It made me a bit nervous for the remainder of the cruise, however the meals the rest of the time had been as much as the standard normal. (Additionally fortunately they’ve room service and fast chunk 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 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 children liked it. It’s a beautiful property with a lot to do: tons of slides, one of the best lazy river, swimming pools, seashore, bay, and so forth. It was very straightforward to spend your 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 obtained a pineaple with rum on the seashore that was magically refilled just a few instances. 😉

This evening’s present was Frozen and it was one of the best solid I’ve seen. I believe all dad and mom internally groan somewhat after 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 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 purpose to protect the coral reef. It’s a little bit of a stroll (about 7-10 min) with a beautiful view.

The water was PRISTINE: crystal clear and shiny blue, and the seashore had smooth, pink sand. They’ve fairly just a few 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 am keen on a sea day. We often sleep in, take pleasure in breakfast,

go to the health club, bingo, the children may hang around on the pool or go to youngsters membership, and it’s simply so very pretty 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 absolutely 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 relation to meals allergic reactions. I’m at all times clear that P and I aren’t allergic, however they deal with sensitivities as allergic reactions (very significantly). The whole lot for meals allergic reactions is ready in a separate kitchen and the secret’s that if you realize you need one thing explicit, you order it the evening earlier than along with your server in the principle eating room.

Virtually 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, superb. Additionally they have heat gluten-free rolls ready for you at dinner every evening.

Disney cruise outfits:

For cruises, I often deliver one thing cozy throughout 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 costume and both a light-weight jacket, or a costume that has sleeves as a result of it’s at all times somewhat bit chilly at evening.

Farm Rio dress / Flabelus flats

Farm Rio romper from RTR / same flats

Farm Rio dress / identical 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” – 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 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 submit isn’t sponsored or gifted in any manner (I want haha) however if you happen to’re contemplating a Disney cruise with your loved ones, I extremely advocate it. Even if you happen to’re not a *Disney individual* 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 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 traces as a result of we’ve been pleased with Disney. For the reason that 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 obtained me all in my feels, nevertheless it’s a very good one:
