Hello buddies! 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 trying 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.

Right this moment, 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 inns. You could have the identical hub every night time, with leisure, meals, and wonderful acommodations on board. Disney cruises are an enormous a part of the explanation why we’ve taken our youngsters to such superb locations since they had been little, together with Italy, France, Greece, Bahamas just a few 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 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 children can experience 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 get together, after which loved exploring the ship till dinner.

TBH dinner the primary night time… was dangerous. Often 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 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 chunk 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 final time we had been within the Bahamas, and the children beloved it. It’s a beautiful property with a lot to do: tons of slides, the perfect lazy river, swimming pools, seaside, bay, and many others. It was very straightforward to spend the complete day there.

Additionally price mentioning that Atlantis has majorly stepped up their meals recreation! 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 just a few occasions. 😉

This night time’s present was Frozen and it was the perfect solid I’ve seen. I believe all mother and father 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 women 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 in an effort 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 brilliant blue, and the seaside had mushy, pink sand. They’ve fairly just a few choices on the island, together with children 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 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 am keen on a sea day. We often sleep in, get pleasure from breakfast,

go to the health club, bingo, the children would possibly hang around on the pool or go to children 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 de facto 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 on the subject 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 severely). The whole lot for meals allergy symptoms is ready in a separate kitchen and the hot button is that if you realize you need one thing explicit, you order it the night time earlier than along with your server in the principle eating room.

Nearly something could 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, mushy, contemporary, superb. Additionally they have heat gluten-free rolls ready for you at dinner every night time.

Disney cruise outfits:

For cruises, I often deliver one thing cozy 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 night time, 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 night time.

Farm Rio costume / Flabelus flats

Farm Rio romper from RTR / similar flats

Farm Rio costume / similar 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 seaside 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 publish isn’t sponsored or gifted in any means (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 principle eating rooms has gone down over the previous couple of years. It’s undoubtedly inferior to it was our first few cruises.

We haven’t tried another cruise traces 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 an excellent one:
