Sharing a recap of Disney cruise #1! Disney Fantasy to Nassau and Lookout Cay. Take a look at all of my high Disney Cruise suggestions on this submit.

Hello mates! Comfortable Monday! How are you? I hope you’re having a beautiful begin to the week. The youngsters are off for spring break (bless it) and we’re trying ahead to planting all of the issues – the climate has been attractive – along with pool time with mates. We needed 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.

At present, 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 individual* however right here we’re. I LOVE IT. It’s an important alternative to see components of the world together with your kiddos with out having to schlep your stuff to a number of accommodations. 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 wonderful locations since they have been little, together with Italy,  France, Greece, Bahamas a couple 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 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 fairly straightforward flight. We had a fairly early port arrival time, so we bought 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 occasion, after which loved exploring the ship till dinner.

TBH dinner the primary evening… was dangerous. 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 fearful for the remainder of the cruise, however the meals the rest of the time have been as much as the same old normal. (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 final time we have been within the Bahamas, and the children liked 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 straightforward to spend your entire 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 bought a pineaple with rum on the seaside that was magically refilled a couple of occasions. 😉

This evening’s present was Frozen and it was one of the best forged I’ve seen. I believe all dad and mom internally groan somewhat 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 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 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 vibrant blue, and the seaside had mushy, pink sand. They’ve fairly a couple of 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 like a sea day. We normally sleep in, get pleasure from breakfast,

go to the gymnasium, bingo, the children 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! Every little thing 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). Every little thing for meals allergic reactions is ready in a separate kitchen and the hot button is that if you already know you need one thing specific, you order it the evening earlier than together with your server in the primary eating room.

Virtually something will be made gluten-free together with the well-known Mickey churro waffles.

Final time we have been on the Dream, they have been simply okay, however this time, they have been GOOD. Sizzling, mushy, recent, wonderful. In addition they have heat gluten-free rolls ready for you at dinner every evening.

Disney cruise outfits:

For cruises, I normally carry 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 somewhat bit chilly at evening.

Farm Rio costume / Flabelus flats

Farm Rio romper from RTR / identical flats

Farm Rio costume / identical 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” – 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 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 value it??

This submit isn’t sponsored or gifted in any method (I want haha) however if you happen to’re contemplating a Disney cruise with your loved ones, I extremely suggest it. Even if you happen to’re not a *Disney individual* 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 not so good as it was our first few cruises.

We haven’t tried another cruise strains as a result of we’ve been proud of Disney. For the reason that 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 bought me all in my feels, nevertheless it’s one:

So inform me, mates: have you ever finished a Disney cruise? What did you assume?

Are there any cruise strains you’d suggest with older children?
