Hello mates! Completely satisfied Monday! How are you? I hope you’re having an exquisite begin to the week. The youngsters 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 mates. We needed to take an enormous journey however P mentioned she was, “traveled out” (does such a factor exist?!) however after giving her some days to relax, we’ll in all probability go to San Diego for an evening or two.

At this time, 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 an ideal alternative to see elements of the world together with your kiddos with out having to schlep your stuff to a number of resorts. You could have 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 wonderful 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 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 occasions whereas we get pleasure from 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 dangerous. 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 fearful 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 children liked it. It’s a beautiful property with a lot to do: tons of slides, one of the best lazy river, swimming pools, seaside, bay, and so forth. It was very straightforward to spend the complete day there.

Additionally price mentioning that Atlantis has majorly stepped up their meals sport! 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 seaside that was magically refilled just a few occasions. 😉

This evening’s present was Frozen and it was one of the best forged I’ve seen. I feel all dad and mom internally groan a bit of after 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 women 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 seaside had comfortable, 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 like a sea day. We normally sleep in, get pleasure from breakfast,

go to the gymnasium, bingo, the children may hang around on the pool or go to youngsters membership, and it’s simply so very beautiful and low-key. They’ve cruises which can be like 13 nights of sea days and we have to do one! All the things 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 unbelievable in terms 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 significantly). All the things for meals allergy symptoms is ready in a separate kitchen and the bottom line is that if you recognize you need one thing explicit, you order it the evening earlier than together with your server in the principle eating room.

Virtually something will 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, comfortable, contemporary, wonderful. In addition they have heat gluten-free rolls ready for you at dinner every evening.

Disney cruise outfits:

For cruises, I normally deliver one thing comfortable 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 gown and both a light-weight jacket, or a gown that has sleeves as a result of it’s at all times a bit of 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 gown or a set with sneakers (like Vejas or Sambas).

Are Disney cruises price it??

This submit isn’t sponsored or gifted in any approach (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 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 another cruise traces as a result of we’ve been pleased with 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 obtained me all in my feels, nevertheless it’s a very good one:
