Hello pals! 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 pals. 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.

Immediately, 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 amazing alternative to see elements of the world along with your kiddos with out having to schlep your stuff to a number of lodges. You could have the identical hub every night time, with leisure, meals, and beautiful acommodations on board. Disney cruises are an enormous a part of the rationale why we’ve taken our children to such wonderful locations since they have 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 children can experience the water slide a bunch of instances 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 night time… 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 selection, and it’s just like the duck was boiled in water. It made me a bit anxious for the remainder of the cruise, however the meals the rest of the time have been as much as the standard commonplace. (Additionally fortunately they’ve room service and fast chew 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 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 beloved 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 so forth. It was very simple to spend the complete 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 acquired a pineaple with rum on the seaside that was magically refilled a couple of instances. 😉

This night time’s present was Frozen and it was one of the best forged I’ve seen. I believe all dad and mom internally groan a bit of 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 so as 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 vivid blue, and the seaside had tender, pink sand. They’ve fairly a couple of choices on the island, together with children 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, 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 are like 13 nights of sea days and we have to do one! All the things you want is actually 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 unimaginable in terms of 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 critically). All the things for meals allergic reactions is ready in a separate kitchen and the bottom line is that if you recognize you need one thing specific, you order it the night time earlier than along with your server in the principle eating room.

Virtually something may 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. Scorching, tender, contemporary, wonderful. In addition they have heat gluten-free rolls ready for you at dinner every night time.

Disney cruise outfits:

For cruises, I often carry one thing comfortable in the course of 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 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 night time.

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 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 value 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 advocate it. Even for those who’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 principle eating rooms has gone down over the previous couple of years. It’s positively inferior to it was our first few cruises.

We haven’t tried another cruise strains 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 a great one:
