Hello associates! Completely happy 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 trying ahead to planting all of the issues – the climate has been beautiful – along with pool time with associates. 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 sit back, we’ll most likely go to San Diego for an evening or two.

In the present day, 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 awesome alternative to see elements of the world together with your kiddos with out having to schlep your stuff to a number of lodges. You might have the identical hub every night time, with leisure, meals, and beautiful acommodations on board. Disney cruises are an enormous a part of the explanation why we’ve taken our youngsters to such wonderful locations since they had 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 youngsters can trip 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 occasion, 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 alternative, and it’s just like the duck was boiled in water. It made me a bit apprehensive for the remainder of the cruise, however the meals the rest of the time had 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 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 youngsters beloved it. It’s a stunning property with a lot to do: tons of slides, the most effective lazy river, swimming pools, seaside, bay, and many others. It was very simple to spend your complete day there.

Additionally value 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 a couple of instances. 😉

This night time’s present was Frozen and it was the most effective solid I’ve seen. I believe all dad and mom internally groan slightly once 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 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 with a purpose 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 comfortable, pink sand. They’ve fairly a couple of choices on the island, together with youngsters 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 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 fitness center, bingo, the youngsters 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! 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 unbelievable in terms of meals allergy symptoms. I’m all the time clear that P and I aren’t allergic, however they deal with sensitivities as allergy symptoms (very severely). All the things for meals allergy symptoms is ready in a separate kitchen and the secret is that if you realize you need one thing explicit, you order it the night time earlier than together with your server in the primary eating room.

Nearly 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. Additionally they have heat gluten-free rolls ready for you at dinner every night time.

Disney cruise outfits:

For cruises, I often convey 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 all the time slightly 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 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 gown or a set with sneakers (like Vejas or Sambas).

Are Disney cruises value it??

This put up isn’t sponsored or gifted in any means (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 primary 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 strains as a result of we’ve been pleased with Disney. For the reason that youngsters 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 acquired me all in my feels, however it’s a very good one:
