The children 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 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.

As we speak, 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 inns. You might 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 children to such superb locations since they had 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 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 journey the water slide a bunch of occasions whereas we take pleasure in 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 unhealthy. Normally the meals are fairly good however this one was borderline inedible. I had the duck which is already form 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 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 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 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, the very best lazy river, swimming pools, seashore, bay, and many others. It was very simple 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 seashore that was magically refilled a couple of occasions. 😉

This evening’s present was Frozen and it was the very best solid I’ve seen. I feel all dad and mom internally groan slightly after 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 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 shiny blue, and the seashore had smooth, 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 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 am keen on a sea day. We often sleep in, take pleasure in breakfast,

go to the fitness center, bingo, the children may hang around on the pool or go to children membership, and it’s simply so very pretty 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 allergic reactions. I’m at all times clear that P and I aren’t allergic, however they deal with sensitivities as allergic reactions (very severely). All the things for meals allergic reactions is ready in a separate kitchen and the bottom line is that if you realize you need one thing explicit, you order it the evening earlier than together with your server in the primary eating room.

Virtually 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. Sizzling, smooth, contemporary, superb. Additionally they have heat gluten-free rolls ready for you at dinner every evening.

Disney cruise outfits:

For cruises, I often carry 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 slightly bit chilly at evening.

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” – 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 seashore 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 price it??

This put up isn’t sponsored or gifted in any manner (I want haha) however when you’re contemplating a Disney cruise with your loved ones, I extremely suggest it. Even when you’re not a *Disney individual* they really go above and past with leisure, hospitality, ports of name, and cleanliness. I’ll say that I feel the meals high quality for the primary 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 some other cruise strains as a result of we’ve been pleased with 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 acquired me all in my feels, nevertheless it’s one:
