Stories you love.Memories
you make together.

Share the big moments.

Tell me who’s coming, the children’s ages and everyone’s favorite characters. We’ll balance time together with activities that suit each person, including grandparents who may prefer a gentler pace.

Bring your own enthusiasm.

You don’t need children to appreciate a Disney vacation. Consider how much you’d enjoy the themed atmosphere, then explore adult spaces and optional dining alongside the shared ship experience.

Make the right comparison.

Tell me if your priorities are ports, a particular restaurant, nightlife or simply being together. We can compare Disney with other lines using the actual experience and the total vacation budget.

Know where to go.

Review your assigned restaurant, seating and table. On longer sailings, you can return to a venue during the rotation. Plan shows and evening activities around that schedule.

Ask early.

Tell me about preferred dining times, children’s bedtime routines and companions booked in other cabins. We’ll request appropriate arrangements and check what’s confirmed before treating the evening plan as settled.

Leave room for options.

Review the ship’s included casual meals and any paid dining you want to reserve. An optional adult dinner also affects childcare and your regular evening schedule.

A different package approach.

Disney doesn’t offer the conventional unlimited alcohol package sold by some other lines. Alcohol and specialty drinks are purchased separately; limited beer or wine offerings may be available for your sailing.

Included soda at a designated station doesn’t mean every beverage ordered in a lounge or at another outlet is complimentary. Check the menu and location.

Include everyone in the budget.

Disney’s recommended gratuities apply to each guest, including infants and children. Concierge accommodations have a higher recommended amount. We’ll use current guidance when pricing your trip.

Separate gratuities or service charges can apply to purchases such as beverages, premium dining and spa services. Check these alongside the daily recommendation.

Separate the app from the web.

The Navigator app provides onboard planning and guest messaging without buying an internet plan. General web access is a separate purchase, with Internet and Internet + Streaming options.

Choose coverage around what you’ll actually use. Satellite connectivity can vary, so allow for interruptions if work depends on being online.

Confirm the details early.

The minimum age to sail and the nursery’s minimum age need to be checked for your particular route. Share the child’s date of birth before choosing a departure.

Booking windows and availability matter. An adult dining reservation doesn’t automatically secure nursery care for the same hours.

Coordinate the whole day.

Nursery care can be offered while the ship is in port, within posted operating hours and available capacity. Confirm your reserved time before organizing an adults-only outing.

Discuss feeding, naps, supplies and pick-up arrangements with the nursery team. Build some flexibility into the plan.

Prioritize what you’ll use.

Consider whether a window matters, how much time you expect to spend in the cabin and how everyone will sleep. Check the individual room’s features before comparing prices.

Understand the actual view.

Review the outlook, any obstruction and the location. On Disney Adventure, selected verandahs face Disney Imagination Garden or Disney Discovery Reef rather than the open ocean.

Compare a different level of service.

Review the accommodation, dedicated service and lounge access included with the specific ship’s Concierge category. Disney Adventure’s offering includes its own lounge and sundeck.

Confirm the full benefit list and which reservations or services still cost extra.

Make the layout work.

Compare one cabin with connecting rooms when appropriate. Request confirmation of occupancy, connecting doors and bed configurations; adjacent rooms aren’t automatically connecting rooms.

Many Disney accommodations use split bathrooms, but the layout isn’t universal. Verify the specific cabin, especially accessible accommodations.

Have the essentials ready.

Complete required online check-in and follow your assigned port-arrival instructions. Confirm documents for every traveler and any permissions needed for children.

Keep medicines, documents and first-afternoon essentials in your carry-on; delivered luggage may reach your room later.

Attend the assembly drill.

Disney requires every guest to attend the pre-departure assembly drill at the assigned physical station. Follow the ship’s announcements and crew instructions, and have your whole party participate.

Afterward, check the day’s schedule for the sail-away celebration and a good place to watch departure.

Make a short first-day list.

Find your dining venue, youth spaces and key routes around the ship. Check the Navigator app and ask about any arrangements that need attention.

If relevant, visit Guest Services, the dining team or Port Adventures desk for questions. Reservations and changes depend on availability.
