Review summary

I believe we will always choose Disney - the ship was impressive. When docked next to other cruise lines, this looked the cleanest, always see maintenance crews painting or detailing.

Service was out of this world - the best I've experienced yet.

We have 4 yr olds and theres was plenty to do for both them and us.

if you take the cruise line bus it starts running from the airport after the terminal opens so if you will miss your boarding time just call the cruise line and let them know you are using the bus and they will fix up your boarding time to whenever you get there

To check in online, simply log in on the DCL website with your reservation number, etc. I assume this is your first Disney cruise. Count back from your sail date 75 days. You can check in online starting at midnight eastern time. I live in the central time zone so I check in at 11:00 pm the night before. The earlier you check in, the better your chances of getting a low boarding number which means you get on the ship early. We usually end up with boarding group 2. Concierge and Platinum castaway members usually get group 1. I hope this helps😄.

Drbornwood:. The Disney Cruise terminal opens around 10:00-10:30. After going through security and checking in, there is a spacious area for guests to wait until boarding time, which usually is about 11:30 or so. You will receive a boarding number when you check in based on when you checked in online. You can also sign kids up for youth activities while you wait. The whole process is quite painless. We have taken 7 DCL cruises.

The best way to do Disney is with the military discount..only one service member or spouse needs to sail..you can buy up to 8 tickets I believe..It was a world class experience..more for families though..activities end early evening

We have done 7 Disney cruises of various lengths on different shops and there is always great service & entertainment. I believe you get what you pay for and while you pay more for a Disney cruise, you will not be disappointed. PS-We have 2 more cruises booked for next year :)

Although it's been 15 years since I've done a Disney cruise, it was awesome with children.

I would always do Disney if I could afford it. But I believe you get what you pay for with Disney. They are still my favorite.

I have done 4 Disney cruises and loved them, but I also enjoy Royal Caribbean ships. They're beautiful and immaculate and tons of activities. Also, cheaper. Lol
