Day 1

 

Laundry machine onboard!

 

Another item Royal Caribbean could benefit having onboard.  My family was on the DREAM once years ago.  It was so great.  My girls and I were supposed to go back in 2020, but it wasn't meant to be.  Now they seem to be disinterested for a Disney cruise.

Such a different vibe from your other cruises! Fascinating stuff.

Wow now I understand why Disney cruise is pricey.  Ship is beautiful but too many kids for this old gal.

[Max and Ruby]

Thanks for the pictures so far.  Looks very magical at Christmas!  Make sure you don't miss the fireworks on Pirate night!  We were lucky to view those from our aft balcony to avoid crowds.  LOL!

I have to ask.  Was the tree lighting and all the "Waiting for Santa" stuff to arrive particular to this cruise sailing date, or does Disney do this on all its ships and each time a new cruise departs from Thanksgiving to Christmas?   I'm asking mainly because I'm interested in taking my Daughter and family, who are big Disney fans on a Disney cruise.

I read that Disney was going back to in person Muster Drills.

 

That first day buffet looked fabulous!

Sadly I experienced it first hand and not a fan 😆

You really have to like Disney to enjoy it fully.  I like it but not a super fan but I am enjoying my cruise experience and the great dinner provided at the dinning room.  I also liked the entertainment!

Hi Benny,

How's the internet on this cruise?

Do they have Starlink?

Thank you.

[Hogladyrider]

@BennyBrun...I'm guessing internet issues as your posts have been missing.  Hope all is well.

Aloha. Yes…I noticed Benny has not been posting as often as he used to. I think technology on Disney and his previous cruise on NCL has been the cause. i know we all love and enjoy his remarkable posts and thank him for spending the time he does to share his voyages with us. Wishing him well and a smooth voyage!

I apologize but the internet on here is less than desirable.  It’s the worst on all the lines I have been on.  Expensive and issues galore… but the pictures continue on now that I am off.

So sorry … internet issues!  But here we go … they play that when you wish upon a star tune ALOT!  Every time they make an announcement

Atrium Characters meet and greet… this is where you can use up a lot of your time in the afternoon… each character is about 30 minutes wait time and after you see two or three you are ready for either dinner or a show.

[BennyBrun]

Day 2

 

Disney’s Beauty and the Beast… amazing show … very popular… no reservations but that’s because they only have set time Dinning and NO BUFFET day night!  If you have late Dinning you see early show if you have early dinning you see late show.  You really are on their schedule at night if you want to sit down and dine!
