You can surprise your travel companions with a complimentary Disney Character call. Additionally, consider arranging ground transportation and adding vacation protection for a worry-free experience. Also, ensure all your travel documents are up to date.
2. Once your onboard activities booking window opens: The onboard activities booking window usually opens 3 to 5 months before sailing and it’s the perfect time to enhance your Disney cruise experience. Booking early offers exclusive access to a wide range of premium activities and port Adventures, ensuring you secure your preferred choices.
3. Once your check-in opens: As your Disney cruise approaches, it is crucial to utilise the Online Check-In process, which becomes available approximately 1 to 2 months prior to sailing. This important step enables you to select a Port Arrival Time, facilitating a smooth embarkation experience. Furthermore, it provides an opportunity to request any Special Services required, finalise your ground transportation arrangements, and review the exciting onboard activities available for booking.
4. One week before sailing: As you approach the magical day of your Disney cruise, complete your Online Check-In and select a Port Arrival Time to ensure a smooth embarkation. Don’t forget to review and reserve any onboard activities you want to enjoy, from spa treatments to special dining experiences. Pack your essentials and get ready for a fantastic adventure at sea!
5. Embarkation day: Congratulations! The day has finally arrived for your Disney cruise adventure! To ensure a smooth embarkation, make sure you’ve checked off a few essential items. Have your travel documents and Port Arrival form ready, and don’t forget your Disney luggage tags. Complete the mandatory Health Questionnaire via the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app and stay tuned for notifications.
6. Once Aboard: Once aboard your Disney cruise, familiarise yourself with the ship and its magical amenities during open house hours. Don’t miss the Mandatory Safety Drill, ensuring everyone is prepared for the journey ahead. Explore themed lounges, dine at exquisite restaurants, and discover kids’ clubs filled with fun activities. Use the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app for onboard Wi-Fi options for connectivity. Moreover, be sure to check out the Port Adventures Desk to plan your excursions at each port.
