This cruise is a special Christmas themed cruise with special entertainment, decorations and treats!
The cruise offers rotational dining so we will be going to a different restaurant each night! The dress code is cruise casual! No tank tops or swimwear ! With our reservation numbers the wedding planner will assign us seating next to each other at dinner every night ! There were two options for dining, we chose the second seating which is 8 pm, this will give us more time to enjoy activities if anyone chooses to debark the ship.
Everyone is welcome to do their own thing! We will all be eating together every night during the cruise! There are many activities offered for kids and adults! Mike and I plan to communicate through the Disney cruise navigator app to let you all know if we plan to go to a specific event and all are welcome to join!
Room service is available 24 hours except debarkation morning when it’s only available until 1:30am. The service is free! You can order through the Disney App or call on the phone in your cabin. You also have the option to fill out the order form in your stateroom desk drawer and place it on the outside doorknob of your stateroom before 3 am for breakfast !
