Welcome Aboard, Sheri!
I'm thrilled to hear you're considering a Disney Cruise with your granddaughter! What a special time you'll share together, sailing the high seas with Captain Mickey and his crew.
I understand your hesitation as a first time cruiser- not knowing what to expect can make you anxious about sailing away for a vacation at sea. No need to worry - safe, secure operation of the Disney ships and the safety and well-being of the guests and crew are Disney Cruise Line's top priority!
The bright yellow life boats on the Disney ships are well-equipped to carry all the passengers to safety in the unlikely event of an emergency. Fun fact: Disney was the first cruise line to be granted permission by the U.S. Coast Guard to have yellow life boats instead of the customary orange. Disney's life boats are yellow to keep with the special "Disney color-theming" of the ship. Disney magic really is in every detail!
You can find out more about safety information and procedures
here. Disney Cruise Line is committed to providing guests with the highest level of safety and security so the main focus of your voyage can be making memories and having
FUN.
Please come back and visit us here at the Moms Panel as you begin to plan your magical Disney Cruise vacation with your granddaughter. We're more than happy to help you plan a trip of a lifetime!
Have a magical day! - Diane W.
