Welcome to planDisney Niamh! Thank you for sailing by with your question. We took my mom on her first Disney Cruise Line vacation this past summer, and she enjoyed herself. She liked doing crafts and going to Anyone Can Cook. We gave her plenty of time to relax but made sure she got out and about sometimes.
Since your mom is in a different stateroom, she will not be able to join you in the exclusive
Castaway Club Member cruise terminal line. She will need to go through the first-time Guest line. Even though you will need to separate temporarily, you can get back together on the other side of the cruise terminal check-in. You still may need to wait until your boarding group is called. If you have different boarding group numbers, you can board the ship together when the higher of the two boarding group numbers is called. There will be some photo opportunities before boarding the ship, so don’t forget to take advantage of those!
Niamh, I hope your mom enjoys her first Disney Cruise Line vacation and will be ready for her own Castaway Club Silver member lanyard on her next cruise. Before you all disembark, you can check out the
Onboard Booking Offer for a future cruise. This is a great way to plan your next sailing before finishing your current sailing.
If you have any other questions, come back to visit us at
planDisney anytime.
Happy Planning!
