Ahoy there, Maricel! Welcome to planDisney. As a first time Disney Cruise Line voyager, there are so many things to look forward to! From
character greetings to splashing around in the
pool to
live shows and entertainment, there is something for everyone.
Royal Gathering is one of the more popular activities and tends to be booked very quickly. If you checked for openings on multiple days, I suggest continuing to check for openings leading up to your sailing. You can visit Guest Services on embarkation day to ask about openings, but it is not guaranteed. If you are not able to secure a reservation, please check the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator app once onboard for scheduled character meet and greets throughout your sailing. I suggest lining up at the designated location early because the characters are visiting with Guests for a limited amount of time.
The app is also useful for viewing dining menus, entertainment times, and chatting with family and friends who you are cruising with. You will also find your ship's deck plan just in case you find yourself turned around. Consider it your treasure map to all of the fun Disney Cruise Line offers!
Maricel, if you have any other questions, come back to visit me and my
planDisney pals. We love helping first-time Guests as well as experienced cruisers plan their upcoming vacations.
Adventure is out there!
