Hi, Priyanka!
Welcome to Disney Cruise Line! I am excited that this is your first cruise. You are in for such an adventure at sea with Captains Mickey and Minnie at the helm. They are excited to have you onboard for your magical cruise!
I think you will find that a Disney Cruise is a very easy vacation even if sailing for the first time. Once you board the ship, simply check the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator App to check out all the activities that are scheduled. Even your dinner time will be set so all you need to do is show up at your assigned dining room during your scheduled time and enjoy an amazing dinner. Your servers will follow you each night during your
rotational dining so you will get to know your team well.
Prior to your cruise, there are a few steps to take care of. First, make sure you have your final payments made at 120 days. You will also want to do your online check-in. Since this is your first cruise, you may complete your check-in 30 days prior to your departure date. During your check-in you will need to provide information such as pre- and post-cruise travel plans, passport information, credit card information, and a photo of each person in your travel party. It is an easy process that take about 10-15 minutes to complete.
The most important thing to have prior to your cruise is proper
Travel Documentation with proof of citizenship. Please read through the information on
Passports, Visas, and Travel Documentation to ensure you have the required documents for your particular cruise.
Give a call to Disney Cruise Line if you have any questions. Planning ahead is very important as you do not want any glitches when you arrive at the cruise port.
I do not know your ship or itinerary, but if you are stopping at any Ports of Call, you may be interested in booking
Port Adventures. These may be booked prior to your cruise or you may choose to stop by the Port Adventures Desk once onboard your ship.
I am attaching a podcast that some of my planDisney pals filmed where they talk about First Time Cruising. I think you will find it super helpful!
Have fun as you count down to your magical Disney Cruise!
Cathy
