    Hi I am a first timer I wanted to know the process of booking and planning I am planning to go on a cruise with my boyfriend, just wanted a general knowledge on this stuff

    Ahoy, Nana! Welcome aboard planDisney! I love that you’re thinking about a Disney Cruise and planning ahead so everything is in shipshape order when you’re ready to book!

    When my husband and I were dating, we took a cruise together and it absolutely solidified our love of cruising. Let’s just say we’ve been hooked ever since, and we haven’t stopped cruising in our 17 years of marriage!

    Booking a Disney Cruise Line vacation is as easy as saying Bibbidi-Bobbidi-BOOK! Hakuna Matata, Nana. I’ll help you chart a course for adventure and point your compass toward the perfect sailing. To start, you’ll want to decide on a few key things. Where do you want to sail from, which destinations are at the top of your wish list, and what time of year you want to cruise. Disney Cruise Line truly has a sailing for every vacation dream, so having even one or two of these nailed down will make it smooth sailing when you use the search tool on the website to narrow your options.

    I highly recommend exploring the Disney Cruise Line website to learn more about the different destinations, departure ports, and ships available. I’ve sailed on the classic ships like the Disney Wonder and Disney Magic, as well as the newer ships like the Disney Wish, and everything in between! If you love classic nautical themes with lots of timeless Disney charm, you can’t go wrong with the Disney Wonder, Magic, Dream, or Fantasy. If you’re looking for fully immersive storytelling and staterooms that match the magic of the ship, the newer ships like the Disney Wish, Treasure, or Destiny are practically a dream come true. Want some swashbuckling fun with Pirate Night on a Bahamas or Caribbean sailing? Or maybe you’re dreaming of cozying up together while watching icy glaciers roll by? There is a Disney Cruise for every adventure, from sunshine to snowflakes!

    You might also discover you want a little expert help along the way, and that’s where a Disney Cruise Line Cruise Specialist can come in. They’re always happy to help point you in the right direction and provide personalized assistance with booking, so you can relax and enjoy the planning process.

    I hope you and your boyfriend have the most magical time and finish each other’s… sandwiches! After all, love is an open door, and the adventure waiting for you on the high seas has no end!

    Cruise on by again if we can help with any other questions as you continue planning your voyage!

    Happy sailing!
    Kimberly
