    What happen the morning of disembarkation? Can we get breakfast? What time do we leave our room? What time do we get off the ship?

    Hi, Deborah!

    Every minute of a Disney Cruise Line vacation is magical up until the last minute of your cruise. While you do need to leave your stateroom by 8:00am, your amazing dining staff will be waiting to serve you one last meal before debarking the ship. 

    The last morning of your cruise you will have 2 breakfast options.  You may enjoy the buffet at your convenience, or for a sit-down breakfast, head to the dining room you were in the last night of your cruise. You will be given an assigned time, usually 6:45 am if you had early dining and 8:00 am for late dining. 

    Once breakfast is over, sadly so is your cruise. If you are a "walk off" and carrying your own luggage, you may leave once the ship is cleared (usually between 7am - 7:30 am). For those who need to retrieve their luggage at the port, please wait for your assigned luggage tag character to be called. All guests will be off the ship by 9:30 am. As you leave the ship, each guest must scan their Key to the World card and have their documentation ready for customs. 

    If you are like me and cannot wait to cruise again, secure your next cruise by booking a Placeholder Reservation. You will find this option on your Disney Cruise Line Navigator App. Simply make a $250 refundable deposit, then you have 2 years to book your next magical voyage. With the placeholder, you will receive a 10% discount on a future cruise booking (subject to blockout dates and availability). I always feel better leaving my Disney Cruise knowing I will be back onboard real soon!

    Deborah, I hope your cruise is magical from your magical introduction when boarding until your very last goodbye to your cruise staff. Bon Voyage!

Hi, I'm Cathy from Cleveland. I love to travel, especially in the winter to escape the cold of Ohio!
