Welcome aboard, Lizann! Congratulations on your very first Disney Cruise Line adventure! I'm so excited for you and your family to set sail for the very first time with Captain Mickey and his crew.
My husband and I really enjoy trying out the different
Beverage Tastings while onboard the ships. Our favorite so far has been the Chocolate and Liquor pairing, but we've also enjoyed the Tequila and Margarita Tasting, Martini Tasting, Mixology class, and a few more. No matter what your taste, there's a Beverage Seminar for you! The prices are always subject to change, but currently range from $23 per person to around $40 per person, depending on the specific seminar. Believe me when I say that you get well more than your money's worth during these tastings. When it's time for you to begin online check-in (75 days prior to sailing for
first time cruisers with Disney), you'll have the chance to book your activities online. Prices and availability will be clearly listed there so you can choose your activities based on your budget.
Now, let's talk Port Adventures! You simply must experience at least one of Disney's magical Port Adventures during your sailing. I'm not sure I can give you an average price for those, as they very widely, but check out the
Port Adventures page of Disney Cruise Line's website. Click on the itinerary you'll be experiencing, and then you can use the drop down box on the left to select each specific port of call and see what is offered, with details and pricing. You didn't mention which itinerary you'll be enjoying, Lizann, but if you have specific questions or want recommendations, please stop back again with more details and we're happy to help point you to some of our favorite must-do's!
Have such fun planning!
