Welcome Aboard, Tammy!
If you're a planner like me, you want to know exactly what each day of your vacation will look like. I like to make schedules, keep lists, and check things off as I go!
On a Disney Cruise, there are some activities you'll be able to plan in advance - Port Adventures, Spa Treatments, and Adult-Exclusive Dining. All other onboard activities are subject to change, and schedules can be altered up until your sail date. While you'll most certainly get to choose from lots of fun offerings such as cooking classes, character greetings, and more, there's no set schedule of these activities available prior to your sailing.
Each day onboard, you'll receive a Personal Navigator - a detailed schedule of everything happening on the ship, with times and locations. I've found that there are websites where past cruisers post copies of the Navigators from their sailings. Looking at daily schedules from the most recent cruise with the same itinerary usually provides a pretty good snapshot of what you can expect on your cruise. Simply search for "Disney Cruise Line Personal Navigators" online to locate these sites.
Once onboard, I like to have colored highlighters so each family member can highlight their favorite "can't-miss" events in our Personal Navigator. We also like to use the new
Disney Cruise Navigator App, where we can each make a list of our favorite things to do.
I hope this helps with your planning! Have a magical day! - Diane W.
