Welcome aboard, Monica!
What an awesome trip your 2 families will be taking... that's an awesome vacation on the books! Joint family vacations are so much fun, and being on the Disney Cruise ship allows everyone to have something to do. There's something for everyone onboard, and I'm sure your buccaneers will have loads of adventures together.
Once you book your cruise and have your reservation numbers handy, you can link your reservations together. It's easy! Just call the Disney Cruise Travel Desk at 1-800-951-3532 and the agent can do it all for you. Your dinner rotations and seating arrangements can then be linked and your families can enjoy dinner together. For your group size, you might not get 1 table, but the dining team can arrange your dining tables to be right next to each other.
Once you log into the
My Online CheckIn page, you can also plan on port adventures and onboard activities together since your reservations will be linked. This comes helpful especially if you are coordinating any Palo dinner or brunch reservations for the adults, or if you are planning any group activities at the ports that you are visiting. Maybe you and your best friend might want to coordinate some Spa time together while the kids are busy at the Youth Clubs?
This vacation sounds awesome, Monica! Please do let us know if you have any additional questions that we can help answer. We're always glad to help!
Have a pixie dusted day!
