Hi there, Julie!
It's almost time for you to hear these magical words, "Welcome Aboard," and your vacation with Disney Cruise Line will be underway. I was fortunate enough to sail on the
Disney Destiny in November and was wowed by the Black Panther-inspired Grand Hall, especially the showstopper Vibranium chandelier. My crew was greeted by Hero Minnie when we embarked, so be sure to look up three decks to the small balcony to see who's there. It will be a magical space throughout the sailing.
Julie, splashtacular fun on the
AquaMouse is usually available before the Let's Set Sail deck party, so you'll want to check your
Disney Cruise Line Navigator app either in the cruise terminal or once aboard for the hours of operation on embarkation day. You can do that after connecting to the DCL-Guest Wi-Fi. Typically, it operates from noon to 3:00 pm and from 4:30 pm to 9:00 pm. Weather or maintenance issues can cause a delay or closure, so fingers crossed, you'll be able to don your swimsuits and zip through those tunnels shortly after boarding. Be sure to have your swimsuits, sunscreen, and flip-flops in your carry-on, as the pool deck can get hot. Sing a Silly Song is only on the Disney Destiny, so be sure you've experienced this story before the end of the cruise.
There is so much to look forward to later this week, Julie. Keeping an eye on all the magical fun on your
Disney Cruise Line Navigator app will help you hit all your must-dos. And I know you'll be glad to have 5 nights to experience all the Heroes and Villains entertainment and activities. Disney Cruise Line assembled the most epic lineup for this ship.
Safe travels and bon voyage,
Nancy
