Tuesday 27th August: Embarkation day (cont) Our muster station was the main level of the Walt Disney Theatre on deck 3 at 4pm. Lexi then wanted to go to the Sail Awave party on the main pool deck 11, at 4.30. This was not something we’d done before as I try to avoid very crowded areas. We...

Tuesday 27th August: Embarkation day (cont) The girls relaxed on the verandah The toys got comfortable. Patch (African wild dog) and Speedy (panda) might not look very Disney but they were both adopted from the Jambo House gift shop many years ago. We sent this photo to Darren. You need...

Tuesday 27th August: Embarkation day (cont) We didn’t have much time to do anything before the muster drill, so headed back to the room for a while. We checked out the quieter family pool behind the funnel on the way back And the view Some room photos before we unpacked and messed it up

Tuesday 27th August: Embarkation day (cont) Some more Vanellope’s photos

Tuesday 27th August: Embarkation day (cont) We then headed on up to Cabanas which was remarkably quiet, we were probably after the worst of the lunch rush. Even though there were plenty of tables inside, it was such a lovely day that we decided to eat outside My plate of food, the fish was...

Tuesday August 27th: Embarkation day (cont) Our boarding group was finally called, we opted to skip the boarding photo, and we joined the queue to board the ship. Rather than a straight tunnel this one had switchbacks and moved quite slowly. We were watching the luggage being loaded as we...

If anyone’s interested I have started writing a trip report. It was in this forum but has been moved to the cruise line one. I think the link works, I’m not the best with technology...

Tuesday August 27th: Embarkation day We’d stayed in Winchester, about 15 miles from Southampton, the night before so only had a short journey on the morning of the cruise. The main road towards Southampton was reasonably clear until we got to the city itself. It’s then a very different...

Loving your trip report, your granddaughters are adorable. I remember clearly riding these on my first visit in 1991 I think. I was convinced they were real, and I was an adult, kids must have loved them

@wdwmagic can I ask why my trip report has been moved to the cruise line forum, I would prefer it stayed in the trip report forum. I’ve seen many other cruise only reports in the trip report forum along with Disneyland only reports, and assumed it was ok to post there

We’ve been back now for almost a week from our cruise, and I’ve had time to gather my thoughts and photos. It was five nights on the Dream from Southampton to Northern Spain. I knew before going that it was going to be a different experience from our previous cruises, but I really wasn’t...

Following along, how lovely to spend time with just you and your daughter. Sounds just like my 15 year old. Her clothes become unfashionable overnight Late August has always been a popular time for those of us from the UK. Schools here start back at the beginning of September

Glad you had a great time. I have kids and on 6 cruises have never spent time in the main pool area. The family hot tub this time was 🤢 Got to get that placeholder booked. We didn’t after our first cruise and regretted it

How did you enjoy the overall cruise experience? We had a mostly lovely time but it was definitely very different from our previous cruises. I hope to start the trip report in the next few days, after I get my land legs back.

Not the best photo, you don’t get a full view of the ship approaching Southampton. All checked in and waiting to board

Thank you. It’s my first time cruising from this country. I’ve only ever cruised from Port Canaveral as part of a Disney trip before, and used their transport and luggage service. So it’s all a bit new and I’m slightly nervous about it. But very excited

This trip was a very last minute booking. It was Lexi’s birthday on the 7th August and the night before my husband was joking around with her and asking if there were any extra presents she wanted. The answer to that question from any of us is always Disney. I’d been on the cruise line website...

Thank you

So with 2 sleeps to go, barely any packing done and excitement bubbling over, I thought I would share my upcoming Disney cruise with you all. I did write a trip report a long, long time ago in the before times (January 2020) about running the Dopey challenge during marathon weekend and going on...

Thanks for the reply. I won’t get there too early then, I don’t want to be one of those people that just gets in the way. I have managed to modify my arrival time to 1.15, so a bit better. We’re staying in Winchester the night before now, not driving down in the morning, so will be easier. We...
