food IS a theme park
COVID-19 requirements are changing on a variety of cruise lines.
The Disney Wish
We’ve already seen some major cruise lines drop their testing requirements or otherwise change their rules, but now another major cruise line is changing things in a big way.
Cruises are a great opportunity to capture amazing pictures, whether you want a totally aesthetic Instagram feed or prefer to go old school with a photo album.
We can only hope to look as cute as Captain Minnie!
Poolside photos and family portraits at dinner are great ways to remember your vacation, and if you are taking a destination cruise you will probably be snapping a lot of pics at your different ports of call!
Your living space on a cruise can sometimes feel like you’re sleeping in a closet.
MEGASHIP! … with itty bitty living space
Even if you plan on spending most of your time out on the deck or in your ports of call, you should still feel comfortable in the place you rest your head.
We are proud to say that quite a few of us are cruise-pros!
The Disney Wish
After compiling tips from our own experience and completing outside research, we are sharing with you these products so you can step up your cruise game.
Cruises have seen a lot of changes over the past couple of years.
Disney Wish docked at Castaway Cay
With the global pandemic, we’ve seen different testing policies and vaccination requirements on cruise ships, including Disney Cruise Line. But, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently ended its program for monitoring cruises, and some cruise lines have already made changes. Now, another major cruise line is following suit.
Sure, going on a cruise for a week is fun — the endless soft-serve ice cream, the pools, the entertainment, and (of course) the food. But what if you had to live on a cruise for MONTHS as part of your job? Would working on a cruise ship be the stuff of your dreams or a nightmare in disguise? Today we find out.
Disney Dream
We actually spoke to a number of individuals who have lived on cruise ships as part of their jobs and let’s just say, things are INTERESTING. There are a whole bunch of secrets, exciting things, and not-so-great parts that you probably never knew about when it comes to life on a cruise ship. So put on that sunscreen, grab a beach towel, and take some time with us to investigate the unique life of living and working on a floating hotel and entertainment venue.
After years of anticipation, we FINALLY got to set sail on the Disney Wish cruise ship!
The Grand Staircase
This brand-new ship took its inaugural sailing recently, and we were invited on board as media guests to check out all the offerings. During our few short days, we tried a LOT of food at the Wish’s various restaurants and snack stands, with everything from fine dining to sweet treats. And speaking of sweet treats, there’s one spot you’ll want to check out on the Disney Wish when you’re in the mood for a frozen dessert!
If you’re a fan of Frozen or have a little one who is, you’ve been WARNED. ❄️ 🚨
Arendelle
Disney Cruise Line’s NEW mega ship — the Disney Wish — features one-of-a-kind experiences — from a Star Wars-themed lounge to a Marvel-themed dining experience. But there’s something special onboard for Frozen fans too! Arendelle: A Frozen Dining Adventure is an interactive dinner experience that’ll put you at the center of all the fun. Thanks to a media invite, we’ve been able to explore ALL of the Disney Wish, including Arendelle. Is this spot a must-do for Frozen fans? Is it reason enough for you to book a cruise on the Wish A.S.A.P.? Let’s dine at this spot and find out together!
Going on a Disney Cruise can be expensive enough as it is, but if you want to unlock an incredibly special experience while on Disney’s newest ship (The Disney Wish) you’ll need to get ready to shell out some serious cash!
Hyperspace Lounge
We’ve made our way around the Disney Wish, explored the staterooms, ate at the restaurants, and (of course) we took you along for the ride. One other spot we got the chance to see is the special Star Wars Hyperspace Lounge aboard the ship. We’ve checked out some of the details here already, but now we’ve got some news about an extra special experience you can ONLY unlock here!
A Disney Cruise Line vacation isn’t exactly cheap.
Time for a Cruise?
Even a quick cruise to the Bahamas on Disney Cruise Line could cost your family thousands of dollars. But, just what does your money cover? Sodas? Meals? Special events? We’re going over all of that right here so you can decide if the cost of a Disney Cruise and what it includes is worth it for you.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
