Tag Archives: Disney Cruise

One of our absolute favorite vacations is on the Disney Cruise Line.  I was late to the game in discovering the wonder that is cruising, but thanks to my wife, I have found the light.  We first started cruising as a family in 2009 when Hunter was two years old.  We have only been on the Disney ships because of their amazing service, food and destinations.

 

Of the four Disney Cruise ships (as of 2018) we have only been on three of the four as a family (Sawyer has only been on two of them).  While we enjoy the Disney Dream and Fantasy because the their size and offerings, we also the Wonder because it feels a bit more quaint (even though it is pretty massive as well).  On recent cruises we have captured on fun in video.  Check out some of our most popular Disney Cruise videos below:

 

Our favorite Disney Cruise vacation of all of them so far has been the ten night Caribbean cruise that we took in the summer of 2017.  The itinerary was amazing in that it included five island stops at Aruba, Curacao, St. Kitts, Tortola and Disney’s private island of Castaway Cay.  Mixed in between these one of a kind island stops were relaxing days at sea to regroup for the adventures ahead.  Definitely a once in a lifetime vacation but one that we will never forget.

 

Below is a list of the dates and itineraries that we have been on to date.  Those that have hyperlinks have additional blog posts and photos of our travel adventures.
