What this guide covers

Book the right sailing and stateroom

Compare ships and travel dates, consider inside, oceanview, verandah, and concierge rooms, and ask about the location and deck before choosing a room number.

Reserve experiences when booking opens

Plan ahead for specialty dining, port adventures, cabanas, character experiences, spa appointments, ground transfers, and themed days at sea.

Get ready for embarkation

Check your travel documents, download the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app, arrange arrival the day before sailing, and pack a carry-on with medications and swimwear.
