3 Night Halloween on the high seas?

[frostymom]

I booked one for my son's 13th birthday! We board on his birthday. It's a surprise I'm not telling him until we drive to the airport. It will be the two of us and his younger brother who is 10.
Our cruise is only 3 nights how in the world do they fit in everything? We are scheduled to go to Castaway and to Nassau. I'm planning on staying on the ship at Nassau since it's such a short Cruise. Please tell me everything I need to know to help make the most of this very short Cruise. A very short Cruise celebrating my boy becoming a teenager as a surprise trip! Also fish extenders how do I prepare these while my children have no idea what we're going to do.

Thanks in advance.

Ok it sounds like it may be your first cruise, congrats! If I were you, I would stay on the ship, on a 4 night I would go off, but on a 3 you don't get that sea day . A big highlight of a disney cruise for some people is the aqua duck. (dream class only) If you want to ride this 50 plus times, book the early dinner seating and go right after. We've NEVER had a wait. A day on the boat will help you simply do the majority of things on board, that will help you make the most of it. I will tell you some things to do while on the ship. Mini Golf, Aqua Duck, see a movie, see a show, for you mother, send your kids to the club or just let them wonder around the ship and you go to the lido deck or sun deck and just relax. Your kids will like the clubs. Someone else will probably have better input. Sorry for that. Happy Sailing!

Order you FEs online or through Disney gifts. Your kids won't be the wiser.

They put both the Halloween and Pirate activities on the same day. Halloween during the day, Pirates at night.

Be sure to find your cruise meet thread to sign up for the Fish Extender exchange. Although, on a 3 night, you may actually want to skip it (with so much to squeeze into, basically, 2 days). You could still hang a FE and slip your own little gifts into it, if you want them to receive such items.

thanks for the tips. With it only being three nights, it just seem so much to do in such a short period Of time and the Halloween on the high seas adds so much to get already exciting jam-packed ship.

I just saw this cruises leaving on my son's birthday decided to book it period after thinking about it I'm like holy smokes that's going to be a quickie period so excited about the Halloween stuff I've always wanted to do something Halloween at Disney!
