Departure Days for 3/4 day cruises?

[Wendy_Darling_2001]

Hi everyone,

We had wanted to take the 7 day cruise next May after our Disney wedding but have to change plans due to the repositioning of the Magic. Are there certain days that the 3/4 day cruises depart? Trying to figure out our schedule as we are getting married on a Monday!

Thanks everyone!

Thank you Sandy for the quick response and the "congrats"! DISers are such nice people!

I am assuming a 3 day cruise is 2 nights and would arrive back in port on Saturday? Where can I find out what time departure is on Thursday and what time arrival is on Saturday?

Actually, it's a "3-night" cruise. It returns on Sunday morning. Here's a link to the actual published itinerary. The ship usually gets in early, before 6:00am, and clears Customs sometime between 7:30 and 8:00 AM. Departure time on Thursday is 5:00 PM. This is when the ship actually leaves. Boarding begins around noon, and you should be on the ship at the very least an hour before departure. The terminal opens at 10:30ish in the morning. I would guess that most people are on board by early afternoon.

Thank you Lloyd!

I didn't even think to go to the official Disney website to look for information, I always think of the DISboards first!

I am glad it is a 3 NIGHT cruise not 2!
