First Time Cruisers

[Cinbride]

We almost went to disney this past year for our honeymoon but were unable to. We are now looking at going on a 7 day cruise next May. I was hoping you guys could help get us started on what things we should be looking at.

Thanks.

It depends on what type of things you are interested in... Although I have never cruised before, I was looking for the magic that Disney is famous for. DH was/is kinda tired of WDW so this is a great compromise. We are kidless and so that was a concern for us. Would there be just way too many kids to deal with? I don't think so. Due to the time of year we are going, I believe most people will be back to work and kids back in school during the week after Thanksgiving. BTW, great time to go to WDW. No crowds, lines or waiting for anything, plus you get the benefit of all the christmas decorations. Plus, most kids are (from what I have read) well-behaved or in other locations on the ship and won't be in the way. We were also looking for a bit of beach time and from what I have read, there is plenty of that available.

Well, like I said, it just depends on what you are looking for. Do plenty of research. These boards are great for that, as well as www.castawayclub.com and even Disney's site. Keep us informed on what you pick...and welcome to the DIS!

I have a great summary of what cruise newbies should take a look at, at my web site...
