Once on Board

Announcing the Family

​Boarding the ship, your family name is announced and the cast members line the entrance and clap.

Lobby Decorations

Setting set sail with Disney Cruise Line on Black Friday, you walked onto a Very Merrytime Cruise.  DCL takes the wonder of Christmas and adds their own creative touch to create an experience that is purely magical.

We walked in and saw a life-sized gingerbread house and a huge Christmas tree. The cast members even wore scarves!
​

There was so much to see in the amazing lobby. I just paused to take it all in. Then ​I jumped in line at guest services to sign us up for anything that we could. We got tickets for the gingerbread house decorating class and a few tips about things that were going on that afternoon.

Lunch on the Ship

With an 11:30AM boarding time, we had plenty of time to get on board and make it to the buffett  before there were just a ton of folks in line. It was nice to stop and make a plan together about how we were going to slip up and wander all over the Wonder.  

Touring the Ship

We heard there were tours of the ship, but we took off on our own and explored and wandered around. Stairs up each deck and from one end to the other, we saw the kids club, pools, and resturants. We saw it all!
