ANECDOTE

First-Time Family Cruise On The Treasure

  • Tom and Karen sailed their first Disney cruise on the new Disney Treasure for seven nights to the western Caribbean.
  • They chose the Treasure for its park-themed spaces like the Haunted Mansion bar and 20,000 Leagues references.
ADVICE

Stop By The DVC Desk Daily

  • Visit the DVC desk onboard each day for rotating free items like magnets, lanyards, and sometimes useful swag.
  • DVC owners can get a free lanyard even without Castaway Club status, so check the desk schedule daily.
ADVICE

Show Up Later To Possibly Board Early

  • Arrive with your port arrival time but expect staff to admit you early if they're caught up.
  • Don't assume strict entry windows; later arrival times often board early when processing is ahead.
