Hi all! First post on the
DCL Forum. We hoped to sail on DCL for the first time this year and ... well, that's not happening. Decided to book the 4-Night Baja Cruise on the Wonder, departing San Diego on April 26. We fully realize we may need to cancel this trip or - at the very least - lower our expectations. But, honestly, we just need something to look forward to.
If all goes well, this will be our daughter's first time on a cruise ship. We (mom and dad) have been on several cruises, just never on DCL. She'll be 6 when we sail and we're booked in a Verandah room (midship, category 05A).
I'm just curious if veteran DCL parents have anything tips to share? Anything they wished they knew before their first sailing as parents ... how do we make this as stress-free as possible for all of us? Even the little things like, do we pack several of her costumes or skip it, since she'll be in swimsuits the whole time?
Depending on how things progress with COVID-19, we may add three days in
Disneyland before the cruise. Not sure if that would influence anyone's advice. Thanks in advance!
