2013 Disney Cruise - Disney Dream 3-night Bahamian Cruise (Part 2)

Welcome to Part 2 of my Disney Dream 3-night Bahamian Cruise post.  In this post, I will share details on our Disney Cruise trip.   Just a FYI, we are 2 adults going on Disney Cruise, so I don't have a lot information or details to share on the activities or details on board for kids.  As part of Disney, they do have plenty of activities and events for kids.

We arrived at the Orlando Airport (MCO) around 11am.  We went down to level 1, side B to check in for the Disney Cruise Line shuttle, which share the same desk as Magical Express to Disney World.  They assigned you to different group to get on separate shuttle.  After getting on the shuttle, the driver played a introductory video on the Disney Cruise.  The ride was about 45 to 55min.  When arriving at the port, you will be guided into the check-in lobby where you will check-in and receive your room card.  The room card need to be kept with you at all time.  It can also be serve as your credit card while on board on the ship.  As you step on board the ship, they will announce and greet each family separately.   If you arrive early, the state room might not be ready yet.   Therefore, we went to Cabanas to grab our first meal and enjoyed a nice drink.  As soon as the stateroom was ready, we went to our room to drop the luggage and freshen up.  Before departure, there is safety drill that everyone need to attend.  A quick video here to show our trip from Airport to the Cruise and our stateroom.

Everyday that you are on board of the cruise, they will give you a Navigator which include all the shows and activity on board.  They will also provide you with Nassau map and Castaway Cay map the day before your arrival.  The night before returning to US, a Welcome Home instruction sheet was also given.

Depending on your dining rotation assignment, you will also have different time assigned to watch the nightly Disney show.  I highly recommend you to not miss these truly entertaining Disney shows.  All 3 of main dining are pretty decent with different theme at each restaurant.

Since it was our first time at Nassau, we decided to take the Nassau and Atlantis tour.  It was nice tour around Nassau in their shuttle and a nice trip to Atlantis resort and it's aquarium.  I would recommend the tour to all first-timer.

  
For the 3rd day, we arrived at the beautiful Castaway Cay, Disney's Private island.  It was very nice with no pollution.   You can rent varieties of equipments to play on the beach.  We also signed up for para sailing which was a great experience and definitely worth it.  It was a very relaxing day at the beach.

 For people who are not interested in beach activities, there are plenty to do on the ship also.  There is a nice movie theater that plays Disney movies from early morning to midnight.  The movie schedule is included in the daily Navigator and there is a few showing for 3D movies.  I would also highly recommend to try out Aqua Duck on Disney Dream both during daytime and nighttime (as the tube light up at night).  Bottom line is you will never be board on Disney Cruise!  It was an awesome trip and I would definitely do it again!

Thank you for visiting and reading my post!  I don't want to bore you with a lot of details, but if you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comment!  (Or if there is any other photos you would like me to post)
