Day 3 – November 12, 2023 – Castaway Cay

Our cruise is a four-night Bahamian cruise, and we’ll enjoy a stop in Nassau, Bahamas, and Disney Castaway Cay. Disney’s Castaway Cay, a 1,000-acre private island with turquoise waters, powdery white sand beaches, and swaying palm trees exclusive to Disney Cruise Line guests. With an authentic island barbecue and plenty of snorkeling and water sports, Castaway Cay provides a day of adventure, relaxation, and quality time with the family. Mickey and Minnie’s Holiday Party, another brand-new experience on these special sailings, will invite families to the upper decks for a one-of-a-kind celebration at sea filled with good tidings and cheer.

Santa’s Winter Wonderland Ball is decent, but it’s also way too short, and the substance of the show is over far too quickly. Disney describes these as “Broadway-style” entertainment, but that’s not even remotely accurate. These are not proper shows, they’re mostly character greetings with a mild musical component. If you’re expecting Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration or even A Totally Tomorrowland Christmas, lower your expectations. Castaway Cay does have an on-theme Christmas tree, which is really well done.

During the Christmas cruise sailings, DCL features a festive fireworks display complete with Christmas music that’s sure to get you in the holiday spirit. With festive holiday decor, themed food, Christmas activities, holiday merchandise, and more, the Disney Christmas cruises in November and December are a great time of year to set sail. Since this itinerary was themed as one of the Very Merrytime cruises, we were able to experience extra special Christmas decorations and activities while onboard. Sailing on one of these Merrytime voyages is a great way to experience the magic of the holidays.

Day 2 – November 11, 2023 – Nassau, Bahamas

Also expect several meet-and-greets with Disney characters dressed in their holiday best, along with none other than Santa Claus himself. No matter which ship in the Disney Cruise Line fleet you are sailing, the whole family will have a blast experiencing the Christmas season with a hint of tropical flair. Before you book a Disney Christmas cruise, you may be wondering what happens on the Very Merrytime cruises. Disney Cruise Line goes all out in their holiday decorations and entertainment.

If you are booked on a Very Merrytime Disney cruise (basically any cruise during the months of November and December), expect a little added joy throughout your sailing. This week, we’ll be sharing articles about preparing for a cruise and what needs to be done before you leave. We’ll also begin our Travel Logs, beginning with our travel day to Fort Lauderdale on November 29 and ending on our final day of the cruise. With Disney Cruise Line’s updated internet at sea service, we’re confident we’ll be able to share lots of photos and videos. If you haven’t already, be sure to follow us on Instagram, where we will share so much of our cruise experience in real-time. You can also follow the hashtag #disneylistscruiseweek so you don’t miss a thing!

The entire stage company gets in on the act caroling and dancing to classic Christmas tunes, magically activating the ship’s central gathering space. You may be wondering what the weather in the Caribbean is like during the Disney Christmas cruises. The truth is that the temperature can fluctuate each day, but we’ve always lucked out with warm weather.

Port Everglades’ location in the heart of South Florida and the neighboring Caribbean makes it one of the three busiest cruise ports in the world, typically hosting nearly 4 million passengers annually. Guests enjoy the Port’s proximity to three international airports, including the rapidly growing Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) less than two miles away. In 2021, Disney Cruise Line announced the addition of Port Everglades as Disney’s second year-round homeport (with Port Canaveral in Central Florida being the first). The Disney Dream set sail from the port for the first time on November 20, 2024. Disney Character Greetings – Not only do guests get to meet some beloved Disney Characters on a Disney Cruise, but the characters are all dressed up in jolly holiday attire to make the experience even more magical. The list includes past sailings to help estimate when DCL may offer future themed cruises before officially announced.

If you cruise on any Disney ship during New Year's eve, expect music, food, fireworks, and a giant midnight deck party. Activities are subject to change depending on each ship and itinerary, but a party hosted by Disney characters dressed in their New Year's best is guaranteed. In the kid and teen clubs, there might be themed parties and crafts -- decorating cards or stockings -- to celebrate the season.

Before you proceed to the check-in area, you’ll need to go through security. Your identification will be checked, as well as your cruise boarding pass. You’ll have any bags with you scanned, and you’ll walk through metal detectors. In the security area, you’ll want to have your phones put away as you are not allowed to take any photos. Our disappointment here comes in comparing the Very Merrytime Cruise to other days at sea we’ve experienced, as well as Disney Christmas entertainment in the parks. It’s nice to see the atriums of the gorgeous Disney Cruise Line ships decorated, but disappointing that these are generic Christmas ornaments, garland, and lights.

Santa’s Winter Wonderland Ball typically occurs later in the evening on holiday cruises. Cruisers will get to experience Mickey and friends introducing their special guests. We’re setting sail on our four-night Very Merrytime cruise on the Disney Dream. Our cruise departs from Fort Lauderdale, and to avoid travel problems the morning of the cruise, we drove from Orlando to Fort Lauderdale the day before. We were very excited to arrive at the new Disney Cruise Line terminal at Port Everglades and get onto the ship.

However, the exact start and end dates might differ by cruise ship and year, so it's always best to check Disney Cruise Line's website out for exact sailings. We recently did a Very Merrytime Christmas sailing aboard Disney Cruise Line and thought it’d be worth sharing photos, info, and our review of the voyage. Our cruise was a 4-night trip from Port Canaveral, Florida (near Walt Disney World) on the Disney Dream, but these holiday cruises are offered fleet-wide in November and December. The 2023 Very Merrytime cruises will have a new Tree Lighting Ceremony for guests to enjoy. Join Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse and Goofy in the ship’s atrium to sing along to classic holiday tunes around the three-deck-tall tree. Disney Cruise Line provides so many magical moments at sea, but one of my family’s favorite things is the fireworks show.

They look nice, but there’s nothing on-theme about them, which is a bit of a letdown if you’ve been to the resorts at Walt Disney World around the holidays. Disney Fantasy will also offer these special themed cruises with lengths varying from four, six and seven nights from Port Canaveral. While we’re talking about holiday cruises, if you prefer the spookier side of crusing…not too spooky, this is Disney after all, Halloween on the High Seas cruises will return in mid-September through October 2024. Very Merrytime cruises will return in 2024 from mid-November through December, with a variety of cruises and ships.
