Day 2
Embarkment
Welcome to our first Disney Cruise on the Wish! It's not just any cruise... It's Halloween on the High Seas.
We are staying in a Deluxe Family Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah (8594) We had a check in time of 12:45pm, we got there a little early with us parking at the port and not knowing how that was going to go. It went quickly and easily. Shortly after finding a spot to hang out until our time was called, they started calling the first boarding group. Next thing they called our group, and it was not even 12:45 yet! We ended up on the boat before our time slot as the embarkment was fast and easy. At the time of embarkment they activated our magic bands+. After getting on the ship, we went and had lunch at Arendelle. When we got done with lunch the room was ready for us to drop off our carry-on items (water, backpacks, etc....) Then we had a little time to get settled in before we had to go to the safety drill. When that was done, we headed right up to Deck 11 to get ready for the sail away party!! Soon after the sail away party we headed to Arendelle for supper. As for your dining schedule you find out where you will be dining once you get on the ship and log in to your navigator app. Our dining schedule was Arendelle, 1923, 1923 and Worlds of Marvel. The show that we got to enjoy at supper was great! We also got to meet our service team that was with us for the whole time we were there. The service team was so friendly, helpful and prompt. They get to know you and what you like and don’t like. They truly take care of you! After supper we went down to deck 3 and got to meet the Sanderson sisters and light the pumpkin tree. That closed out day one.
Day 2 on the Wish
Day at Sea
​Started off the morning at 1923 then headed off to get coffee. Got the kids ready to go swimming. Spent most of the day at the pools on the ship. Had to check out the Aqua Mouse. The boys loved going on the Aqua Mouse. This was the only day that they got to ride it because they had it closed the other days due to weather. In the evening we got to meet some of the characters all dressed up in our Halloween costumes. Finished out the night with trick or treating and Halloween dance parts. It was a long day and every one was wiped out. Day 3 Castaway Cay cant wait to show you all the fun we had on the island. Please follow along to see next videos of the trip.
Day 3 on the Wish
Castaway Cay
We are at Castaway Cay. We started out the morning getting breakfast at Marceline market. Then we went back to the room to get ready for a day on the island. This would be the kids’ first time swimming in the ocean. Castaway Cay has a lot for the kids to do. On Castaway Cay life jackets were provided, which were located in many spots around the island. We got to enjoy lunch on the island, there was plenty of options for the kids to find something that they liked. After lunch we headed back to the boat to get cleaned up and relax before supper. It was also pirate’s night so after supper we had to get out to the deck stage for the Mickey and Minnie Pirates party. After the pirates party a few of the kids were tuckered out and went to bed. We still had the Pirate’s Rockin’ Parlay Party with fireworks to close out night 3. We got a visit from Captain Jack Sparrow and a great fireworks show.
The boys wanted to record their point of view around the boat. We let them each walk around with a GoPro.
We booked this trip though:
