If you love Christmas and love Disney Cruise Line then a Very Merrytime Cruise could be for you. I sailed on the Disney Wonder out of Galveston on a Western Caribbean cruise back in December 2017 and had an incredible week onboard. For me Disney and Christmas just go together perfectly and create a magical experience – it was a perfect mix of everything I love about a regular Disney Cruise with an extra dusting of Christmas magic.

The very first time we cruised onboard the Disney Wonder to Alaska back in 2013, I wrote a blog post and uploaded a video on YouTube about stateroom 7624 which is a category 7A Navigator’s Verandah located aft on Deck 7. (more…)
It was 5:45am on disembarkation day when we were woken up early by the thrusters of the Disney Wonder as we docked back into the Port of Galveston on a freezing cold December morning. Who would have thought that exactly one week after we left Galveston on a hot and sunny day with blue skies that we would arrive back to freezing cold temperatures and snow across Texas, Mississippi, Louisiana and Georgia? But that is exactly what happened. (more…)
On our last full day on our Very Merrytime Cruise on the Disney Wonder, I woke up just after 8:00am which was late compared to most other days onboard. The first thing that was immediately obvious was that the ship was rolling from side to side so we knew that we had encountered the bad weather that had been forecast the day before. (more…)
After three port days, it was a great feeling when I woke up just after 8:00am that we now had two sea days on our Very Merrytime Cruise on the Disney Wonder to enjoy before arriving back into Galveston. When I walked up to Deck 9 to get tea, the outside decks were still very empty at this time so I guessed everyone was having a lazy morning and a lay-in after a late evening the night before when the Pirates IN the Caribbean fireworks had taken place.

After a brilliant albeit tiring day the day before in Grand Cayman on our Very Merrytime Cruise on the Disney Wonder, we were both looking forward to a more relaxed day. We were woken up just after 7:00am by the thrusters of the ship as we started to dock in Falmouth. I tried to fall back asleep but could not which was annoying as it was going to be a long day as the Pirates IN the Caribbean fireworks were due to start at 10:00pm that night. (more…)
After our lazy day of not doing anything in Cozumel the day before, I woke up at 8:00am (after originally waking up at 6:00am) on our Very Merrytime Cruise on the Disney Wonder excited and raring to go as I was actually really looking forward to visiting the Cayman Islands – somewhere I had never visited before. It was noticeable that there was quite a lot of movement on the ship and the sea seemed quite rough outside and I was hoping that this would not affect our day as Grand Cayman is a tender port.

When I woke up on the third day of our Very Merrytime Cruise on the Disney Wonder just after 7:00am, I could hardly feel any movement of the ship at all so I knew we were getting close to Cozumel. From the verandah, I watched as the pilot boat approached just before 7:30am and as it was a clear day, I could see over to the Mexican mainland in the distance. (more…)
After a good night’s sleep, I woke up just before 7:00am and it was a wonderful feeling for the first time in a busy week to know that we did not have to do anything on this day if we did not want to. It was a beautiful morning and walking out onto the verandah and hearing the waves whilst getting that morning hit of fresh sea air felt amazing. (more…)
Five years ago, I had never even been on a cruise ship in my life so waking up on this day knowing that I was going to board my fourth Disney Cruise that morning was an amazing feeling. We were going to be sailing on a Very Merrytime Cruise aboard the beautiful Disney Wonder from Galveston in Texas to the Western Caribbean ports of Cozumel, Grand Cayman and Falmouth as well as having three days at sea.
