So we’ve been back from our Disney cruise about 72 hours now and we’re still recovering from our vacation, LOL! We had a phenomenal time and our trip couldn’t have been any more perfect. I know many of my friends have questions about the Disney cruise experience so I decided to do my best to chronicle, daily, our experience and include some tips along the way…. I hope you enjoy these posts!

Rock Climbing: Most Royal Caribbean cruise ships have fully outfitted rock climbing walls on board. Outfitted for children and adults alike, these areas are perfect for a whole family to adventure together, without even leaving the ship! Imagine the incredible views of the sea or mountainous islands that you can achieve from the lofty heights of the rock wall….
A couple Sundays ago we spent a few hours at a local charity called Feeding Children Everywhere. Our friends, who have worked with the charity before, had planned their daughter’s 5th birthday party there. We didn’t quite know what to expect but it seemed like a unique idea for our children to begin fostering a spirit of volunteerism so we were glad to participate.

Have a picnic on the lawn: Imagine sitting on a freshly manicured lawn of deep, plush, green grass, staring up at the clear blue sky with a strong ocean breeze blowing over you. One of the unique features of Celebrity Cruise lines is the Lawn Club, half an acre of real green grass featured on the top decks of the Solstice Class Ships. Here you can find Alcoves which are cabana that offer some privacy for spending the afternoon reading a book, playing chess or taking a light lunch. Cruisers can play croquet or practice their golf swing. Some evenings they may find a live musical concert at the Lawn Club, enjoying music under the setting sun.
Our Sunday was spent visiting the famous Showcase of Citrus with our church’s kids club. Our Adventurer club outings are always quite exciting and my daughters and their friends were looking forward to this for weeks. I had heard about this massive citrus farm and wildlife reserve but this was my first visit!
