Hi! Agent Rhiannon here! Cruising is our family’s favorite vacation, as there is so much to do! This cruise vacation on the Disney Treasure was a little different, as we had our 5-year-old and 1-year-old with us. Here's the recap of our 7-night sailing including activities, dining and port stops:
Arrival Day
We arrived at Port Canaveral around 11:45 for our 12:15 port arrival time. I love cruising out of Port Canaveral—it’s so easy to get around. After boarding the ship, we immediately went to eat lunch. After our first cruise, we learned that one sit down restaurant is open for lunch, so we always eat there on embarkation day. This time, we ate at Plaza de Coco. I ordered the seafood gumbo as an appetizer and a chicken salad. Coming from Louisiana, I’m always skeptical about ordering seafood gumbo—but I have to say, this gumbo was amazing! It did have a spicy kick to it, but overall, it was so delicious!
After lunch, we took a quick tour of the ship to see where everything was located. By this time, our stateroom was ready. We had ordered each boy a little surprise beforehand on the Disney Cruise app that was waiting inside our room when we arrived. Our 5-year-old was so excited when he saw his surprise.
After getting everything inside the room and settled in, we toured the ship a little more before heading to the Sail Away Party. This is one of my favorite parties that DCL does!

Then, we did the Open Mouse tour for the Oceaneer Club and the Nursery. The Oceaneer Club was very cool—it had several themes from Fairytale Hall to an Imagineering Lab (where you can design a ride and then ride it), plus a Star Wars section and a Marvel Super Hero Academy.
That night, we ate in 1923. I had the potato soup and salmon. Both were so delicious! My husband and I can never decide on which dessert to get, so we always order every dessert and spread the love between everyone! That night, we saw Fly Boys—a musical group that sings and performs classical and Disney songs in vintage style.
Day 2
We started our morning with breakfast at the buffet, Marceline Market. Shortly after, I left the boys and went to the Untangled Salon to get a pedicure. It was so relaxing and much needed—one of the two treatments I always make sure to get on every cruise.
When I finished, I stopped at Hei Hei Café and ordered a Chai Latte, which was good. I met up with the rest of the family, and we headed to the Hero Zone to battle each other in the Incredi-Games Obstacle Course. There is a height requirement to participate, so I waited on the deck above with our 1-year-old while my husband and son raced through. It didn’t take long for me to realize that adults will definitely struggle to complete this course—but it’s still very fun! After they raced, my husband and I switched so I could go through it with my son. (You do need socks to participate, so make sure to bring some with you!)

For lunch, we went to Deck 11 to eat at Mickey and Friends Festival of Foods. You can choose from a variety of options like Donald’s Cantina (Mexican), Daisy’s Pizza Pies, Mickey’s Smokestack Barbecue, Goofy’s Grill, and Minnie’s Delights (where you can find soft-serve ice cream).
I love the experience in there—Scott Lang and Hope Van Dyne join you on the screens to help shrink different objects using the Quantum Core on your table. It takes you through a whole adventure while you dine. I had the Kartoffelsuppe as an appetizer, and it was so good I had to order seconds! For my main course, I had the Grilled Sirloin Steak. That night’s show was Disney Seas the Adventure—a very cute performance about following your dreams.
Day 3
We did breakfast at the buffet again, then dropped off our 5-year-old at the Oceaneer Club and our 1-year-old at the Nursery. You do have to fill out a form for the Nursery, so I recommend arriving a few minutes early. You can bring in factory-sealed snacks from home. They do offer snacks there, but it's not much.
My husband and I had brunch at Palo. I highly suggest eating there if you can get a spot. It does cost extra, but it's so good!
Before picking up the boys, we rode the AquaMouse. It was cool, but seemed shorter than the AquaDuck on the other ships, and didn’t have as much to it.
Later, I picked up our toddler a little early and we played in the Toy Story Splash Zone. Even though he wasn't a fan, it’s the perfect place for little ones to run around and go down their very own slide. We grabbed lunch while watching Hercules on Funnel Vision (the poolside movie screen).
Dinner that night was back at Plaza de Coco. The theming and entertainment were neat, but the food was our least favorite. I ordered Enrique’s Port Wine Braised Center-Cut Beef Short Rib, which was delicious! That night’s entertainment was a ventriloquist act by Lynn Trefzger—another great show!

Day 4
Our first stop was in the British Virgin Islands at Tortola. We booked an excursion with a boat and land tour of the island. The water was very rough, which made the boat portion less enjoyable, but the crew did their best to make it fun. We learned a lot of interesting facts about the island.
After the boat ride, we had about 30 minutes to shop before our land tour, which mostly consisted of sightseeing by vehicle. We boarded the ship around 1:30 and had lunch.
That night was Pirate Night—my favorite! I love the crab cakes and usually order 3–5 just for myself because they’re that good. That night’s show included dancing, a quick pirate story, and fireworks. It’s a late-night event, but we always make time for it!

Day 5
Our next stop was St. Thomas. We visited Coral World for an excursion. We were able to join a “private” tour that was free and open to anyone. We learned about the dolphins and even got to pet a turtle! While the park didn’t have a ton to see, our 5-year-old loved the animals, birds, and sea life.
That night was our second night at Marvel. This time it was a Celebration of Heroes, complete with Marvel trivia using the Quantum Core. I highly recommend watching all the Marvel movies and shows beforehand!
Our nighttime show was magician Jessica Jane. If you ever get the chance to see her—DO IT! She is incredible!
Day 6
This day, we changed up our breakfast and ate in one of the restaurants since we weren’t in a rush. Afterward, my husband took the Imagineering the Disney Ships tour while I brought our toddler back to the Nursery. That gave me some quality one-on-one time with our older son, and we spent it at the pool with ice cream and Disney movies.
At 2:00, we went to see the Beauty and the Beast Broadway show. For popular shows like this, Disney offers an extra 2:00 p.m. showing—but it fills up fast, so show up early. It’s a show you don’t want to miss!
Before dinner, I went to the Skipper Society to learn how to draw Hei Hei. It was fun and a bit different than the experience at Disney World. Seating is limited, so get there early!
That night was our second meal at Coco for semi-formal night. After dinner, since we had already seen the show, I went to the fitness center to walk on the treadmill. The gym has a lot to offer if you want to stay active on vacation.
Day 7
Castaway Cay day! We always start our island day with the 5K. It’s a fun way to get some exercise—and the finisher’s medal is exciting to receive! We had lunch at Cookie’s BBQ and spent the rest of our time on the beach.
Our toddler wasn’t a fan of the water but loved the sand. We always bring sand toys now, and we had fun making castles and sand animals. Later, we spent a little time in the water before heading back to the ship just in time to see the 3:00 p.m. show of A Tale of Moana. This was the earlier performance, and it wasn’t crowded since most guests were still on the island. The nighttime showings were much fuller. This Broadway-style show is another one I highly recommend!
Our final dinner was at 1923. We let our oldest spend the rest of the evening at the Oceaneer Club while my husband and I explored the Haunted Mansion Parlor. It's a must-visit—but seating is very limited.
Day 8
The saddest day—departure! We had breakfast back at 1923 and said goodbye to our amazing servers, who had truly become like family. Then we grabbed our bags and disembarked.
Every night before dinner, we picked one photo spot to take pictures, then tried to get more afterward before the shows. We bought the photo package, and I highly suggest doing that—it was worth it, and we got so many beautiful memories captured!
Throughout the cruise, we spent extra time meeting characters—some you'd see in the parks and some rare ones like Black Panther, Ant-Man, and The Wasp. Each meet-and-greet was so special and a lot of fun!
This Disney Treasure cruise was truly unforgettable—from pampering spa time to magical Broadway shows, character encounters, exciting excursions, and special moments for each member of the family. Whether you're planning your very first Disney cruise or your fifth, this ship has something for everyone.
