The worst day ever – I had to get off the ship. Someone did say that all good things must end, so too does this cruise. The weather was gloomy, cold and damp which made the mood somber as well.

The final sea day on the Disney Magic. After some more training I got to enjoy the good weather outside and some good food.

Land Ho! The ship arrived in Mexico and I stayed onboard to enjoy the ship and relax. I met the Amazing Spiderman, Iron Man, Groot and Quill while onboard and then enjoyed the theatrical show and character dinner.

An action-packed day (and night) at sea featuring Marvel characters. Captain America, Iron Man and the Guardians of the Galaxy. Add in some nice weather, time to relax in the hot tub and it was a perfect day.

Embarking on the Disney Magic in rainy Galveston turned into an unforgettable first day at sea. From smooth check‑in and character sightings to exploring kids’ clubs, dining at Animator’s Palate, and enjoying the sailaway party, this embarkation day delivered classic Disney Cruise Line charm despite the weather.

Set sail with me on January 21st, 2026, for my maiden voyage on Disney Cruise Line from Galveston! With two sea days and plenty of fun excursions at Progreso, Mexico, I’ll likely pass on the two-hour bus ride to Chichen Itza. Why not soak in the ship instead?
