The Perks of Sailing Concierge Level on Disney Cruise Line

I have sailed on all five Disney ships and have been very fortunate to have sailed in a Concierge level one-bedroom suite each time. In fact, after sailing Concierge the first time on the Disney Dream, I realized that there was no way I would want to be in a standard stateroom, especially with a rambunctious six-year-old in tow. It’s like flying first class: if you do it once, you never want to go back to coach!

Cozumel: Disney Cruise Line’s Dolphin Discovery Excursion

Cozumel, Mexico, was one of the ports of call during our 5-night Western Caribbean Very Merrytime Cruise on the Disney Magic in December 2017. I was very excited that we would be traveling to Mexico on this cruise. I had visited Cozumel previously when I was a teenager, cruising with my family on-board a Holland America ship (this was way before Disney Cruise Line even existed!). During that visit, we tendered to Playa del Carmen and did a fantastic excursion to the Tulum Mayan ruins and Xel-Ha, a beautiful brackish water lagoon where we snorkeled. At the end of the excursion, we boarded the ship in Cozumel, where it had docked after dropping us off (and this was at night: it was quite a long day).

Cabana Life at Castaway Cay

As part of our 5-night Western Caribbean Very Merrytime Cruise on the Disney Magic in December 2017, our ship stopped off at Disney’s very own private island in the Bahamas: Castaway Cay. Of all cruise lines’ private islands in the Caribbean, Castaway Cay is unparalleled in the breadth of its beauty and the wide range of activities and amenities offered.

Disney Magic: Review of Cruise Ship Stateroom 8086 (Concierge One-Bedroom Suite)

I stayed in this stateroom on when my family sailed on the Disney Magic cruise ship during a Very Merrytime Cruise, December 24, 2017, through December 29, 2017. Room 8086 is a Category T One-Bedroom Suite with Verandah. It is towards the back of the ship (aft). In choosing this cabin for our cruise, I wanted a quiet location and plenty of space with the concierge level of service.
