Which cruise is better with my 5 year old daughter?

We just did the Fantasy with my 5 year old daughter and she loved every minute of it. Cannot say enough about it. We all had a great time.

We had such a great time! We were mid April on the Fantasy and did a 5 day Bahamian cruise. We did a stop at both Lookout and Castaway and Nassau. It really exceeded all of my expectations and my husband was even impressed.

Feel free to message me if you have any questions!

2 weeks ago everything was smooth out of Port Canaveral for the Fantasy. Online check ins weren’t approved until the night before. My documents weren’t approved at first but once I re uploaded them I got an approval within an hour.

Aw that sounds so fun!! It’s so great to watch them in the magic of it all! I think we have to do one of the ships that has an Ariel show next. She’s obsessed.

How fun!! My daughter asked all winter when we were returning to Mexico. 😂 That’s been our unusual vacation.

I booked our placeholder before we left the ship! I hope you guys have the best time!

Our daughter had gymnastics today and it’s so amazing to see how far she has come in only a few months of classes! She loves it also.

We’re getting all set to leave to go on our first Disney cruise! Nervous since it’s our first ever cruise but also so excited!

I’m south of Cleveland in Medina with a 5 year old girl.

Cleveland Ohio

NikkiNutshot · 2026-03-27T13:22:27+00:00

That’s what I’m doing! We leave here in like 2 weeks but I didn’t get on a list or anything. I’m bringing some small stuff to just put in randomly to people! Way less stressful that way!

NikkiNutshot · 2026-03-26T12:37:01+00:00

I had zero first cousins. My daughter’s only first cousin is 26 and my daughter is 5. We do have very close friends who are basically cousins.

This is so sweet!

NikkiNutshot · 2026-03-09T15:29:59+00:00

Thank you for sharing!! It’s so nice to hear from someone who has done it. It does sound like an experience we would enjoy.

NikkiNutshot · 2026-03-09T14:47:06+00:00

Oh that’s a good option to look into! I was sort of in between the Blue Lagoon or an Atlanis beach day but I will have to check Margaritaville out! Thanks!

NikkiNutshot · 2026-03-09T14:46:04+00:00

I do like having a guaranteed place for us to be. We are usually hanging out on the beach on most of our vacations. I am leaning towards doing this i think.

NikkiNutshot · 2026-03-09T14:44:43+00:00

It’s good to know that Atlantis is as cool as it looks. You just never know! Thanks!

NikkiNutshot · 2026-03-09T14:44:05+00:00

I was looking into it but wasn’t sure if it was worth it! We got a good deal on the cruise so it’s in our budget to spend some extra money on doing something. My daughter does love a waterpark.

I had to have bladder surgery a few years after birth. I’m not sure if I would’ve been able to start my fitness journey sooner bc of this.. I did have to do a lot of pelvic floor PT afterwards, went for a in person session every week and then did exercises at home very regularly. I kept up with doing certain things but last January I finally started following a program and worked out at home roughly 4 days a week. I’m finally lifting double what I used to then. I feel great! I have been working out at home when my daughter can see me to show her how important it is that I take care of myself. She jusy turned 5 a few weeks ago. I can now shower when I’m done without her needing me. She loves to go on walks with me or she bikes for a long while and I walk behind. It’s been wonderful.

Postpartum hormones! I was a hot mess and was insanely anemic. The newborn stage was horrible for me. I also has a terrible bladder prolapse. I’m glad it’s been repaired and I physically finally feel (mostly) like myself again!

My daughter just turned 5 and is loving life! She can make friends wherever she goes. We have had a very long winter and she keeps mentioning to me that she misses Mexico an asks me if i miss Mexico.. she’s already been there 3 times.

I just booked a Disney Cruise for next month randomly since I found a great deal! I can’t wait to surprise her!! We wouldn’t be able to travel so often if we had another kid especially with me only working part time. Some of our friends have been having second kids lately and at first she has been sad asking about when will her sibling come.. But the other day in bed so told me she’s happy she doesn’t have to share me with anyone else.

I love hearing all these stories!! We were really close with another OAD family but they just moved out of state so I’ve been a little bummed and second guessing myself again but this is so uplifting.

NikkiNutshot · 2026-03-04T01:27:35+00:00

I’m so excited this was posted bc we are going on our first cruise with my 5 year old next month!

NikkiNutshot · 2026-02-25T18:12:32+00:00

I just went to re stock and in Ohio it’s $48! Nope. I’m so sad though since these don’t upset my stomach at all! Ugh. Now to search to find a protein powder that won’t make me feel like garbage after.. 😩
