The morning of disembarkation is usually very sad. Everyone plans their flights so they can leave the ship and head directly to the airport, giving themselves an hour or so of cushion to make their flights. We planned our flights so we had as much time in San Juan today as possible. We got up at 7 am to finish packing the stateroom and then we took our bags with us to Tiana’s for breakfast.
Today was the only sea day that we had on this seven night cruise. We had managed to get a coveted Palo brunch reservation, but that was the end of the planning we had done for the day. We woke up at a respectable 9 am. Since our brunch wasn’t until noon, we decided to head up to the pool deck to relax in the warm weather.
The family pool area was very crowded, so we eventually ended up on Deck 10 to to get a good spot to watch Funnel Vision. We had a fairly decent spot and spent the next few hours enjoying the warm weather.
Here are the opening day prices for the Spring 2022 Disney Cruise Line Cruises for a family of two adults and two children. The prices listed are for the cheapest option for each of the different types of staterooms. Higher level categories in each of the four basic room types will cost more.

Today was one of our most anticipated stops for multiple reasons. When we originally discussed taking this cruise, I asked the girls what they most wanted to do on the trip. Our younger daughter said she wanted to try riding Segways. St. Lucia was the only stop that Disney offered a Segway adventure, so we signed up for this excursion right after we got our sea day Palo Brunch. We were also excited to visit St. Lucia because our daughter’s preschool teacher was from St. Lucia and would always tell us how beautiful the island was. Her descriptions left us with the desire to visit.
Today we would be stopping at Barbados, which was another new port of call for us. We pre-ordered room service to speed up breakfast so that we could get down to the theater for our excursion for the day. We had selected the Barbados Beach Break, which should have given us four hours (or so) at a nice beach. We arrived at 8:50 am for our 9:00 am excursion, and it was at this moment I should have known today wasn’t going to go well.
Today was our first stop at the French Island of Martinique. We had been warned prior to the cruise that Martinique wasn’t allowing cruise passengers to enter unless they had passports. Since we always cruise with our passports this wasn’t a problem for us. Turns out, we never needed our passports.

Today was our first trip to the island of Antigua! We were pretty excited because we love stopping at new places. Nancy and I got up early and went to Cabanas for a quick bite and some coffee, then headed back to the room and woke the girls up. After they got ready, we all went back to Cabanas so the girls could eat.
We slept in till 9:30 am on St. Maarten day since we didn’t have a specific time we needed to leave the ship. We decided on this cruise to get in a number of relaxing beach days and this would be the first one. We decided to return to one of the easiest beach stops there is, the Holland House. This was recommended to us by the DCL Dude and this would be our second return.
