I'm so excited! I went ahead and booked a Marvel Day at Sea cruise on the Dream next month! While I've done the Dream before, this will be my first time experiencing a Marvel cruise. If anyone has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate them
 
I haven't done a Marvel cruise, but my family did do the first Pixar Day at Sea in January 2023. My recommendation is to pay close attention to the online Navigator starting when you arrive at the port, to make sure you're aware of all special events such as character meetings and shows. Enjoy!
 
Love Marvel Day at Sea cruises!!! Been on 2 of them. Don't miss the USO show that they do in one of the adult lounges. It's a throwback to the USO shows they used to do for the troops back in 40's....Captain America makes an appearance. We loved it!! Very patriotic.

Make sure you listen to all the announcements played during the Marvel Day. They are so funny.....something like "Thor, please report to the loading dock to claim your hammer...we can't lift it". Just all Marvel related blurbs played. Hysterical.

I’m on the Jan 27th cruise so can come and report back afterwards!

Thank you! I really appreciate it

Thank you! I definitely plan on highlighting everything from the Navigator (and I hope DCL brings back Pixar Day at Sea, because I know I would love that one)

Don’t miss the show on the pool deck!!

Thank you! I will definitely make sure to go

We think that the deck show is amazing, do not miss it.

Both the USO show and the Doctor Strange show are well worth your time.

Take a look at the cruise options, ahead of time. There will be opportunities for meet and greets that you need to schedule. They might include heroes of New York including Spider-Man and Iron Man. In the past, there’s also been a meet and greet opportunity with Groot and either Star Lord or Gamora.

In addition to the meet and greets in the daily navigator, they’re also tend to be quite a few walk rounds. We often found Hawkeye up on the fifth floor – he said he can see better from up there!

We have done three MDAS cruises, each of them has included a talk with a Marvel artist, either a comic artist or someone who has work in the movies.

They will obviously show lots of Marvel movies during your cruise. There were two times where going to the movies was extra special. We went to see Thor Ragnarok, not long after it. It opened. The preview for that was Black Panther. While the trailer was playing we noticed that Black Panther had come into the theater and was watching the preview. As people began to notice he was there. Everybody began to clap and cheer. It’s the only time I ever saw people clapping for a preview. The second special movie was when we saw the premier for Captain Marvel. I really enjoyed that movie, but it was the one that started with the tribute to Stan Lee. Lots of people clapping and cheering at that one too.

I really hope you enjoy the MDAS cruises, they have been some of our favorites.
 
The other big thing I would recommend would be, if you're going to the ticketed Meet & Greets, split them up during the cruise, if available. We tackled all 3 meet and greets on our cruise and were exhausted by the end of the MD@S. Having those on other days would have helped free up MD@S a lot!

I booked mine last week and I have two not on the MDAS day and one on MDAS.

My app was super glitchy when booking and I had to turn my wifi off on my phone to book m&g 2 and 3.

All three m&g lasted 45+ minutes with availability.

Thank you so much for the information! I really appreciate it. I'm hoping I can get all of the characters

It's possible to book them all? I had been under the assumption that people could only book 1 of the 3

Things could be different now. But in the past, you could book anything that was a standalone meet and greet in a specific area. For instance, in the lounge or in animators. The other meet and greets were just lineup when it was time. Those were usually in the atrium area or in front of the Walt Disney theater.
 
For those experienced here and perhaps tweens, I saw the MDAS cruises offer kids activities for ages 4-12 in the kids club. Since the clubs are for up to 10 year olds, do they make exceptions for this cruise or activity to allow 11 and 12 year olds to join in? I have an 11 year old son for reference. Thanks.

I booked all three for my January MDAS so it hasn’t changed.
