Disney Cruise Line: 7-Night Northern Europe Cruise from Dover, England

Mjau, we just found out that our Transatlantic Cruise with Disney Cruise Line was suspended due to the Corona virus. Mjau, so sad! We decided now would be the perfect time to write about our previous cruise and relive happier times.

Mjau, Captain Hook-Si is ready for adventure!

Mjau, our cruise was quite a while ago and we forgot to write a journal. We can not perfectly recall everything in a chronological order. No bother, we prefer to look at the photos more anyway, mjau.

Goodbye, Dover!

In September 2019 we sailed away on Disney Magic from Dover. The first day was a Day at Sea. Probably our favorite since we can just enjoy being in the Disney Bubble. Mjau, our first port of call was in Copenhagen, Denmark. We liked Copenhagen although we were a bit unlucky with the weather. It was raining quite a lot. Mjau, and you also had to take a bus to get to the city. Mjau, the bus was free and arranged by Disney so it was safe to ride. Mjau, we would have preferred to just walk out of the ship and walk around freely.

Mjau, a romantic stroll in Copenhagen!

The weather could have been better in Copenhagen!

In Copenhagen we visited Lego Stores and of course the Disney Store. Since we have been to Copenhagen before, it was more fun to head back to the ship earlier and enjoy our time there. Mjau, it is so nice to stay on the ship while the others are ashore. Mjau the ship is almost empty! As it was September and a bit cold and rainy we did not spend too much time on the deck sunbathing. Mjau, instead we went often to the Cabanas to eat or do arts and crafts at Promenade Lounge. So much fun!

Mjau, such a nice view of Oslo from the ship!

Mjau, on our way to the city centre in Oslo. Such a nice walk!

Disney Legos as souvenirs! We got so excited the photo is a bit blurry. 

Mjau, our next port of call was Oslo, Norway. Mjau, we preferred Oslo over Copenhagen. Mjau, we liked that we could walk to the city from our ship without public transport. Mjau, there were nice shops with delicious pastries. We would have tried more of them but since we knew we could just eat on the ship, we did not feel like buying too many treats. We bought some Disney Legos as a souvenir, we also found several interesting Disney comic books, however most of them were in Norwegian.

Stavanger! Grey skies but a wonderful town.

 The third port of call was Stavanger, Norway. We were much more interested in exploring the smaller destinations in Europe than the big cities. Mjau, it was such a nice little town. We liked the small shops and walking along the narrow streets, looking at the colourful buildings. We would have definitely enjoyed Stavanger more if the weather was better. Mjau, the sun was out but we were also blessed with several showers of rain. We also found some wonderful floaties from Flying Tiger Copenhagen.

We really like the colourful houses and shops. Mjau, we wish all streets looked like this.

Mjau, pink and purple houses!

Colourful shopping street!

We love this wall! Purrfect for Instagram!

Look at this friendly troll!

On our way back to our home: Disney Magic!

Mjau, Siamese Cat Sisters in Bergen!

Mjau, our fourth port of call was Bergen, Norway. Mjau, this was probably our favourite destination. It was really good weather and we had fun walking around the Old Town and visiting the old shops. Mjau, we even took the Fløibanen up to Mount Fløyen. If we had more time it would have been fun to have our butlers hike around the mountain. Mjau, we even went to a café and tried the famous Skolebrød we always see at Kringla Bakeri og Kafe at Epcot. Scrumptious!
Bergen was followed by a Day at Sea. Mjau, our last full day. It is always so sad to leave the ship.

Tyskebryggen in Bergen!

A nice looking church. Praise Jesus!

We love the greenery in Bergen. So many pretty flowers, and us too, mjau!

Such a wonderful view from Mount Fløyen. You can even see Disney Magic!

Skolebrød does not look like much, but is is wonderfully delicious!

Disney Cruise Line has rotational dining. This means you will get to eat dinner at all three restaurants during your cruise. Mjau the restaurants are: Animator's Palate, Rapunzel's Royal Table and Lumiere's. It is difficult to choose our favourite. Mjau, we really like the design of  Rapunzel's Royal Table, although Rapunzel's birthday party can get a bit noisy. Animator's Palate is also nice and fun when you get to see your drawing in the show. Lumiere's is probably the most classy of them all and not as loud. Mjau, we somehow forgot to take pictures of Lumiere's. However we have plenty of pictures from Animator's Palate and Rapunzel's Royal Table for you all to enjoy!

Animator's Palate.

We really like the details. Look at the roof!

Mjau, we like the plate design. The dinner is delicious!

Yummy, delicious dessert!

We think Rapunzel's Royal Table had our favourite interior design. We really like the lanterns and all the details. Mjau, it can be a bit dark, however we enjoy it more as it makes the atmosphere more cozy. We also feel less shy when it is dark than when there is bright artificial lights.

Rapunzel's Royal Table. We love the lanterns, or floating lights as Rapunzel calls them.

We love the attention to detail! What a wonderful menu!

The breadbasket is wonderful. We wish they were for sale!

Delicious angel hair pasta!

Delicious salmon!

Yummy, more delicious food at Rapunzel's!

The most important part of the meal: Dessert!

Mjau, we wonder how long it takes them to slice all the raspberries and blueberries!?

Our butler started to feel a bit fat so she requested some berries for dessert!

We always eat breakfast and lunch at Cabanas. Mjau, we always look forward to when they serve pumpkin pie and banana bread french toast at Cabanas! Cabanas is buffet style so it is really difficult for our butlers to control themselves.

Delicious dessert and fruit salad at Cabanas!

Mjau, more fruit and berries and dessert!

Tasting a little bit of everything at the buffet!

Mjau, the long awaited pumpkin pie!

Mjau, the entertainment on the Disney Cruise Line ships is always top-notch. In the evenings they have Broadway style theatre shows or different variety shows. During this cruise we were able to enjoy Tangled, Twice Charmed, Once Upon a Song and Dreams. We always enjoy the Disney musicals and shows. Mjau, we seldom enjoy the variety shows. During this cruise they had two french juggler brothers, which were acceptable and Junk, which we did not even bother to watch. The name speaks for itself.

Walt Disney Theatre, where you can enjoy musicals and more!

Here they also have several trivia and other events!

Listening to live music and dancing the night away at Promenade Lounge.

Disney Magic even has its own cinema: Buena Vista Theatre. There they play recently released Disney and Pixar movies throughout the day. Mjau, a great money saving tip we have, is if there are several new Disney movies we want to watch, we do not go to the cinema and instead watch them during our Disney Cruise! During this cruise we were able to watch Toy Story 4, The Lion King (2019) and Disneynature's Penguins.
There is always something to do and see on Disney Magic. Mjau, they have arts and crafts and different trivia's every day. They also have live bands if that is something you prefer.

Too cold to sunbathe, mjau!

What we really like about Disney Cruise Line is that they have adult only events and areas. Mjau, this is perfect if you want to enjoy making crafts and parttake in a trivia without noisy children around. As we said earlier, it was a bit too cold out to enjoy the sundeck. However we were able to visit Cove Cafe, an adult only lounge, several times. Mjau, they make such delicious drinks. Our favourite was the Mocca Experience.

The delicious Mocca Experience, you even get chocolates!

Something else we really enjoy with Disney Cruise Line is the interaction with the Disney Characters. Mjau, the characters roam more freely and you do not always have to stay in line to meet them. Mjau, we know the perfect ambush place! This is perfect as we get a little bit too shy to stand in line and greet characters, and then there is also the added risk of our butlers getting forced to be in the picture with us. Mjau, we do not want to ruin perfect photos with their faces! Mjau, we were also really lucky to meet a Bunny travelling with her Human parents from South Korea. Mjau, it is always fun to see other plushies enjoying Disney! It also make us a little less shy!

Captain Hook-Si met Captain Hook!

Hello Goofy!

Mjau, we just met Minnie Mouse!

During the cruise we also spent a lot of time in our lovely cabin. Mjau, this time we did not have a magical porthole. Mjau, at least Mr Potato Head left us alone during our cruise! We usually watch some Disney movies on demand or play our favourite board game: The Hugo Express. Such an exciting game! The have changed the toiletries so you can no longer take home the shampoo bottles. Mjau, it is a bit unfortunate. However we really appreciate the initiative to reduce plastic waste. Mjau, and we have saved our empty Mickey shampoo bottles from the resorts, so we are able to fill them easily with the pumps.

Mjau, welcome to our humble abode!

Aunties investigating the new toiletries!

As always our Disney Cruise was positively amazing. Mjau, we always recommend Disney cruises over any other cruise. We absolutely love being in the Disney Bubble while on the cruise. The food is always scrumptious and the entertainment is amazing. We love that they play Disney music in the hallways and we usually make our butlers walk up and down the stairs so we get to enjoy the magical music!

Mjau, hopefully we will be able to enjoy a Disney Cruise again soon!

Hopefully we will get to be with Disney soon!
