I took my first Disney cruise without kids and loved it. There are 3 things I'd do differently next time.

The author took her first cruise trip on the Disney Wish.

Courtesy of the author My friend and I have 7 kids between us, including 3 sets of twins.

We took a Disney cruise alone.

I loved the adults-only spaces, trivia games, spa treatments, and relaxing on Disney's private island.

I'm already planning another Disney cruise with my kids, though I might prefer going without them.

"You've never been on a cruise?" my friend basically yelled at me while we were planning an adults-only trip away from our kids.

She insisted that cruising with her grandparents as an adult was one of the best trips she's ever taken.

So, despite being a little terrified of being aboard essentially a floating skyscraper with thousands of people, I agreed to a Disney cruise for just the two of us.

Honestly, it was so much fun that I'm already planning another Disney cruise with my kids — though I'm not sure I want to give up the adults-only version .

It was such an easy getaway My family is known for taking really elaborate vacations.

One time we stayed on a remote island near Sicily, which is an active volcano.

It took us three flights and a long ferry ride to get there, but it was totally worth it to see the lava at night.

This trip was different.

We took a flight from Boston to Orlando, boarded the Disney Wish , and after that, we didn't have to think about anything.
