"The Birthday Cruise" is the sixty-seventh episode of the Disney Channel animated series Elena of Avalor. It premiered on January 10, 2020, and is the eighteenth episode in the third season.

Plot[]

At Avalor Palace, Elena is reading a letter from Naomi when Armando comes in and announces that Julio has accepted Elena's offer to replace Naomi on the Grand Council. He also informs Elena that Princess Chloe of Norburg is visiting. Elena greets Chloe at the gate. Chloe informs Elena her birthday is coming and wants Elena to plan it in Avalor. Elena asks her about her other friends. Chloe informs Elena she's her only friend. Elena tells her friendship is about giving not taking and agrees to plan her party. 

On the day of Chloe's birthday, Elena takes her to the harbor. Elena informs Chloe they are going on an all-day cruise with Mateo, Princess Valentina, and Princess Rebecca, much to Chloe's chagrin due to her being prone to seasickness. Chloe asks Princess Rebecca and Princess Val what they do for fun in their kingdoms, but she doesn't like their answers. Suddenly, the ship enters the territory of a sea nymph named Maliga, who was banished by her people to the Foglands forever for being cruel and selfish.

Maliga intends to keep them there forever. When Elena and her friends are about to leave, Maliga sobs, saying that all she wanted was a friend. Hearing this, Chloe sympathizes with Maliga and swims to her, offering to stay in exchange for Maliga letting her friends go. Maliga is touched by Chloe's kindness and lets Chloe goes as well. This breaks the curse and the other sea nymphs let Maliga return home. After Maliga returns, Chloe confesses everything to Rebecca, Valentina, Mateo, and Elena: She is afraid of heights, she gets seasick easily, and she doesn't like magic. She even says that she understands if that means they can't be friends. However, they are not mad at Chloe at all - instead, they are impressed that Chloe has been so brave to do such a thing for them. Elena suggests that they get Chloe's birthday party restarted, saying they will do what Chloe likes. Elena and her friends return home as they do the Norberg jig, Chloe's favorite dance.

Trivia[]

  • Julio takes Naomi's place on the Grand Council.
  • Princess Rebecca makes her second appearance in a row. 
  • Maliga's voice actress, Sofia Carson, previously worked on Descendants, Descendants 2, Descendants 3, and Descendants: Wicked World as the daughter of the Evil Queen, Evie.
  • Moral: Be polite and considerate of other people if you want to be friends with them. On the other side of the spectrum, trying to please people even if you don't feel comfortable with their likings will just make you feel unhappy — friends respect each other's boundaries, just remember to set yours.
