Disney Cruises appears to be trying to attract an "older crowd", meaning older than 6 maybe, not sure of the definition. So we thought we'd try it. We have about 10 cruises under our collective adult belts.
Let's start with the plusses.
Food - Remarkably good relative to other cruises. In fact, we felt the food was better than the food on any cruise we have taken after 1990 (before that, ...
Here's the thing. My wife and I had a very good time on the Disney Wonder but my wife's grandson had a better time. After our trip we can truly say Disney cruises are geared for families more than for seniors like us. Not that we had a bad time, we just felt there could have been more for the senior crowd to do.
The entertainment was very good and the food was great also. We did enjoy the ...
Background: We are seasoned Cruisers with high expectations given the premium price of a Disney cruise.

We had arrived in Honolulu 2 days before the cruise departure to relax and see a few sights before the cruise. We rented a car to be able to see the sights at our own pace.
We checked out of our hotel and took the rental car back to the airport. We were able to ...
I have recently become a gold member of DCL. My first cruise was Jan 2013. I have been on all of the ships except the Dream. I love everything about this cruise line. Are there small details here and there that I could fill this page with....sure. When I did the Wonder on a 9 day Alaska I had a small issue with a toilet and funky smell. This was not only dealt with ASAP and got a bottle of wine ...
We've recently returned from one of the most amazing trips our family has ever experienced. A family of 5 with kids 16, 10 and 9 who have cruised before and LOVE all things Disney, we included my husband's parents on this trip, both in their early 70s, and a good time was had by all. Everyone we know who has ever done Alaska recommended this cruise, and Disney did NOT disappoint.
We were ...
Our family took their first cruise last week on Disney Wonder from Vancouver to Alaska. We had no idea what to expect but were totally blown away by the beauty of the ship, the level of friendly attentive service everywhere on board, the variety of dining and the out-of-this-world entertainment.
You are treated like gold the entire time and everywhere you go on the ship. We loved how the ...
This was our 4th DCL cruise but first to Alaska. We spent a few days in Vancouver pre cruise which I highly recommend. It is a beautiful city! Embarkation was fairly painless and well organized once you figured out where to go.
We had an incredible service team in the dining room. Food was good to great and we also liked the food on deck and room service also. The Parrot Cay menu was our least ...
Great cruise overall. This was our 3rd cruise on Disney, 2nd on Wonder.
- ship hasn't change much in past few years - no changes at all for cooler Alaska weather
- we had great weather - never rained in port and only rained on last day of cruise/at sea
- when you get aboard you can go right to Port Adventures and sign up for princess character meet, frozen character meet, character ...
The service and activities for kids were great. My 3 year old grand daughter enjoyed the character breakfast, meeting all the characters, and attending the Oceaneer Club. She did not want to go home. My 16 year old nephew loved the Vibes. There was fun for every age.
The money maker was in their photo packages.
Dining room food was okay. Meat was dry, pasta too thick, there were 3 ...
Imagine you're sailing on a cruise to Alaska. It's raining outside. There's no casino and it's cold on the upper deck. You've got a cranky wife and an unappreciative kid. There's hundreds of sugared-up kids excited because Mickey or Goofy is about to appear. You venture outside of your cabin only to be bombarded by "It's a Small World" or "Just a Spoon Full of Sugar."
As we sailed toward ...
