We are Gold status cruisers with Disney and have been on all 4 ships. The pre-cruise vaccination and online registration requirements were simple. Upon port arrival, we were assisted with a pre-boarding Covid test. Then we were directed to wait in our vehicle in the parking garage until test results were available, which was about 45 minutes. We had to monitor our email for the results to be sent ...
It was our first Disney Cruise experience. Overall great and we enjoyed our the stateroom and room services a lot. The room is bigger than other cruise lines and is well designed. The only concern was the dining experience and food quality. We sailed with Royal Caribbean before and I would say the food quality and service were definitely not better than (or worse) Royal Caribbean even if the price ...
I have cruised with Carnival, Royal Caribbean, and Norwegian in the past and always had great cruising experiences. I was deterred by DCL’s hefty price tag, but I was convinced to give it a go when my family wanted to go as a joint birthday/Christmas celebration. Overall we all had a great time, and have already put down a deposit for our next cruise!
Embarkation was easy, and the staff was ...
The overall cruise was wonderful but certainly way too expensive. It cost us 20K for 9 people and the overall experience was not worth that much money. We took a Disney Cruise 5 years ago so had previous experience with the ship, the entertainment and the character interactions. I understand the changes for Covid but I do think they went overboard with their precautions and it really impacted ...
My apologies in advance for this long review. But I have a lot to say.
I’m going to start by saying I completely understand that things are different now with COVID. I will also say, I think some companies, including Disney cruises, are abusing the circumstances to their benefit.
Pros: The ship is extremely well maintained! I gave the 4 stars review based mainly on how well kept the entire ...
The staff alone would be enough reason to recommend this cruise. They were wonderful. I didn't encounter one staff member that wasn't excellent. This was a halloween cruise and the ship was at 30% capacity. At times we felt like there was nobody else on the cruise. The hallways always seemed kind of empty. Which can be good and bad. If you've never cruised before you might be missing out on the ...
Embarkation went very smoothly. The line was constantly moving, and a cast member gave out forms to fill out in line to cut down on waiting time (have a working pen with you). Security screening was quick (get rid of liquids, port authority won’t let you in otherwise) and I was walking on board around noon. Disney goes out of their way to welcome you by announcing you onboard into the atrium. ...
This is the 8th Disney cruise that the family has gone on. We’ve done 7 consecutive years around President’s Day weekend, and one Alaskan cruise. It’s difficult for me to assess whether or not the number of times we’ve gone has simply taken away from the overall experience, or if service has deteriorated a bit.
First off, the ship is always in very good shape. It’s spotless. It’s ...
I love Disney. Having said that, this was only my third Disney cruise and it had been at least five years since my last one. Disney cruises are expensive but they are absolutely worth it. The level of service is unbeatable. Disney goes way and beyond to make their customers happy. We got a cabin with a balcony since it was only $150 more than an inside cabin. So for us, it was definitely worth ...
Reasons why I loved this cruise:
- amazing entertainment!
- exceptional service! You cannot beat the Disney service- they always go out of their way to make your cruise magical.
- beautiful ship
- Castaway Cay is a stunning island...gorgeous adults only beach with a great BBQ lunch.
- adults only areas on the ship are lovely and there was plenty of adult only entertainment!
