First of all I will start with what was the most impressive, the customer service and the quality of food, Our cabin steward was awesome (thanks Igor), and the meals the best of our cruising experience.
This was our fourth cruise, first on Disney. We have previously sailed on Carnival and Royal Caribbean. We did our research, watched the videos, and spoke with people we knew. The whole family, myself, husband, son age 12 and daughter age10 were left feeling a sense of disappointment. Maybe the trip was too short, out others were 7 nights, or perhaps we built it up in our minds to big, (although it was a surprise for the kids).
We enjoyed a show, The Golden Mickey's, but overall felt a lack of activities and mystery over who this cruise is really for. The bars were plentiful for the adults, but the entertainment was lack luster or non existent. The Atrium performers, we found to be terrible, we ran every time we heard them. The children's clubs were ok, and even though they are bigger than the other cruise lines, most often lacked structure. Pirate night was cute, the fireworks a little short, but not bad, and the menu was gross, for a lack of a better term. None of like of food this one night only. Halloween on the High Seas was fun and probably the best night on the ship. The kids received bags with candy in the stateroom and received more candy during the atrium event.
Room was great with a generous extended balcony and lovely view. The split bathrooms were awesome as we had two nights in costume on this cruise. Would recommend this room. Relatively quiet and spacey.
