Second recent cruise on Disney cruise line after the pandemic. We are Diamond Plus members with RCCL (for perspective). Although RCCL ships are beautiful and entertainment is top notch the service and especially the Food has gone down the tube. Only the Specialty Dining is good.
Disney however is the total package! Beautiful ships, amazing entertainment, spectacular service, great tasting food ...
We chose the Northern Europe Itinerary as our first Disney cruise. We were 2 adults traveling without children. Our veranda room was comfortable. We purchased a Rain Forest Package for out entire 7 day sail; it was luxurious. The shows and entertainment were professional. There were talented musicians performing daily in many different venues. The adult only sections of the ship were excellent. ...
This was the 3rd long'ish (>10 days) cruise we've gone to Europe via the Disney Magic, and it was once again, one of the best vacations we've ever had. So many reasons . . . I will miss many..
We love the ship, as it is just the right size for us and we booked very early, snagging one of the least expensive (white metal) veranda's in the stern of Deck 7 at a pretty reasonable price ...
There are many factors that will influence overall ratings: The ship, the food, the service, the destination visited/itinerary. These are all within the cruise line control. Weather, how smooth the ride was is much more subjective and can sometimes make an ok trip wonderful or the other way around.
Being on the Disney Magic for 10 nights, on the once a year Norway-Iceland-Scotland cruise ...
Embarkation: After two days of visiting beautiful Copenhagen, our family was very excited for our second ever Disney Cruise (First was a Disney Dream 3-night Bahamas cruise in 2011)! After taking the crowded local bus line to the port, we were greeted by the expected wonderful hospitality of Disney. Every question we had about our luggage was quickly and happily answered. We then posed for a quick ...
We chose this cruise because our daughter and son-in-law selected it. We went along to spend time with them and the grand kids. Disney is more expensive than other lines, but it is definitely different. What we loved:
1. the entertainment was all wonderful and appealed to all ages
2. the absence of Park West and that awful overpriced art
3. the absence of a casino
4. the kids ...
We arrived in Copenhagen 2 days before our cruise and had a chance to get acclimated to the time change, do a city tour and enjoy Tivoli Gardens. It was our second visit to Copenhagen and it was absolutely delightful.
We visited the Viking Museum in Oslo and did the Hop-on/off tour. There was very little information on that tour, a bit disappointing but a lovely drive through the city. There ...
I chose this cruise for the ports of call-Norwegian Fjords towns of Stavanger, Alesund, Geiranger & Bergen. I went with a friend who used her Disney Vacation points to take the cruise and she is a huge Disney Cruise Line fan. She has had wonderful experiences and really enjoys seeing the children have so much fun. Great memories.
I have been on 14 cruises on various cruise lines including ...
Background Information
Last year on the Mediterranean DCL cruise, we played with the idea of booking a new trip onboard, this time to Norway. The idea nearly felt a bit preposterous - as we were both native Norwegians living in Norway - should we really do a Disney Cruise to our own homeland? Then again, thousands of Norwegians travel the coast of Norway with Hurtigruten, so why should going ...
We were on the first Baltic cruise for the Magic and it was wonderful. This was our 5th Disney cruise and 2nd on the Magic. We did some excursions thru the ship and some hop on / off bus. The excursions in St Petersburg - the bus highlight tours was extra special because of our guide - the canal tour not so special also because of the guide but was OK. The activities onboard are too many to ...
