I love Disney and I love cruises, so I thought I was going to love this. We have a 10 year old who also loves Disney and cruises. But something about the combination left me cold. I should state that we got off to a very bad start and I found it difficult to recover. There was a two-hour line at the port, extending into the parking garage, because it was the first trip for them out of their ...
This is definitely a cruise for family with little kids. They are just running around, noisy and messy.
First the pros. The crew is very friendly and very professional. We were very grateful for their services. The shows were exceptional and very entertaining, catering for not only for kids. The stateroom that we were in (Veranda) is very nice. One particular good point is they have a separate ...
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. ...
We chose this cruise to have a family vacation during our grandson's Spring Break. So we have always gone to Disney since our children 39 and 37 were young but it has gotten so hectic at the parks we thought we would try a cruise. It is like being in the parks on a packed day! The dining room is so full of tables your servers have trouble bringing your food. If anyone has a disability they are ...
Disclaimer: we are not Disney die-hard fans. We were already in Miami and the dates worked for us.
We are a family of 4: one adult, one 14 yo and two 10 yo. We originally had whatever is below the 1 bedroom suite and it was VERY small. We were luckily able to upgrade to a 1 BR/2 BA suite on the 11th floor (bedroom closes off, separate seating/dining area plus a gorgeous verandah) as soon as ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 am a safety-minded (ok, neurotic) mom of two kids. I was looking for the safest cruise, and, having never been on cruises before, wanted to start with a short one. Thus Disney, thus 3 days.
Embarkation was AWFUL. We showed up on time and waited for what must have been about 2 hours.
Cabin was GREAT. Size and configuration exceeded any expectations.
Food was very very average. Not a lot ...
I am a Disney Fan, so I was excited to take my family on the Disney Dream cruise. I had such high expectations and for the most part, all of them were exceeded.
The welcoming on the boat, made us feel so special.
The shows and performances were like broadway productions.
The restaurants, even the main dining experiences were 5 star
A few things that I did not like
The character ...
