Well where we can start. When we as a family (14 people, 4 cabins) book a cruise we rae looking for a GREAT SERVICE and ESPECTACULAR food. And so far we were lucky in our previous cruises. But with Disney Cruise I never see the magic.
The food is just terrible!!!!! the buffet selection was very limited at all times, the quality of the food is not acceptable and I'm very disappointed not to ...
We recently returned from a seven night Southern Caribbean cruise on the Disney Wonder. After our first experience on the Dream one year earlier, we were expecting to be "wowed" in typical Disney fashion. This was not the case...at all.
We now understand that there are striking differences between the new Dream and the older Wonder. But our entire cruise on the Wonder was a different, and less ...
A frank review from a veteran cruiser, to include 5 Disney cruises. First of all, as always, attentive service is a Disney hallmark. However, the crew is under such pressure to achieve "excellent" ratings that they begin to push you for it and we had numerous private spiels on how anything less than an excellent is tantamount to destroying the employee's career. Therefore, it is very difficult ...
Our family of 13 was on Disney Fantasy in October 2015. We were very disappointed. Our 5 grand kids range from 3 to 14 and there was very little that we could do as a family. The ship was set up to separate the family into different areas on the ship. There wasn't any pool on the ship big enough for all of us to enjoy. If you want to send your teenager to one area, your pre-teen to another ...
Cruise date was 7/15 to the eastern Caribbean. I am a veteran cruiser of 16 previous cruises of various companies and itineraries, and I have a feel for what is good and what isn't when it comes to cruising.
We booked this cruise a 13 months prior to sailing, no visit from the upgrade grade fairy even though we booked substantially far in advance. Boarding was the typical hurry up and wait ...
Disney does a lot of things right, which is why they cost a significant amount more than other cruise lines. This one however, was a bust. It was partially our fault for thinking that just because a room cost $4K it would be nice (inside state room). We are used to having a balcony or at the least, a port hole. DO NOT EVER get an inside room. It was not just us. There was a constant creaking in ...
This was our 20th cruise, the first one on Disney Wonder with the Grandchildren. It was great for the boys but I wonder why anyone without children would ever want to go on a Disney Cruise. There is absolutely nothing for adults to do during the day, other than the pool deck or the ports.
On the plus side, the cabins were nice and large with much drawer and closet space. The split bath was ...
Having never been on a cruise, but always enjoying the "on land" Disney experiences of the past, we chose to venture out on the high seas with Disney Wonder. We wanted an entertaining trip for our 10 year old son and had heard and read a lot of positive comments from others about Disney cruises. Not the least expensive option by far, our expectations we fairly high that this would be a great ...
We did our research, planned for pirate night, (which was fun) and even check out all the things to do at each port.
The room was the highlight, as it was more spacious than we expected.
Pros:
Room, weather, staff
Cons:
Food, activities, general "fun" feeling nonexistent
My biggest complaint would be the "activities" on previous cruises on Royal Carribean and Princess, we have found ...
Pluses:
+ the ship was spotless! I just couldn't find a dirty area anywhere. Not even the pool area when it was jammed with people. None of the public bathrooms either.
+ their service is impeccable
+ we booked a cabin on the concierge deck which turned out to be a very smart move because of the expedited checkin, rapid embarkation past the hour long line, and the concierge lounge.
+ ...
