After many years we took the family on a Disney Cruise and current will be the first and last one taken. I do not understand the hype and blind following DCL has. We are fans of the parks and hotels, annual pass holders, but it seems like the Cruise Line just does not have the same standards as the parks.
While the ship is nice enough, the layout leave a lot to be desired. To start the main ...
My 3 year old had the time of her life, but I was disappointed. The Disney Oceaneer club for kids was fantastic and the nursery was also good. The adult entertainment and activities were awful. The buffet was better than average, but the main dining room, Pinocchio's Pizza, and the grill was bad to mediocre. If you don't have a rewards status on Disney, you can forget about booking any specialty ...

About me: 60ish great aunt of these sailing kids, my 11th cruise, first and last on Disney
Who Sailed: Extended family of 8, 6 adults and 2 children, including a 5 year old who turned 6 on the cruise, in 3 balcony cabins booked a year before sailing.
Biggest Disappointments: Guest Services Handling of Gifts and Amenities (NOT our ...
Planned and looked forward to this once a year itinerary for well over a year, sorry Disney but because of this poorly executed sailing we are trying another cruise line; just cancelled our B2B in 2020 and booked with RC. This 11 day sailing was fraught with sub par entertainment at best, even the Aladdin musical was reportedly an understudy who could not sing! The movies were the same repeated ...
We went on this cruise with my then 5 year old and 3 year old sons. Although they aren't that into Disney specifically, we figured they'd enjoy the kids activities and we'd get some much needed adult time away.
The short version is this: The Kids Club and Kids Activities were a big disappointment, particularly if you have [stereotypical] boys.

Wow, what a miss that was! ...
We booked this cruise solely based on the fact that they dress up their private island for Christmas as well as the cruise ship. We were so disappointed and the cruise for the most part was then no different than any other cruiseline. Disney doesn't even offer you a credit towards another cruise to make up for it. Then when we got back I heard this happens quite often which is very upsetting. The ...
We have been on many cruises but this one had a lot to complain about:
No free desserts in the evening - you need to pay extra (and not cheap)
Limited variety of food offered at dinner
Food quality below other cruise standards
No pool for adults to swim - just a wading pool
Limited activities for children not yet out of diapers
Entertainment geared strictly for young kids (over ...
Having done my last 3 trips on Carnival and Previous to the on Royal Caribbean was very much looking forward to Disney cruise having heard so many positive things about service and experience. While we enjoyed our trip very little impressed us about Disney.
Water Park: Aquduck was very fun and lines were never to long even on a sold out ship
Pool not having salt water was nice as ...
Because my granddaughter is a Disney person and we made her 6th birthday special for her. It was except for that god awful dinner food. I am still I’m shock cause of that food. When people ask me how my cruise was I tell them it was awesome but the food in the main dining I wouldn’t feed to a dog. I’ve never seen so much wasted food as I seen on this cruise. As of right now I would never book ...
We choose Disney because we had heard so many good things about it. My husband wanted to surprise me for my birthday.
So, he booked the cruise. Wanting first to experience for ourselves what a lot of people were saying about Disney, and secondly wanting to check it out before possibly taking all of our eight grandchildren.
This is what we encountered....
Upon arriving we went to the ...
