Waste of money

Review for a Mexican Riviera Cruise on Disney Wonder

First Time Cruiser • Age 40s

Cabin- we had a nice balcony along with lots of space. 5 stars for that. Food- main dinning room was not good, at all. Whole wheat pasta for kids, is that a joke? Nope. No Caesar salad on dinner menus. No buffet at night either. Room service is available 24/7 though. We had the late dining at 8:15 pm, terrible. Kids were tired. Dinner service was awful, we appeared to be the last ones there ...

We've sailed with Disney twice before--once in 2016, on the Magic, and again in 2018, on the Fantasy. The Disney Magic was our first ever cruise with anyone and we loved the experience. We loved the ambiance, we loved the food, and we loved the feeling that came with the impression that we were well taken care of. Seven years and six months later, and our experience on the Dream was almost the ...

This is our first Cruise with our family ( 4yrs old girl and 11yrs old boy). It was a horrible experience… it was not relaxing! The food was terrible- I've never felt so rushed on a vacation for breakfast and lunch because they close super early. I couldn't just take time to drink our coffee and grab few more bites of food.. When your on a vacation it should feel relaxed and timeless. Dinner was ...

We sailed out of Nee Orleans with a 1 year old and 3 year old. The Oceaneers kids club and the nursery were under construction. My kids could not experience these areas. They did not have an open house for the kids clubs that my toddlers could go to. The food was not that great except for the breakfast and lunch buffets. We had to come back a day early due to bad weather. We were not compensated ...

A Disappointing Voyage with Disney Dream

2-5 Cruises • Age 30s

Our family eagerly anticipated a magical vacation aboard the Disney Dream, destined for Nassau and Castaway Cay. Unfortunately, the experience was far from enchanting, feeling more scheduled and transactional than magical. The reliance on the Disney Cruise App for managing every aspect of our day felt overly rigid and impersonal, stripping away the spontaneity and joy we had hoped for. The ...

Well below the advertised exceptional service, overpriced and poor communication from DCL

Review for a Australia & New Zealand Cruise on Disney Wonder

First Time Cruiser • Age 30s

My recent 6-night Disney Wonder cruise from Sydney over New Year's was marked by a series of disappointing experiences that left me questioning the value of the hefty price tag. The trip started with a frustrating health check email hours before departure, requiring an internet connection to complete while trying to entertain a preschooler. Booking cruise activities proved to be a letdown, with ...

I heard great things about the service, dinner shows and wanted a little holiday for my family (sole parent and pre-schooler), and head the photography was expensive but worth it. Even though I pre purchased a photo pac, only ~12 photos were taken onboard (one at diner on night 3, and only two photos each character we managed to visit - as super hero’s didn’t have photographers). Luckily ...

Disney has gone so far downhill. Our first two cruises on the Magic were magical. Everything you think to expect from a Disney cruise. This one? Disney Dream to Bermuda in October 2023 was a hot mess. Ship's Appearance Disney was always the standard in cleanliness. Not now. The entire ship had the stink of sweat. One section, The District, added in the aromas of urine, vomit and poop. It ...

Never Again. Post Pandemic Cruise is not worth the money

This was our second Disney cruise. The first one we took just before the pandemic in February the month before shut downs started. The first cruise was phenomenal. We felt like we were getting the value for our money and it was MAGIC. The second one was an awful experience. Worse than Carnival. I want to go through the specifics of the "why" behind our deciding this was never going to happen ...

Terrible- would not recommend and would not go again. Had plenty of great experiences before Covid on the magic, the dream, however was a nightmare. Day 1 - not a day only a couple of hours - waiting outside the terminal. When my time was set for 1:15-1:30, I expected to be boarding the boat, not waiting outside in the street. There was not enough parking and my husband had to walk 1/2 to park the ...
