First-time cruiser here, so I don't have any other reference points. This was a family cruise with my wife and two kids, which is why this Disney Cruise was of particular interest. Plus, this specific cruise was part of the Kids Sail free promotion, so we saved quite a bit of money over the cruise we had originally booked (also on Disney). We left from the Port of Los Angeles and set sail for a ...
We are avid Royal Caribbean cruisers...but I sooo love Disney that we decided to try one when it came to this side of the world. We went on board, expecting a lot of Disney to be the decor and theme of the ship, but it was limited. Also, the Disney Wonder looked and felt like an old ship. We were disappointed with the upkeep - lots of items in and around the ship were in need of repair. No ...
We were so excited to go with our kids and family to a Disney Cruise as we had heard good things about it.
However, we were extremely disappointed.
First, the cabin smelled like sewage, particularly the toilet. Disney Wonder is a relatively old ship, so I was not that surprised. However, one or two hours after entering the cruise, our entire floor started to smell like diesel fuel. It was ...
We were on the March 11, 2011 sailing to the Mexican Riviera. We have been on 7 cruises prior to this. NCL 2x, Carnival, Princess, Royal, Costa, and MSC. It was my husband, our two girls (12 and 7) and I. We also had 3 other families with us. We enjoyed this cruise. Like most cruises there was some good and some bad. I had always wanted to try a Disney cruise but they were always double ...
We had a great cruise with absolutely no complaints!!!
This was our second Disney cruise and once again they proved that this is truly a family friendly ship. It is amazing how well the children are received and respected by the cast and crew. They were always given a lot of attention and whenever possible addressed by name. Most other cruise lines treat kids like they are second class citizens ...
I would not consider this cruise a good value for the money. We paid twice as much as our last 7 day Princess cruise, and it wasn't nearly as good. My 9 year-old daughter agrees. The dining hours were terrible. The buffet was closed almost every time I went for food. The three times I did manage to get in, food was school cafeteria quality. The dining room's food was not much better. The service ...
After reading some of the previous reviews I have to say that the cruise depends a lot on your attitude. ANY cruise, not just the Disney cruise have great things, good things and bad things, it's what you focus on that determines your vacation.
I want to start with a couple of little tips I thought might be helpful for the next cruiser.My first question was what time should we arrive at the ...
This was our 9th cruise, first time on Disney. We've always wanted to try Disney Cruising, as we love everything else Disney, but felt it was too expensive. So when they came to the West Coast, we decided to capitalize on the fact that we did not need to purchase air. Boy are we glad we made that choice!
The mexican riviera is not our destination of choice, so our focus was relaxing and ...
I wouldn't suggest going on this ship unless you have infants or toddlers in your party because this is what the whole cruise is geared for, families with very young children. We just got off the old tub & my ears are still ringing from kids & babies crying. We took our children & grandchildren on this cruise. We were all so excited to go & came away so disappointed. We arrived at the ship around ...
Our Trip on the Disney Wonder
I am not a Disney person, I like the parks, but do not make special trips to go there. I have no vinyl Disney decals on my car. So take this review with that in mind. We are pretty veteran cruises though, this being our 9th.
We decided to jump on the "Kids Sale Free" (KSF) promo that Disney was running for the Mexican Riviera (MR) cruises on the Wonder. ...
