First let me say that overall we definetly enjoyed the cruise. We were on the Disney Magic, which is approx 17 years old, and this is obvious when you board. Perhaps some of the let down was on me, as I set my expectations based on the Disney brand, hype, and increased costs compared to competitor lines with the same itinerary (allbeit not Castaway Kay but rather their own private island). My ...
We did our first Disney Cruise and expectation were high but it actually turned out to be an average cruise. In my opinion it was overpriced for what was provided. The only advantage of Disney is having the Characters on the boat and if your children are into that than I guess it maybe worth the additional hundreds of dollars. The boat is one of the oldest in the fleet but it was recently ...
We are Castaways Club members and, as such, have been on several Disney Cruises. In fact, we will not cruise on any other cruise line. Having said that, our recent cruise on the Disney Magic was disappointing. The ship is in dire need of a big makeover, especially in the adults only pool area. The pool area has a lot of rust and surface dirt and the only food available is if you walk to the ...
Our very 1st cruise was the Disney Magic in October,1998. We had a incredibly beautiful balcony stateroom. The food was excellent and the entertainment was phenomenal! It was our 2nd year anniversary. Since then we have cruised to Africa, New Zealand, Australia, Hawaii, Alaska and several Caribbean cruises. We were looking forward to again cruising with Disney, so using the Florida Resident ...
My mother, 2 newphews and I sailed on the Disney Magic in August this year, this was our second cruise on the ship. My mother and I are frequent cruisers with Celebrity and Cunard and have also sailed with NCL and MSC.
The positives about Disney are definitely the service in the dining rooms and the stateroom, our wait staff were outstanding and Shakka our stateroom attendant went above and ...
So anyway. We have cruised before 4 times infact. Every cruise we have been on has had great excursions, great pricing, great value, and if we had any problems with them we had money off the bill.
This brings me to my first and biggest criticism of the Disney Cruise line excursions.
Firstly we where almost certain we cancelled one of our excurions. It was a visit to Monaco with the little train. ...
Let me first begin in saying there is no such thing as a bad cruise. I know some will disagree with me, especially those on Carnival a couple of seasons ago, but for our family, vacationing on a cruise ship is the best way to go. Even to this day our discussions of vacations surround Cruise Ships.
We started this life style in March of 2001 on the Disney Magic. Since this was our first cruise ...
This was our first cruise ever, so we were new to everything. I did have pretty high expectations for the Disney cruise line, since I know several people who had gone on them and loved them.
Our first issue occurred the first day while at the pool/splash area. If you have a child not fully potty trained, please read. My 4 year old and 2 year wanted to swim as soon as they saw the swimming/splash ...
I traveled with my mother on this three day "quick-cruise" as a prelude to a Disney Parks visit, to "whet the appetite" for all things Disney. I am mid-30's and she is mid-60's and we both love Disney, and we are used to expecting -and getting - the finest in entertainment and service from the Disney brand. I have cruised quite often, at least once a year, and had been on the Magic once before in ...
This was my 2nd time cruising with Disney. First was on the Fantasy, this one on the Magic. I don't know if it was that the Fantasy was so much better or what, but we had some issues with this ship. First off, the weather was cold, which didn't help. Not Disney's fault but none the less, irritating.
1. STATEROOM: To start, we had 2 staterooms (2075-2077). 2075 was ok, 2077 always had a septic ...
