We selected Disney as they have always provided the best service, food variety, entertainment and shore excursions. This was our second Disney Alaska cruise. This was a 9 day adventure and it took us to places we did not experience before. People ask us, "what about the kids?" Well, Disney has play & pool areas and entertainment set aside specifically for kids. Also, they have clubs and an ...
Embarkation The port at Seattle is nice and spacious. The lines were pretty quick and boarding was fast. We got to the port at around 11:15 and quickly got through check-in within about 10 minutes. There was a mix up because they had my mother in law as a first timer so they wouldn't give her the silver lanyard, etc. They did note it though and later when I was on the ship, I checked with ...
My family and I (3 cabins consisting of my parents, sister/brother in law/3 children, and my wife)decided to give Disney cruise line a try after going on 7 excellent Royal Caribbean Cruises. We flew in from NY to depart from Seattle on the Disney Wonder for a 1 week alaska cruise. I had never experienced a single problem nor have I ever complained once with any other cruise or cruise line but the ...
My wife and I joined family members for a planned three generation cruise. We have both sailed to Alaska from our hometown of Seattle before on Holland America, but this was our first experience on a Disney ship.
Staterooms - Well designed for families, certainly ample space in our 4A room for two people. Wave phones make communication easy on ship but we didn't really use them. TV shows the ...
Most reviews you read are about what that person thought and I never find those very informative as we all have different likes and dislikes. I enjoy the reviews where I get inside info and tips about the cruise that I may not have known/discovered otherwise, so my review I intend to give some tips and advice that may or may not help you out if planning a Disney Cruise on the Wonder, rather than ...
This was my son (age 13) and my 4th time sailing Disney and let me tell you they did not disappoint. Flying into Seattle was a little different then we are used to. Usually we say good-bye to our bags when we leave our home airport and dont see them again until they arrive at our room on board. This time we did have to claim them, walk through the airport with them, and then leave them with the ...
Having been on five different cruise on Carnival and NCL my expectation of Disney were very high. I am happy to say - I was NOT let down. After day three my wife and I looked at each other and agreed this was one of the best cruises we had been on. On previous cruises we could find something to complain about - not on the DISNEY WONDER. We traveled with 17 family members, ages 4 - 75. And everyone ...
We have been on five previous cruises, all with Princess. Perhaps, if this was our first cruise, this review would be more favorable. After saying that, I have to admit that we did not cruise with children before. We cruised this time with our daughter and son in law, our two grand children, 5 and 9, and another couple with their two children of the same age.
The children loved the cruise ...
We just returned from a 7 night cruise to Alaska from Seattle, WA. Since we live in WA, it was nice to not have to worry about plane fare. We had Shuttle Express pick our party up from our house and drive us right to the Pier. We have never had such easy boarding before. You wheeled your luggage in, then went to the counter to turn in your cruise documents. What was nice was they had Mickey and ...
This was our third Disney Wonder cruise with grandchildren. Last year we were on this ship to the Mexican Riviera and the kids loved the Edge and Oceaneer counselors and activities. Since the Disney cruise was much more expensive than other cruises to Alaska we felt it was worth it after our previous experience with the Disney difference on two other cruises. The kids were so excited to be on ...
