After pondering for several years on whether to sail on Disney or another cheaper cruise line, my family of 3 (including 7 y/o boy) took the plunge and reserved a category 04e cabin (5532) which is a deluxe family stateroom with oversized verandah. Port Canaveral is very well run, with embarkation proceeding smoothly. You leave your bags with porters at the curb, go through security, then go ...
3rd Disney cruise and loved it again every time room has been immaculate cleaned every day and towels are folded into animals and bed sheets changed every day.
People say pool is too small and the 2 pools for all ages are small however it isn’t easy to have a large pool onboard a cruise ship there are also adult exclusive pools and a pool for teen club vibe (14-17)
Ship is easy to navigate ...
this Was our first ever cruise we chose the western Caribbean itinerary and wasn’t disappointed our room host was so thorough and very polite and friendly our restaurant servers were fantastic the ship was immaculate absolutely beautiful our room host and restaurant hosts went over and beyond for us nothing was ever a bother the food was superb at all restaurants we dined at and we never went ...
Started poorly at embarkation, we were so excited and visited the Supervisors Desk as advised to inquire as if there were any possible available cabin upgrades, knowing full well they are not free but the Supervisor was "surly" no smile and spat out verbally our family was "to early for that" (note we stood at her desk for about 10 minutes while she played with the computer not even acknowledging ...
I chose this cruise because we had a terrible winter, we are bad at renting lake houses (the weeks we choose are invariably colder than normal), and I noticed that the Fantasy, the only DCL ship I hadn't been on, had a 3 night that was at Castaway Cay on my BDay. Sold! Booked it at the end of January; sailed July 11.
We started sailing DCL in 2003 with the Wonder, then Magic in 2004 and Dream ...
I had chosen this cruise as everyone said you have to experience the magic. I am from Florida, so grew up around Disney world so had opportunity to get a deal on this cruise line. Took my mom, 13 year old and a 2 year old. I was disappointed in kids club - there is a focus on 3-12 year olds and then 14-17, the Edge (13 year old club) wasn't good at all. There weren't many activities and those ...
We had such a wonderful time on the Disney Fantasy! Our dining staff (Massiel and Eduardo) were absolutely amazing! The only thing that could have made it better was that I got food poisoning in Mexico, and wasnt feeling good the rest of the week. The DCL Staff did everything they could to make me feel better. People calling the room to constantly check on me, and the nice gestures. One more ...
Fun. The sight seeing on the islands were definitely the highlights. Was disappointed that my 6-year old and 8- year old hated the kids club. They asked the counselors to call us to pick them up after just an hour because they were bored. They were there for "sloppy science" but the tiny room was full of kids so they couldn't partake... but it wasn't hands on for the kids anyway. They just ...
My wife and kids went on a Disney Cruise as part of our first vacation with our young kids. From day one we felt like our family was part of a third world country flea market.
Every single person tried to upsale us on all services imaginable. it progressively got worse when my son stepped on a sea shell inside the boat. We went to the Ship emergency room and the nurse gave my wife a disgusted ...
Second cruise with Disney. First was 20 years ago. Concierge cabin (part of my group booked concierge level), perhaps the only extra that was worth the extra price.
The internet charges are exorbitant. Why Disney has chosen to make this a profit center is beyond me. Many I spoke to when the cruise ended were paying over $800 extra for internet service. Why can't they at least offer a ...
