Embarkation and disembarkation were flawless. Because of these scheduled arrival times, the terminal never felt too busy, and we waited in line no more than 2 minutes to board the ship ~1:30. Because we took the official Disney Cruise Line bus from WDW to Port Canaveral we missed our scheduled boarding time (which I selected without knowing the bus pickup/arrival time), but it was a non-issue for us, as by then it was open boarding.

Port Canaveral (Orlando)

The water and snorkeling are beautiful, but the actual area immediately around the port is extremely slimy and touristy in a bad way. We did not hang around this and did not want to... the people working in the shops were very unfriendly and several people complained about how aggressive shop keepers were because we were the only ship in port that day. St. Maarten overwhelmingly had the most beautiful water and beaches, but we actually went to the French side (St. Martin) for our snorkeling.

St. Maarten

Could have used a few more hangars, but we didn't think to ask for more (we probably would have gotten a ton of we did). The two bathroom setup is great, though because the shower is in the makeup area, the mirror was always fogged and didn't defog well. The verandas were great and quiet. Bed (especially the pillows) were amazingly comfortable.

Disney cabin prices are way higher than Carnival and the rest, but given the guarantee of amazing customer service (or epic and nearly awkward problem recovery), my wife and I both felt the price was worth that implicit guarantee of excellence.Excursions were pricy compared to buying for ourselves off ship, but we appreciated the efficiency and quality of the excursion operators we did have, who were just as friendly and professional as the Disney crew.
