This was our first cruise on Disney and a lot of Disney it was. Disney characters and themes are on the walls, floors, and ceilings throughout the ship. All of the movies on stateroom tv, the movie theater, the big screen at poolside are Disney productions as were all of the stage productions at the Walt Disney theater.

Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom --- Larger than on other ships with a separate shower/bath and vanity/toilet. Our cabin steward, Ferdinand (Ferdi), was great and very helpful answering questions and giving directions. The extra large porthole window provided an excellent view of the water and there was a curtain that could be pulled to separate the sitting/desk area from the sleeping bathroom areas. Plenty of closet and storage space. We didn't need it but the couch could be converted into an additional bed and there was a "drop down" bed located in the ceiling. This stateroom could easily accommodate two adults and two kids. We were at the bow on the starboard side and had a serious paint/varnish smell in our stateroom for most of the cruise. This was bad enough sometimes to give my wife and I headaches.

Dining --- The food in the main dining rooms was very good and the servers were excellent throughout the cruise. The rotation dining through all three of the main dining rooms was great and we had the same servers and table mates each night. We paid the extra cover of $20ea to eat at the specialty Italian restaurant, Palo, one night and it was Outstanding !!! The fast food, ice cream, pizza, deli, and 24-hour self serve drink station on deck nine all serve very good food and were never crowded at any time during the cruise. The Topsider buffet is small, the food is average at best, and they are open only a few hours each day. Breakfast and lunch is served in at least two of the main dining rooms each day so there is not much need to visit the buffet unless you just want to.
