Disney Wonder Review

Additional details
The Disney Wonder 5 night cruise from Miami to Mexico is fabulous. Disney does it right. There was a long line when we pulled up to drop off our luggage, however as we got closer we realized that it was not our ship with the line. In fact, our ship had no line. Imagine the company that runs the theme parks running a ship. Yes, it works, and it works well. A company with incredible customer service at it's standard? Yes, it works and it works well. Boarding was fast and easy. Entertaining kids, while adults have alone time....you guessed it, Disney, yes, it works and it works well. We booked the cruise with another family member, during the week of spring break out of the port of Miami, with a Florida residents rate, 5 night cruise. It was our first cruise as a family and it was out of this world wonderful. Disney dreamed it, and did it.
ONce on board, we had lunch on deck at the buffet and enjoyed the skyline of Miami as we left port. We took a bag each as hand baggage with bathing suits and sunscreen so we could change and enjoy the pool as bags were taken to room. By the time we were done with the sun, it was late afternoon and we arrived at our state room (on a lower deck) with our luggage and a welcome note from the cruiseline awaiting.
For our party of seven, we were introduced our first evening to our crew. On the Disney cruises, guests rotate restaurants with the staff, so you really get a chance to know your team, and they treat you like family from day one. Pierre, Pierre, Pierre, what can we say other than you run an amazing crew in your restaurants, you are truly the James Bond of cruise ship dining. We saw you each and every night of our cruise no matter what seating or location, and you were always kind, and made the kids feel incredibly special. Thank you. Mahmet, the same. Always working and always with a smile and time for everyone. Vishal and Gerta, the kids LOVED you too. Vishal, I do not believe we have ever been taken care of at a restaurant in the manner in which you took care of us. Our favorite family dining restaurant was the Animators palace. Menu options were perfect.
Cabin Review
no issues with the cabin. family of 3 had space for everything. The porthole view was fine. This was a deluxe family cabin with porthole view. it was toward the aft of the ship. The cabin had a connecting door that did not connect to our family, and we could hear more than we wanted to hear. Love the separate shower and toilet areas. The safe in the cabin was a really nice size, couch comfy, very comfortable bed. One traveller is 6'4" tall, so you can imagine if there was space for the three of us, it is an accommodating space. We have no complaints.
