After cruising more than 20 times on most other lines, my husband and I (retired, in our late 60's) finally bit the bullet and tried a Disney cruise last January. We were impressed with several things we think Disney did very well. The embarkation and especially debarkation was flawless. We have NEVER gotten up from a breakfast table before and been told to "just leave the ship." There were NO lines, waiting, fumbling--just empty gangways--a real pleasure.
