Disney was amazing at handling luggage and getting you on the ship. Beyond that there isn't much to brag about concerning the cruise. Do you like eating in a fine restaurant and them bring out imitation Jello type cheese cake with those frozen mushy strawberries? How bout lukewarm entrees with that imitation powdered brown gravy mix on your beef? Mmmmm.....

Service was pretty terrible too. When you sit down they're on you like flies with their regimented service schedule which progressively fizzles out as the night goes on. The further you go the more your waiters are engaging in other works unrelated to your coffee being warmed up. The "show" in animators palate comes about long after half of the eaters are gone. Every single night your dinner crawls to an end seemingly at an undefined moment among the hustle and bustle of busy staff walking around with piles of clanking dishes while half the place is empty as you enjoy yet another prefab dessert along with your cold low budget coffee. Mmmm..... The Mango soup(cold) is usually made with cream or half n half which results in a very creamy smooth dish. But on Disney they just blend up a bunch of mangoes resulting in an overly frothy smoothie. Just a mouth full of foam. Everything you put in your mouth on the Wonder is just as above described. The carved beef and the shrimp were pretty good on the buffet.

Food aside, the activities for your kids are akin to just about anything else that they've been exposed to at school/daycare/sunday school etc. Same old stuff beefed up. Its just daycare plain and simple except you're on a boat. The ship isn't as clean as people would have you believe. The exact same people cleaning and running the ship are the same foreigners that are on a zillion other ships. The Wonder isn't a speck cleaner than any other cruise ship of the same age.
