Additional details

Sail Date: Feb 2009
Traveled with children

I (40 something), my wife (30 something), and my child (2 1/2 something) grabbed a last minute trip with Disney two days before it sailed. This will be our second cruise as parents, the first was with RC. The child is not potty trained and this is important as those not potty trained are treated differently than toddlers who are (both lines). The trip was for relaxation, good food, and the enjoyment of the child. Disney was able to come through on all three for us with amazingly flying colors. I'm almost reluctant to share the news as I certainly would love to keep this a secret.

I have traveled Princess prior to it's sale, Celebrity, RC, and unfortunately my first cruise many years ago was on Carnival. This would have to be my overall best cruise experience for the above three categories of import.

Just some notes I thought some may find helpful. If you drive to the port, don't drop your luggage outside the gates. Drive through as if you are parking, unload your car after passing the gates and then park leaving your family with the bags. I dropped off the family outside the gates at the drop off and this created a bit of inconvenience. You will have to pay $105 cash or MasterCard/visa (not amex) before you park. There is an upcharge of about $60 for over sized vehicles. There are signs that say not to leave food in cars because of possible ant infestations.
