There are many elements influencing a specific cruise: The itinerary and ports of call, on-board activities, food, entertainment, the cabin, other amenities and so on. Having been on another ship also gives you a point of reference to start with.
This was a 4-night cruise from Miami, with stops as Castaway Cay, Nassau and Key West on the Disney Wonder
Ports of Call:
Cabin 8014 is a forward cabin, right beneath the top deck and the "adult" section of the boat. It is very convenient to access the top deck (next to stairs), main entertainment (Walt Disney Theatre on Dec 4 FWD) but a bit further from the dining areas (more in the Aft portion of the ship) and the Kids Club (midship, deck 5). Being on the left side of the ship on this particular itinerary means that from the balcony, you will mostly see water (you will see more land on the right side). At Castaway Cay, once docked, the better view is also on the other side.
The cabin itself was quite comfortable and did accommodate (with ample space for storage and movement) 4 adults and 1 child. The only item requiring improvement is the couch which needs to be replaced (hard and lumpy- but was comfortable as a bed).
We had one engineering issue during our stay (toilet) which was promptly fixed by staff.
Noise was not an issue
A great way to get an orientation on Key West and see sights that might be of interest. A bit on the pricey side, but worth it
The most interesting part was actually the narrated tour to/from Atlantis. Although the Aquarium is in an interesting setting, it is getting old and is not that impressive anymore. For the price charged, this is pretty much a total waste of money
Castaway Cay is always nice, with just the right mix of activities, beach, retail and the traditional lunch time BBQ. Enjoyment of Castaway Cay is very weather dependent and we had perfect beach weather on the day of our visit. We were at low tide, so algaes on the floor were a bit of an issue. Water temperature was reasonable for this time of year
Miami is the embarkation point for this cruise. There is plenty to do in Miami but actual port excursions are mostly limited to transportations
