We decided to cruise Disney as we were taking our son, his wife and our 5 year old grandson. This is a long post but I want to include everything I can think of.
First of all, I need to state that this was our first cruise ever. We concluded that cruising is not our first choice - we love all-inclusive resorts. With that being said, Disney set the bar pretty high and I'm not sure we would ever find the service or the cleanliness on any other ship. They cater to kids for sure - that's what Disney is about - but we as adults also received exemplary service.
The SHIP: This ship is beautiful. The grand staircase in the atrium, the décor, lighting, restaurants. The attention to detail is unmet. I think there were 3000 guests and 1400 crew ??.
Our stateroom: We were on deck 7 and had two connecting rooms. Our balconies also were connecting which gave us more space so we could all be outside at the same time. We had a double bathroom - one had toilet/sink and the other had shower/tub/sink. Huge plus! The toiletries provided are the good stuff they sell in one of their shops on the ship. Wonderful stuff!! We had plenty of storage. Double closet (separate). There is also storage above the desk area. The bed sits high enough to provide storage for your luggage. We just used our luggage to store our dirty clothing. The drawers close by themselves. Nice! We had the same room steward the entire cruise. He did an awesome job. Constantly refreshing towels and cleaning. Different animals made out of a blanket every night along with Ghirardelli chocolates. Special touches. The adjoining room had a bunk bed above the couch that the steward put down at night for our grandson. He even put Cars themed sheets on the bed for him. Again the special touches. What can I say!
Loved Castaway Cay...lots to do.
We just took a taxi to a beach - disappointing.
