Disney did it well with having Captain Ken Puckett (former Panama Canal pilot boat captain) and Ron Clements (animator and director of many wonderful animated Disney movies, including Moana and The Little Mermaid) give lectures during sea days. There were also movies shown related to Ron Clements' lectures, animation classes, other Disney movies, Disney shows, cooking classes, hide and go seek for the ship's officers, live music and concerts, many other entertainment acts, trivia and all the usual Disney activities that are on shorter cruises.

I did not enjoy the rap and millennial music that they played for some of the sail aways and Pirate Night Party. The food in the three restaurants has gone downhill, since cruising Wonder in January, for some of the meals, including the desserts. You definitely couldn't tell what they were by their descriptions.

I ordered the spaghetti and turkey meatballs from the children's menu and the Mickey bar one night since you can order from it as well if needed. The breakfast and lunch buffets were excellent. I wasn't impressed with the restaurant for breakfast and brunch either. The food was just okay and took a long time before it was served. Our waitstaff, Elizabeth from Mexico and Levi from South America, were excellent!

Cabin Review

Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Navigator's Verandah

Cabin 07A

Our Navigator's balcony was a decent size. The balcony was smaller than normal, but was protected from the rain and had a working temperature gauge and barametor. Maricris, from the Phillipines, was excellent!
