We sailed on the rerouted cruise on 11/4. The ship is BEAUTIFUL, a true work of art. All areas of the ship are immaculately clean. We never once smelled any sewage or saw anything out of place. Our waiters (Lucio and Paul) were fantastic, our kids really enjoyed them and their nightly magic tricks. Our stateroom attendant, Ronald, kept our stateroom spotless and his towel animals were great. We saw three shows, the best of which was Buckets and Boards. In a world were any idiot can be famous for absolutely nothing, it is a shame that people who use their amazing talents well are somewhat overlooked. Gareth and Matt were so entertaining and extremely enjoyable when we met them. The second best show was Aladdin. I had read that the show has too much of the Genie, he is a large part of the show but for good reason. The up to date jokes make the well known story more enjoyable. We also saw Believe and we didn't care for it at all. It was nice to see all of the Disney characters to show up but overall it just felt like a cheesy way to tell a story. I have seen better shows on Carnival. We went out on our own in Cozumel to Chankanaab Park and we highly recommend it. The park is beautiful and so clean and well manicured. The taxi fair is preset at $12.00 each way so it is a rather inexpensive day. We booked a beach day through Disney in Costa Maya. I'm not one for cruise ship excursions, we'd rather go it alone most of the time, but since we were switched from an eastern cruise to a western and we didn't know anything about Costa Maya, we thought we would play it safe. The excursion itself started off a little shaky, lots of standing around waiting with some confusion mixed in. Although once we arrived at the beach we enjoyed ourselves. Drinks were included and were brought by a waiter who was friendly. There were five ships in port in Grand Cayman and we had been there before so we just walked around town, did some shopping, and got some coffee and ice cream. What else can be said about Castaway Cay that hasn't already been said hundreds of times. It is absolutely magnificent and a great way to end a fun cruise. Everyone asks if Disney cruises are worth the extra money and I think that overall they are. They give you those Disney experiences that no one else can and we will sail with them periodically in the future between cruises on other lines.

Cabin Review

Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah

Cabin 05A

WOW!!! What a room. It is setup a little differently than a standard cabin as the bed faces the side of the ship rather than the front or back. There was plenty of room for the four of us (2 adults and 2 kids). The veranda is huge and really a great spot. The only complaint I have is that this room does not have a curtain between the main bed and the bunk beds/ couch. We will certainly look to book this room again in the future.
