This was our second time on Disney Wonder but our sixth cruise with Disney Cruise Line. We had been on the Wonder in April 2008 for a 3-night to the Bahamas and were wondering how the Wonder crew was adjusting to the longer itineraries now that she's moved to the west coast.

We sailed from Vancouver having booked air, pre-cruise hotel, and transfers through the cruise line. Everything went smoothly for getting us to Vancouver and housed for a few nights before heading across the street to Canada Place for embarking on our cruise. Check-in at the port was easy and whatever kinks they had in the process in the first couple of sailings seemed to have been worked out.

Upon boarding, we were directed to Parrot Cay for the Welcome Aboard buffet. This was a welcome change from the seat-yourself buffet on Deck 9 because we were seated and then we didn't have to juggle daybags, etc., while balancing plates and such. We had dining changes that needed to be made, so we took care of those after lunch, and then only had a few moments before our cabin was ready. We chose the same cabin (6116 - just forward of aft on the port side) that we had when we sailed before and also always get on the Wonder's sister ship the Magic. The location is ideal. Our cabin was in good repair and our cabin steward was attentive to our needs.

Cabin Review

Cabin 4B

Cabin 6116 is just forward of aft on the port side. This cabin sleeps four - two twin beds that can be pushed together, the single sofa that flips over to make a bed, and a bunk that drops from the ceiling. The cabin has a verandah which gives added living space. There is a steamer trunk to add storage space. There is a split bathroom - toilet/sink in one, sink/tub(shower) in the other.

This cabin is situated on Deck 6 while the beverage station, buffet and pools are on Deck 9 and two of the three dining rooms are aft just two or three decks below. The movie theater is on Deck 5.

The cabin is just above the lifeboats so you don't have to worry if your children stomp loud in the cabin - no one below to disturb. This cabin is near the elevators but not just where the lobby and hallway meet so you don't have people congregating outside your cabin. There is not a stateroom directly across and this is not a connecting cabin. Also on the verandah, one side is completely solid while the other is mostly solid but you can look around if you wanted to.
