Being a Florida resident and nearly close to 100 trips to the Disney World Parks throughout my lifetime, I was truly elated to bring my family on the Disney Wonder for a true family vacation. Surprisingly, I was terribly disappointed in the level of service that I have seen from this Disney experience.
Living in South Florida my family cruises often, so we know what to expect, but this level ...
This cruise was just a little get away - just my sister and I - we are in our 50's. This was my 24th cruise- have been on Princess, NCL, Royal Caribbean and Disney before.
We booked a 1 bedroom concierge suite - and I have absolutely no complaints about the suite. It was amazing. And the level of service with the concierge is great - we had Joanne and she couldn't do enough for us. We ...
I am seven years old and writing this on my own (though my dad is doing some of the typing). We have friends who are "holiday" friends & they went. My favorite restaurant on the Disney Cruise was Triton's. It was my favorite dinner restaurant. My favorite breakfast restaurant was Beach Blanket Buffet. When I walked onto the cruise, I almost flipped off! I did not think that it was going to be this ...
We recently did a family trip on the Disney Wonder for ten of us. The age range of our travelers was 5 years old to 73! Our cruise was a big success! We were so impressed with Disney's level of service. Embarkation and debarkation were very smooth, moved right along. The ship is beautiful and well kept. We were in a verandah cabin and we were very happy with it. Extremely clean and ...
Two older women on a Disney Cruise with no children was a recipe for disappointment.
First, boarding in Miami was our first mistake. What a disaster! From the chaos at MIA to the ridiculously absurd directions to the port, to the end of the trip and waiting 7 hours in MIA for a plane because we had to be off the ship by 9:30 am, we were very aware that whoever operates this cruise, has never ...
The Disney Wonder is a great ship for families with young children. It is a non-stop playground that gives the kids something to do every minute of every day. As a grandparent, I was thrilled to see them having so much fun and enjoyed the many activities that were also provided for the time we were not together. The ship is set up to accommodate children and I commented several times to my wife ...
This was our 4th Disney cruise, and the first time sailing on the Wonder. We have previously sailed on the Magic (3-night in 2005) the Dream (3-night in 2013) and the Fantasy (7-night in 2015). We have two teenagers, ages 14 and 16. Since we live in Orlando we usually sail out of Port Canaveral, but this time we cruised with extended family from all over and Miami was the most convenient port ...
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:
This is an ...
Just got back from a 5 day cruise that went to Grand Cayman and Castaway Cay. There were 8 in our party (4 adults and 4 children (from 6-10 years of age). I have been on three previous Carnival Cruises in the past (even though I am a huge fan of Carnival, my wife wanted to do the Disney thing before the kids got to big) so now I can compare the two different cruise lines. Over all it was a very ...
I just returned from a 5-day cruise with my wife, two kids (aged 4.5 and 22 months), along with the grandparents. This was our first Disney Cruise. Overall, it was a fantastic experience. Service was excellent, food was well above average, and the kids had a great time, which was our primary purpose. Some specific notes below...
Embarkation: We splurged for the 1-BR concierge suite because ...
