I love Disney. Everything about Disney brings me back to my childhood and I go to Disneyland every year.
So I’d thought I would give their cruise a try. My family and I went on the Disney dream to the Bahamas and Castaway Cay in May 2022. We then tried the Ovations of the seas with Royal’s Ovation to Alaska in September 2022. We have ultimately decided to continue with Royal Caribbean. I really ...
It was been about 9 years since we have sailed on Disney and our first cruise in 2 years (since Covid). We had an amazing time. We were concerned with Covid how it would go but in typical Disney fashion it exceeded our expectations.
We arrived to the port at 11 am. After dropping our luggage, we were ushered through to Covid testing. The entire Covid testing staff role modeled the Disney ...
This was my second Disney cruise, the first was on Wonder in 2009. I had great expectations and was expecting many things after watching Youtube videos from recent sailings in February 2022. This sailing was still capacity-controlled which I felt made the trip more enjoyable. Face masks were only required in the terminal while boarding and in the Walt Disney Theatre. Unfortunately, this sailing ...
This was truly a magical experience on the Disney Dream with my family of four (with a 3 year old and 8 month old!) Every single crew member was absolutely phenomenal! Our cabin was very spacious and well maintained. One thing I particularly enjoyed is the focus this cruise line puts on guests and families. Each night at dinner, multiple servers waited on our table and played with/ entertained our ...
We are Gold status cruisers with Disney and have been on all 4 ships. The pre-cruise vaccination and online registration requirements were simple. Upon port arrival, we were assisted with a pre-boarding Covid test. Then we were directed to wait in our vehicle in the parking garage until test results were available, which was about 45 minutes. We had to monitor our email for the results to be sent ...
It was our first Disney Cruise experience. Overall great and we enjoyed our the stateroom and room services a lot. The room is bigger than other cruise lines and is well designed. The only concern was the dining experience and food quality. We sailed with Royal Caribbean before and I would say the food quality and service were definitely not better than (or worse) Royal Caribbean even if the price ...
I have cruised with Carnival, Royal Caribbean, and Norwegian in the past and always had great cruising experiences. I was deterred by DCL’s hefty price tag, but I was convinced to give it a go when my family wanted to go as a joint birthday/Christmas celebration. Overall we all had a great time, and have already put down a deposit for our next cruise!
Embarkation was easy, and the staff was ...
The overall cruise was wonderful but certainly way too expensive. It cost us 20K for 9 people and the overall experience was not worth that much money. We took a Disney Cruise 5 years ago so had previous experience with the ship, the entertainment and the character interactions. I understand the changes for Covid but I do think they went overboard with their precautions and it really impacted ...
My apologies in advance for this long review. But I have a lot to say.
I’m going to start by saying I completely understand that things are different now with COVID. I will also say, I think some companies, including Disney cruises, are abusing the circumstances to their benefit.
Pros: The ship is extremely well maintained! I gave the 4 stars review based mainly on how well kept the entire ...
The staff alone would be enough reason to recommend this cruise. They were wonderful. I didn't encounter one staff member that wasn't excellent. This was a halloween cruise and the ship was at 30% capacity. At times we felt like there was nobody else on the cruise. The hallways always seemed kind of empty. Which can be good and bad. If you've never cruised before you might be missing out on the ...
