Review summary

First time on Disney cruise-- definitely won't be the last! Booking through was easy, organized and very detailed. Thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience- room was terrific -- especially the balcony; lots of fun activities for my 3 yr old as well as me and my husband; dining experience was very good.

Only recommendation would be for the character greetings- It should be for kids only or adults with children. Too many grown-ups taking up the lines and too much time with characters. Have fidgety children not wanting to wait so long in line to meet Mickey or Minnie.

First time having a balcony (verandah) on a cruise. My husband and daughter loved it so much- she had to go out there every chance she got.

Ship tip

Didn't know it was a Halloween themed cruise - received no notification and wish I would have been more prepared, at least with a costume for my daughter. Also, think the character photo opps should be reserved for children or adults with kids. Too many adults taking up the lines and time.

I say "if possible" double the characters and create more lines then when it is time for a group picture the extra mickey and Minnie's peel away nice and easy... Everyone would be happy 😀😀... I'm a kid at heart

Disney is for children of all ages. Disney brings out the child in all of us. Disney markets to the adults...they paid just like you, and if they wanna hug Mickey ...they should ;)

I see your point but you have grown disney fans as well as kids maybe they weren't able to have the experience when they were younger so I see your point but have to disagree. I suggest next time getting in line earlier as they do provide a schedule like I had to do several times for my little ones

I feel your pain! I have a son with autism, waiting isn't something he does very well. A three year old can be very challenging. That said, many adults like the Disney experience as much as kids. (not me) They paid for that chance and should be allowed to participate if they want. I have been onboard with others that are childless, but still want to participate. I wouldn't want to kick them when they already feel left out. I just wanted you to see a different perspective. Disney is amazing! Here's to many fun future adventures!
