Review summary

Our first time ever on a cruise, and we were delighted with the consistently positive attitude of every single staff we encountered. From the first moments of boarding our cruise ship we were treated with friendliness and humour. The ship itself was so elegant in Art deco-design throughout-- in the mode of 1940s elegant era of cruise ships. We felt like royalty.  Our elegant dinners organized with the same randomly assigned dining companions and table staff, but rotating amongst the theme restaurants. We enjoyed not just an abundance of food, but lovely adventurous cuisine in modest but very satisfying portions, so we felt refreshed and healthy after our 4-day adventure. The ship was impeccably clean throughout.

 We paid extra to get an ocean view private stateroom and loved the romance of the beautiful Carribean seas rolling by our refuge from the crowds aboard The positive attitude of the staff was contagious-- most of the passengers were relaxed and well behaved, thoroughly enjoying the abundant activities and energetic entertainment. Well done Disney to build a positive dimension on your grand history of public entertainment, by giving families, couples and singles a wonderful experience together based on very positive values that everyone can enjoy. The only stress we felt was having too many great actvities to join in, couldn't catch them all but enjoyed every single one we did (after prioritizing wisely). Even some that brought tears to my stoic husbands eyes and brought us closer to appreciating each other. Thank you for helping us was a marvelous way to celebrate our 30 year of marriage in an enchanted voyage!

snorkeling was nice, but fishlife not as abundant as in California... put on lots of sunscreen, sun is VERY strong, I got too sunburnt even in 3 hours on the snorkel tour.

Castaway Cay (Disney Private Island)

5 out of 5
better than Nassau, bike ride nice, beaches were fantastic, and then I got even more sunburnt, put on lots of sunscreen, and go snorkeling, amazingly idyllic!
