Review summary

I sailed on The Oceanic in December, 1988 with 2 children before Disney had an official cruise line. At that time it was Premier’s Oceanic with Mickey Mouse and his original pals aboard. We were on for 4 nights and sailed to the Bahamas. I had to fudge on the ship name and sail date so I could leave the review!

The kids loved this beach and had loads of fun. We were coming from the cold in Ohio and a cold snap in the Orlando area.

I have no idea if it was called the big red boat! That was back in 1989 when I had 2 preschoolers to attend to by myself.

No Csp (unless it changed) I cruised on the Big Red Boat in August 1996 and they had the Looney Tunes characters aboard. It was a 3 night cruise out of Port Canaveral and we stoppped in Freeport and their private island in the Bahamas. That was my first cruise and I was hooked ever since then.
