Review summary

Happy to have cruised with family. Grandkids loved clubs and characters I expected food to be excellent, very disappointing. Onboard shopping was not great, not much Disney Dream merchandise for purchase. Shopping was also limited on Castaway Cay

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

Food was not good for most part in main dining rooms, Cabanas buffet was better overall. For most part, our family tried different options at dinner but none of us thought food was exceptional. They were really good about my grandson’s peanut allergy.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Room attendant was exceptional. Our server was very pushy every night about giving him an excellent rating. He did not receive that rating because of pushiness and giving us a lecture every night.

Castaway Cay (Disney Private Island)

4 out of 5

Beautiful Island. Buffet at Cookes BBQ was excellent. Nice beach area that is protected from rough seas. We had booked Stingray excursion but was partly canceled due to weather. We were allowed to snorkel but not feed rays. Water was rough from waves and wind so not a great time for inexperienced snorkeling
