Review summary

Overall a good experience for a first time cruiser. I would definitely try some other cruise before coming to a conclusion about the offering from Disney. The biggest disappointing thing was the options of food for the vegetarians, which were very few to say the least. Castaway Cay Island was a good experience and I would like to do similar in the future as well. Overall satisfied with the whole package, though with the amount of money spent I would say in the end I was left wanting a little.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Overall it was good, the wait times were a little more than what I would have preferred but otherwise things were ordered and managed well.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The overall experience was fine. The main issue of contention for me was the lack of options for the vegetarian and vegan people. The onboard menu was very limited and mainly focused towards the north american cuisine. There were very few options for the vegetarians on the menu and many of them were repetitive over the course of the cruise. You would expect a cruise experience with Disney would cater to the wider audience with variety of cuisines, which was not the case at all.

Onboard Activities

They were pretty fine I would say. The activities were planned well and there was things to do for everyone.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

The service was definitely the highlight of the trip. EVeryone was very helpful and though we had issues with the options for the food, the team at the restaurants tried thier best to help out and provide some options.
