Review summary

Overall, we had a great time and will likely consider Disney again for a family cruise. The kids loved the characters. The service and cleanliness were very impressive. We truly missed the calypso music at the pool that we were accustomed to from other ships (Royal and Carnival). Even an hour or two a day with music at the pool would be a nice break from 24/7 Disney movies.

The movies all day and night at the pool are overkill. Disney could mix it up with live music a couple of hours by the pool each day to provide a fun experience for adults and children. Kids enjoy dancing as much as they enjoy watching movies.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Need more entertainment during the day by the pool. The three disney stage shows were awesome. The first night's sail away show was a dud. Very disappointing.

Falmouth is a huge disappointment. It takes an hour one way on a bus for any shore excursions. That is too long for families with young children.

Just curious - did your children complain about 24/7 Disney movies? I know my would not. That said, glad you overall had a great family cruise. Disney is perfect for families. If you want, you should take an adult cruise on a different line for your Calypso music. Just saying.
