Review summary

Overall we had a nice time. It is a great cruise for kids. Customer service is amazing. We felt it lacks adult activities on-board and the bars very quiet in the evenings. Since my kids are older, we would go on one of the other cruise lines as the extra price paid to go on Disney not worth it to us.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Staff very friendly and organized. Not a lot of places to sit and area was very crowded while waiting to embark.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The food was very good in the main dining rooms. We liked that we rotated dining room s and the staff went with us, so we had the same waiters the entire cruise. It was great because they new all our nuances and we didn't have to start over each night. The food was very tasty and of good quality. We did not feel there was any need to eat in a specialty restaurant like we do on other cruise lines. We ate at the buffet for breakfast and lunch and was the typical cruise buffet, nice variety and was clean.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
I give it a 3 as an adult. Of course since Disney a ton of stuff for the kids. We found activities for adults limited and not a lot going on concurrently.

Entertainment

2 out of 5
This was the shocker for us. Being on Disney we were expected to be blown away by the entertainment and were extremely disappointed. The comic/magician was terrible, you could see how his tricks worked. The production shows were very poor and hokey stories and the cast was mediocre. Some of our group actually walked out.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
Lot's of great activities, character meets. Staff was amazing.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
No question Disney excels in customer service.The staff was very friendly, helpful, and willing to go out of their way to satisfy the passengers.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Clean, easy to navigate.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
This was an over-sized inside cabin. We found it comfortable and having a virtual portal really helped. There is very limited storage space, making it difficult for 3 of us to unpack everything. This room is forward so very quiet area.

Ports of call

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
We went horseback riding,. Was a great ride that lasted over an hour. We had a bit of freedom to ride at different speeds making it fun.

Falmouth, Jamaica

4 out of 5
We did a zip-line/river float trip.It was nice but have experienced better in other ports. Staff very friendly and facilities were in great shape.

Castaway Cay (Disney Private Island)

4 out of 5
Just layed at the beach,was relaxing.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We walked of with our luggage, very smooth and efficient.
