Although we were 60-year-old honeymooners, we enjoyed this 11-day cruise. Lots of Mickey and Donald and emphasis on families with kids, but we knew this going in. We got a LOT of value for our special rate of 999. per person, including cabin upgrade.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
3 out of 5
Food was generally good, and waitstaff was very accommodating when one of us didn't like what was served. Buffet was plentiful, with apparently endless supply of smoked salmon.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
The Broadway-style shows given by their on-board staff were way better than we expected. This was a very talented group. Their imported talent was also good. There was some dead space in terms of attractions for older adults, but this was expected.
Children's Programs
5 out of 5
The kids appeared to be having a terrific time, with Mickey and the gang on board for nearly constant photo ops.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
If Disneyland is the happiest place on earth, their cruise ship is the happiest on the sea.
They really stress friendliness and helpfulness. Examples: Good advice on shore transportation from staffer who checked back with us to see if we were satisfied. We were given a temporary alternative stateroom when our bathroom flooded in the middle of the night. Cabin attendant very personable and helpful, but not intrusive.
Ship Quality
3 out of 5
No complaints here, except that workout area is cramped and probably unsafe.
Cabin / Stateroom
3 out of 5
Our stateroom had double bath--shower in one and john in the other, sinks in both--very convenient. We got more than we paid for.
We were exhausted at this point in the cruise. The train that runs along the coast will take you to all of the towns between Nice and Monaco cheaply and efficiently.
Hey, it's Rome. Again, we recommend the hop-on, hop-off bus. You really can see both the Vatican and Old Rome in a day, and get the train back to Civitavecchia on time. (But
you might not make it inside St. Peters due to long lines.)
We shared a cab out to Pompeii with another couple, and again saved money while still touring Pompeii for 2 hours. If you walk around Naples, get a good map. The streets are mostly unmarked, and it's easy to get lost.
