Review summary

Your advertisement was a miss lead as the advertisement/s were much better that the actual cruise. There were so many issues I don't know where to begin. Pools are very very small, my kids did not enjoy the crowded pools. The food was not good in the Cabanas Restaurant. Esp. breakfast food. The other restaurants it was OK. The hamburgers that were served around the pool were cold every time I had one. The weather was too ruff to enter the key west and for everyone's safety the ship could not pull into port. I could understand that but their was no refund offered and no additional entertainment offered. Very boring day was had out to sea.  Castaway Cay was over rated to what it really was. Over all I would never do a Disney Cruise again.

What a dirty place to visit... Nothing is repaired and it looks very scary. I would not recommend taking children here.

Key West, Florida

1 out of 5
Due to weather we could not go hear. So spent a very boring day aboard the ship.

I am very sorry for your experience. You know, cruises are not always perfect. Plus, the weather is not disneys fault. Anyway, have a good day!

Weather is not their fault. Cold food is your fault for not asking for something else. I take my kid to the pool at off times when he is in it alone, so should have gone at different timesIt's awesome! Dis is amazing and have tons of activities on the ship. There is no time for boredom. Shows, movies, pools, activities, food, photo opps, bingo, spa, salon, exercise, bars, shopping, family, FUN

People have different experiences and each cruise is different. Disney is over rated because of it's name and double the price. I don't want to eat cold food either. Would you? I don't think so. No cruise is perfect, so we have to make the best of it. As far as food goes, you can ask for another that is hot.
