Review summary

Not much to do for older children on the cruise ship.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
It would’ve been better if part of the safety briefing can be completed online prior to boarding. The video was hard to see since 250 ppl were crammed in a space and the tv view was blocked

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Food at The buffet is better than main dining. However, the shows at main dining make up for that. The gnocchi appetizer at Avengers are to die for !!!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Pools are small and did not accommodate adults unless adults went to the adults only section. Fitness center was best to visit in the afternoon and had endless options of machines and cardio equipment. I like that classes were offered at no additional charge. Staff at kids clubs were very friendly except Sam at EDGE. He needs to go!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
I absolutely loved the Aladdin show. They had fireworks on stage. That was awesome! Performances at dinner were pretty amazing. The staff are all so talented.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
My 6 yo and 11 yo made new friends their own age on the cruise ship thanks to the kids clubs! This really helped my children overcome shyness and social anxiety

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Our room steward made the cutest octopus I ever seen. I love that he used my sunglasses on the animals to add that personal touch. It made me feel special and my kids had a good laugh

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship was immaculate! The bathrooms and water slides on Disney’s private island need better attention. The pools closed often for cleaning/maintenance, floors were vacuumed every night and food was cleared from trash receptacles quite often. There was never a pile up of trash anywhere!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It was bigger than I expected. It had a mid size tub. That’s better than a half bathroom on Royal Carribean. I just wished the bed linen were changed daily.

Ship tip

Call prior to your sailing date to know what daily themes are. Costumes are very pricey on board and you don’t want to be left out. I also recommend bringing sealed/unopened bottles of water because it’s only offered at dinner. The drink packages only includes 6pk beer with a Disney tote. Very overpriced and only offered on the 1st day of the cruise. Feel free to bring two bottles of wine but be prepared to pay $28 corking fee even if your wine bottle does not have a cork

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

Local souvenir shops are worth the money.
Thumbs Up

Nassau, Bahamas

Getting on and off at the Nassau port was extremely crowded and unorganized. The Locals will aggressively try to con you into buying something you don’t need. Beware!

Castaway Cay (Disney Private Island)

4 out of 5
Beautiful island. I wish there was more to do and include a water park or rides. The island is too big to only have two water slides for the kids. The staff near the cabanas are not friendly to kids at all. They are very rude. There should be a bathroom or port-a-potty on the bike trail. The overlook tower have loose bolts and did not feel sturdy enough to hold the weight of visitors. It rocks and sways from side to side on the second landing which persuaded me from climbing to the top.

Disembarkation

This was a nightmare. Lines were unorganized. It would be easier if groups were called at different times to avoid over crowding exits.
