Trip was designed to fill the square for taking kids to Disney World and Cruise. Square filled, doubt if we will return. Long lines at Disney World and poor entertainment scope on Disney Wish ruined any desire for a future trip with Disney
Embarkation

Would give it 5 stars; however, we spent an hour in the car waiting to park due to long line to access the garage/ drop off zone

Entertainment was good for the kids. Food and service average with other cruise lines.

Small pools closed most of time due to weather. Water slides closed due to weather. Kids area was okay but not special compared to other cruise lines. Kids enjoyed movie theaters.
Gym and spa were small. Fortunately, they were not crowded.
Evening shows in main theatre were excellent. Other evening entertainment for adults was lacking.

Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Disney Wish is a beautiful ship that is let down by senior management. They have designed the ship for a small segment of cruisers. If you have daughters that are 10 and younger, ship was awesome.
Unfortunately, my three kids (10 and 14 year old boys, 18 year old daughter) were bored!!! It is sad when the only place they enjoyed was the movie theaters.
Was supposed to be Merry Christmas cruise, only Christmas/Holiday decorations were in the atrium.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Excellent cleanliness and service.
Bathrooms are small
Ship tip
If you have boys or older children, choose another cruise line.
I would give cruising a second chance, even if it’s not with Disney. Luckily, for us cruising wasn’t, but I felt the same going on the Wish. Had it been our first cruise, I’d probably never cruise again. However, the Wish is not the norm, especially on these short itineraries. Try Royal Caribbean on one of the newer ships with a longer itinerary, I’m sure your kids will enjoy that more!
Your comments are so helpful. My husband and I went on the Disney Dream 5 years ago before our daughter was born and felt bored a lot of the time on that cruise. We didn’t feel it was worth the money compared to other cruise lines for it being just us. We have a 4 y/o daughter now and are going on the Wish in October. Glad to hear this ship is good for young girls!
