Pool area was always clean and we were greeted warmly at all times.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Toy Story 4 movie premier was fabulous! Also, tons of meet and greets with all the Disney characters in many different outfits. The hypnotist was quite good, and kept the crowd roaring with the volunteer’s antics.

Children's Programs

Did not bring children

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Everyone on board was terrific, from day 1 to day 7. So helpful and friendly - we wished we lived aboard the Disney Wonder!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

We loved the styling of the accoutrements, from the lighting fixtures to the carpeting to the products in the bathroom. All areas were constantly kept clean and neat.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Was very worried about getting an ocean view cabin, since we have always gotten verandas in the past. This room did not disappoint! The porthole window was huge and we loved seeing the sun come up over the mountains in the mornings. Not only was the porthole huge, but the room itself was much bigger than other cruiselines we’ve been on. The double bathroom was great too!

Ship tip

Since we are adults, we did not care about the meet and greet photo ops with all the characters. Boy, we’re we wrong! We had a blast going from one photo op to another. Got tons of pictures of us with Mickey, Minnie and all the rest. What a great sea day!

Came in 4 days early and did a city of Vancouver with Capilano bridge tour. Also did the Forgotten Souls of Gastown tour. Then did a Victoria and Butchart Gardens tour. Had the best time in Vancouver!

Took the excursion out to the glacier. Saw a mother bear with her 2 cub walking up the side of a mountain! Saw humpback whales and seals. Captain of the boat constantly spun the vessel slowly so everyone had a chance to see everything.

We took a helicopter onto a glacier and went dogsledding. After we got to hold the 6 week old puppies. Then we went to another part of the glacier where no one was and walked around. There was just 5 of us. We felt like we were walking on the moon.

We did the snorkeling tour with Mountain Point Snorkeling Adventure. Being from FL, we were a bit apprehensive about being in cold water, but the 7mm wetsuit, boots, hood and gloves were more than enough. We were so comfortable, we could have stayed in the water longer! Walked right in from the beach and the guides showed us sea cucumbers, sea urchins, sea stars, etc. Everyone got a chance to hold everything. It was a wonderful experience and we’re so glad we did it!
