Disney Wonder Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Love Disney cruises, very clean cabins, great food, staff is friendly, and very helpful. I am booking another Disney Cruise for next year.

Excellent, the staff were friendly and helpful. They really cared a LOT such as changing the route to make sure we don’t go straight through a hurricane.

This was our first cruise, we took the entire family (all 7 us us, includes 2 adult kids, a son & daughter-in-law and a 5 year old granddaughter) and we all had a wonderful cruise experience on the Disney Wonder. Our timing was not so good, as we had to re-route behind Hurricane Rosa, and the waters were really rocky for our 1st 3 days.

Disney Wonder food, staff, ship, entertainment, services, shows were amazing! My 61 yr old husband doesn’t like crowds but he never once complained; he and I (54 yrs) thoroughly loved our Disney cruise! It would be so awesome if every child (young or young-at-heart) could experience Disney Cruise once in their life time!

Quick 5 day cruise. Port in Cabo was nice, Ensenada we didn't even get off the ship.

The service was amazing! My son has multiple food allergies and they made fresh meals for breakfast lunch and dinner every day! I have already booked the next one!

I do not feel safe due to an incident happened to my child. She’s got a black eye from bumping her face on the glass (one that has metal) on top of the food at Cabana’s buffet. This was our first family cruise and it was stressful for a mom like me after all the inconvinience.

As always, Disney sets the bar so incredibly high for entertainment, enjoyment, quality, and ESPECIALLY service and that "extra mile". Disney goes about seven "extra miles". I would be willing to try other cruise lines but I will always go back to Disney. Simply. The. BEST.

this was a great repositioning cruise that allowed us to truly enjoy the ship. Our whole focus was to stay on the ship and she did not disappoint. There were numerous activities to keep us occupied and plenty of time to relax by the pool and in the spa.

Small ship and outdated was expecting more for the price we pay. Food was okay but not great. Buffet was good especially for breakfast and lines were not big but at the restaurants food was average only with similar choices every day. Shows on the other hand were amazing just wish they had a different one every day instead of just 3 in the whole week! Bibidi boutique is expensive but a must for the kiddos: amazing makeover for a lifetime memory!

As the title says it is a Disney cruise and it is Alaska. For us it was too cold to make use of the pools on deck but plenty of people were. Otherwise everything onboard is really good: current Disney movies to watch and great shows. Bring photo gear and good binoculars.

Very pleased with this cruise considering I have been an anti-cruise person. I believe Disney is the difference and the value is there for the extra money. Alaska is a sensible cruise destination given logistics in the state. This trip had spectacular scenery with a variety of diverse experiences at each port of call. The Disney difference was in the superior service and cleanliness of the ship in addition to the activities/entertainment - while targeted for kids something for everyone and places for adults to take refuge. Highly recommend and worth paying up for balcony given diverse and dynamic views. I did book several excursions separately - in general 2/3 were same outfit Disney used at lower prices. Some prefer the security or convenience booking through Disney offers but do not think it is requisite.

Amazing experience with Disney Wonder Cruise to Alaska

Twelve family members in this cruise. Four kids experienced Oceanears. Absolutely loved it. We would try to get them to join us in the evening...they just wanted to enjoy the club. All the entertainment was fantastic. Our wait staff was beyond our expectations...during each dinner the wait staff would perform magic for our youngsters. We were all engaged and loved them. Food was great. We experienced snorkeling, horseback riding, the duck tour, panning for gold, zip lining, Mendenhall Glacier and the falls. Lots of trivia onboard, family dancing, quiet time for a cocktail, ...really there was no down side. We had family members: two seniors, four in their 40s, 18, 17, 12, 9, 7, 6 year olds. As our 7 year old grandson told someone when asked about his Alaska vacation, he said, “It was the best thing that has ever happened to me.”

Everything was perfectly detailed and executed in Disney fashion, except perhaps the weather. Even so, it was a magnificent cruise! Accommodations, food, service, and entertainment were perfect!

We booked the first cruise of Disneys Alaska season 2018; we had wind, fog, cold and rain every day: OUR MISTAKE. Disney Wonder had one of two grand staircases removed from the Atrium while in dry dock; making the ship less elegant than it was. We will definitely sail again with Disney, but the Wonder will not be a choice.

the only port we were not impressed with was Juneau. Unless you booked an outrageously priced excursion the shopping was very dismal. The only issue we had was location of our cabin. right below Tiana's restaurant. and at midnight all you hear is tables being moved. Mistake on our part not realizing what was above us. Cabin Attendant Alex was amazing.

This is the perfect way to travel with kids. We were able to take the kids to the Oceaneer Club so we could have 'date' night on the ship. It was the first time in years that we could have a nice dinner with the kids; the staff was so good at entertaining them so they didn't get bored. I would highly recommend a Disney cruise for families with children! The shows were awesome and a hit with everyone in our family. We even got to 'sneak' in a movie!

This is my first Disney Cruise. I have been on Carnival and Royal Caribbean cruise lines. This is the Mercedes Benz of cruise lines. Every staff person is wonderful. Disney aims to please the whole family. I have already plan to go back in September. This was a 2 day cruise and was action packed with time to chill too. You won’t regret going.

Hey cruisers! Whether you love Disney or you love cruising, you will love this ship. And you don’t have to have kids or sail with kids to enjoy Disney Cruise Line. Ok so after cruising on the Dream 4 times out of port Canaveral, we decided to try the Wonder for a 2 night sailing out of San Diego which is in our backyard. Being a little skeptical as the Wonder is a smaller ship than the Dream and older too, We LOVED this cruise. From the breathtaking chandelier in the atrium, to the feels of New Orleans at Tianas Place Restaurant, to the amazing Broadway caliber shows, the fireworks at sea for Pirates in the Caribbean night, to having Mickey show up at dinner in Animators Palate Restaurant and the Adult Only Pool and spas that are pure bliss, this 2 night cruise packed a punch of surprises and delight for us adults. We sailed to celebrate Mother’s Day with myself(37), my mom(57) and grams(81) so NO KIDS. This is our 3rd Disney sailing without kids. 5th total with 2 sailings including kids. Let me say that Disney truly delivers an exceptional experience for adults, catering to the details and ensuring you get to totally escape for the precious time you have in the Adults only Area whether it’s a couple hours or a couple days(in our case). The cabins our well layed out with plenty of storage, most having 2 bathrooms(1 with sink & bathtub & 1 with sink and toilet) and the bedroom can be separated from the living room by a privacy curtain which is really nice. They offer portable phones in every cabin so you can keep in touch with your family while cruising at no charge. There is the Walt Disney Theatre that shows first run movies, we saw the Avengers Age of Ultron in 3D onboard which was opening wknd for this blockbuster movie on land. They include soda onboard at no additional charge unless you order through room service(then a charge applies). The bars are plentiful and serve up delicious cocktails at a very reasonable price. On a budget, don’t worry Disney allows you to carry on a 6 pack of beer or a bottle of wine or champagne per adult, over 21, sailing. I highly recommend the espresso martini or a glass of Chandon ice. Delicious! They also serve up the famous Dole Whip(frozen pineapple soft serve that is served at all Disney parks) you can score this delicious treat by itself or spiced up as a cocktail with rum or spirits. Also one of our favorite room service items to order and a MUST on any sailing, are the cheese & fruit plate and the Mickey ice cream bars. Treat your self. You will not be disappointed. The decor is very upscale and I would describe it as nautical nostalgic with a vibe of cruising when sailing the seas was glamorous and for the ultra elite. The Adult only pool and spa provided much relaxation and you must be 18 or over to enjoy. There are 2 hot tubs that sit elevated on each side of the pool, a bar, showers and plenty of lux lounge chairs and seating for those looking to just chill. They have great drink service as well. The shows were AMAZING and yes they are Disney themed but the special effects, singing, acting and stage sets are so spectacular that EVERYONE will enjoy. The dining is so unique, in that you get to dine in a different restaurant each night but your wait staff travels with you. This creates a very personalized experience with your waiters greeting you each night in a different setting but still knowing exactly what your preferences are. The food on this ship was exceptional and everything was cooked and served exactly as ordered. Service was great and fun! The waiters dress in different themed outfits each night to match the restaurant you’re dining in and the food is themed as well. Tianas Place for example serves NOLA themed buttermilk beignets for dessert. At dinner in animators palate, all the screens come to life with Disney animation and Mickey shows up to take control and direct the animation. In Tianas Place there is a live jazz band with Tiana singing and dancing and leading a good ole na’leans parade. Tritons place is a more formal feel, catering to royals alike. Disney is the ONLY cruise line that does fireworks at sea and this is NOT to be missed. Disney will provide you a pirate themed bandanna to don for this deck party spectacular but you will also see fellow cruises dressed in pirate garb. Mickey ultimately wins but only after ziplining down to take back the ship from Captain Hook. Fireworks explode over the dark skies, lighting it up with colorful displays inciting oohhhs and aahhhs from all hands on deck. The food options for breakfast and lunch are plentiful with room service timed to your liking, buffet with fresh, made to order options, a deli, pizza, a Mediterranean station, ice cream a plenty, burgers and dogs and fresh fruits and salads. You will not go hungry on this ship. There is also the Cove Cafe which is a coffee shop/ wine bar / bar that is in the Adult only area. This place serves light fare all day long but also brews up some very unique coffee and espresso concoctions. They offer a nice quiet seating area with magazines and a lot of Disney memorabilia. This ship is very easy to navigate and even though it’s smaller than the Dream which we’d previously sailed on, we never felt that it was smaller or lacked any convenience or offering of the bigger ships. Except however in the area of the Spa, this was the only disappointment of the cruise. We always get spa passes to the rainforest when sailing with Disney but the spa on this ship pales in comparison to the Dream. Don’t waste your money on the day passes. The rainforest themed showers are cold, the heated lounge chairs are always in use or have dirty towels occupying them. The quiet area and dry sauna in the woman’s locker room is perfectly positioned under the basketball courts on the deck above which offers NO Zen. We expressed our disappointment to the manager of the spa but were only met with a “thanks for sharing your experience and we appreciate your feedback” response. Unfortunately For gamblers, there is NO CASINO onboard which I understand is a drawback but with s the entertainment and adult only areas, you don’t even realize it’s missing and trust me a black jack lover. The AFTER-HOURS section of the ship is an ADULT ONLY AREA offering a British themed crown n fin pub, a Cadillac inspired and themed lounge and piano bar and a nightclub that also showcases comedians, singers, bands and illusionists. All in all this was a great getaway cruise that allowed us to experience a new ship and celebrate some much needed adult only time. We tried our best to sleep as little as possible and pack everything into this 2 night sailing. We disembarked this ship refreshed and ready to book the Wonder again. Tip-Disney offers one of the best return cruising offers at sea. $250 future cruise deposit to be used within 2 years of your sailing, securing you 10% off rates with an onboard credit of at least $100 on 3 night or more sailing. Needless to say we are already booked for May 12th 2019. I would recommend this cruise to EVERYONE-all ages, families, couples, girls only trip, seniors, disabled and the young at heart, especially first time cruisers. This is not the newest and biggest ship but it delivers a great cruise that will leave you wanting more and ready to book again. Yes Disney is more expensive than all the other cruise lines but I promise that once you cruise with them, you will understand why. They just deliver the most exceptional, consistent and memorable experience on the high seas. It’s that Disney Magic or maybe it’s the pixie dust. Either way I’m sold and will continue to sail this line for a guaranteed magical cruise experience that truly feels like a dream come true. With some wishing on a star and if you can sail on off peak times, you can sail on this line for a reasonable price.
