Review summary

Overall was good and ship was beautiful.  If you sailed Disney before and you have young children you may be disappointed.  Not as kid friendly.  Kids club does not stay open all day.  You also have to pay after 10p.m.  and this is when most of the adult activities begin.

 

Also, if you are not a gold member please know if you get to the cruise early for departure, you will have to wait quite a long time until all the gold members get on the ship.  I assume these are repeat clients.  But not a good experience for excited first timers.

"My time Dining" is a good option if you don't want to have to commit to the same time for dinner every night.

I'm with ya @Zaherej first time on a rc cruise with the kids coming from a disney cruise last year. Hope they are not disappointed on not having a slide this time around.

They really are twice as expensive but they do everything first class. Trying our first RC cruise in a week with our 3 kids. We expect to have a great time.

Disney is also twice as expensive for a shorter cruise.

That should be assumed right...Disney caters to kids!
