After many years we took the family on a Disney Cruise and current will be the first and last one taken. I do not understand the hype and blind following DCL has. We are fans of the parks and hotels, annual pass holders, but it seems like the Cruise Line just does not have the same standards as the parks.
While the ship is nice enough, the layout leave a lot to be desired. To start the main ...
I have never posted before. We just completed our 6th Disney cruise, and our 19th cruise overall.
The Disney Fantasy has experienced consistent "technical" problems since it was damaged during Hurricane Sandy. These problems continue to plague the ship. Again, on the January 18-25 sailing of the Fantasy, technical problems were experienced which significantly impacted the enjoyment of the ...
Spoiler Alert for Kids and Adults who "Believe" or Want To
About me: 60ish great aunt of these sailing kids, my 11th cruise, first and last on Disney
Who Sailed: Extended family of 8, 6 adults and 2 children, including a 5 year old who turned 6 on the cruise, in 3 balcony cabins booked a year before sailing.
Biggest Disappointments: Guest Services Handling of Gifts and Amenities (NOT our ...
Planned and looked forward to this once a year itinerary for well over a year, sorry Disney but because of this poorly executed sailing we are trying another cruise line; just cancelled our B2B in 2020 and booked with RC. This 11 day sailing was fraught with sub par entertainment at best, even the Aladdin musical was reportedly an understudy who could not sing! The movies were the same repeated ...
I chose this cruise because I was booking last minute and ended up settling on this. I had decided that my budget could afford this cruise. But the things that were added cost me almost double what I originally paid. I had no knowledge that another closet to 3 thousand dollars would be added on top of the cruise cost. The thing that stood out to me was the cost of the wi-fi. If I had decided that ...
We booked this cruise solely based on the fact that they dress up their private island for Christmas as well as the cruise ship. We were so disappointed and the cruise for the most part was then no different than any other cruiseline. Disney doesn't even offer you a credit towards another cruise to make up for it. Then when we got back I heard this happens quite often which is very upsetting. The ...
We have been on many cruises but this one had a lot to complain about:
No free desserts in the evening - you need to pay extra (and not cheap)
Limited variety of food offered at dinner
Food quality below other cruise standards
No pool for adults to swim - just a wading pool
Limited activities for children not yet out of diapers
Entertainment geared strictly for young kids (over ...
Second cruise with Disney. First was 20 years ago. Concierge cabin (part of my group booked concierge level), perhaps the only extra that was worth the extra price.
The internet charges are exorbitant. Why Disney has chosen to make this a profit center is beyond me. Many I spoke to when the cruise ended were paying over $800 extra for internet service. Why can't they at least offer a ...
We choose Disney because we had heard so many good things about it. My husband wanted to surprise me for my birthday.
So, he booked the cruise. Wanting first to experience for ourselves what a lot of people were saying about Disney, and secondly wanting to check it out before possibly taking all of our eight grandchildren.
This is what we encountered....
Upon arriving we went to the ...
This was our 30th cruise and first on Disney. Will never go Disney again. I completely understand that this is mainly for kids (8 and under is probably ideal) and adult care and feeding is secondary.. From an overall cruise experience, RCL, Carnival, and Princess cruise lines offer more variety and choices for daily activities caring for both adults, families, and children. As far as the food ...
