Not a cruise for adults only

Review for a Bahamas Cruise on Disney Wish

The Disney Wish is beautiful. The artwork, decor and styling was typical Disney to set a theme. Took a tour of the ship to appreciate the details they included. If you have children who enjoy Disney characters and movies, they would love the number of character meet and greets and separate areas just for kids. As to adults, the ship has challenges. They have multiple bars tucked in various corners ...

This was our 11th Disney cruise and first on the Wish, and it will be our last. The ship's design is so awkward with smaller general areas and more crowding when people gather. The elevator situation was horrendous with only fore and aft elevators and only 2 elevators which went all the way up to Decks 12&13. Too many stairs for my mobility impaired husband and the only option was to take ...

This was a first Disney cruise experience for our family. We showed up with unrivaled excitement and it was not spoiled. The ship was spectacular with Mickey details from bow to tail. We had a veranda room and the floor plan was great for a family of 5 (mom, dad, and 3 littles - 7, 7, and 5). We really liked the drop down bunk bed and Murphy bed for the kids. The berthing was incredibly quite at ...

We chose this ship because our grandkids wanted to do the new Wish. We also enjoy sailing the newer ships so we didn't hesitate. The very cartoonish decor was not our cup of tea but whatever, it's all about the kids anyway. Having been on the Dream before we were amazed to find crowd flow problems. The buffet was so closed in you couldn't hardly move due to narrow pathways. The same applied to ...

I’m platinum on Carnival and have sailed RC, Celebrity, and others that no longer exist, so I was really excited to try Disney. I’ve always heard that Disney cruises are first class all the way with fabulous food and service, and with what I paid for a 4 day cruise, I thought SURELY it will be amazing!!! Wow, was I ever disappointed. We noticed immediately, it’s mostly families with young ...

My husband and I are retired and would not typically choose a Disney Cruise for ourselves, but we were treating our daughter and 9-year old grandson to a vacation. The Disney Wish is a beautiful ship. We had adjoining verandah staterooms. We loved the separate shower and toilet baths and all the storage. The AC in did not work as well as in we noticed. We slept without a cover or just the ...

I was on the Disney wish May 2023. This was my third Disney cruise. I’ve done one on the Dream , the Magic and now on the Wish. I have to say that I like this one the least. I did not like the dining room themes it wasn’t great food or enjoyable dining . The Disney theme dinning rooms were no as special as the other Disney, cruises. The market place, which was the daytime Buffet was ...

We were excited to book on the Disney Wish and hoped it would be like our other experiences on Disney's other ships, we were overall pretty disappointed. We were a party of 6 adults and 4 kids ages 3-6 and are admitted Disney enthusiasts. Embarkation was slow and there really isn't much for kids to do in the cruise terminal. Once on board the Grand Hall was nice but seemed a little plastic, ...

The Disney Wish is artistically beautiful, but functionally flawed. We left this vacation unhappy. My wife and I have four daughters and we have done many Disney trips and several Disney cruises before, as well as some cruises on other cruise lines. Even though the Wish is really expensive and only does short cruises, which are both painful things, I bought into the marketing about how ...

Being a fan of many things Disney, I was eager to sail on their newest ship, The Wish. I knew someone who had sailed on it last Fall and they spoke of the excellence of Arendale and the beauty of the artwork on the ship. Well, that's about it. I have been on 5 other Disney Cruises and this was this was the sixth and most underwhelming of them all. The ship is poorly designed, there are only ...
