Disney Wonder

Pros: Food is always available
Cons: Ice cream is yucky soft serve

I have posted the menus for the three main restaurants on the Wonder on my website at www.disneycruiser.com and I plan to do a review of them as well. But frequently on message boards I see questions about the snacking opportunities. People want to know,...

Pros: Great first-time cruise experience, great for Disney fanatics
Cons: Lots of kids, limited smoking, no gambling

Disney Cruise Line has been sailing since August of 1998, but I still talk to many people who confuse it with the Big Red Boat (Disney characters used to appear on that Premier ship, although now it's the Loony Tunes gang).

Despite that...

Pros: Something for everyone
Cons: Not as much to do for 18-20 age group

Last summer my husband's parents took the entire family on a Disney Cruise to celebrate the 50th wedding anniversary of my husband's Grandparents. There were 2 elderly people, 14 adults, 3 teens, and 5 kids (2 of the kids were 18 months) and the whole ...

Pros: Lots to do
Cons: Can be hard to find it all

The Wonder is a BIG ship...it may not be as large as Royal Caribbean's mega-vessels, Voyager and Explorer, but it can still be confusing (and even intimidating) when you first board.

After 13 cruises on Disney's ships, I know my way around...

Pros: Lots of fun and pictures with the Disney Characters
Cons: The professional pictures are expensive

We had the best time. Myself, my husband, my three year old and 21 month old went on the four day cruise.

You can do as much or as little as you desire. They have wonderful programs for all ages of kids. They also offer a wide variety of...

Pros: Outside view for an inside price
Cons: Far forward, can be noisy

One of the best-kept secrets on the Disney Wonder are the "secret porthole" rooms. These six rooms on Deck 5 are sold as Category 10 inside staterooms. However, they have obstructed view portholes, giving you a nice little window on the world...

Pros: Beautiful Ship, Great Kids Programs, Large Staterooms, Fantastic Verandah's.
Cons: Lenient Smoking Policy, So-So Food, Minimal Deck Seating.

We cruised on the Wonder last November. There were 4 of us in 1 category 5 stateroom, 3 adults and 1 child. Our category 5 stateroom had a queen size bed, couch bed and a pull down bed. Thanks to the verandah we never felt crowded!

The...

Pros: Good food, friendly people, nice accommodations, beautiful islands
Cons: None!

My family and I had been wanting to go on one last Disney trip before my brother and I got too old to enjoy the fun and excitement of Disney World. My father likes to relax and tan all day, along with me, my mother wanted to try a cruise for her...

Pros: ample activities, large cabin, good service
Cons: snorkel gear cost, no midnight buffet or casino

I went on this cruise with my husband and two boys, ages 8 and 10. We went in the first week of December with the 4-day land and 3 day sea package. After spending 4 days at various Disney parks we went on the cruise. Our hotel room card key was the same...

Pros: Castaway Cay
Cons: To much walking in theme parks

My family of four recently returned from a Disneyworld package that included 4 days at Disneyworld and a 3 day Disney Cruise. We added on a couple of extra days and spent two days at Universal Studios and their new theme park Islands of Adventure. My...

Pros: Wonderful crew, great food and entertainment. Kids and parents had a blast!
Cons: Long lines when waiting to get pictures with character. No chairs at kid pools.

We went on Feb. 26, 2005.It was our first cruise and now we are hooked. The ship is so clean, even though i took along a tub of wipes,it was not necessary. Our room was on deck 2 forward. We got a room with a porthole window. I first got an inside ...

Pros: As good as ever.
Cons: 3-day cruise goes by way too fast.

It seems like an eternity, but it was only a couple years ago that my husband refused to try cruising because he said "It will be boring." Now, 13 Disney cruises later, with 4 more already booked, you can tell that there was no lack of...

Pros: Loved every minute of the trip
Cons: Went by too fast

We cruised on the Disney Magic in Sept 99. Inside cabin deck 5. The weather was beautiful. The ship magnificent, service outstanding, Meals were very good, except I was disappointed in Palo's. The only fault I found was the seats in the movie theater...

Pros: You can charge the tips on your credit card
Cons: Line can be long

I run an unofficial Disney Cruise Line website and frequent several related message boards, and some of the most frequently asked questions involve tipping. Who do you tip? How much should you give? When do you give it? These are just a few of the things...

Pros: Family Oriented
Cons: Ports of Call

We sailed aboard the Disney Wonder on June 8 th, 2000. Most of the comments we had heard regarding cruises was about the wonderful food and the entertainment aboard ship. We are fairly snobby eaters and active travelers so the idea of cruising wasn’t...
