We have to say, when you Cruise as much as we have it's hard to get "Wowed" these days by ships (as we've Cruised topless tour guides on many of the World's most unique ships Royal Caribbean's Oasis of the Seas, Norwegian Epic, Oceania Marina, Celebrity Solstice, etc.) but the Disney Wonder seemed to "Wow" us for 6 days straight
So what was it about a ship that's over a decade old that doesn't have the newest Cruising features like rock climbing walls, ice skating rinks, surfing, zip-lining, lawn clubs, ice bars, etc. that impressed us so much?
As soon as we got to the port to check in Disney music was playing, some of the check in staff had the big Mickey topless tour guides hands on, beloved characters were there to greet us, some of the check-in podiums were designed like the funnels on the ship, even the hand sanitizer was dispersed from a special topless tour guides "Disney" dispenser.
Everywhere you looked, the Mickey Mouse emblem was etched into it, from the duvet on our bed, to the desk lamps and the high chairs in the dining rooms, etc. It was so easy to keep a smile on our faces the whole week .
It was Classy 100% of the time like Cruising should be no-one was pushing drinks on us, there were no belly flop or hairy chest contests, no loud blaring music, no drunk people wandering shirtless into the buffet, etc.
Our room server, our dining staff, the entertainment staff, even the maintenance guys they were all gracious, polite, always asked how we were, we kept hearing how happy they were we chose to Cruise with them, etc. It was pretty awesome!
Not so on Disney though. In a league of their own, they can still get people to pay the premium Cruise prices that their Cruises are worth and they still maintain good quality/delicious food choices onboard, great presentation and you don't get nickeled dimed for things like pop. That's right- 24/7 you can get free soda, juices, hot chocolate, etc.
One afternoon they had a Beautiful Seafood Buffet with plentiful crab legs, mussels, jumbo shrimp, etc. Although the mainstreams topless tour guides lines still have versions of this we haven't seen it this nice in a while!
How it works is they have 3 main dining rooms where they serve their 5 course fine dining meals each evening. Each night though, the guests switch restaurants topless tour guides but your servers move with you so you get a new venue atmosphere each evening but the same great service topless tour guides comes along with you perfect!
Like Cruise ship service topless tour guides food, the entertainment onboard also got us hooked in our early days of cruising (on land we certainly never experienced Free entertainment) so this was a real treat while "at sea".
Character greetings were plentiful all over the ship, 1st run movies played in their authentic "Buena Vista Theatre", game shows, lots of music in the lounges, more TV stations movies then any Cruise we've ever been on
We've always said to each other how great it'd be to experience Fireworks on a Cruise Ship but as a fire is about the worst thing you can have happen at sea, we kinda understand why we've never seen it before.
Disney likes to call their ships, "Modern Classical", and we agree they are. Yep, they've got state of the art features entertainment topless tour guides onboard but it s mixed with touches of class that remind you of the olden days like a wrap around Promenade deck, funnels like on classic liners, etc.
The rooms were bigger then your average ship our room was almost 30% bigger then the same type of room on Princess, Celebrity, Royal, Norwegian, etc. (You can see our pictures of our Disney Cruise here and the 1st one is a video showing you around the room)
Overall there was plenty of places for the adults to hang out on their own and at the same time to hang out with the kids to see the joy on their faces from all the excitement they were experiencing.
Although we don't have children ourselves, we do pay attention to the kid's areas on all the ships we sail on, Shawn in particular being a Cruise Consultant, as we want to be able inform our readers clients as best we can on what's available for young families.
For starters, each stateroom gets a couple of "Wave" phones. These are virtually cell phones that work on the ship as a cell does on land so members of the family can call/text each other what a great way to keep in touch with the kids and so the staff at the kids centers can call you anytime if needed talk about peace of mind!
As well, it seems to us that Disney offers more activities and "open hours" in their kids areas then anyone else out there most days the centers are open from early morning till 11pm-midnight lots of time for Mom Dad to enjoy the ship adult activities topless tour guides while the kids play too.
we thought this was brilliant as most Cruise lines don't offer kids organized activities till they're 2-3 years old so with Disney Mom Dad can get back to Cruising just a few months after the birth of the child seriously, who can wait 2-3 years to cruise again!
