[ldrco195 17]

HELLO ALL..

I am looking to enjoy a cruise with my wife and little girl. I am considering Disney Cruise Lines.

Has anyone been on these cruise lines? If so any advise / suggestions?

Thanks !!

I went in January of this year, I highly recommend Disney Cruises.. I did the 3 day in the park/4 day cruise package. Well worth the money. Brought my family and luggage to the airport, with the luggage tags that Disney provided, and when I got to my hotel room the luggage was there. Leaving the park for the ship, again brought luggage to the designated drop off point, and got on the bus to the ship. Got in my room on the ship, and the luggage was there. As for the ship, there is tons to do. The food is excellent. Disney does something called 'rotational dinning'. There are 3 resturaunts on board, each with its own theme. You will get a dining schedule when you get on board, and you wait staff gets the same schedule, so you always deal with the same waiter and assistants. By the end up the cruise, the know some of your preferences. There is a fourth restaurant, Palo, that is adult only, and requires a 10 dollar per person fee to be paid on board. Each night at dinner had a different theme, cruise casual (no shorts, no swimsuits), pirate/tropical, and one night of semi-formal (shirt and tie). The ships Magic and Wonder ( I was on Wonder) both have a movie theater showing recent Disney movies, and a live theater later in the night. our cruise made two ports of call, Nassau and Disney's private Island, Castaway Cay. Castaway Cay was excellent swimming,snorkeling,bikes, hiking, etc (small fees apply). Even if you are not a big Disney fan there is plenty to do, and you will have a great time. The ship's crew and staff are very helpful, and the ship was immaculate.
