    My family has been on 4 Disney cruises (we only haven’t been on the dream). Just got off of the wish in the beginning of February and personally I loved the ship. It is definitely different and the layout can be a little confusing (do the ship tour to find out the clever ways to navigate the ship) but overall the ship is so elegant and gorgeous. I also loved that the bars were actually themed to Disney movies (but not overly done). All of the ships are amazing and any Disney cruise is gonna be a blast.

    Cruises used to men more, but since they’ve raided prices at the parks, food costs more and they added Genie+, cruises are close if not the same cost after you factor in hotel costs. We love that it’s more about relaxation but you can also have a lot of fun. And it’s not waiting in lines all day!

    Cruise lines prey on fear of missing the departure time to get people to pay almost double for excursions. If an excursion company missed one single departure time and it made it into a review that company would be done. These people are professionals. Read reviews and make your mind up that way.
