I recently had my first cruise experience and I was lucky enough for it to be on the Disney Wish. As a first time cruiser, everything was very well explained so I knew what to expect. The check-in was fast and easy. The security line went fairly quickly and our room was waiting for us when we boarded. We stayed in a family deluxe stateroom with verandah which was nice and roomy. I was on the 4 night cruise. The options for entertainment on the boat were endless. I went with a friend of mine and even though we had no kids, there were plenty of things for adults only. Don't be fooled, this cruise is for anyone. We barely interacted with kids if I am thinking of my entire experience. The food was amazing, the staff were eager to please. The private island area serenity bay was an amazing beach. I could have stayed there forever! We dressed up for pirate night, it was fun to see everyone having a great time. I can't wait for my next Disney cruise! read more

The ship is beautiful and kept in pristine condition. Clean and sanitary in all public areas. We had a balcony stateroom and found it to be spacious for two. Decorated compellingly with artistic touches and details everywhere. Overall service was good for the price. We had Prima Notte wine tasting at Palo which we found to be incredible. palo pub for Good: 1932 restaurant was by far the best. Food and menu as well as restaurant concept and ambiance was the best of the 3. Adult area was quiet and had a neat infinity pool. The shows in the theater were Disney theme park quality. Not quite Broadway but close. Impressive and entertaining. The balcony stateroom had an awesome feature where the bathroom toilet and a sink were in their own room, and a shower mirror and sink were in another room. Very nice to be doing different business in different rooms at once. Storage was plentiful and had more outlets than I am used to from other cruise lines. Beds were very comfortable. Fair: Most drinks were mid. Some were great. Some were bad. Service experience was an entire spectrum. Most staff were friendly, some went above and beyond, some did not make eye contact. Didn't seem to have quite enough activity options onboard. Especially if you have the 8:15 dinner service. Not much to do later on in the evening. Arenndale and Marvel restaurants food was just okay and we kind of found the content/show to be fun, but mildly annoying and just too much and too loud. Air conditioning struggled at times, but for the most part worked to keep the room cool. Bad: Elevator situation. Completely underserved for the capacity of people. The area where the serviced food stations (BBQ, Ice cream, tacos, pizza etc.) are is open to the outside air and heat/humidity at all times with no air circulation. We found it to be just a crammed sweatbox with long lines and no where to sit and eat, all tables full. The way she ship is laid out does not allow for the ability to travel from fore to aft enough. You find yourself hitting dead ends where only cast members are permitted, and no obvious way to keep going in the direction you want. Everything is really expensive, even for Disney standards. Upcharges abound. There isn't really any drink package to speak of. Having a few drinks a day really adds up! The messages feature on the DCL app was not working very well on ship WiFi with airplane mode on. The gather point mandatory meeting was strange. We all had to get where we were supposed to be, scanned our stateroom cards and then In the middle of the presentation they dismissed the parents with babies and kids, and then everyone. If it is so important, why cut it short without getting the full message? read more

3.49 out of 5 (just can't quite give it a 4) THE GOOD °Stateroom with a veranduh was enjoyable °Aqua Mouse is a lot of fun °Wife loved the shops - Heavy on the jewelry, only 2 merch shops. °Our own staff members were GREAT - Shoutout Vesko, Danang, Antara, and Jericho - Also shoutout to JP, Raymond, and Stetha on the bar staff. - Don't remember her name at Guest Services, but the lady from Japan also helped us link our dinner reservations with my parents. °We got to watch Toy Story 5 one day before big screen release!!! - The kids, of course, looooved it! THE BAD °I really wish places like Hero Zone would stay open til 11pm - Guest with the 8pm dinner have almost no time to enjoy the amenities after dinner. °Felt like a lot of the deck staff avoided greetings/eye contact - Felt like Disney Wonder was better about that. THE UGLY °Unfortunately it's not something they can really change... The main deck pools are terrible (especially after sailing on the Wonder) - Huge deck... No 5-6 foot pool. 4 feet was the deepest. °They kept randomly closing pools constantly for 10 minutes. - Seemed like there was really no rhyme or reason for it. °Only 3 restaurants in rotation. - Was expecting 4 restaurants for 4 nights. - No Animator's Palette May add some more to this review, this is just my first impressions after debarking. read more

4 night tour of Baha Mar and Castaway Cay The boat has very little to offer in amenities. However the nightly shows are quite good. Literally the best part about the trip. My room wasn't too bad. Good views from the balcony. Good enough sleeping for 4. The outlets need replacement since the plugs drop the chargers pretty easily. The daycare areas are okay. Seldomly are the unable to take the kids for a couple hours of play time on their own. Food on the boat is edible for the most part. Some dishes however are awful and inedible. Alcoholic Drinks are heavily watered down (unless you pay the extra $$$ for the shelf liquors) and/or made poorly. Several items I had to just throw away because they made the beverage with the ratios were so off it wasn't possible to consume. If you do one of the alcohol tasting they offer an okay assortment of trial liquors. The presenter was engaging and provided some fun info. Staff is okay but there are the few the snuck past the Disney standard and offer you a "Disney day". Baha Mar is very nice. Especially if you have little kids (1 to 15yr old). Tons of water attraction for the kids good amount of food and beverage that's easy to access. Beaches are very nice with powdery sands. Castaway Cay is less than desirable. The beaches are pretty blah especially when you compare it to the beaches of Baha Mar. The attractions are very spread out and haphazardly arranged. Overall the Disney Wish is pretty lackluster. I much would have preferred staying in Disney world for the extra time. Or I think I would have had a better time just flying straight to the Bahamas for Baha Mar. read more

Disney does cruising right! Absolutely no issues from check in to disembarking. Everything was smooth sailing. Easy to navigate the ship with signage as well as on the app. Food is outstanding in all areas from the sit down meals to the buffets and food court. There are plenty of adult only activities to attend. The pools are warm and inviting. The ship is pristine. Staterooms are large and clean. Cast members were happy and knowledgeable. I just got off our first cruise and can't wait to go back on the wish again read more

This was my first ever cruise and man I had a blast! Never thought I'd have this much fun as an adult , and top it off a gift for our honeymoon. This is a enormous boat with more than 12 floors of excitement. The customer service was immensely satisfying that it made it seem to good to be true. While dining your greeted pleasantly and there's even a station where you can wash your hands before being seated. Disney puts an extra umph into quality and customer experience . This is not your average cruise and it caters to both the parents and the children. It actually feels like a vacation with the kids, even though that might sound a little unbelievable . I like the activities that are held throughout the day. There is honestly never a dull moment and I can't envision myself resting for long periods of time during the cruise. The rooms are spacious enough and the bathrooms are good for people under 6'6 . The staff are tremendously courteous and made it feel like we were royalty. Hats off to Disney and the employees! read more

We sailed on the Disney Wish in February for four nights. This was our sixth Disney Cruise but our first time on the Wish. I was so excited to finally check off this ship from my list and complete a grand slam of the original ships. Everything is so beautiful and new! There is great signing all over the ship to help you navigate, the food is elevated, and the room upgrades are wonderful. It took some time to get used to there not being a midship elevator but it was easy enough to find our way around. The staff were all very good as we have come to expect with Disney Cruise Line and we were very pleased with our experience. We took DCL transportation from Caribbean Beach to the port and it was a very smooth experience. As soon as we checked in at the port we were able to walk right on to the ship. We stayed in a verandah room and really liked that the TV was bigger than the first four ships with better placement in the room to enjoy the TV across from the bed. I liked the addition of the nightlight in the bathroom as well as the sleek new design of the vanity area. I did miss the traditional storage drawers, but there is plenty of space in the closet to hang up your clothes. The beds on DCL are like sleeping on clouds! We felt like DCL really stepped it up with the food for the Wish. For example, they were grilling the burgers fresh on the pool deck, and the pizzas were also made to order. Both were delicious. The soft-serve ice cream is not self-serve which makes for long lines at times, but a much cleaner experience. I liked that in Marceline Market that the cast members serve you as that also makes for a more hygienic buffet experience. They also had a better set up for handwashing before using the buffet, and a nice pager system for the omelet station. At Marceline Market my favorite item was the congee and churro mickey waffles. Palo Brunch was delicious like the other ships and my favorites from the Wish were the celery soup, chicken parmesan, and panna cotta. We also had a good experience at the Star Wars Hyperspace Lounge and enjoyed our drinks. For dinner my favorite restaurant was Arendelle. We had a great table right next to the stage and the entertainment was wonderful. I enjoyed the show much more than I thought I would and the food was also great. I really liked the baked scallops, and meatballs with noodles. My second favorite restaurant was 1923. The duck confit pastilla was so flavorful and I really enjoyed the tortiglioni pasta. 1923 is gorgeous with all of the original art and artifacts from Walt Disney Animation Studios. We also had Pirate night in 1923 and the samosa, crab cake, and lamb shank were delicious as on the other ships. My favorite dessert brownie/chocolate chip cookie with vanilla ice cream from the kid's menu. Like the other Disney Cruise ships, the entertainment on board was quite good. The fireworks at sea are always spectacular and the stage shows were Broadway quality. We attended a fun trivia event, pin trading, and we were lucky to ride the Aqua Mouse several times with minimal lines. The adult pool was relaxing albeit small. We saw lots of characters around the ship and they were playing Moana 2 and Mufasa in the movie theaters on board. My husband got a haircut at Hook's Barbery and was very pleased with the cut and being able to have a custom old fashioned afterwards in their speakeasy style bar. I visited the spa and had a wonderfully relaxing hot stone massage. Overall we had a wonderful experience and I look forward to sailing again on the Wish in the future! read more

My husband and I enjoyed a three-night cruise to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We had a top-notch experience in every way. Our focus for this cruise was relaxation and exploring the various bars, lounges and drink offerings on the ship. Highlights included the Rainforest Room at Senses Spa, Hyperspace Lounge, Nightingale's lounge, Prima Notte wine pairing event at Palo restaurant, and Serenity Bay, the adults-only beach at Castaway Cay. Our stateroom was well thought-out and kept immaculate by our steward. Meals in the rotational dining room were delicious and we enjoyed the varied menus. The evening musical performances were fantastic. My husband enjoyed a cognac tasting and reserve whiskey tasting. About the only thing we found disappointing was the hours of some of the establishments. We weren't able to visit as many of the bars/lounges or onboard shopping as we would have liked because they often didn't open until the evening hours, when we were busy dining and enjoying the shows and reserved tastings. Also, I had indicated in the app that we were celebrating our anniversary and I have seen photos of cards and treats that other cruisers have received but we never received any acknowledgment. Certainly not a deal breaker but it would have been the icing on the cake. We are looking forward to planning our next cruise. read more

This ship is quite amazing, the interior (and exterior) are outstanding. The customer service I received from the cast members was first class. The food was incredible, both the quick service food, room service, buffets and sit down restaurants. Castaway Cay and Serenity Bay were very relaxing. I met Spider-Man. I'm so excited to go on my next Disney Cruise soon! read more

We set sail on The Wish for a four night cruise to celebrate my nephew's fifth birthday. As the newest ship in the fleet (Treasure to come in late 2024), Disney Wish was beautiful and grand. The spaces were also immaculate thanks to the hardworking crew. Our staterooms were larger than most on cruise ships and the split bathrooms were ideal for families. There was a sink and toilet in one and a sink and bath/shower in the other. While we didn't use the small tub, it was a nice convenience for young children. The sleeping quarters were also pretty smart! The couch cushions folded over to convert into a bed and a Murphy bed came down from the ceiling and functioned as a bunk bed. These sleeping options in addition to the queen bed offered plenty of space for a family of four. Food was plentiful as it is on all cruises. The buffet - Marceline's Market had no shortage of options for breakfast and lunch. Some global cuisine was offered. The food was ok but lacked seasoning, which is a common challenge when cooking for the masses. The Festival of Foods area had several stations - barbecue, grill, Mexican, pizza, and ice cream. We tried the barbecue and some of the meats were more successful in the sense of being moist and tender. The sweet potato fries were good but the macaroni and cheese was flavorless. The pizza was decent. The grill made simple burgers, hot dogs, brats, fries, and chicken tenders, and was very popular, as was the Mexican spot that had bowls, tacos, and burritos. The rotational dining schedule was cool so we ate in all three themed dining rooms and at Arendelle twice. The options on the menu read really well and in general, the food was good. Desserts were often excellent and we loved the sundaes. After the first night, our servers had the kids drink orders in place when we arrived and it was nice that we could pre-order for them for the following day to expedite the service. The shows were more musicals and they were a little underwhelming for us but the evening ones drew better crowds than the daytime ones. We spent more time looking for characters on board the ship and standing in line so the kids could meet them than we did at shows or arranged activities. The kids club and nursery were very nice. The kids in our family loved these spaces and we used them during the dinner hour at times to have a more adult meal. We really enjoyed the ship and their private beach, Castaway Cay. The kids have been talking about the cruise since we returned. We plan on cruising with Disney again soon but next time, we'll choose an itinerary that doesn't include Nassau, which is a fairly boring port. read more

We finally got to go on the wish 3/18/24. We are just avid Disney cruise fans and there has never been a cruise we did not enjoy. The Disney wish was no different.

Disney Wish - Travel Services Near Me - Port Canaveral, Florida

Our first disney cruise was for my best friend's son's 10th birthday. I cannot say enough beautiful things about this experience. As a lover of all things Disney, I felt the magic the moment we boarded the ship. Disney's customer service is unmatched. Our room was cleaned twice a day. The food was amazing. I'm not someone who cruises often but I have in the past. I do not think I'll travel on any other cruise line. The kids clubs allowed for the kids to have time away from their parents and we didn't worry if they were having fun. The adults only experiences such as wine tasting, whiskey tasting and good and wine pairings provided fun and so much education. My daughter told me after she only wants to go on disney cruises. There is something magical about the people who work for Disney. They make every moment special. My daughter almost lost her swimsuit and swim shoes. They found the items for us which was great. The only situation that put a small damper on the experience was another child telling my best friend's daughter that she wasn't pretty on the day she went to the bibbidi bobbidi boutique. Once the staff found out, they were apologetic. Luckily Princess Tiana gave her a hug later on that day and gave her some special time with her. It gave her the magic back that she lost. I cannot wait to book another cruise with Disney. read more

Excellent Cruise. This is my first cruise in many years, and so I did not know what to expect. Many of my friends who take cruises suggested that I take a Disney cruise. I was told that they are more expensive than some other cruise lines, but their level of service is top of the line. I took a 3-day cruise to Nassau and Castaway Cay aboard the Disney ship, the Wish. I was very impressed with so many things, from the caliber of the performances to the quality of the food. Every staff member was pleasant and made the stay special in ways like towel animals on the bed and friendly reminders of where to be for the fireworks. The cruise stopped in Nassau for one day and Castaway Cay for the other day, traveling between them at night. The weather was perfect and the ride was exceptionally smooth. They offer lots of shipboard activities every day. Three challenges on the trip were 1) the rotational dining method and 2) closed shops on the ship while in port, and 3)early luggage pickup on the last night. The rotational dining means that you will be seated with other groups each night while experiencing each of the 3 main restaurants. The closed shops are due to Bahamian law. The early luggage pickup is to enable your luggage to be ready on the pier as you approach customs. The embarkation and disembarkation were both very easy and well-explained. Overall, it was an excellent cruise, and I am already planning other adventures after seeing how professionally they handled this trip. read more

We are Disney Cruise Line cruisers and this was our first time on the Wish. The Disney theming did not disappoint. As you board the ship you are immersed into fantasy and magic. There were princess on Deck 3 greeting all the children. You could feel a collective sense of glee from all. The room was very comfortable and the shower seemed roomier than those on the Dream or Fantasy. We were on Deck 11 and I loved the convenience of walking a short distance to the quick service area and pool. As usual, the food was delicious and always with vegetarian options. The servers were accommodating and did their best to uphold the Disney dining standards. I had the pleasure of having my hair cut, colored, and styled in the hair salon. I was surprised at how reasonable the pricing was. The hair stylist was very knowledgeable and talented. I will be back and hope to get her again. The only drawback was the layout of the ship. When traveling on the Dream and Fantasy, I looked forward to walking the length of the entire ship and being able to circle around to the other side without a break in the path. There are also only 2 banks of elevators, which caused quite an extended wait to be able to catch one. The wait is also due to the elevator size being smaller than other ships, so less people could fit. All in all, would return? Absolutely! It is still magical experience. A true escape from reality with a luxury feel! read more

We LOVE Disney cruises and this was our first time on the Wish. I took a star off because the layout is not as good as the older ships. The Cove bar didn't have snacks and the adult pool section was too small. Now for the positives, the ship is beautiful! The crew was very friendly and helpful. There are a lot of kids pools and a splash pad. The new rooms are also more comfortable and updated theming. We loved the new 1923 restaurant as well as Arendelle. We thought the Marvel restaurant was just ok. The quick service restaurants near the pool are very good, especially Donald's Cantina (serving chipotle style bowls and tacos). read more

This is one of Disney's newest ships. It is an awesome experience. Disney Does everything first class, and this is no exception. First, getting to and on the ship is very easy. They have it down to a science. Your boarding time is based on how early you complete your online registration. The lines move relatively quickly, all things considered. They board you by group number, as if you are boarding a plane, but they have many more boarding groups. Before you board, your party will have the opportunity to take a picture against a backdrop. You can skip it though. Then you walk through the large yellow Mickey Mouse ears and you are onto the ship where your family is introduced and you board the ship. This part is a bit chaotic, because everyone is running around and exploring the ship while their rooms are getting prepared. You can go to your room at 3PM and while you are waiting to get to your room you can tour the ship and/or eat. If you are traveling with kids, I recommend dropping by the kids club to pre-check them in. I would also visit the 11th deck where you can grab something to eat and jump in the pool, if you brought your swim suit in your carry on. Lunch is packed, but it moves quickly. You may have to seek out a table. I recommend getting the first table that becomes available. They are at a premium. In addition to the pools on the 11th and 12th deck, there is one on the 14th deck forward that is nice. Forward on the 12th deck is where you will find the enclosed splash pad for the littles and a nice water slide. The ship also features the Aqua mouse ride. It is a lot of hype but not that exciting a ride. A few kids that I overheard, compared it to a lazy river. I did it once and was good. There is a huge screen on deck 11 that towers above the stage, which converts to the Mickey Pool. They play Disney movies throughout the cruise on the screen. It is very nice. They periodically close all the pools for 10 minutes breaks. For special events on the 11th deck, the remove all the chairs on the 11th and 12th decks, close all the pools and cover the Mickey Pool with a stage. This is the site for the world famous Pirate Party and the Debarkation Party. They kids club is 1st class. I always had to fight with my littles to get them to leave. Lunch is pretty simple on board. There is a Marceline Market, on the 11th deck, which is more of a sit down area and can get kind of busy. Also on the 11th Deck, near the pool, you will find Mickey & Friends Festival of Foods which is a collection of food options including Mickey's Smokestack Barbecue, Donald's Cantina, Daisy's Pizza Pies, Goofy's Grill, and Sweet Minnie's Ice Cream. The free soft serve here is very popular. There are self-serve drink machines in that area as well. Dinner is rotational. You are assigned a different themed dining room each night. You rotate between Arendelle: A Frozen Dining Adventure, Worlds of Marvel: Avengers Quantum Encounter, and 1923. 1923 is the only dining option without a show and is more formal and based off of classic Disney. They host games and other activities on the ship where you can win ship swag, and medallions. Some of the games include 80s music trivia, 90s music trivia, Sports Trivia, Name That and Know my Mate. They also have silent Dance Parties, where you jam with headphones and karaoke. They are pretty fun and the host are all awesome. The ships has some nice bars such as, Luna, the Bayou and the Star Wars Themed Hyperspace lounge, which I all love. But if I had to pick one, I would choose the Hyperspace lounge. it is a very unique experience and you have to see the bar to believe it. It is an experience. They just request that you limit your time there so that others can enjoy it. The ship has a few movie theaters where they play Disney movies throughout the cruise. They are very nice theaters that would put AMC to shame. The large theater, the Walt Disney Theater, is where they hold the ship's plays. The plays are amazing. I saw the Little Mermaid and Aladdin. The cast is awesome. It is the same cast for all the plays. It is Broadway quality. I would recommend getting their 30 minutes before the show to get a good seat because the shows get packed and the frown upon holding seats. This ship has many character and backdrop photo opportunities. We left with so many photos. The photo package is a must. The photographers are everywhere. They take great photos and are so friendly. I will admit that this ship comes at a premium price, but it is more than worth it. The entire staff was very friendly, helpful, warm and welcoming, from the waiters, bartenders, entertainment staff, stateroom attendants to characters. The ship is very clean and still has the new ship smell. They are constantly cleaning the entire ship. Disney hit every detail with this ship including the ships whistle that plays Disney Tunes and the line handlers waving goodbye with Mickey hands. read more

This was one of the best experiences I have had - it was my very first cruise and I am ready to plan the next one already! We booked with Grace at MEI-Travel and she was amazing! Disney is #1 when it comes to customer service and the experience. We did the stingray excursion, which was completely worth it. It was an hour, and we got to feed and snorkel with the stingrays. We boarded our ship and were helped by Katelyn, who was just so kind. Maria & Barb B made our check in process smooth and easy. JP serviced our room the entire time and always left gifts and towel/blanket animals that my son enjoyed and loved. We did get off at Castaway Cay and Fin served us on the beach and he was quick and so friendly. Melody helped my best friend plan her whole wedding and everything was perfection. I don't have enough good words to say about our servers - Joseph, Jorge, and Vesko - with a HUGE shoutout to Joseph. He really ensured that my son was heard and appreciated. Every night after dinner he would sit with my son and make an origami animal to give to him. Last but not least... Nortel. She was not our room attendant, but my son ran into her in the hall and fell in love with her. She is kind, compassionate, and caring. She listened to my son about his day and the fun activities that we were going to do. Listen, a cruise is expensive...let alone a Disney Cruise...but it is 100% worth it, and I would recommend it to anyone and everyone. read more

What a beauty this Disney Cruise- Wish is! I often wondered would it just be fun for the kids and if my only fun would be because I see the kids having fun, but I can definitely set the record straight for that, it was fun for adults, kids, elderly, and all! Rooms: spacious, clean. Can decorate room door with magnets. Bunk beds are cool! Characters: interactive, well dressed! Kids and adults can pose with the princesses and Mickey characters. Loved seeing them throughout the ship. Can ask for autographs Photos: photo package was so worth it. The photo backs drops were perfect for keepsakes Food: delicious! Food during the dining experiences were presented beautifully. This food was also very fancy, a little too fancy for me. Food at the market was more up my alley! Cleanliness: very clean!! They did well to keep the ship clean! Loved that we had to wash hands before market! Menus: very creative and cool! Laundry: able to do my laundry and it was so clean! Events/other: love the event nights and that so many people dressed up. Also loved the karaoke, movies, plays, and other events they had planned. read more

I want to start off this review to say we are platinum status and have been on over 20 disney cruises over the years, that being said it had been five years (pre covid) that we have been on a Disney cruise. The main reason is price! We wanted to keep our Platinum status so we booked this wish. We are also platinum on two other cruise lines and a higher than average status on a third and the "perks" Disney gives for Platinum status is so disgraceful. I didn't feel welcomed extra at all or feel like I was special in any way like other cruise lines will make you feel. I get way more perks on other cruise lines for my status, even lower statuses than I did on disney. Overall I 100% do not think Disney cruise line is the right choice if you don't have kids and are just traveling as adults. I think you can get a lot more out of other cruise lines and the price is not worth it for anyone. Are there characters yes, but that is about it and that is really what you are paying the extra for. We have gone on many different cruise lines and recently so this is based on current experiences. The food was mediocre at best and honestly the service overall was not any better than other cruise lines. I have a lot of food intolerances and although they handled it pretty well and average at dinner the buffet areas was so annoying. I couldn't ask a question about what was in an item without them then saying they would have to make my food in the back, and then proceed to make me feel bad for having to do that since most of the food was coming off the regular buffet. We did have a few issues that occured on the cruise and they did make up for those in Disney fashion of giving some gifts, but overall I don't think that is enough to be worth it. I think if you have kids and you feel the characters are the most important things for cruising for you and the kids clubs that disney offers (which is a lot more age groups and overall more in general) then disney is probably right for you. If you are an adult I don't think that this is the best cruise line to choose. That being said the adult only area was really nice, but it was PACKED with people. Overall I'm not counting disney out, but I don't need to go again any time soon. read more

I actually won this cruise....so we did not pay for it at all. I am still giving my honest opinion as if we did pay. Although I prefer adults only cruise lines like Virgin Voyages which is the Holy Grail in my opinion. Covid testing went real smoothly. We boarded the ship and I liked how they announced everyone's name who got on board. Such as Welcome The Smith Family to The Disney Wish. It gave a personal feel to boarding. Our balcony cabin was spacious. The balcony room and shower were very large considering we were on a cruise. The food at the buffet was pretty good. I am still annoyed that somehow I missed the mussels, shrimp, oysters offering. They only offered it one day and that was Port Day so we were at the beach. I feel like Disney cut corners on food in several ways. What I just mentioned and then on the third day they had almost no desserts like they did the first day. The last day of the cruise there were no Mickey waffles. I am not a breakfast person, but still wanted to at least try these. Plus, the outside area by the pool hardly had pizza. You had to wait and wait and wait for it. The Aqua Mouse Ride and another long slide were terrific. I love water rides. The Aqua Mouse I went on over and over. What a treat! Food at the Marvel Restaurant was fair at best. 1923 had terrific service and the food was good. Arendelle had a fun show and the food was spectacular. This is a very pricey cruise for a family of four if you have to pay for it. And it is only four days!!! I honestly saw the adults having more fun seeing the characters dressed up than the kids did. They do have a Star Wars Lounge which we peaked into. They offer a $5,000 drink. I would rather go to Europe. read more

Disney's Cruises are like no other!!! This was our their time cruising on Disney's Wish and our kids had a great time. There's something to do for all ages, the food is delicious and the entertainment is Broadway quality. Each restaurant is unique, and has shows during dining. Lots of character experiences were included, as well as more up close and personal experiences you can sign up for. Don't miss Disney Wish, especially if you have littles. Everyone will have a great time!! Tip: Adults- Don't miss Hyper Space Lounge!!! read more

This was my first disney cruise so I don't really have anything to compare to but this ship is awesome. The grand hall and the artwork all over the ship were beautiful Pros entertainment- i did not expect the shows to be as good as they were. There is some serious talent on this ship amongst the performers. Service- everyone that we encountered on the crew went out of there way to make sure you were happy. Food/ bars- 1923 the steak was really good and arrendale everything was good. All the quick service places on the deck were good. The bars are all themed really cool with great drinks. Cons Marvel dinner- the food was pretty bad with a weird menu Layout of ship- this is minor but the layout is pretty confusing and there is a lot of wasted space near the grand hall with high end stores that i barely saw anyone shop in read more

The newest and most spectacular ship in the Disney fleet (as of 2023), the Wish is a virtual cornucopia of delights, from Broadway-caliber shows and delightful onboard entertainment, to world-class cocktail lounges and a wealth of dining options. There's more to do on this ship than most families will have time to experience, especially if you also incorporate a full a day at Disney's private island, Castaway Cay. Kids of all ages can enjoy activities at a range of age-appropriate clubs, while Mom and Dad relax at the onboard spa or enjoy a drink at one of the adult-only pools. But our family's first voyage on the Wish, for a 3-night Very Merrytime cruise this past December, didn't produce the same magic we had experienced a few years ago on Disney's other ship, the Dream. The pools on the Wish are MUCH smaller, and while there are a few more to choose from, they always seemed overcrowded. And while our kids loved the AquaMouse water coaster, it was closed most of the cruise due to high winds, so I never had the chance to ride. The adult-only Quiet Cove pool at the back of the ship was also much smaller than the comparable pool on the Dream, leaving us with few options when we didn't want to swim with a bunch of screaming kids. The food on the Wish was generally good, but again, not up to what we had experienced on previous cruises. Our dinner at the Frozen-themed Arendelle restaurant was underwhelming, and we were seated so far away from the stage that we could barely see the show. Dinner at 1923, with its Old Hollywood theme, was terrific, with tasty steaks and seafood choices, and the interactive Worlds of Marvel restaurant will thrill younger kids with a superhero show that will keep them from staring at their phones for most of the meal. But I wished Disney had put as much effort into the cuisine as they did into the dinner performances. The Wish LOOKS absolutely amazing, with luxuriously designed spaces that will take your breath away. We particularly loved the Star Wars-themed Hyperspace lounge, featuring delicious cocktails for kids and adults alike, as well as The Rose, an adult-only cocktail lounge with spectacular ocean views. The casual dining options on the ship were generally decent, both at the spacious Marceline Market and the Festival of Foods food court near the main pools, but don't get your expectations too high. And while we didn't spend much time in our cabin, our Deluxe Verandah Stateroom was roomy and well-appointed, with more than enough space for our family of four. One of the best additions to the Wish is the fantastic Hero Zone, a giant indoor play area with basketball courts, foosball and ping pong tables, and cornhole boards that will keep kids entertained for hours. While our kids quickly lost interest in the Vibe Teen Club, they absolutely loved spending time in Hero Zone, especially when the weather on our cruise turned sour. It's hard not to find a lot to love about the Disney Wish, but I honestly didn't find it as enjoyable a ship as the Dream. While there are definitely some amenities that blew me away, the lack of pool space was a big deficit, especially on a cruise where winter weather kept us from our scheduled visit to Castaway Cay. It's a magical experience that could use just a bit more pixie dust. read more

What an amazing experience for our first ever cruise. Everything was top notch Disney. Food was excellent, with our servers going with us for the entire 4 nights. Our room hostess was excellent. Everyone was friendly. The broadway shows were awesome. Unfortunately our first show had technical difficulty and could not complete. We did not use the kids or teen clubs, nor the 18 and over restaurants. I am sure they are top notch too. Will definitely go on another Disney cruise in the future. read more

Recently returned from a 3-night cruise on the Disney Wish and, as the newest of the Disney cruise ships, it did not disappoint. The ship itself is beautiful, whimsical, breathtaking, and any other positively descriptive word you can think of to describe a Disney cruise ship. The design, planning, and offerings embody what a family cruise should include with something for all ages to enjoy and stay entertained. The ship is pristinely maintained, the Cast Members are pleasant and helpful (love meeting so many CMs from around the world), and the amenities are top quality and everything you would expect from Disney. If you are thinking of sailing with Disney or more specifically, on The Wish, do it! This review could go on and on as there is so much to write about. I'll try and capture some highlights. Dining was fantastic. As with other Disney ships, The Wish has rotational dining for which they have their own signature restaurants: Worlds of Marvel, Arendelle, and 1923. Your serving staff from the first night follows you each dinner (and breakfast on disembarking day) from restaurant-to-restaurant. Ours were top notch. Though I may be biased as a huge Disney princess fan, Arendelle was my favorite as it was themed to the engagement of Queen Anna and Kristoff. The show during dinner was fun and the food selection was my favorite out of the three restaurants, though all of the restaurants had exemplary selection and taste. Worlds of Marvel was a show stopper in terms of ambiance. Definitely a place any Marvel fan would appreciate and enjoy. The ship also has fine dining options, by reservation, that can be made for dinner or brunch. These options are an additional cost to what you pay for the cruise. As this is a Disney cruise ship, they do not shy away from entertainment. There are nightly, Broadway-style shows. Disney Seas the Adventure was my personal favorite. There is a sail away party/show as we left Port Canaveral. A Pirate Night. Fireworks: Disney is the only cruise line with a fireworks show. Additionally, because we sailed during the Disney Cruise Line (DCL) 25th Anniversary, they had a special stage show in the Grand Hall on our last nigh to celebrate. The Wish also has nightly entertainment in their lounges, games, trivia, karaoke...you name it. Character meet and greets are frequently scheduled. Current Disney movies in theaters are also playing on the ship. The list goes on and on. The ship is equipped with several spaces for pool time with some family areas, an 18+ over area labeled as the Quiet Cove, a Toy Story themed kids splash zone, and, signature to The Wish, their Aquamouse waterslide which incorporates short video clips at the beginning of the 'ride.' There are several bars on ship, but most notably my favorites were the Hyperspace Lounge (Star Wars themed) and The Bayou (Princess and the Frog themed); mainly because of theming. All of the bars and lounges were amazing and worth a quick stop in to just see what they're about. Shopping is also available on The Wish with many DCL and Disney Wish cruise ship exclusive merchandise. They also have a few other items that can also be found at the US parks. Additionally, The Wish stops at Disney's island in the Bahamas, Castaway Cay, for which the island has their own exclusive merchandise. As noted, I can keep going about how fantastic our sailing on the Disney Wish was for us, but I'd definitely exceed the character count on this review. Sailing with Disney comes with a price tag, but it was worth it for us. If deciding upon which ship of Disney to sail on, perhaps what makes the Wish notable as of writing this review is that it is the newest of all of the Disney ships. Though I have sailed on other Disney ships, they all have their unique charm, but with The Wish, you will get the modern feeling of its build. Bon voyage! read more

What a beautiful ship, what an awesome experience! The Disney Wish is a brand new ship that had its inaugural sailing on July 2022. We were blessed to had our adventure a couple of months after. The experience is like that of a movie. Every corner of the ship is clean. Lighting is perfect. Everythimg seems shiny. Going through the process of boarding the ship is a breeze. Very organized, no long lineups. The area where everyone has to enter is magnificent. It"s very beautiful. They announce your family name as a welcome. Everyone has time to explore the ship, an open house while they put the finishing touch on your cabin. The hallways are neat, the pools are clean. We were on a 3-night voyage. Every night, there is a different restaurant where you are assigned seating but your server remains the same. The food is great! The 1st and 3rd night there is an activity during dining. There is a food area where the pools are and there's a lot of food. You will never get hungry in this trip. There is a nightly performance like a Disney broadway play. Professionally done. Book Hyperspace, the Star Wars bar as it gets fully booked early. Go to Luna, the cinema, the pools, the ride, the place for the younger kids. The ship will pass by 2 islands, Nassau and Disney's own Castaway Cay. We will never forget this trip. It's very memorable. If you are still thinking about it, go for it. I don't mind any questions. If I could help, I will. read more

The Disney Wish was my first Disney cruise. We picked this ship because it was brand new and had such a immersive kids club and many other amenities that was fun for all of us. I was blown away by how organized the check-in process was and every aspect along the cruise. Disney plans and prepares every aspect of their cruise to make it as enjoyable as possible. Getting off the cruise, we could only think of one thing...when will we take our next cruise? Disney really set the bar really high, what I loved the most was it was one of the most fun and relaxing vacations I have ever had. On our cruise we went to Bahamas and Disney's private island Castaway Cay. We swam with Dolphins in the Bahamas and we enjoyed local cuisine by the beach. The experience at Castaway Cay far exceeded my expectations. Everything was organized, navigating the island was so easy and transportation was provided to each area via team. The beach was perfect, like a dream, it was so nice. They also have a wonderful kids club on the island, my daughter absolutely loved it, she didn't want to leave. While my daughter was in the kid's club, my husband and I were able to go to a mojito tasting which was wonderful. The rooms here are very roomy and well laid out. I loved that they have the toilet and bath/shower separate in your room. It is very convenient for families. The food was amazing. They have premium dining options, honestly, everything was so good, we did not feel like we needed to eat at any of the premium restaurants in which you pay extra. All the food was so good and cast members were all so helpful, patient, and kind. The onboard entertainment was incredible. We really loved their Aladdin live show, pirate night and firework show at sea. We came for their Halloween Cruise and it was so magical. Food is available at all hours and they have room service at no additional charge (just gratuity). The bed were so comfy and the pullout bed my daughter slept on was large and very comfortable. They clean your room twice a day and put away the pullout bed in the morning and put it back out in the evening so you get the most out of your room throughout your stay. The pools, the waterslides and splash parks are so nice. I was so impressed by all of it. If you've never been on a Disney cruise, you must do one at least once. It is truly fun and accommodating for all ages. The kids club is very safe, your kids are issued a magic band which also detects and sets off an alarm if any kid leave a perimeter of the kids club. It is very safe and very relaxing. This experience was like 10 stars, I loved it so much and can not wait to go back. read more

top tier experience! high bar has def been set for cruises. the entertainment is endless and there's always something fun to check out even for casual disney fans. absolute best part is the entire staff because everyone goes above and beyond to make sure you feel relaxed and pampered at all times! i would also reconsider making prolonged eye contact with the fat curly tail lizards on castaway cay... they will square up o_o read more

This was an amazing experience, will try to keep this short. This is our second Disney cruise and exceeded our expectations. Customer Service: Rate 5 Everyone was so cheerful and helpful. The exception was a Pandora salesperson who seemed to be bothered for helping me, I will not let this person change my rating. Activities: Rate 5 There was a Halloween night we dressed as Bruno and Maribel; it was a lot of fun. Karaoke was fun, not a great singer. The Aqua Mouse was amazing for being on a ship, went the first day before the lines got long. The live shows with singing and dancing were entertaining. Photographers with characters throughout the cruise. Got some with Mickey! Pools: Rate 3 Very small, I believe the previous Disney cruise on another ship had bigger pools. I know it is a ship. Go aft and you will find adult only Infinity pool and bar steps away, very nice. Food: Rating 4 - this is mostly due to breakfast being consistently cold. Service had a team, like a lead who managed a certain number of tables his name was Rodger he was great, our waitress Jocelyn was great, very attentive and I think her helper was Cris. I ordered mead from Cris out of curiosity for $18, it was 4 oz I feel he should have mentioned how small the serving was, it should reflect that on the menu I was taken aback a bit. Various food stands available practically all day on deck, the cheeseburgers were fantastic and very good BBQ. Restaurants 1923 Breakfast Tended to be served cold, eggs benedict, Mickey waffles, all of it. I mentioned it to Roger and said he would make an issue of it. Lunch Good was served hot and delicious, puff pastry with scallops, rib eye. Dinner Food was served hot and was very delicious. Jocelyn recommended lamb with mint jelly for one of the dinners and it was outstanding, I have never experienced this dish before. Desserts amazing. Marvel Restaurant Rib eye and scallops very good. Desserts amazing. Star Wars Hyperspace Lounge: Rate 10 This was one of the highlights of the cruise if you enjoy cocktails. Cocktails cost about the same throughout the ship so why not have a memorable experience. I had Tatooine | Freetown Reserve: Made of Bantha hides mashed with fermented grains. Woodford Reserve Double Oaked, served with blue ice cubes and smoke, it is all about presentation by your server. Castaway Key: Rating 5 This is Disney's little island in the Bahamas. Rode bikes, did some snorkeling, did not really see any fish. The buffet was great, they had rib eye but I could not eat another steak so went with cheeseburger and fruit, don't know where they got their watermelon but it was sweet. Serenity Bay is the beach to go to, you can walk very far into the ocean, it is an adult only beach. I will definitely do a Disney cruise again but to a different destination. read more

I LOVE THIS CRUISE SHIP! This was my first cruise ship to go on and now my expectations are SKY HIGH for the rest. The Cast Members are absolutely AMAZING! They were probably the highlight of the whole cruise. read more

This is my first time on the Disney cruise and this ship is beautiful has lots to do and see so you can never get bored! The food was so good even at the buffet I was impressed and ameilia and I noyman my servers was excellent always remembered what I wanted to drink and their recommendations always good to eat! And I also like how my housekeeper made towel animals every night it's cute with the chocolates! The room is very spacious which is a plus and always clean! Only thing I hated is the elevators get rid of the touch screen buttons they are so sensitive all backs or elbows accidentally hit all decks so we have to stop every deck so that was annoying and I wish on castaway cay you can pay cash or card to purchase merch but they only bill you everything to the room! Parking is $77 for the 4 days to self park at port canaveral! And the wifi was $20 per day and they also charge tips automatically per day for housekeeping and the servers read more

the most beautiful ship in the DCL fleet. i've sailed on the wonder 2x and the older ships cannot compare to the new wish. the ship feels absolutely luxurious, premium, and we loved our stateroom so much that we've already booked our next sail! docking 1 star for the limited / short itinerary, we felt like our 3-nights sail was far too short and the itinerary could be better, and disembarkation was a bit chaotic, we were evicted from our stateroom at 8am sharp and everything felt chaotic and rushed. hopefully we'll be better prepared next time. the shows on the cruise are absolutely broadway caliber, food were all amazing, and we loved every touchpoint. can't wait for the treasure! these are the new age of cruise ships for DCL, it may not be for everyone, but it is for our family, we loved it! read more

The Disney wish was a very good ship. We had great servers at are restaurants. My one complain is the ship lay out. Other than that the food was great and the pool layout was also mid. read more

Amazing! What a wonderful experience for children and the big people who love them. The staff was amazing as were the shows and entertainment. We made amazing memories together. read more

GO ON THIS SHIP... also if u get cornwall or stacy as ur waiter than ur in luck cuz they are very good. LITTLE TIP: if u don't want to wait in line to ride the aquamouse then book dinner for 8:00 cuz NOBODY'S in line when everyone else is at the early dinner. so go to the aquamouse around six. i am not joking when i say that I LITERALLY RODE IT 3 TIMES IN A ROW NONSTOP. so take this tip cuz it will help a lot. also if u go to the inside out bakery then get the red velvet gelato and it will change ur life. another tip is to bring stuff for pirate night cuz it will definitely help but if u forget then dont worry cuz theyll give u a pirate head cover that u will find in ur room on the third night (pirate night). also take a little time to just go to the star wars lounge just to experience it. lastly u probably would want to bring magnets to decorate ur door (look at the pictures for a door decorating example). read more

I went on a 4-day cruise on the Disney Wish and it is beautiful and for the most part the crew is phenomenal. Unfortunately, on day two I, along with many others got food poisoning and I spent the next 2-days in my state room sick. I ran up a $400 bill in the ship's hospital and the ship had to rush to Port Everglades, Ft. Lauderdale to evacuate a passenger who was so ill from food poisoning as well. Now I realize these things happen, but in dealing with the Disney Cruise Line Customer Service after the cruise has been a nightmare. They couldn't possibly care less and have actually referred me to their Risk Management Department. I'm not sure why they believe that would be helpful but I suppose those are the folks I'll be dealing with next. When you go on a Disney Cruise, stay at a Disney Resort or visit a Disney Theme Park you go for and are paying for an experience. An experience that comes with a very high price I might add, but the Disney experience is always worth the price, right? Well, apparently not always. This experience was horrible and it's been compounded by this experience with the horrific customer service post cruise. While I'm a huge Disney Fan, I am not a fan of the cruise line. I know many people have had wonderful experiences on Disney Cruises but when something goes wrong Disney could not possibly care less. HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT. I'm still a Disney Fan, but I'll stay on shore, they don't do cruises well at all. read more

The boat is absolutely beautiful and the staff is wonderful for the most part but the lack of communication is ridiculous. We were told we would have our luggage by 3 after we entered the boat at 12:30 Instead we find out we won't have it till 6 pm. We are from NY where it's cold as heck. Now we're sitting in our stateroom with minimal air conditioning since we haven't left port. We see others walking in swimsuits relaxed and we're here in winter clothing. Before going on this trip find out everything!!!! We didn't know we could purchase decorations for the room because it's not in the initial booking. Now we sit in a stateroom boiling and my daughter doesn't even walk downstairs because she's too hot. Dinner is at 5:45 so I guess we're going to be stuck in our grubby clothes through dinner also. read more
