As a Disney College of Knowledge Earmarked Master agent, I am an expert in all things Disney: Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Disney Cruise Line, Adventures By Disney, Disney Aulani Resort, and the new National Geographic Expeditions. 

Wheth...

With or without kids, Disney Cruise Line delivers the highest quality of entertainment, activities, and dining for anyone and everyone. I’ve been fortunate to sail on all 5 Disney Cruise ships and can say with confidence that they are the best!


I just had the extreme honor to be invited to sail on the new Disney Wish prior to her maiden voyage and wow, was I impressed. You too will soon see why Disney Cruise Line was named the Best Large-Ship Ocean Line by readers of Travel + Leisure for the sixth time.


THE SHIP


I’ve sailed on many other cruise lines including the 4 other Disney ships, with and without kids, and will choose Disney every time as they seem to have it all figured out. If you have kids, this is the cruise for you. If you don’t have kids, believe it or not, this is the cruise for you too. Yes, there are touches of Disney throughout the ship, but they are very subtle. Yes, there are Disney movies playing on the main pool deck, but there are also adult areas sprinkled all over the ship where you can easily forget you’re sailing with an amusement park conglomerate. And let me tell you, those adult areas of the ship are amazing.


ADULT SPACES


The Star Wars Hyperspace Lounge on the Disney Wish for example, is a must. The adult pool areas are sublime. The specialty restaurants are a beautiful feast for the eyes and palate. And spas, oh heck yes! My husband and I had a couple’s message in a spa villa suite on the Disney Dream that had its own private veranda with a cozy lounge bed and hot tub overlooking the ocean.


FOR THE KIDS


Don’t get me wrong, if you do sail with kids, you will all have a magical time together. But they may want to spend most of their time in the stellar kid spaces. Star Wars Cargo Bay, Marvel academy, story time with the characters, secret passageways, and counselors handpicked with quality children’s education and special needs backgrounds.


ROOM OPTIONS


I’ve also had the opportunity to tour all of the different room categories on the ships and all staterooms have plenty of space, storage, comfort, device plug ins, split bathrooms, and most have private verandas. Since Disney ships only need one working funnel, they turned the second funnel on the Disney Wish into a two story 4 bedroom suite and it is divine. But my favorite was the princess Aurora Royal Suite with its beautiful ornate spiral staircase, large private veranda with hot tub, and a bathroom overlooking the ocean that I could live in. None of the rooms scream Disney, they are all very well appointed and lovely. 


Whether you are interested in a family cruise or a romantic sailing with your partner, Disney Cruise Line will be magical!
