First Disney Cruise, our son is a Spider-man super fan! Disney exceeded our expectations at every level! We surprised our 32 year old son who has Down syndrome with this Marvel Character Cruise. Our first sea day was a Marvel Day at Sea, Iron Man, Spider-man, Loki, Groot… all the Marvel characters, strategically positioned all over the main decks for photo ops, some you had to pre register for, others, the character was just staged with a couple assistants for photo and meet and greet with all ages. Most of the guests on the ship were there for the Marvel aspect of the cruise… imo. 2 year old, to 75 year old… all wearing the Marvel gear, costumes, hats, jackets! Every detail was Disney quality, all the cast members were so patient and kind! The shows were excellent quality, Beauty and the Beast was our favorite! The food and dining experience was a big part of the value on this cruise! The food was delicious, a large assortment of choices! The lunch venues by the pool deck were always fast and delicious! The “I scream” was always busy and you had a choice of four flavors; vanilla, chocolate , banana and strawberry! For late (8:15) dinner, We had the same servers but moved to three different venues to experience all of the dining available on the ship! Our day at Castaway Cay was also perfect, a beautiful lagoon with lots of “arranged” snorkel adventures to see! The Cruise Director commented that only 165 guests stayed on the ship, as opposed to Cozumel… when the ship was probably still one third full in port! ( our weather was 75 and sunny, evidently the last few cruises were colder with cloudy skies, we were very blessed ) I may have to revise this review once my head has stopped spinning!
We had a beautiful balcony cabin on deck 6. Nicest cabin we’ve ever had (compared to Carnival and Royal Carib) the bathroom with a separate sink and tub! Amazing! great use of space, very comfortable with three adults in the room! Our steward Sugar was very attentive and the room always looked picture perfect. The king mattress was very comfortable and a full length curtain separated thee room for a bit of privacy at night!
