Great and timely video! Never done a Disney cruise (or any for 15+ years now) and was just thinking about trying a 4-day trip on the Wonder, mainly because it sails out of San Diego, CA. We like the Disney parks but not a big character-interaction person so that part isn't a draw. And like you we would be going just as a couple, so not sure if these are mainly for younger families with kids. Sounds like you would advise going on another cruise line? Maybe Royal or NCL etc.?
@The_Bag_Drop5 күн бұрын
That’s a tough one as it’s very personal. We really did enjoy our Disney cruise but for us, we prefer more evening entertainment. Our personal preference would be Royal, Virgin or Celebrity but saying that, honestly, we are very glad we did Disney. The ship and the dining experiences were just brilliant. Let us know what you decide.

Most of the dining is free but there are added extras to purchase and of course, the specialty dining is also extra. The free food is all great though (maybe not that steak I had lol) so you can definitely go onboard and not spend a cent.

Have taken this ship 3 times - 2 x New Zealand & 1 x South Pacific. Staff true 5 star BUT I will never sail on it again. In Nov 2024 it was full to total capacity ( full of child 7 weeks before school breaks up ) 4,000+ passengers. It took 1hour & 50 minutes from joining the departure line on deck 4 to when I walked out of Customs. When I asked a Customs Staff member why the line was so long, they stated " You are on the largest ship that docks here in Sydney & it was full. This terminal was never design to handle such numbers. RCCL stop bringing YANK TANKS to Australia. Voyager, Freedom & Radiance Class only could be alowed at this terminal. Give Wonderland a miss BUT you must go to Jamie's
@The_Bag_Drop14 күн бұрын
That’s such a shame. We were on her in November too and it was dull but boarding was easy. That said, we had the Key package so had priority boarding. I LOVE the radiance class ships, but I have to admit I really did like Ovation. Can’t wait to cruise on her again.

Great video with one small gripe, sorry. The music is overwhelming the commentary. Way too loud. You didn't miss a thing by not entering the Crown lounge. As a C&A member myself, I don't even attend events held in these 'members only' lounges anymore. They're usually overcrowded and pointless. It used to be better years ago when the Viking Crown Lounge was used for members only functions, but now everyone is squashed into a small area. Once inside, there are free glasses of wine or sometimes cheap champagne and soft drinks. This is usually accompanied by light snacks/finger food such as those disgusting, clap cold miniature burgers (sliders). Crown & Anchor Society, in my opinion, has gone down like the Titanic. Slowly sinking to the murky depths. Across the entire fleet of RCI ships.

Just returned from Caribbean cruise on Voyager used Kitchens for breakfast and late lunch , if back early to ship but used Latitude for evening meals (great food/service ) . Use to grab pre packed food from snack shack when leaving ship in morning though , the 14:00 bag storage and use of facility's till 16:00 seems the norm as we had this . There were few on ship hat had independently booked on ship (not package ) they were also allowed to use facility's till 16:00 on last day . Liked your review it pretty much summed up what's available on Voyager (should have watched before cruise ) as missed few things on ship

Awesome video! Just a heads up: Unless it’s different on Aussie homeport sailings, Fish n Ships is normally complementary except for lobster rolls and a special desert. Every time we’ve seen Fish n Ships, the fried fish, fish sandwich, chicken strips, popcorn shrimp, and chips were always complimentary. Also, there’s a venue called the Solarium Bistro that has healthy complimentary buffet options (think porridge, soups, salads, wraps, etc) for breakfast and lunch, as well as paid real fruit smoothies (included with beverage package) and a la carte specialty dining for dinner.
