Disney Wish Cruise: Full Recap & Honest Review! // Answering YOUR Questions

[@SereinaB]

The Wish sounds so really cool! The style and decor looks so pretty. Your points about the shows during dinner makes a lot of sense and I think I'd feel similar. I've only been on the Wonder, over a decade ago, but look forward to taking our on a Disney Cruise once she's old enough to remember it!

[@kylenealvich7420]

22 days until we board the Wish, our very first cruise! Thank you for your informative videos. They have helped so much. ❤

[@OurZRoll]

Yay!! Have so much fun! Awww! We are so glad! Thank you! ❤️

[@ashleapichardo2834]

We're on the same sailing!

[@lorenaviteri1667]

We’re so excited too. We’re sailing on May 8th

[@Gobstoper927]

You guys are quickly becoming one of my favorite vlogging families. My husband even took to your videos because Justin is a "guys guy" if that makes sense. Ive been trying to get him to buy the black spirit jersey for years, and after he saw Justin in it, he likes it now lol. All that to say, We appreciate your perspective because we have kids in the same age group. This was a super helpful video and series in general as we're taking our first ever cruise on the wish in September. 👏🏾👏🏾Great video guys.

[@OurZRoll]

Awww! Thank you!! 🥰 Haha! Love that so much!! 😂 He is going to rock that spirit jersey! Oh my goodness! You guys will have the best time, and thank you for your support! Us with littles need to have each other's back! LOL!

[@pmajeranowski]

We used your videos to plan our first Disney cruise with our 3-year old aboard Wish. Your content, impressions, reviews were spot-on perfect. Thank you so much for putting these videos together.

[@OurZRoll]

Awww! Thank you so much for sharing this! These comments make our day and inspire us to create more content like this. We are so glad it was helpful! Hope you had a fantastic cruise!

[@publicacultus]

Just got off the Wish last week. Where the elevators are an issue is trying to get to deck 13 in the back or 14 (currents) in the front. Only two elevators in each bank are capable of reaching those top decks, and they are not at all prioritized. It makes it frustrating trying to get up there, as every elevator BUT the ones you need open, or waiting for one to make it all the way up so you can go down. As far as size and placement, I found the elevator banks much more intuitive and useable than the Magic.

[@mjhadley2001]

I’ve sailed on the Wish three times now and I would sail on her again in a heartbeat. There is still so much we haven’t experienced. On our 4 night cruise, we had pirate night in Arendelle and it was a much calmer experience. We absolutely adore 1923 and World of Marvel. I completely agree with your thoughts on the adults only area. I didn’t care for it. The Chip and Dale pool is definitely a hidden gem.

[@sarahburton5]

Totally agree with you about no issue with the placement of the elevators!! And I just wanted more time to experience the food! That’s why I’m excited for the treasure to have a 7 night itinerary. And I so appreciate the time you put into editing your videos and all the b roll you put over top of these videos while you are talking! Just awesome.

[@DJPAdventures]

I enjoy seeing other people from Idaho doing Disney trips like my wife and I do. Thanks for sharing your adventures. We were just on the Fantasy at the end of February and were able to get room service pizza. I would be mad not being able to do that too. Love my pizza.

[@travelwiththetwins_kari]

Are cons on the wish was also adult area/hot tub. And the lounges..too small...our trivias were packed full with ppl in the hallway trying to play.

[@paulawilson4686]

They for sure do have hot tubs in the rainforest room on the dream and fantasy that have an ocean view! It’s my fav spot on the ship! I’m sure there’s videos you can see it online but it’s a must on the fantasy or dream (if you have the time). I agree anything under 5 nights it’s hard to find the time to actually use it - with the kids on the cruise too. Even with a 7 night I’m not sure we got our $ worth out of it.

[@jeebs9524]

I would love to see you on a European Disney cruise!

[@OurZRoll]

YES!!!! We would love that!

[@Kkiikkiirriikkiii]

Kids club questions as I prepare for our first time with kids on DCL on the Dream: 1. What was the staff to kids ratio like? 2. Are there guided activities for younger ones? Mine will be 6 and 4 on our cruise. 3. Do you recommend a magicband+ for the kids? 4. What’s the protocol if a kid wants to contact their parents to leave? 5. Are there snacks or meals served in the kids clubs? 6. Other than the nursery, you don’t need to reserve certain hours and it’s a drop off/pickup anytime within their business hours, right? Thank you for sharing your DCL knowledge, it’s super helpful for this anxious planner. 😆

[@OurZRoll]

Perfect! We will have a kids club video coming out soon! Thank you for these questions! When is your cruise?

[@Kkiikkiirriikkiii]

@@OurZRoll Not until spring 2025 for Dream but also looking at booking a second cruise for Treasure fall of 2025 - your family makes it look too fun! 💓

[@MyThreeSons]

Im psyched that you guys loved the Wish and ranked it as your favorite. We are going on our first Disney Cruise in June on the Wish (Also a family of 5) and see so many saying they don't like the Wish because of the layout (what???lol) but you guys seemed to not have any issues and loved what we think we will also love. Great job! Cheers!

[@christineanderson3745]

I’m so glad you loved the cruise!! I loved the food on the Wish. As for the shows, I agree. They’re very busy and overstimulating. I personally wouldn’t skip the rotational dining if only because I love the servers and food. I didn’t see much of the Frozen show from our table, regardless. It’ll be all new next time😂 The Marvel restaurant I loved the show and music.

[@pamdalesio1751]

They have two hot tubs in the outside Rain Forest area & only the one in the adult area. I think the whole adult area is a joke & unfortunately the other two ships will probably be the same 😢 Seas the adventure is my favorite show too! That was my favorite pool too! The concierge deck has two hot tubs and an area between them with a very small bench pool you can’t even sit in the water it’s that small

[@travelwiththetwins_kari]

Hope yall saw our wish videos before...we found that hidden spot to eat to at the marcellen market too Only thing i missed on the pool decks for food was the fresh fruit

[@RohdeFam]

I love the reviews! Our b2b is this summer and I’m glad I chose to do that because of the super short itineraries. I’m excited to explore it all and see as much as I can. And the food! Bummer about the adult spaces but it’s ok. I’ll just book the other ships for that. The laundry looks awesome! For the longest time I didn’t do laundry on the ship too but eventually I gave in. It’s nice that it’s all in one spot because like Justin said, I would often go to a laundromat and it was full and had to go to another. The loudness and over stimulation would just be too much 😂 I love theming, I do, but I love how Lacey said you don’t have to be entertained 24/7. I wonder if the volume would be lowered, would it make a difference. I hear what you’re saying about Tianas for example. It is loud, but I don’t know if I’d call that a “show” really. Parts are kind of a show but it was mostly lovely jazz playing. It was loud, especially if you’re right by the stage, but it wasn’t too bad. Mardi Gras night is a whole thing but spaced out ok. Was the Frozen show the whole time? Everything I’ve seen about Arendelle restaurant makes me want to plug my ears 😂 Wow, #1 ranking. Ok. Makes me even more excited to see what it’s all about. Thanks for sharing!

[@TwoTicketsToAdventure]

100% agree with y'all on the food. We had a 4 day turned into a 6 day when we got caught in the hurricane two years ago and had a chance to try a lot of food. It's a huge step up from the original cruise ships. The pizza was even better. We're with you Justin, we love doing Laundry on vacation cause once we get home we don't have to deal with it and we just put it away. As DVC members we get that perk at Disney, might as well use it. We never went to the kids club and regret it. The adult area is horrible. It was people soup 😅 And omg good analogy! We felt that way too. Like if we were interrupting people and like we weren't invited. We did do the Rainforest room and that's where they put all the space for adults but it's a bummer that you have to pay for it. There's two hot tubs and you have to pay for the whole duration. There's no single day admissions sadly. Length of cruise rather. And wow, we didn't know about no pizza for room service since we didn't use it. Chip and Dale pool was always swamped for us. :( We really wanted to use it. Next time! Nighttime Pizza as we like to call it and fries were one of our favorite comfort foods for the Wish hands down. We feel the same about the shows while dining. They're amazing but not I'm so glad I take my Loops for noise reduction. When we were extended for the hurricane, they didn't do the show and they just fed us. I really hope they change the adult areas on the future ships but I don't think they will. But that won't be a deterrent from going.

[@tonkatoy84]

Just got off the Dream, and their room service menu was very paired down too! Lots missing since we went in 2023, and pizza was one of them

[@OurZRoll]

Bummer!!!!!

[@terifabulous1206]

Never been on a cruise before but this ship looks fun!!! Great video as always ❤

[@OurZRoll]

❤️Thank you so much!🥰

[@lynnfalvo4879]

Thanks for this review. I am just about to book my first cruise on the Wish!

[@OurZRoll]

Yay! You will have a blast!

[@kena0120]

Love the answers ❤ I’m trying to convince my husband to do the Treasure/WDW next year so it feels like a good long vacation and our boys would be the same age as yours now so they can be together. Here’s hoping!

[@OurZRoll]

Thank you! Awwww love that! Fingers crossed! HA! ❤

[@vincentgranton4348]

Hello guys Loved your insight ❤ wife myself and daughter-son-law and granddaughter going in May 2024 for my wife’s birthday u gave me so much information!! u guys are awesome! 👏

[@marla07860]

I will agree the food was better I'll miss the Deck food when I'm on the Magic. I liked the adult pool, but on short cruises I usually use it on Castaway Cay days when its empty. Room Service, I ordered once and that's it I'll try to order pizza on the Magic in August though lol. 1923 was my favorite menu as well, besides palo. I don't think we will see Wish doing longer cruises for a few years at least with Treasure coming out. Surprising your favorite is the Wish. I honestly can't pick after 31 almost 32(come August), I enjoy seeing crew I know more then ships. I hope to cruise Wish again though

[@ldeglian]

The Wish is one and done for now because I’m not a fan of 3/4 night cruises. Love the ship, the design, many aspects, but would rather do a longer cruise and different itineraries. Also agree with your take about the food. I loved the pool deck food, but the restaurants weren’t great. Also, the tight tables were a challenge. That being said, the menus on the other four ships haven’t changed much in many years. My feeling is that all ship menus could use a revamp. And yet, we are sailing next month and have the Treasure booked for 2025. 😊 Still love DCL!

[@lhoop95]

We sat in the exact same spot in Marceline market it was super relaxing back there with our toddler able to move around ❤️ I miss the wish and the food too 😅

[@OurZRoll]

YES! It's the best, right?! Us too!

[@flightsimnewzealand]

Would love to know more about your Disney Band. In the videos we see it once when it fails to open a door and we don’t see you try and use it again.

[@vicihadfield7307]

Pizza and BLT had gone from room service menu on the Dream on the Eastbound Transatlantic in May 😲

[@OurZRoll]

😢😢😢

[@daniellestewart1180]

We just cruised on the Dream in March and couldn’t get pizza room service either!!! My kids are so picky so when we ordered room service I asked if we could get a cheese pizza for the kids and they said “no, we don’t offer room service pizza”. I was really surprised but it was our first Disney cruise so I thought this was always the norm!

[@alyssahladish7637]

I just started watching u guys and i love you guys keep making the videos ❤

[@auremab]

😊 thank you for your video. I’m planning my trip to Disney, and maybe a cruise and after your video certainly on the Wish. ❤ from France

[@OurZRoll]

How exciting!!! You will have the best time! ❤️

[@kennethpreston9813]

New subscriber, My main issue with the Wish is the short sailings, I think the Wish would be better suited to a 7 day itinerary. Hopefully Disney makes that an option in the future.

[@davek7892]

The Treasure will fill that need

[@kennethpreston9813]

@@davek7892 Agreed. Hopefully they flip the ships every couple of years between 3/4 night and 7 night sailings to give people the option of 7 nights.

[@travelwiththetwins_kari]

If you ever go on the wish again and want a certain room design.... We have the list of what each room is. And we know which floors will be what for the treasure too for room themeing!

[@kristin.o.cooper]

I am kind of skeptical to go on the Wish bc fomo with the short sailings and it having so much going on. Also my husband and I love having a less stimulating dinner experience. We already prefer the late dining time and always request private table. We are going on the Magic next month for my birthday and so excited bc it’s our first time, and it looks like the show at Rapunzel’s is not constant singing and performing. I don’t mind a dinner show, but I also want to be able to go to that restaurant and JUST enjoy the atmosphere. And the pool situation doesn’t look as appealing bc we really take advantage of the Quiet Cove.

[@careyj6745]

Loved your review! We just sailed on the Dream and loved it. We now booked the Wish for 2025. About the mouse water coaster.. is the water warm or like the aqua duck where it is so cold.

[@cooknthyme]

Thank you I enjoyed your views super job , helped a fair bit

[@joykinser3444]

Yes, I do think it will be cool (we go in December) but I don't think I would want to do it multiple times.

[@charleenforsythe1119]

Thank you so much for the review! Did you all get your sweatshirts on the Wish? They are so cute!!

[@kimberlypearson4944]

We are going on the Wish in 75 days- so psyched! Could you speak to the kids club for 3 year olds? Ours is potty trained and can be in the big kids club, but I don’t want her to be run over by bigger kids. How does it work for the younger kids? Thx!

[@BethTong-sb5wq]

I have a general cruise question! I seen in your previous Disney vlogs you guys did cabanas on your last breakfast, which I don’t even know this was a thing and I definitely want to try this on our next cruise. But my question is, if your doing 1st dining and decide to do just the buffet for breakfast, do you have to be out of your room super early or could you have your breakfast there around time of second dining breakfast?

[@karenpaet2104]

Such a great video with really good information! We never ordered room service (crazy right?!)! I tried on our recent cruise on the Wonder and ended up not ordering anything. They asked if I had any allergies and when I told them that I have a walnut allergy, they said they’d have to cook everything separately for me and it would take almost an hour. I ended up not ordering anything because I didn’t want to wait that long. We hope to get on the Wish someday but prefer sailing on the Treasure first. We’ll be on the Dream in December. 🚢

[@OurZRoll]

Thank you! Wow! Yes, if it takes that long I would skip it as well! Ha! Yay! How exciting!

[@letysilisibarreche6686]

I heard some complaints about the TV location in the staterooms, being in the middle it's convenient for whoever sleeps on the main bed, but people on the side can't watch the TV. What do you think?

[@Lisa6812]

Great review. We are on this wish this summer, first time. Will you do a haul?

[@OurZRoll]

Yay! How exciting! We might! ❤

[@travelwiththetwins_kari]

In one of our old videos we also guessed the names of the new ships...we said wish, adventure, believe. So we got 2 right. Adventure is the other new ship they are redoing an old ship for asia. Sorry so many comments this video lol.

[@mecc420]

Love that you do sit down reviews after the cruise !

[@OurZRoll]

We are so glad!

[@NurseMagicTravels]

I’m planning a girls trip no kids 3 day in the wish. Do you think if we did the rainforest room as well that it would be relaxing and maybe go to the pool in the morning on the adult area? Was there a time that seems less busy in the adult area?

[@victoriaglenn-perret1063]

Do they take photos of the kids doing activities while they’re in the kids clubs like they do at Aulani?

We're going for merrytime on wish and we probably are going to skip the frozen dinner night. We are going kidless

[@mandysouthern3063]

We just got off the Magic last week and couldn’t get pizza through room service either! AND no pie of the day! 😭

[@mandysouthern3063]

Also, we had Rapunzel’s two nights in a row (4 night cruise), and they only did the show on the first night. I loved having a show-free dinner in that room the second night as I felt the same as you in that I wasn’t sure if I wanted to sit through the show again.

[@OurZRoll]

What?! NO!!! That makes me so sad!

[@gordonmisner9441]

With regards to the Oceaneer Club - did you have magic bands for the kids or did you get them once on the Wish? I read that if you get one from the Oceaneer Club it’s more akin to a rental but you can buy it at the end of the cruise? What do you recommend?

[@OurZRoll]

Great question! Yes, we received them during check-in before we embarked. They charge your account with a pending charge until you return the band at the end of the cruise. If you don’t return it, they will charge you. We used to keep it as a little souvenir, but we usually return them now.

[@danielleonthedaily]

We cruised on the Wish last year for our very first cruise- are we ruined for the older ships??! 😅 Obvs any DCL trip is magic but for real though haha

What month did you go?

[@TheGarbalosafamilyAdventures]

I have never been on a Disney cruise

[@dennismercon2132]

We've sailed the Wish twice.. least favorite ship - by A LOT... not saying I wouldn't sail it again - all disney cruises are great... but of all their ships, we aren't fans of this one. Like a commentator below, we got "stuck" on an extended cruise due to a hurricane so we spent a lot of time exploring. Despite that, still our least favorite.

[@OurZRoll]

Right on! It's super hard for us to rank ships because, like you said, cruises are great! I think, for us, the food was so much better with more options. I believe that's the main reason. Looking forward to the Treasure, however!

[@e.m.6158]

So we sailed in June. Platinum sailors, so we're well versed in the Disney way and our pro's and cons are a bit different. We DID find the elevators weirdly compact-- and for what reason? Disney shouldn't EVER make anything smaller. It just doesn't make sense. There's full demand for these cruises years in advance so don't condense anything. Same with the venues for the smaller events. Very "cozy." In this day of covid and the ever-present noruvirus pushing people from all over the world into smaller spaces is again, a huge mistake. I agree with your take on the adult pool. It's smaller and feels congested with only 6 or 7 adults in it. Please fire the person or team who came up with this idea. They probably work for your competitors and are double agents, lolol!! Pro's are that the ship is so pretty-- the food was again- delicious! They do need to work on the food servers in Marceline Market. More than once we encountered Cast members who looked like they'd rather be anywhere else than there. Which I understand feeling that way at work sometimes, but you need to pick a different employer than Disney Cruise Line. We enjoyed ourselves and were happy to explore a new ship. We'll do a different ship next time, though.

[@publicacultus]

you can square dance in the Wish's elevators, compared to the ones on Magic. LOL.

[@jonc3903]

Hallways that lead to nowhere, lame out of the way adult only pool, tiny Cove cafe, Arendelle is a total disaster being so loud and cramped. Hate these Triton class ships! Been on 15 Disney cruises and hoping the Fantasy sticks around here in Florida.

[@thomasorlando3466]

The worst poorly designed Disney ship I’ve been on . The pools if you can call them are wading pools . Hallways narrow . Rooms were smaller

[@TheHomeDesigner123]

I just tried to watch the latest Disney animated movie Wish. I had to stop watching less than five minutes into it. The quality of the CGI and the background conflicted so much it was noticeable. This is the poorest animated movie I have ever seen. It reminded me of Hanna Barberas Yogi Bear quality cartoons.
