Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. We just finished a 3 day Memorial Day weekend trip on the Wish. It is a stunning ship and we had a magical time. This was our 10th Disney Cruise and we always travel Concierge cabins so this report is from that perspective. We have been on 50 plus cruises on a variety of cruise lines. First I want to say Disney has stepped up their food significantly. That was always my complaint with Disney in the past. The food was below average. Not anymore! The rotational restaurants were excellent and the Mickey and Friends Festival of Foods is awesome! The BBQ ribs were some of the best ribs I have had anywhere, land or sea. We did not try the buffet but it looked good. The service was impeccable and the Concierge lounge on the Wish is a welcome upgrade. I always felt the lounges were way too small on the Dream and Fantasy. They have corrected this on the Wish with a GIANT lounge which now offers a very limited selection of hot foods. One let down was there is still no concierge pool. Just 2 hot tubs and a water feature that you can sit on a bench while water flows down and over the bench. In fact we notice almost all the pools on the ship are only 1 to 3 feet deep. This is strange. The adult only area in the back of the ship does have what I would call a "normal" sized adult pool. The entertainment on board is excellent. Never a lack of things to do. One welcome addition is they have really expanded your shopping selection on the ship with a partnership with Diamonds International. So in addition to all the Disney merch, you can now shop high end watches and jewelry. One thing missing in concierge is the private character meet and greet as they have on the other ships. We were told they are working on this whatever that means. It shouldn't take much work to do this! I also want to say Disney concierge level on the wish still only offers two types of rooms... the family veranda suite and the one bedroom suite. The family verhanda is tight. I slammed my sholder into the TV on the wall several time as they give you about 2 feet of clearance between the end of the bed and the wall. They need to offer a larger suite that is between the current room choices. NCL, Royal, MSC and many others all offer 4 to 6 room types in concierge. Having only 2 on Disney doesn't cut it in today's market. Yes Disney still has the uber expensive Royal suites but they are very limited. Finally I want to address the Cabanas at Castaway Cay. They are old and dated compared to other cruise line cabana offerings. Also the swimming area for the cabanas is not really a Bahama beach. It appears to me to be all man made with clay and concrete under the sand. Also the BBQ at Castaway Cay is not very good. I was served the same stale buns and undercooked macaroni that we have had on the Cay for years. If we do another Disney cruise we will not get off the ship at Castaway Cay.
