What Creators Are Saying About Cruise Critic
I've never seen so many people say I'm done with automatic gratuitities and I am going to pay my crew members moving forward in cash
Jayson Judson
We have sailed with Disney Cruise Line nine times now, and let's just say we cruise very differently today than we did on our very first sailing.

She sits in that sweet spot between big ship variety and premium line comfort, and cruisers who step aboard tend to fall for her fairly quickly.
CruiseTalesToday
All in all, we had such a fantastic cruise around Iceland, and the ship we would 100% recommend.
