Creator's Key Takeaways
We actually really loved the food on the ship. I would say that it was better almost every single night than what you would get at any kind of, you know, standard dining on a Disney cruise.
The service was I mean it was unbeatable I would say on ABD.
My son absolutely wanted to go back. So we could have actually done the exact same itinerary next year that did work with the school calendar.
I would do an Amma Ray cruise in a heartbeat, but my daughter has to be eight, so we're not.
