Creator's Key Takeaways

Wait a minute. Is it really possible to make the wrong Disney cruise ship choice? Yes.

Size matters, folks. If you're looking for a little ship, the Disney Magic and Wonder will be a nice fit.

Palo serves up northern Italian inspired cuisine in a space that is filled with Italian inspired decor. And while it is going to be a splurge, it's also going to be the best food you'll eat all cruise long.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Filter ships by destination on the Disney Cruise Line website to prioritize where you want to go.
Choose shorter 2-4 night cruises if you are a first-time cruiser unsure about sea legs.
Check the specific character meet-and-greet opportunities and kids club themes, as they vary significantly by ship.
