Creator's Key Takeaways

I've been on over 50 cruises, but I have never been on a Disney cruise.

This was easily probably the best specialty restaurant that we've ever eaten at on a cruise ship.

We really did have a very good time.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Try the donuts from room service.
βœ“Check out the Rose bar for an upscale adult-only venue.
βœ“Use the child-safe lock on balcony doors if sailing with young children.

Is the food and dining as good as we heard? β€” The rotational dining and specialty restaurants like Paulo Steakhouse are highly recommended.
Is Disney Cruise Line for us? β€” If you like Disney or theater productions, you'll enjoy it; if you don't like Disney at all, consider other options.
