Being a big Star Wars fan, I got to cross off a bucket list item I didn't think I would. Get to visit the Hyperspace Lounge. But this post is not about that even though it was part of why we (I) decided to cruise Disney.
We had to be in Florida and we're looking for something to do on the weekend whe the Disney Wish popped up in our search. Being we don't have children, we were hesitant, but the price was right (we'll for Disney).
Cost for 4 day, 3 night on the Disney Wish with all taxes and gratuities was just under $2000. Being close to Halloween, it was a Halloween cruise, with trick it treating and encouraged costume wearing for all, not just kids, which probably added to the cost. This is about double what a comparable cabin on Carnival would have cost but we took the plug anyway.
I'm going to start with our con list first.
- No casino if you like to gamble
- Theater seats not very comfortable
Yep that was it.
Now the pro list. This isn't necessarily better but also just things done well that other cruise lines we have been on, we feel, fall a little short of the mark with. In no particular order:
- Themed everything! (again this is Disney)
- 2 movie theaters going all day long
- Closer to Broadway level shows (Aladdin for the win)
- Fireworks
- Free soda on Lido deck
- Open house to see the kid areas (worth the time)
- In cabin beverage cooler drawer
- Split bathroom
- Churro Mickey waffles!
- Popcorn bucket $2 refills all cruise
- No pushy staff trying to make a sale
- Hyperspace Lounge (pricey but fun even for non Star Wars fans)
I could probably think of a few more but let's just say we took advantage of the 10 percent discount for pre reserving a future cruise while on board. The clock has started and we have 2 years to book or cancel. "Wish" us luck!
Have you done Disney as adults without kids? Is it something you want to do? Let us know in the comments.
...... If ya go, spend more than a few minutes just hanging out at the bar. The ship window is amazing! Scenes are highly detailed and a hyper jump takes you to a new planet with ships every 6 to 7 minutes.
