DH and I never thought we'd go on a cruise...well maybe to Alaska when we're 'old'. Then I discovered that Disney goes to Alaska. We are Disney people--own DVC, get AP's, and go to Disney World twice a year. So, we decided to try out a
Disney cruise to Alaska. DH, was especially skeptical of the cruising part--he knew he would love the Alaska part...which is why he agreed to cruise at all. We had a great time on the cruise and in the ports. DH enjoyed it enough to be willing to do it again...he let me do a placeholder booking for a future cruise within 24 mths. We decided that the ports were important to us as well as the Disney part. We loved having the ship transport us while we were having fun and sleeping. We loved unpacking once, and knowing that after our excursion we'd be back on the ship and having a good meal in the dining rooms and seeing a show in the theater at night. Our first cruise was on the Wonder to Alaska in 2016, second cruise was on the Magic Northern European (Baltic sea) in 2018. Our Baltic Sea one was wonderful. We again did a placeholder booking. Unfortunately the summer 2020 release didn't offer the cruise we hoped for 'when' we can do it...we really wanted a Norway or British Isles...past our placeholder date and around the start of school. We looked at other Europe cruises, but were priced too high for itineraries we weren't really interested in...especially when you add in the cost of flights to Europe, hotel stay before the cruise, and the excursions. So...we decided to do something we didn't think we would...we've booked a 4 nt Dream cruise for the 'ship' experience vs. for the itinerary. As I said, we have DVC, and we'll still have AP's about to expire...so the 'parks' part of the trip will already be paid (except for food) and airfare should be 'cheap' to Orlando in the summer. Everything about the Dream cruise will be new to us--Pirate night, Castaway Cay, bigger ship with more amenities, etc. So we're looking forward to it.
So...I'd pick the itinerary you'd like, doesn't matter which ship it is--they're all great in their own way!
