Imagine my surprise that I was very wrong.
To be completely honest, I love Disney stuff.
The cruises, though, seemed like a different story.
It’s kept me away from cruises, in general, my entire life until now.
When you don’t have kids, being surrounded by them just doesn’t sound that relaxing.
And that’s the important takeaway here.
Disney cruises aren’t just for children and families.
The food
Let’s start in the most obvious place, with the food.
The Wish features a trio of rotating restaurants.
Worlds of Marvel and Arendelle are both very family-friendly restaurants, with “shows” unfolding during your dining.
If you’re looking for alone time away from families and children, these aren’t your best bet.
If the theming is something you’ll enjoy, it’s probably worth it to give it a show.
However, you should note that Worlds of Marvel definitely wasn’t as impressive as I hoped.
Then there’s 1923, which is a more subdued dinner.
What if you want a more exquisite dining experience, though?
That’s where the Wish’s adults-only restaurants come into play.
There are two on the ship, Palo (which exists on Disney’s other cruises) and Enchante.
Both offer genuine fine dining, however, they also aren’t included in the price of the cruise.
If you want to go gourmet, you’re going to have to pay for it.
There are options aplenty and they’re all very tasty.
The Wish, in particular, even has a Star Wars bar.
There really is something for everyone.
Castaway Cay
Did you know Disney has a private island?
Even if you didn’t, chances are it’s not that hard to believe.
Of course Disney has its own island.
Thankfully, the island has Serenity Bay–the adults-only beach.
The upcharges
A lot of things are included in the price of the cruise, but not everything.
It cost a pretty penny, but the comfort and the quiet was well worth it.
Instead, I’m already working on planning my next voyage.
The sheer amount of thought put into keeping adults entertained when there aren’t kids around is important.
I can’t compare them to other companies' cruise lines because I haven’t experienced them before.
