As a frequent all-inclusive resort vacationer, I was disappointed is what the Disney cruise offered. Being a Disney cruise, I assumed that it would cater to children, allowing us parents some alone time. While there were some scheduled children's activities in the afternoon and evenings, the activities for different age groups didn't coincide in time, nor were there activities scheduled when our children were ready to do something besides swimming. What little activity information was provided was difficult to decode. With all that said, my children, ages 6 and 9, didn't participate in "Disney" activity.

In the children's activities they did participate in, they requested to cut it short and be picked up, because "it wasn't that much fun". From an adult perspective, I was very uncomfortable with the pressure imposed by the Disney staff for tipping. Paying big bucks for the cruise, only to be hounded for tips was definitely the low point of the cruise. For this reason alone, I will NEVER go on another Disney cruise. Don't waste your money on a Disney cruise. Other cruise lines have as many, if not more, family and kid activities for a much lower cost.
