Just back from our whirlwind trip to Disney, Universal and the Wish.
I'm glad we did the Wish cruise, the ship is beautiful and the layout didn't bother me. Although we almost got stuck in the Hero Zone when we went in there after getting coffee in Cove Cafe. It seemed like every door out of there said Castmember's Only.
Our verandah cabin was nice, but definitely not enough draw space. It was just two of us so I just laid my clothes out on the couch. Not sure where you would put all your clothes if you were a family of four? Also weird thing in the bathroom with the shower, there was no hand soap or hand towel ring? I guess you're only supposed to wash your hands in the toilet part of the bathroom.
I liked the dining rooms, but the food was just okay, not bad, but not amazing either. The last night in Arendelle I got the meatballs for the full Norway experience. That meal was bad, pasta was cold and all stuck together and the meatballs were dry as anything. I didn't say anything though because I felt our waiter would've had a panic attack about it. He was so overtop about the comments EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. At the end of the cruise I joked with him, so there'll be a survey at the end?
The captain did an awesome job keeping us in the best weather, on the sea day he was actually sailing the wrong way so we wouldn't get rained on. That's some commitment right there!
I loved the three stage shows, with the Aladdin one being my favorite.
I managed to get pictures with most of the characters and the CM's were great about taking pictures with your own phones.
We checked out most of the bars. It seemed like Nightengales was closed for tastings every time we tried to go there though. My favorite was Hyperspace Lounge, although it would be better if it were bigger. I don't think the ship really has a need for all the fancy merch shops, there was hardly anyone in them.
All in all we had a great time. We bought placeholders hoping to do the Fantasy next year.
