    Basketball on new ships

    On the Wish in May I recall the sport courts being used for the obstacle course with inflatables part of the time. It was open for basketball the other times but it wasn't 24/7. The benefit we saw is that it is indoors so you didn't have to contend with the winds on deck.

    Disney Magic in 2024, still worth it?

    I am with you. We would pick the Magic over the Wish everytime. The Fantasy is probably my fave though. We loved the Magic for the decor and how well the ship is laid out. I think the adult area is superior to the Wish and it might even edge out the Fantasy. On our last Magic cruise the...

    Tortola question

    There is a prison museum within a reasonable walk from the Boat. HM Prison Museum I believe it frist had inhabitants in the 1700's. It was $5 USD when we went in 2022. The lady told great stories and it was a cool piece of architecture. We liked that we could walk there, see something...

    DiningRoom Seating

    As others have said Disney does a great job pairing up families. We are a family of 3 and were paired with a family of 5 back in 2014. We cruised with them 5 times after that initial trip. When my child, my mother and I cruised in 2022 they paired is another family of 3. Our kids were within 2...

    Wine package receipt.

    Same here, we always bought it our first night on the cruise. The interesting thing is Disney has offered us the same price if we needed to increase our wine package. I.e. we went from a 5 night to a 6 night package on a trip when we finished our bottles.

    Adjoining aft balconies - white walls open?

    You should be able to search by your cabin numbers and see what you can do with the balcony walls. There are some great resources on this board as well. We were in 10660 on the Fantasy and although we didn't open up the white wall if I look at the photos it looks like it might allow for them to...

    Question about bringing alcohol on board

    I found these Jet Bags on Amazon that help me feel more secure in carrying around bags of wine. They have absorbent cloths that are supposed to soak up a bottle of wine's worth of liquid. As someone who had a flask of rum spill on my dress on a trip to visit my family a few years ago the Jet...

    Approved electrical devices?

    I know you don't want to spend your trip ironing but their ironing facilities are pretty nice. Also Downy Wrinkle releaser and the shower work pretty well. I roll my clothes and that helps with the wrinkles even in the space bags.

    Bringing our own water

    Correct you fill out the special requests section an ask for water for a CPAP machine. They can also give you an approved extension cord if your machine needs to be in different locations. There are plugs on either side of the main bed.

    Need help deciding on summer Caribbean cruise

    I would do the Fantasy Eastern Caribbean. I love both of those ships but the Fantasy is my favorite and a longer cruise is always better. We really enjoyed roaming around Tortola. As a plus you might get a small break in the crowds as not all schools in the US are out by June 1. We did that...

    Bringing our own water

    In my 10 cruises we have always drank the ship water. It tastes great. I am a super picky water person and don't trip tap water at my home. Disney will bring you Distilled water to your room if you need it for a CPAP machine so you don't have to lug it around.

    Castaway Cay docking stats

    I have made it 6 out of 8 tries. One of our cruises the entire cruise was turned back due to Hurricane Irma. We probably could have made it into CC if the ship wasn't trying to avoid a hurricane. The other time we missed it because of a storm the week before so they rerouted us but we did get...

    Driving to PE with rental car

    Hopefully people will get used the trains soon. Houston had a massive problem with people/cars hitting the trains (light rail) when they first starting running. I am hoping to try the Brightline from Ft Lauderdale to Orlando in two weeks.

    Cell phone strength in port

    There is also a Starbucks at the Port in Cozumel. I normally jump off the ship, grab a refresher at Starbucks and use their wifi to download my emails and upload my photos of the trip thus far. I found Cozumel had better cell service for me AT&T than Progresso.

    A dumb question before our first cruise! (March 31 - Dream, Western Caribbean)

    I have been on 10 Disney cruises, sure concierge might be nice, but you will have a fantastic time on the cruise without it. I enjoy the boat and we never book excursions because we like being on the boat. From what I have read the lounge with free drinks is only open from 5pm- 10pm. So we...

    Not-to-be-missed Wish menu items?

    I loved the Chicken Tikka Masala at Marceline market. Super tasty and not super spicy.

    Magic Navigator

    It was so funny how much my husband liked it! He normally only dances at weddings after the cocktails kick in but he was one of the only people dancing and when he did the robot the bartender gave him a free drink for making her laugh.

    Where to buy wine

    I buy the Jet Bags and check the wine in my luggage on my way to Orlando. I don't want to spend money on an Uber or Instacart. It saves me money as I have a bottle for the hotel.

    Buying wine by the bottle on board

    You can also carry on 2 bottles of wine per person over 21 when you board the ship. You can also buy wine at port and bring it back on the ship. It's the same 2 bottles of wine per over 21.

    Kiss Goodnight on the Wish

    I can't confirm it was every night as I only made it once but we got there about 11:55pm and there was plenty of space to lay down in the atrium.
