I had a trip booked in June on the Wish but of course they got canceled due to not getting the ship out and ready, but the most awesome part is they gave us 50% Off!!! If we rebooked a cruise through December 31, 2023, so we changed our 3 day weekend cruise which we were going to Walt Disney World after the cruise, but we took the small amount we paid on that cruise and put it towards a 7 Day Eastern Caribbean cruise on the Fantasy!
I was sad for everyone who initially got their trips cancelled, but also glad Disney provided that deal! So Congrats on getting the 50% off! A 7 day cruise sounds AMAZING! Hope you have a wonderful time!
Thanks so much! I think it will exciting over the next few weeks as we begin to see more information and reviews as the cruises actually begin. Hopefully that will continue to help you plan for 2023. Thanks for watching.
My 16 year old has no idea, I cruise carnival, but the price was soo perfect I couldn't pass it up, he will have soo much fun. We will sweeten the pot by taking him to one day to wdw day before we embark this October. Soo excited...cant wait... October needs to hurry up and get here...
That sounds SO FUN! Hope you guys have a wonderful time! And in October it sounds like they will have some Halloween additions on the ship too. So exciting!
Just found this video. Great job. DH and I are booked on The Wish for late September and I have been looking for a video like this to watch. I can’t wait to see this beautiful 🚢 ship! 😎👍🏻
Thanks so much for the kind words! And so excited that you guys are booked! This ship really does look amazing and I'm sure you will have a wonderful time!
We don't follow DCL much but this ship looks like a lot of fun. We like the integrative waterslides and the Star Wars lounge. We have been debating on trying a cruise at some point but worry that teen boys might be bored.
It really does look like they've done a great job with this ship. I know many of the teens love the teen clubs and hangouts on the various Disney ships... But I feel like when I was a teen I would have been too shy for those so I totally understand the concern. haha Thanks for watching!
My little brother was 14, I was 18 when we went back in September 2021, we had a blast, I’m 19 now and I’ve literally booked my own 4 night cruise on the wish for myself just because of how much fun I had…I definitely recommend it
i had a trip booked in july for a back to back cruise on the wish and it got canceled because of the delay in getting the ship ready. the inaugural cruise got bumped to when we were supposed to have our cruise, so we got 50% off another cruise and decided to do an alaskan cruise. it won’t be on the wish but i’m excited for when i get to explore this ship some other time!
While having things delayed wasn't ideal I'm glad you got that 50% of deal because of the delay! And an Alaskan cruise will be AMAZING! How exciting. And the other good news is the Wish will be waiting for you whenever you do make it onboard. Thanks for watching!
My only question for Disney is why almost all of their ships do such short cruises. Like come on. The only thing that gets in the way of my excitement for this ship is the fact it’s only going to nassua and castaway. They could’ve made a new Itenerary
I know they like the weekly 4 night and 3 night Cruise schedule because it means more guests are getting on and off the ship. But it does mean no long cruise options aboard the Wish for now. But the good news is now that the Wish will take that schedule over the Dream will be doing longer and different itineraries out of Miami, the Fantasy will continue its 7 day itineraries out of Port Canaveral. The Wonder is moving over to the West Coast long term with Alaska, Hawaii, Mexico, etc. and the Magic will still be headed back to Europe this summer. But the Wish will likely be sticking with Nassau and Castaway Cay until the next ship debuts to maybe take its place in a couple of years. Thanks for watching.
On all cruise ships, I was watching another video on the reasoning for that, water just weighs so much. Or do you mean even smaller than on other ships?
They automatically schedule the dining rotation for you so you get to visit all three restaurants. So when you arrive on the ship you can look on your app and see which restaurant you will be visiting each night, menus, etc. Your wait staff will follow you to to the various restaurants each night too. Hope that helps.
I actually think that is a very likely name choice. I could see them using Imagination and for another ship "Adventure" (or something like that) in the future. Thanks for watching.
@@zeldafan1942 After the Wish sets sail Disney has two more ships that will be coming in the next few years. So my personal guess for names are the "Disney Imagination" and "Disney Adventure" those are just my guesses :)
@@EricD I think those would be perfect, although I don't have a desire to go on a Disney Cruise in the future in my life, but I do have a desire to visit Disneyland because I haven't gone yet, and I've been to Disney World many times in my childhood.
The Maiden voyage of the Disney Wish will be July 14th 2022, and while that is all booked up they are booking future cruises through the rest of 2022 and into early 2023 on the Disney Cruise Line website right now. Hope that helps.
Eric have you been on this ship?it looks amazing I have no idea how this ship can make money when all the food is free. There is so much to do you would need a weeks cruise to see it all. How many days would you recommend people to book for cruise?
I haven't been on the Wish yet. The inaugural voyage will happen in July! So they are working on the finishing touches on the ship now. And Disney Cruises are costly but in all truth for how much Disney Hotel rooms cost at Disneyland and Walt Disney World plus the cost of food and park tickets... I kind of like that the cruise has those main costs all included. Currently the Wish is only doing 3 or 4 Night cruises, but some people book "Back to back" cruises. where they go on a 3 and 4 nigh cruise making it feel like a week. I'm currently scheduled for a 4 night later this summer. (The longer the better so that is why I went for 4) Hope this helps.
The two adult restaurants Palo and Enchante are both an additional cost. The main dining rooms (Like Worlds of Marvel or 1923) are not. Thanks for watching.
Yes they will have fireworks one of the nights on each of the 3 and 4 night cruises. I'm assuming that will be associated with Pirate night but I don't believe they have officially said yet. But there will be fireworks.
As a cast member my wife, friends and I had the opportunity to go on the pre-Maiden Cruise from Germany to New York to train the staff of the cruise ship before its maiden voyage. This was a great opportunity and that's how the staff is properly trained for the public. Now that I'm retired from Disney I'm trying to figure out how to get on the training mission for the Wish any idea?
Hey Davo - The Disney Wish will begin sailing with guest in July and it will be leaving from Port Canaveral in Florida. It will be going on 3 and 4 night Cruises to the Bahama's. And to book reservations on the Wish you can go to the official Disney Cruise Line website, or if you have a Travel Agent that you like to work with they can usually help. Hope that helps :)
Hey Amber, the Oceaneer Club is for those 3 -12, and "Edge" is for those 11-14. So if someone is 11 or 12 they can go to both of those locations. Vibe is the club for 14 - 17 year olds so in that case 14 year olds can go to either Edge or Vibe. I think Disney's thinking is not wanting the oldest kids in the younger groups feeling trapped with the younger kids and activities if they have more in common with the older groups. Hope that helps.
Thank you soo much for this I’ll be going on the Disney wish in August we are so excited I hope I can see more videos on it this will be our first Disney cruise so I’m still learning do you know if they will have pirate nights or marvel avenger night how do I find these things out? Thanks in advance💖
From what I've been told they will have a Pirate night on the Wish. For those on the 4 night cruises I believe they will have a special menu for pirate night and the deck party, on the 3 night they will have the deck party but no special dinner. They won't have a Marvel night, but when you have your dinner in Worlds of Marvel they will have a special Avengers show that night. Each guest will get to experience it but it will be on different nights. To help prepare check out my video on Disney Cruise room service: czcams.com/video/vI1xi0SAY0o/video.html and my video about Castaway Cay: czcams.com/video/w9ExFpSMfnQ/video.html Hope you have a great time!
The images that they have shared show several of the pools have handicap access with a chair lift so I'm assuming the answer is yes on most of the pools but I'm not sure on all of them. Hope that helps.
On deck13 they will have most of the concierge rooms and the private concierge Sundeck, and it looks like they have either a hot tub or little pool there. It's hard to tell from the deck plans. Hopefully we will know more soon.
If this is referencing the main restaurants/dining rooms they have gluten free, dairy free, vegetarian, vegan, and low fat options. When you book your cruise (or prior to leaving) you can put any dietary restrictions for each guest on your reservation and then your main server will help you with those items while onboard.
Are they still recommending mask and covid shots? My family and I have done 8 Disney cruises. We love them but not wearing a mask or getting the vaccine to get to go on it.
Hey Moon Girl, as of March 11th Disney had relaxed the mask policy. So I believe masks are only required in a very few locations for example for Guests under 5 years of age who are currently ineligible to be vaccinated... They will be required to wear face coverings in Youth Activity spaces and in the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique but not other areas. Vaccines are still currently required for those 5 and up. And all guests are tested before boarding the ship. As of right now Disney hasn't announced any end date to this policy, but that it can be changed as the situation improves. Thanks for watching.
I just realized that the Chandelier in the main hall resembles the skirt on Cinderella's dress! Beautiful.
Good eye Nicolle! Such a fun detail! Can't wait to see it all in person. Thanks for watching.

Sailing mid September. Can’t wait!
Thanks for the video I’m interested in Star Wars themed bar
The Star Wars themed bar does look like a lot of fun. Thanks for watching Gina! Hope you are doing well!
