Disney Cruise, "Wish" 4-Day Bahamas from Port Canaveral, Sept. 11, 2023. My first Disney Cruise and it was amazing, so much fun and entertainment. Ship large, very beautiful, elegant and resembles a Castle. On board kids, adults dressed in their favorite disney movie characters such as princess, Frozen, Black Panther, Spider Man, dependent on the theme for the day. Recommended for families especially with small children. Disney cruises are priced higher than others, but cabins larger and have categories with 2 bathrooms, tubs etc. to accomodate families. Ship has Adults area wth hot tubs, pools, multiple theaters and restaurants with theme nights. Suggest you Book at least 1 year in Advance.

Guest singers included: Michael McDonald, Vanessa Williams, Avery Sunshine, Niki Haris, DW3, Take 6. NON STOP fantastic music and entertainment. I'm pictured with Avery Sunshine who is a amazing singer! Theme Cruises such as The Smooth Jazz and Soul Train Cruises are fun, affordable and you can book a year in advance.
