We booked our first ever Disney Cruise for November 7 night Western Caribbean in November 2018. The stars aligned and we have the funds and the time off to do an Alaska cruise in May 2019. The family all wants to do a Disney Cruise on the Wonder (we have never cruised before), but I am wondering if we should try something (gasp) non-Disney because we will have just done a Disney Cruise. Note we are going to Disney Land in 2018 and World in 2019.
Here are my key considerations:
- My son is 6 and has Down syndrome. I would like somewhere he can enjoy. I know he will LOVE Disney characters and the kid’s club, but might not be able to go alone. Royal Caribbean sounds like they can accommodate this.
- I will have a 9 year old and 11 year old who will want to be together in a kid’s area.
- We also will have a 2 year old. No babysitting required for her, but I want her to have fun.
- My 11-year old wants characters
- I want to experience Alaska. I would love a naturalist onboard who can point out birds and teach us about Alaska.
- We need a lot to do for kids on the cruise, but want things the entire family (2, 6, 9, and 11).
My family is sold on Disney, but I am wondering if it will be redundant having just gone - not to mention we will have inside staterooms and could do balcony on NCl or RC for the same price. Any advice?
