We are a family of 4 - myself, DH and 2 boys (13 and 7 at time of cruise) and we have never been on a cruise. I'm looking at a November cruise if we decide not to visit WDW again this year.
The Wonder 5nt cruise out of Miami seems reasonably priced but I am concerned because it's an older ship. We usually prefer booking newer resorts.
For those that have recently been on the Wonder, what can you tell me about that aspect?
Other things important to us are the entertainment onboard (the evening shows), the quality of the food and also the pirate night (younger DS has asked specifically for that). Does the 5nt Wonder have the Pirate night? The kids clubs are also relevant. I'm not sure how much time our kids will actually spend there as this is our first cruise and usually we like to all stay together on vacations but I would like to know our options.
Our other cruise option is the 7nt Magic Eastern Caribbean for $1200 more than the Wonder. Are we better off just booking on the Magic?
Note: For the same week, the 7nt RCI Oasis cruise is about the same price as the 5 nt Wonder but I know my kids want the Disney experience and the Disney characters which is the only reason keeping me away from any other cruise line.
Any help/advice/suggestions are welcome! Thank you.
