Well we did our first ever Disney Cruise this past January and it was our first cruise ever. It was my DW, DS10, DD8, and DS5 and I. Now I used to say I'd never do one but my aunts and Uncles cruise a lot and talk about how much they enjoy them. One of my best friends did his first ever last year on RCCL and loved it. So I decided to take the plunge and try a Disney cruise. My buddy told me I'd be addicted after I did one. Well we went on the 3 night Dream to the Bahamas, had ports at Nassau and Castaway Cay. Kids of course loved the cruise but DW and I were both disappointed. Staff was friendly, everything was clean but food wasn't great like we'd heard cruise ship food would be, pools were so small I don't know how you'd ever use them. Now was it our fault for having expectations too high and not going on a longer cruise as we felt we didn't do much of anything on the ship? I mean we watched the shows, ate and slept and did the Aquaduck once but that seemed to be pretty much it. Also I thought Disney was supposed to send first time cruisers a couple of things but its not toward the end of March and we've still not received magnets etc. Just wondering if we were the only ones disappointed when going on a DCL cruise?
