Has anyone done this cruise? Any feedback? Is it worth it? Its on the wonder after it dry docks. Do they do pirate night/fireworks? How early can you get on the boat? Feedback ? Help
 
We've done both-- they're great! I would recommend the 3-night over the 2-night, if it works for your budget... it naturally feels a little less rushed. But the 2-night is fun and relaxing, too! Disney does a great job of condensing the events from a longer cruise. You will get Pirate Night and fireworks. Our 2-night was a Halloween Time cruise, and it included trick-or-treating and the Halloween Tree and everything.

You can board the in the afternoon on the first day and enjoy lunch or some pool time even before the ship leaves port-- just try to get an early Port Arrival Time so you can maximize your time. Enjoy!
 

The 2 night is very short. You'll be on the ship for less than 48 hours. The 3 night is often only a couple hundred more dollars.
I did the 2 night last year and we had pirate night and a halloween night. There was a lot of action on the ship. Since it was over a weekend, it had tons of kids and as such had lots of family activities going on. I think boarding starts around 12:00 noon.
 
I have done the 2-nights a few times (the last one as part of a B2B to get a full 7 nights on the ship). They go by really fast but DCL packs a lot into those two nights. I agree with the PP that if you can swing the 3-night, do that one just for the extra time on the ship. But the 2-night is still fun for a quick weekend getaway.
