Disney Wonder Mexican Cruise

[wendlle]

HI Everyone. I feel like I haven't posed in so long due to the pandemic - not many trips when I live in Australia!!

We are planning a trip to the USA in November - a quick trip to the west coast before our big trip back next year in May to Florida.

We are looking at a 5nt Mexican Cruise from San Diego.
We took a cruise in 2014 on the Fantasy for 7nt (eastern carribean) and loved it, it was before we had kids.
Our kids will be 4 and 6 at the time we travel.

My questions are:
What will the weather be like then?
Will we be disapointed with the Wonder after being on the Fantasy?
We can only afford an Ocean View porthole room - will this be ok for 4 people?
Do they have bingo and other activities on the Wonder like they did on the Fantasy?
I know my kids will love the kids club so just wondering what there is for myself and husband to do as the Wonder seems like a smaller ship.

Thanks for any and all advice. I really appreciate it all.

We love the Wonder. Lots of activities....bingo, trivia, arts & crafts, family games, shows, movies.

The room should be fine with two little ones.

I'm not sure what ports are on the Mexican Riviera. We just sailed up the coast (WBPC). Cabo was very nice, especially San Jose. Puerto Vallarta did not impress us but maybe it was the excursion we chose.

Thank you so much, we are pretty happy with the current price so think we will book. I'm so excited, it feels like 2019 was so long ago. I need my Disney

San Diego has the "almost perfect" climate (lived there for 3 1/2 years). We did the EPBC again last November and as Travel60 said it was a great trip along the Mexican Coast and the Wonder has plenty of activities.

We've been on all four ships but Wonder is our "home" ship since we live on the West Coast. We're about to go on our 6th cruise on the Wonder in a couple of weeks. As far as activities, there is plenty to do on the Wonder. I find it's easier to navigate across or get where we need to go since it's smaller. It doesn't have the Midship Detective Agency like the Dream/Fantasy but I find that there is still plenty of do and enough for the kids to have a great time. We cruised to Cabo last November and it was 88F the day we were there. It can be slightly cooler than sailing from Florida departing from San Diego and on the return trip but it's generally great climate at the ports.
