This is just for fun! Please answer the questions based on
any or all of the Disney cruises you've sailed.
1. Which restaurant is your favorite? Why?
2. Which dessert is your favorite?
We have done one cruise, a 3 day, in 2003, and honestly I can't remember the food. I remember my empty water glasses 
. I didn't take any pictures of food either, so I'm guessing the food was not the "fun" part of the cruise, and
3. What's your favorite onboard activity?
Well, not much time to do stuff onboard on a 3-day, so I will have to say the movie theater. I saw Lilo & Stitch for the 6th time and we saw a movie preview. I expect to see a bunch of movies this time, because I have been purposely avoiding Disney movies at home so I could watch them on the ship.
4. What's your favorite port? (not
Castaway Cay!
)
Castaway Cay! Nassau was our only other stop on our Disney cruise, and I wouldn't call it a favorite. Non-Disney cruises, we really enjoyed the stop in Grand Cayman.
5. What's been your favorite excursion?
Haven't taken a Disney excursion, we are more "do it your self" kind of people. Non-Disney, we did an excursion in Ocho Rios because we were a little more worried about safety. Half was a stop at a banana plantation, which was interesting, the other half was climbing a waterfall, which was awesome!
6. What is the BEST thing about Castaway Cay?
Well, we didn't have the best time at Castaway Cay on our trip. We were there in February, and a cold February at that. We are used to the cold water of the Northern Pacific, so DH and I managed some wading, but it was too cold to go snorkeling. And to make matters worse, the day we were there was the day the Columbia space shuttle was lost. DH and I are space nuts (our degrees are essentially, "rocket science" so it really ruined the mood. We went back to the ship early, to see the coverage on the TV. I haven't answered the question yet, I will say the food. I remember thinking it was the best food on the trip.
7. What category room did you stay in? Would you stay in this category again?
Now, here is where we are spoiled. My Mom is a CM, so our cruise was "space available." On 3-day cruises, most people book the cheaper cabins, so the empty cabins are the more expensive ones. So we stayed in a category 5. Our non-Disney cruises, were on RCCL, the OLD ships (Nordic Prince was our first). Inside tiny box cabins, and then we went to huge room, separate couch area, veranda...heaven. We ended up splurging for a cat 5 on this trip too, because we'll be at sea so long.
8. Have you ever been upgraded?
Like I said above, we didn't know what cabin we would be in. We paid a cheap price, and got a cat 5, so that counts as an upgrade to me.
9. What's your favorite live show onboard?
We only saw the Hercules show and the Dreams show, and of those two, I preferred Hercules, the Musical. The singers were really great, and the Disney Dreams seemed a little too schmaltzy even by Disney standards.
10. What's the absolute BEST thing about a DISNEY cruise? Something that makes DISNEY stand out from the rest, even if you have nothing to compare it to!
The character connections. Honestly, the food and service was better on our RCCL cruises than Disney's. I don't know if that was because we were on the CM rate, tips were guaranteed, and so they concentrated on other tables. I don't know if just worked out that way, but on our RCCL cruises we ended up interacting with the cruise directors more too, while on Disney we felt like we were more in the background because we didn't have a 7 year old pixie or pirate (we are childless). But that seems to fade away while you are walking down a hallway and Chip& Dale pop out, or Goofy on a beach path. That is something that the other cruise lines will never have.
I have most of our cruise shopping done. DH still needs new tennis shoes, a pair of dress pants and one or two pairs of shorts. I still want to find a cute cardigan, and I need some makeup because I never wear any. And we need some new luggage.
