Quick Mexican Riviera Review

Hi everybody. Just wanted to share some thoughts about the cruise. Now this wont be a detailed report, just a inside cover report of the cruise. The FE was one of the highlights for my kids. It was fun explaining to neighbors what are FE was and why we had so many magnets on our door. I would hear kids say "Look at their door. They are so lucky!" Learned to go to the pool right away when you board the ship. Did that and my three kids had about 1.5 hours of pool and water slide fun with virtually no crowd. We didnt do any excursions, but just hung out at the beach hotels. That was fine with us. All the workers were great. We connected and were engaging to them. Pleas be good to them, they work very hard. It was fun walking down the halls and just bumping into characters and ineracting with them for a couple of minutes. Pirate night was great. That was the single most highlight for the kids. We didnt rebook although it was tempting, and I know I will regret when, not if, we book another cruise. We decided upfront that we were going to buy the CD, so we took advantage of all the picture oppurtunities. My kids were a good sport. We had 217 pictures on my CD. Overall AMAZING. I love going to plays, and I would not have been disappointed if I had to pay admission to see the plays on the ship. I know I missed some things, but please feel free to ask any questions. My best feeling was seeing tears in my kids eyes as we left the ship. I knew right then that this trip was amazing and special to them and worth every penny. Is Disney Cruise worth the premium cost? Yes,yes,yes a thousand times yes.

It sounds like a wonderful trip--thanks for your review. Can I ask how much the CD costs? We also buy the Photopass CD when we travel to WDW, but haven't decided about this one yet.

We paid $299. No there was no limit. We checked the kiosk everyday to make sure there was no pictures missing. We even had two rooms, and they combined both rooms. I did use the same key card everytime just to make sure they were all together. If you do the CD, make sure you make that decision now, that way you take full advantage of the pictures. We decided that we would use theese as family pictures and thought it was well worth it. We did purchase 8x10's that we wanted the special WONDER borders on. Since we got the CD, we got 20 credits for $75, half the original price. We are happy with what we did.

Thanks so much for the thorough answer. We don't cruise until next spring, so we have a while to think about it, but it is good to hear that you felt like it was worth it to your family!
