Disney Cruise New Orleans! This is What You Need to Know!

The Ship:

The Disney Wonder is one of the classic ships. It is one of the smaller ships in the fleet which is why this is one of my favorites. It does not feel crowded and even first time (and hesitant!) cruisers will enjoy the Wonder. It was refurbished in 2016 when restaurants were upgraded to include interactive experiences. Staterooms and common areas were refurbished as well.

Sail Dates:

  • 2/7/2020- 7 Night Bahamian Cruise
  • 2/14/2020 – 7 Night Western Caribbean Cruise
  • 2/21/2020 – 6 Night Western Caribbean Cruise – Mardi Gras

  • 3/2/2020 – 4 Night Western Caribbean Cruise
  • 3/6/2020 – 14 Night Westbound Panama Canal Cruise (From New Orleans to San Diego)

Kids Clubs and Programming:

The Wonder has dedicated space staffed with a high counselor to child ratio to entertain children of all ages.

  • The Oceaneers Club and Lab – Ages 3 to 12
  • Edge – Ages 11 to 14
  • Vibe – Ages 14 to 17
  • It’s A Small World Nursery – Ages 6 months to 3 (additional cost per child, per hour and must be scheduled)

There are themed activities offered in the kids clubs throughout the cruise and there are free play times as well. Kids can come and go and stay as long as they like (Oceaneers Club, Lab, Edge and Vibe only).

It is important to note that while toddlers will enjoy the shows and characters, swim diapers are not allowed in the swimming pools. Children must be potty trained in order to swim onboard.

What is included in the cruise fare?

Meals and snacks (even room service) and a 24 hour beverage station are included in the fare. Broadway style shows, kids clubs with supervised activities, character meet and greets, access to the pool and water slides and first run movies are included. Character interaction is great on the cruise and the meet and greet lines have super short wait times compared to the parks.

What is not included in the cruise fare?

Gratuities, select onboard activities (such as Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique), spa services, alcoholic beverages and port adventures are available for an additional cost. However, you are permitted to carry on wine, beer and champagne as described in Disney Cruise Line’s alcohol policy.
