[quote=Anonymous]They will accommodate pretty much any requests for kids' foods. Because your waiter rotates with you to every restaurant, we usually tell them on the first night what our kids want to eat for the rest of the cruise, and it is ready when we arrive every night.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you don't like crowds that much -- I suggest you avoid Disney cruises.  Our rooms were great.  Our staffperson was great.  The rest of it was -- meh.  Food at the evening restaurants -- not good.  I'm not looking for 5 stars... I'm looking for freshly made and served (like you'd find at a casual restarant would be fine with me -- Unos, etc.).  What we got was just not good.  I think they plate about 300 servings and leave them under heat lamps for an hour or so... dried out, lacking sauce.  Limited choices for kids (unless your kids eat steak and grilled salmon).

There is only one spot on the ship that makes chicken nuggets -- you would think this would be on every menu or buffet......since this is a kid-centric cruise.  Take note... the only place with nuggets is the grill on the pool edge.  Also, the only time milk is readily available is breakfast.  If you want it for lunch or dinner, you will have to find a staff person and they will have to search high and low in the kitchen to find the milk.  I find it really odd that there isn't a gigantic milk spigot in the lunch buffet area.  It also was not on the menu at dinner, but they will get it for you.

The pools are T-I-N-Y in relation to the amount of people on the ship.  Think about the size of your kitchen.  maybe double it.... that is the size of the pool for about 2500 people.  To me, it was kind of dangerous b/c there were too many people in the pool and more jumping in.  The crowding in the kids club was dangerous in my opinion too.  They never turn kids away apparently, so it was sheer madness in there.  We decided it wasn't safe (my kids were about 7 and 9 at the time, so they weren't little, little.)  No way would I have left smaller kids in there when it was so crowded.

Shows at night were good.  The scavenger hunt on the ship was good.  Movies were not as kid-friendly as I would have liked.  Malificent was the big one when we went and I thought that it would be too scary for my kids at that time.  That was mainly what was being played in the theater, so we never went to a movie.  I would have expected more options that were not so scary.

We enjoyed biking around the island.  Again -- CROWDS on the beach of the island.  Hope you are ready to fight for some space.

For us, it was a lot of crowds.  A lot of money.  And it just wasn't worth it.  We would have been a lot better off and enjoyed ourselves much more if we had just gone to a resort where we would have had more beach space, more pool space, fresher food, more options for restaurants, etc.  It wasn't worth the hype at all.
