I couldn't wait to board. The ship appeared to us from the posh tour bus like Oz appears to the weary travellers in the movie, huge and stately like the luxury liners of the past. Both outside and in was every bit as grand as the company advertised. Normally, cruise passengers will stay at a Disney resort and do the parks for a couple of days, then go to Nassau, then to Castaway Cay, Disney's private island, but we were going right for the latter. Fine with me.
Passengers often report that cruise ship staterooms are about the size of a can of olives.
Disney's are quite a bit larger and much more stylish than the norm. The luggage I had checked, however, wasn't there as promised. When You Wish Upon A Star at decibel levels. I certainly wasn't going to miss out on tan time for lack of apropos swimwear. Many staffers were warm and empathetic, making it easier to be stuck in the Atlantic with only the clothes on your back.
