We're boarding the Disney Wish cruise ship! Join my friend Kieran and I as we begin our three night Bahamas sailing aboard Disney Cruise Line's newest and biggest ship, in the added luxury of Concierge! Check out the Concierge lounge in this vlog, get a full room tour of a Concierge Family Oceanview with Verandah stateroom and get a whistle stop tour of the ship.
I'm Adam Hattan, a family-friendly theme park and cruise vlogger from the United Kingdom, who often vlogs the magic of Disney Parks. I love going to Walt Disney World, Disneyland Paris, Disneyland in California and sailing with Disney Cruise Line. I'm excited to be sharing this magical Disney Wish vlog series with you!
In this Disney Wish Embarkation Day vlog, Kieran and I awake in Walt Disney World's Riviera Resort, a Disney Vacation Club resort. Here, I give you a room tour of a West facing Deluxe Studio (8713). From WDW, we take the Disney Cruise Line transfer to the dedicated Disney Cruise Line terminal at Port Canaveral in east Florida USA. The round-trip cost for this transfer was $80.00 pp. Upon arriving at the port, we head to the Concierge check-in desk, and are then escorted to the new and expanded Concierge Lounge.
Upon boarding the Disney Wish, we enter the beautiful atrium, otherwise known as the Grand Hall. Not only that, Flynn Rider and Rapunzel are there to greet us too! Our first stop is upstairs to the beautiful Concierge lounge. Here we give you an overview of the lounge's layout, check out the outdoor seating on deck 12, tour the self-serve drinks and food offerings, as well as the outdoor lounge on deck 13 with hot tubs, lounge chairs, sofas and Dole Whip smoothie on-tap! From there, we pop into the Oceaneer's Club via the atrium's slide, before enjoying a Concierge lunch at 1923 (Walt).
It's then to our Concierge Family Oceanview with Verandah stateroom (12518), located just a few meters from the Concierge Lounge on Deck 12, Forward. We give you a full stateroom tour, showcasing the split bathroom layout, the Tangled/Rapunzel theme, the storage space throughout and some of the extra things you get in a Concierge stateroom.
As this is Kieran's first Disney Cruise, we of course had to do a ship tour to introduce him to the Disney Wish. We explore the upper decks and the DCL funnel, the adult only spaces (including Cove Cafe and the Smoking Area), Wonderland Cinema, Luna, Fairytale Fresh Laundry, the Grand Hall, Promenade Deck (including the bow of the ship, Senses Spa and Rainforest Room, Hook's Barbery, The Rose Bar, Palo, Enchante and The Walt Disney Theatre during our 'back to normal' muster drill.
When it's time to 'Set Sail on a Wish' we head up to Deck 12 to enjoy the sail away party! I pretty much share the whole show to give you all the Disney magic feels. The show features Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Goofy, Pluto, Chip, Dale, Rapunzel, Flynn, Prince Charming, Cinderella, Moana and Fairy Godmother herself! Our cruise director then come's out to start the countdown to the Disney Cruise Ship horn!
Sailing out of Port Canaveral aboard the Disney Wish, we get to hear several of the ship's horn songs, including 'A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes', 'Do You Want to Build a Snowman', 'Be Our Guest', 'it's a small world', 'Hi-Diddle-Dee-Dee (An Actor's Life For Me)' and of course 'When You Wish Upon a Star.'
Our evening show was Seas the Adventure, followed by dinner at 1923 (Roy). We enjoy a fantastic meal, including appetiser, soup, main (entree) and dessert. From dinner, we head to Luna to enjoy the adult's only entertainment of Match Your Mate. After that, we're officially beat, and head back to our stateroom to find some turn-down magic and find our Kieran's first impression of being a first time Disney Cruiser.
There's three episodes in total with this series, including a stop at Castaway Cay that sees us rent one of the Cabanas on Serenity Bay! Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss a thing!
