Disney Wish Cruise First Experience

My very first cruise trip in life was dedicated to the Disney Wish🛳️
Although it was only a short four days and three nights, the entire journey was full of ceremony and fairy tale vibes. From the moment of booking, the official app showed a cute countdown screen, making me excited even before departure.

🌈 Day 1: Boarding & Exploring the Ship of the Park
I recommend choosing the earliest boarding time. Once on board, head straight to the 11th floor for the buffet lunch. Around 1:30 PM, the luggage will be delivered to the room, so you can rest a bit before heading out!
Don’t miss the open Kids Club; the facilities are thoughtfully designed, even adults will envy😍
The heated pool on the deck and the lively snack area (pizza, burgers, tacos, BBQ, ice cream, drinks) are all free and unlimited, so save room!

🌴 Day 2: Nassau Small Adventure
After arriving at Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas, we chose a free exploration mode and casually strolled around the pier and Atlantis Hotel. However, due to rain and the beach not meeting expectations, I actually recommend staying on the ship to enjoy the facilities on this day since time is limited. Making the most of the cruise experience is key!

🏝️ Day 3: Dreamy Island Castaway Cay
Early in the morning, the cruise docked at Disney’s private island, Castaway Cay, which only hosts this one ship per day. The environment is super clean and the facilities are well organized.
I joined the island’s hidden activity, the “5K Run,” which requires no registration and you can just join directly. After finishing, you get a limited edition medal🏅!
After the run, I showered and changed into a dress, then spent the afternoon enjoying the beach, snorkeling, and the BBQ buffet lunch under the sun. I didn’t want to leave at all~

🍽 Onboard Dining Tips
Breakfast/Lunch: You can choose between the 2nd-floor à la carte restaurants or the 11th-floor buffet. We chose the buffet all three days—quick and delicious.
Dinner: The app assigns fixed restaurants and seats—
1️⃣ Marvel-themed restaurant: with Spider-Man table interactions!
2️⃣ Frozen-themed restaurant: with theatrical performances~
3️⃣ 1923 Restaurant: vintage and elegant, a formal dining experience.
Every night brings a different surprise, with fresh ingredients and consistent quality. Highly recommended!

🛏 Accommodation Experience
We stayed in a balcony room. Although small, it was fully equipped with a separate wet and dry bathroom. The housekeeping was very attentive and even folded various towel animals🐘.

🎭 Super Rich Onboard Entertainment
Every evening features themed shows, with Aladdin night being the best! During the day, Disney movies are played, and you can meet and take photos with classic characters in the atrium.
At night, there’s also a Pirate Night party plus fireworks at sea🎆, creating an amazing atmosphere. Everyone receives a Mickey-style pirate bandana!

Limited space here, but I have more tips & details to share. I’ll write a detailed post for everyone when I have time📒
In short, this Disney Wish cruise trip truly brought me back to childhood and left me with endless fond memories❤️
