Royal Caribbean Ship Classes: What I’ve Learned Sailing Them All

Royal Caribbean Ship Classes: What I’ve Learned Sailing Them All By Tonya Vega, Cruise Travel Advisor in Jupiter, Florida I started sailing Royal Caribbean back in the 1990s, long before cruise ships had neighborhoods, AquaTheaters, Central Park, or waterslides hanging over the side of the ship. I have watched Royal Caribbean grow from there. I remember when Freedom Class debuted and thinking the ship was absolutely enormous. A FlowRider on a cruise ship? The Royal Promenade? At the time, it was hard to imagine ships getting much bigger. Then Oasis came along and proved me very wrong. Fast-forward to today, [...]

I’ve Sailed the Disney Wish Eight Times: My Honest Review and Who This Ship Is Best For

Kelly H Russo2026-09-16T15:05:02-04:00August 26, 2026|Disney Cruise Line, Disney News, Disney Wish|

I’ve Sailed the Disney Wish Eight Times: My Honest Review and Who This Ship Is Best For I’ve sailed on the Disney Wish eight times, including one back-to-back trip. This Disney Wish review is based on four concierge stays, four regular verandah stays, three- and four-night cruises, and trips with different people. I’ve also sailed on every Disney Cruise Line ship except the Disney Adventure. Having experienced the other ships, I better understand why longtime Disney cruisers compare the Wish to earlier ships and sometimes question its design. If you are still deciding whether a Disney Cruise Line vacation is [...]

A Perfect Day Off at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort

Kelly H Russo2024-07-28T09:33:18-04:00August 1, 2024|Disney Travel, Disney World, Resorts|

A Perfect Day Off at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort If you’ve ever visited Walt Disney World in Florida, you know it can be a lot of fun, but it can also be a VERY tiring vacation! A typical day in the parks probably begins with a 6:30 am wake-up call and ends with bedtime around midnight, with about 7-10 miles of walking in between! By the third or fourth day, the whole family can start feeling a bit (understandably) crabby, but I have a solution. Add a day to your hotel stay, but don’t add a day to your park [...]

In June 2013, our little family embarked on our first Disney Cruise Line vacation aboard the Disney Fantasy. We were surprised by the number of couples traveling without kids. At one point, I remember my husband asking “why are you sailing Disney without kids?” The answer was always “ask us at the end of the week.” In my 8 sailings with Disney, I can fully attest that their service is unrivaled. When we began to plan our 20th anniversary trip, a few “adult-only” options were discussed, but we continually came back to Disney Cruise Line. We always enjoy [...]
