Bonnie,

Our kids and grandkids sail the Disney ships often. They all love them. My wife and I have only done one Disney cruise (without kids), the Magic in the Med. We thoroughly enjoyed the ship and the itinerary. It was great to hear "When you wish upon a star" on the ships horns as we were sailing away from Malta. Also very few kids on that cruise. We'll always look fondly on that cruise and itinerary. My wife got to visit the Italian town where her grandmother was raised.

Currently, we are booked on the Statendam in November for a 42-day cruise from Ft. Lauderdale sailing to Aruba, through the Panama Canal, Mexico, Hawaii, the Polynesisan Islands and disembarking in San Diego. It's our first cruise on HAL, and I hope we won't be disappointed as there are lots of sea days. We're going to places that are on our bucket list. We'll write a review when we return.
