I had the great privilege and honor to be invited on The DCL Dude podcast to discuss our recent Royal Caribbean cruise to Alaska onboard the Ovation of the Seas. Wes and I discussed our itinerary, some of the amenities on the ship, dining, and then did a comparison versus our August 2013 sailing on the Disney Wonder.

During our recent sailing on the Disney Wonder in April 2019, we got selected by the head pastry Chef Vivek (with the help of our favorite server) as his Magical Family of the voyage. Each night, Chef Vivek and the pastry team sent a special plate of dessert to our table to enjoy.
During a recent Spring Break cruise on the Disney Wonder, we went to check out the fitness center. The fitness center is located on Deck 9 all the way forward. You have to go through the Senses Spa to get to it. Use of the fitness center is included in the cost of your cruise. You can also use the showers and locker room as well if you need more space to get ready than is available in your stateroom. Note, you must be 18 years or older to use the fitness center.
Once you are onboard and enjoying a Disney cruise, you might want to find a way to get right back on board. Disney has an onboard bookings desk right there on the ship. If you book onboard, they will offer you a few perks. The first is an onboard credit to be used next time you sail ($100 for cruises less than 7 days, $200 for cruises 7 days or longer). (UPDATED – As on 10/1/2019, any placeholders booked on board will no longer receive this on board credit) The second incentive is a reduced deposit for cruises 7 days or longer (requiring only a 10% deposit instead of the usual 20%). The last discount is a 10% reduction in price for *MOST* cruises. Disney has started to black out that 10% discount on a lot of the popular cruises (for example, Spring Break, Christmas Break, and special itineraries). Also, the discounts do not apply to concierge bookings.
