Having been subjected recently to a cruise on Royal Caribbean, I have to say that Disney cruises are far nicer, and Disney just does things better. On Royal Caribbean, there was a constant push by the cruise line to get you to spend more money – on alcohol, art, jewelry and gambling primarily. Disney cruises don’t hit you over the head with any of that. So obviously the cruise experience is largely Disney-themed. You’ll see characters walking around and posing for photos, hear a constant Disney soundtrack, and be very much surrounded by Disney while dining.

Day 8 – June 19, 2023 – At Sea
Super Paradise Beach is a private beach club, with relaxing loungers, umbrellas, a full menu, and a peaceful beach with bright, turquoise waters. It’s also partially blocked from the intense winds that can affect Mykonos. The meal was paired with sparkling wine, white wine, red wine, and a dessert wine.
Night France Cruise from Southampton
This is a popular thing to do, so expect that you might have to wait for more than once bus. On our Disney Mediterranean Cruise to Livorno, we chose to spend the day in Florence on our own. There are guided tour options, but since everything is centrally located and we didn’t want to be on someone else’s schedule, we did it alone. This is because you don’t really get enough time in Florence and you don’t get to go inside the Uffizi which I think is an important museum to see. When visiting Livorno, you will need to choose between visiting Florence and Pisa.
About the Ports
In a Disney Cruise Facebook group, a suggestion was to ask the server to ask the cooks if they’d mind making a family-style meal from their home country. They said they’ve had the best Indian food and curries of their lives this way, along with naan and rice. We haven’t tried this yet – I feel bad that we’d be inconveniencing them – but I’ve been curious about trying it. Personal Navigators, and other details from the Silver Anniversary at Sea 8-Night Mediterranean with Greek Isles Cruise from Civitavecchia. The Disney Dream set sail from Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy on June 12, 2023. During this cruise, the ship was under the control of Captain Damir Vukonic.
Your Dream Team
If you plan on visiting houses of worship or other religious locations, you should make sure that your knees and shoulders are covered. While you can charge everything to your room while on the ship, you will want to make sure you get plenty of Euros prior to your trip for your excursions. On the return trip, the bus is even more full and can take quite some time to make the journey back. We choose to go on our own cruise excursion from Villefranche to Nice, Monte Carlo and Monaco.
While my foodie wife was fairly disappointed in the food quality, I was decently happy most nights (except when I ordered fish – it was usually really dry). My kids were nicely adventurous, going for venison, Cornish game hen, duck, and other more unique entrees off the adult menu far more often than they ordered off the kids menu. It was fascinating to see such a well-preserved ancient city, in addition to the various aspects of life in Pompeii, like the bakery, bathhouses, etc. By this point, the kids were pretty tired, but they rallied!

Disney Mediterranean Cruise Itineraries 2023
Yet if you’re a fan of the Emperor’s New Groove and Hercules, which not coincidently came out close to the Disney Magic’s maiden voyage, you’re set. We booked a two-room Concierge suite on the first of our Mediterranean Disney cruises. It came with a personal attendant who would do things like bring us DVDs and popcorn, and surprise the kids with stuffed animals. The setup of the room on our Disney cruise was nice, with a larger bathroom and a dining table, but it wasn’t worth the money. We didn’t really need the option to dine in our room, and we didn’t watch too many DVDs or eat too much popcorn.

It is about a 10-minute walk from the cruise port into Naples. Our Disney Cruise excursion took us by bus to Pompeii where we had a guided tour then on to Sorrento where we visited a local farm where we had lunch and learned how to make Mozzarella. On March 16, 2022, Disney Cruise Line emailed guests booked on this sailing that the port order will be altered.
One thing that annoyed me on both of our Mediterranean Disney cruises is that there are plenty of areas in which Disney could improve, but they don’t seem to want to hear about them. There is a “comments and feedback” form at the end of the cruise that everyone is encouraged to return, but really it’s just a series of ratings and there’s no room for actual comments. And when I asked Disney about this on their web page, they quickly deleted the comment. This post was written after our first two Mediterranean Disney cruises. My open letter to Disney cruises on what they can improve is HERE. If you do choose to do Naples & Pompeii on your own, it is easily doable.

Disney cruises do a good job of entertaining everyone, but it always looks to me like the teenagers are having the most fun on the ship. I honestly don’t think that kids under two are going to get much out of Disney cruises. Cruise Critic is not a booking agent and does not charge any service fees to users of our site.
