The pools on the Disney Wonder do not allow swim diapers. Besides the Goofy Pool there is the family-friendly AquaLab pool on Deck 9, aft (the back of the ship). There’s also the adults-only Quiet Cove Pool on Deck 9 forward.
Spend all your time indoors
For 2 of the 3 days in port we opted to return to the ship for lunch rather than sitting down at any of the restaurant in town. We enjoyed eating at Triton's restaurant on the ship and appreciated the sit down service. After lunch we easily returned back into town for more exploring and some of our group opted to stay on the ship. In one port, we did see a group on a ship come back right at the designated sailaway time, which I'm sure would have been extremely stressful if they'd been traveling independently. Disney Alaskan cruises are extremely popular bucket-list vacations.

You've made it, and you don't want to let anything get in the way of enjoying your cruise. No matter how many times you've cruised before, you might be shocked at how much planning you need to do for an Alaska sailing. Get these things wrong, and you might miss out on your big Alaska cruise experience. Two competing companies have staked out even larger claims in this modern-day, maritime Alaskan gold rush.
Activities and shows
Finally, there is laundry service available onboard ($$$), but we were fine using the machines. The pools are heated, though once you’re far enough north you’re probably only going to be able to stay in them so long. Even Zoe, a pool fanatic, hit a limit within about 30 minutes on chilly days. Standard protocol is to tag your luggage (they mail you the tags ahead of time) and drop it off with cruise staff somewhere in this process before boarding. The easiest way to get to Vancouver for most people is to fly there. The airport, Vancouver International Airport (YVR), is well-serviced and well-connected to the city.

Currently, Disney Cruise Line requires all passengers aged 5 years and older to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Guests who are not vaccine-eligible because of age must provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test result (paid for by the Guest) taken between 3 days and 24 hours before their sail date. Guests ages 4 and under must complete the testing requirements.
I’ve sailed everything from small-ship expeditions in the Last Frontier to cruises on Carnival, Holland America, Princess and the luxury lines. I’ve seen stateroom door décor before, but never on the scale that it was aboard Disney Wonder. Nearly every door on our Deck 7 corridor was decorated with elaborate magnets and decorations, many of which had been custom-printed just for this sailing. I joked with my wife off-handedly that we could find our stateroom because it was the only door on the corridor without magnetic decorations. Perhaps the biggest surprise, even after having sailed Disney solo and as a couple, is just how darn nice everyone is when you have a kid in tow. Other parents stopped by to offer us stickers (Disney, of course!) for our daughter.

Booking Our Disney Alaska Cruise Excursions
There are a couple photo ops before boarding Disney Wonder and it’s best to be camera ready. Every guest embarking Disney Wonder on an Alaska cruise must complete a health questionnaire before boarding. Find out more about Disney Cruise line character experiences in this article. Book a reservation time and then stand in one short line to meet several Disney princesses. On our Disney Alaska Cruise we met Tiana, Belle, Ariel, and Cinderella in just a few minutes.

You'll want to book at the peak of the salmon fishing season, from mid-June to mid-August. Ketchikan is the salmon capital of the world, and while most cruises stop there, a few don't, so make sure it's on the itinerary if you wish to fish. Celebrity, a premier-category cruise line has 57 departures to Alaska scheduled this year. The most-visited Alaskan port, Juneau set a new mark a year ago with 1.65 million passengers descending on the capital city during cruise season, which generally runs from April to late October. That figure from the Juneau Chamber of Commerce is a Denali-sized jump of 30 percent compared to pre-pandemic 2019. If I can recommend one cruise itinerary for someone to take, I always tell people, “You have to see Alaska”.
FULL REVIEW of Palo Brunch on Disney Cruise Line
I saw plenty of real tears the final night and on the morning of debarkation. At the risk of sounding like a cheesy commercial, the only real solution for this will likely be to start planning either a return trip to Alaska or another Disney Cruise ... If you feel that happening to you a few days into the trip, be ready to put that $250 deposit down on a future sailing to get the 10% discount before you get off the ship and it's too late. We loved the excursion in Juneau that included an hour at the Mendenhall Glacier (though 30 more minutes would have been ideal), whale watching and a surprisingly good outdoor salmon bake. It was expensive at $279 for adults and $199 for kids, but it was a highlight of the trip, and I wholeheartedly recommend it if those activities sound fun to you. On the other hand, you don't need to book the $800 helicopter excursions to the glaciers to have a good time (though those flights look amazing).
To board the Disney Wonder in Canada we went through a number of different checks including US customs. At first the Disney Cruise Line app was difficult to use. The interface is not intuitive to begin with but once you figure out how to locate activities it works well. Fun Disneyland Fact – Did you know that in the summers of 1987 and 1988 there was a “State Fair” event that included a Log Rolling and Lumberjack Show? The gym is at the very front of the Disney Wonder and has a wide array of fitness machines.
Helicopter and small plane tours are especially likely to be canceled or adjusted. My advice is to be flexible and not stake the trip's success on any one excursion. Booking excursions lets you explore outside the port and experience more of what Alaska has to offer.
If you have a late dinner you'll watch the earlier show and if you have an early dinner seating you'll watch the later show. Some of the offerings at the spa include a Rainforest aromatherapy room, steam room, and sauna. There are also comfortable locker rooms for changing before and after the treatment.
