Do you like kids? Our first cruise was on Disney Magic. I think about half the passengers are kids 12 or under. The food on Disney cruise is not that great. The lunch buffet was not bad but the dinning room food is about as good as any chain restaurant.. maybe not even as good. The specialty dinner was good, but I think on Magic there is only 1 specialty dinner restaurant, Palo. I asked other cruisers about the food and they all pretty much said Disney cruise food is among the worst. But they do have free soda and ice cream all day long which I think is not common in cruises.

Entertainment on Disney cruise is mostly geared toward kids.. I mean it is a Disney cruise after all. We enjoyed them but probably won't go by ourselves if we were not with our kid. And a lot of the activities and games require you to have watched the popular Disney channel shows on TV. Even though we are Disneyland season pass holders, our kid doesn't know any of the answers to the trivial games they have on the ship.
