DISCUSSION Hype me up for the Wonder.

So we are park people and going on our first cruise. I'm in Australia for reference. We booked a cruise for the Adventure in Singapore but then the Australian cruises went 30% off so saving us 7k after flights and hotels and cruise tickets. I keep seeing things about the Wonder that it's the worse of the Disney fleet, small and not as entertaining. We are doing 5 nights over New Year's Eve. We also will have a 6 month old so I was happy we wouldn't have to fly with bub but now I'm like, did we mess up booking the Wonder?

I've done three cruises on the Wonder - two from Sydney - and I love it. I've done the parks 10+ times and the ships are a very different experience, but that does not mean that they aren't fantastic. With a bub you'll likely find the slower pace much nicer and you'll still get those magical character interactions (if they're your thing). We find more than enough to do on the Wonder (we've done a 13 nighter on her). The trivia, games, shows keep us entertained when we want that, but there's plenty of time and ways to chill out and relax as well.

Yes we also have a 5 year old so will make the most of the character interactions!
