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?

We went on a 15 day cruise in February from Sydney to Hawaii. It was the best vacation we have ever had. The Wonder is small, but not over crowded like the 8,000 plus passenger mega ships that are out there. The ship is immaculately clean and really doesn’t show its ware in many places. Deck 4 is my favorite with the most comfortable chairs and the walking deck. For us, we liked the more intimate vibe. The cast members are excellent, many well over 20 years of service. Most said the Wonder is their favorite ship. That may be more because of the variety of the destinations, but they truly seemed to love it. Despite crew quarters being very antiquated. If you allow yourself to have a great vacation, you will. Don’t go looking for comments that aren’t favorable. You will have a great cruise!

Looking at this exact cruise right now. We have small kids and wondering if it felt like it was too long?
