Panama Canal Trip Report: Day 1

disney cruise panama canal

I admit I am not really a spa person (there are just so many other things I would prefer to spend money on) but my husband really wanted to see it. I knew the girls would be super bored (they were) but I was a good sport and went along. I was worried about the spa ladies playing the “hard sell” game but they really didn’t. I felt funny taking photos inside the spa because it was really crowded, but you can click here to see photos of the spa on the Dream. Once on the west coast and for a short time, Disney Wonder will cruise a series of itineraries from San Diego to Baja, Mexico. When the Alaska cruise season begins in very late spring, Disney Wonder will cruise north to Vancouver, Canada where the ship will homeport for the summer and complete a season of Alaska cruises.

Personal Navigators: Disney Magic 14-Night Westbound Panama Canal Cruise from Miami – October 5, 2023

My oldest is 12 so she could go to either the Edge tween club or the Oceaneers Club/Lab. Even though we were pretty sure she would not end up going to the club/lab, we got her a wristband just in case. A youth counselor also told us that because of the small number of children on this sailing, our 1o year old would be allowed to go to the Edge as well (normally reserved for year olds). Personal Navigators, and other details from the Halloween on the High Seas 14-Night Westbound Panama Canal Cruise from Miami.

Day 13 – October 17, 2023 – Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

Here you can explore the beautiful beaches or take in the natural wildlife on the land or in the sea. You can also learn about the history and culture of this location by touring Cathedrals. This port of departure has plenty to attract tourists and entertain.

The Disney Magic set sail from Miami, Florida on October 5, 2023. During this cruise, the ship was under the control of Captain Robert Olmer. Personal Navigators, and other handouts from the  14-Night Westbound Panama Canal Cruise from New Orleans to San Diego.

Day 14 – October 18, 2023 – At Sea

3D paper crafts – I had no idea what this was either, but saw a session that featured Oswald and wanted to go. And yes, we made a 3D paper figure of Oswald, using the printed sheets provided as well as glue dots and scissors. (The hardest/most time-consuming part was cutting out the pieces.). Most of what we did is available on the family.disney.com web site – I used a Google search of “disney family 3D paper oswald” to find it after I returned home. Here I also noticed the fewer number of people onboard because there were several empty tables around us and I have never seen this on a prior cruise.

Day 2 – October 6, 2023 – At Sea

I have since reviewed our experience there which you can read about here. She is very much into clothes, hairstyles and accessories so this was going to be right up her alley! I had reserved it for the second formal night, which was actually the Monday of the following week (not the next day) which I am surprised they did not specify on the invitation. Several people noticed and commented on it throughout the day. I totally dropped the ball on our Disneybounding game this cruise, although my husband and 2 of the girls attempted to pull something together at the last minute. Above you have Aurora and Jasmine, and you will see my husband’s in a little while.

Day 8 – March 11, 2022 – At Sea

Here you can experience the famous South Beach and try the unique dining options in the city. If you have any navigators you would be willing to share, please send me an email. If you would rather upload the files you can use our upload form.

The space is small but very well themed and seems like a fun place to hang out. We were delighted when our server started making us napkin hats! The other 2 chose chicken tenders but I was sitting too far away to photograph them.

Day 4 – March 7, 2022 – At Sea

I do not like the color of the shirt (off-white) and may never wear it, but I still wanted to have it as a souvenir. I love how detailed and beautiful (and spotless!) the bathrooms are on the ship. We actually received an additional $200 OBC from DCL for the onboard booking since we had 2 rooms, but I forgot to take a picture.

We sat for a while and watched Tangled on funnel vision while we finished our ice cream and then went back to the room to see if any of our luggage had arrived. It had, so I started unpacking in the hour or so that we had until the safety drill. At this time we met our stateroom host, Greg from the Philippines. He was awesome and we really grew to love him over the next 14 days. If you love sea days, and we do, then this is a great itinerary.

There is snorkeling, scuba diving, swimming with dolphins, or watching for whales (seasonal). There is hiking, biking, and 4-wheeling through the jungle. Here you can explore the city and find the Spanish colonial heritage in the modern locale.

I am a mom who loves all things Disney, but especially Disney Cruises! I enjoy sharing everything I have learned and hope that it will help others plan their own vacations. On February 25th, guests were informed the originally scheduled call in Grand Cayman would change to a day at sea.

The 2,712 passenger Disney Wonder set out on the historic Panama Canal crossing from Port Canaveral to San Diego on a 14-night cruise.

According to various reports, the Panama Canal Expansion project is slated to be complete and operational by April 2016. The following infographic is a not to scale, modified depiction of the World canals created by the US Energy Information Administration with the addition of the Disney Cruise ships. I only did a few of them, and never did very well, but it was still fun. This was also a “Halloween on the High Seas” cruise with the added bonus that we were on board on the actual day of Halloween. It wasn’t specific to the Wonder, but included information on all of the main stage shows on all 4 ships. Here are some pictures of the shirt, pin and magnet that I took after we got home.

According to the Disney Dream technical information sheet, the air draft of the Dream/Fantasy is 188ft which is under the 201ft limit imposed by the Bridge of Americas. The only flavors available today were chocolate and vanilla. If you would like to start this trip report from the beginning, click here. As it stands today, the Disney Wonder’s next scheduled and bookable sailings is Friday September 24, 2021, a 2-Night Baja Cruise from San Diego.

This is a regular activity on the longer repositioning cruises with our instructors, Willem deVries and Natalia Lind. We were seated at a round table for 6 pretty close to the center of the restaurant, but a bit closer to the starboard windows. She has never been to a Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique before in the parks or on a ship and she was very excited!
