How much is Disney Cruise Line's most expensive suite?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- Aboard the Disney Wish, the fifth and latest cruise ship operated by Disney Cruise Line, is a single room that you can purchase that is almost three times larger than the average Los Angeles apartment. This two-story suite is a staggering 1,966-square-feet and includes two main bedrooms, a children’s room, four and a half bathrooms, a dining room, wet bar and a library. You know, the usual things that you might need on a three day cruise. That’s not including the chandelier, a spiral staircase, 1,000-thread-count sheets, and a private elevator to access the suite.

To give some context on how absurdly overpriced this room is you can book Royal Caribbean Internationals ultimate family suite which has its own movie theater and an entire indoor slide for 30,000 dollars LESS than this Disney suite
It’s NOT just the MEGA-suites! My wife and I have our 30th coming up next June and we were pricing out Alaska cruises…The June 9th cruise on the Wonder, in a Veranda suite, was Nine thousand bucks for seven nights…The same type of room (only bigger!) on Royal Carribean’s Ovation of the Seas, which is TWICE the size and has Far more restaurants, lounges, and fun stuff to do(Flow Riders, Bumpers Cars, rock climbing walls, Indoor Skydiving!) WAS ALMOST SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS CHEAPER AND WE GOT TWO EXTRA PORTS OF CALL (Sitka and Victoria, B.C.)…We we’re actually able to afford AN ENTIRE SECOND CRUISE, AN EIGHTEEN NIGHT BUCKET LIST CRUISE from Sydney Australia to Honolulu (with stops in New Zealand and Tahiti) FOR THE SAME PRICE AS ONE WEEK ON THE AGING TINY DISNEY WONDER!! Yeah, Pretty easy choice!?
@@edvaira6891 happy anniversary to you both...you are going to have a blast.. what day do you embark
I took Royal Caribbean, because their ships are just better and larger and have more to do. Disney is just so overpriced
OH My.
Yup.
Bright Sun Films did a great on-board dissection of what's wrong with the Disney Wish. No matter how bad you think that this boat is, it's probally worse in a way you didn't even consider it could be.
This review also seems to just regurgitate the same points BSF originally made. No original work done really.
The very fact that the woman in charge of this entire project not only had never been on a cruise ship (even a non-Disney one) before BUT ALSO OPENLY ADMITTED THAT TO THE PUBLIC tells you all you need to know about Disney as a company today. They don't care about your qualifications or previous experiences. They don't care what the guest feedback is or if you've even listened to it. All they care about is how much money you can make them. Which leads to things like the Wish which is a glowing example of ignorance in action from a design perspective and tarnishes the Disney brand. It's like if Louboutin did a colab with Crocks. You will never be able to look at a pair of red bottoms as "luxury" ever again because it cheapened the brand. Every single thing that has come out of Disney since just before the pandemic hit has been their Crocks, cheapening the brand and making me genuinely question why it was ever my happy place to begin with.
We live in Orlando and I can honestly say we no longer give a flip about the Magic Kingdom and Florida, feels the same which is why the governor has done away with Reedy Creek Improvement District and Disney will now have to become regular tax payer like everyone else! We went on the first Disney ship and it was awesome and the attention to detail impeccable but move forward to their next ship and the experience had become generic! We are surrounded by Disney but because of their change in their original values to the current woke values, Disney is off our list along with many other Floridian’s. They shifted from quality, value, perfection to that of a low quality but high cost no frills discount retailer like Kmart and look where Kmart is now… almost extinct!
@@tr4309 what is woke?
Woke is, liberal ideology influencing the teaching of history in schools and coursing through corporate diversity training, any teaching that could make students feel they bear personal responsibility for historic wrongs because of their race, color, sex or national origin or using diversity practices or training that could make employees feel guilty for similar reasons. Woke is cancel culture!
@@tr4309 “woke” is being a decent human being who cares about the well being of the people in yoir community because of their differences. I would much rather be woke than have the entire planet be wiped out in nuclear winter which is the path your side is currently on.
@@KassMcCormack Well aren’t you a presumptuous person. What side am I on? I can tell you that for one god teaches me to “love thy neighbor “ and I do care about other people, even misguided souls who want to think that I am to blame for the sin’s of past societies and that I should make reparations to current day folks who actually didn’t suffer those sins of the past by societies of the past, yet they want to benefit out of my pocket for something I didn’t do and something they didn’t suffer from all the while trying to erase the history and culture which we as educated human beings use to learn from so that sins of the past are not repeated ! So based upon your statement, am I to assume you are one of those folks who want reparation though nothing was done to you by me? Though I did not ask you for your opinion, you are entitled to it however, you are not entitled to judge me or anyone else! That is a privilege only god can utilize! So how dare you sit in judgment of me or anyone else! Live and let live, love and be loved all while being an educated, good human being.
Yeah, I’m at the point with Disney that despite having small children that would enjoy a disney cruise, I’m not prepared to pay double for less than I can get on Royal Caribbean. We’re also skipping the parks for a while because I don’t enjoy having to meticulously plan every minute of the day. “Sorry kids, no spontaneous fun in this theme park, the wait time is 80 mins for everything otherwise”. The vibe that Disney doesn’t need my money but is trying to get more of it is coming across loudly
Yeah, the "planning every minute of the day" is exactly what we had to do going to Disneyland this year to do ANYTHING. We had to rope drop every single day, and this was in the off-season. It's insane. We definitely won't be going back for a long time.
I agree! I went on a Disney Alaskan cruise in 2016. It was great but I feel like I checked that box and don’t need to do it again. Too expensive. I have cruised on Royal Caribbean and Norwegian Cruise line, and I loved both of them.
We took our kids on the Norwegian Epic and the first thing my 12 year old said is “wow this is so luxury” lol and the kid’s amenities and clubs were superior! Our kids were treated like Royalty and so were the adults! The cuisine was superb and the perks and freebies offered were awesome! Kids in the same cabin sailed free except port fees and taxes, free wifi, free adult beverages free excursions. Norwegian knows how to treat their customers!
I respect that in mother's who can budget and realize Disney is just way way overpriced. Good on you there are soo many better things to do.
If I do visit Disney it will just be for the roller-coasters.
To have those kinds of windows in the suite and overlook a bar/the deck instead of the ocean is so incredibly ridiculous
I think one of the biggest issues is calling an amenity free of charge. It’s not. It’s a benefit that was included with the price of purchase. I think the idea that inclusion is the same as free is the executive mindset that’s leading to all these changes, and they’re going about it the wrong way. At Disneyland, nobody would bat an eye if they made food and merchandise a bit more expensive. Nobody would see it as a previously included thing being taken away. It would be the price of Disney magic. But when you remove an inclusive part of the experience and start charging for it, it becomes obvious that the customer experience isn’t a priority any more.
Very well said. Feeling the constant upsell pressure nowadays at Disney just doesn't feel magical at all. Disney is ruining their core value proposition. What a shame. Right now they are living off of the goodwill they built with past generations, but there will be a very bad awakening for Disney once the next generation of customers comes of age, for whom Disney is just one of many soulless mega corporations.
Yeah, the location of the suite baffles me, too. If I'm paying for that sort of experience, I want a suite that looks out over the rear of the ship with no obstructions and no possible way for anyone else to see me.
Was on the Disney Wish last month. I've cruised every DCL ship now and I immediately started comparing the Wish to the other ships. Once I stopped comparing, I started liking the ship more. She's not the same as the others at all. She's entirely different which is hard for those of us that got used to the others to embrace. New Disney cruisers seem to fall in love instantly because that's all they know and that's likely the point. The Tower Suite is absurd, however. If you're sitting at the adult bar, you can see straight into it if they have the blinds open (and they did when I was there). It's obnoxious. I wish they'd turn it back into a club for teens.
Waiting for The Tim Tracker to eventually stay in this suite 😂
That dude is a complete clown 😂
@@FOOM1011 yeah he easily overhypes things
I just got back from the Paris Studios - Avengers Campus was very similar to the Disney Wish.
Sure, it was good for the worst Disney park on the planet, but nothing compared to what Universal is currently opening.
Catering mostly to the rich seems like a good idea but it really isn't in the long run. Disney trades on people bringing their kids to their parks to have the experience that the parents have fond memories of. When you price non-rich people out of the market, they don't have that incentive to visit. Over the long run that can only lead to a decrease in attendance. There just aren't that many millionaires running around to sustain big visitor numbers.
Despite the fact that I could afford a Disney cruise if I wanted to, and I have small kids, the value proposition is just awful. I can take 2 - 3 cruises with Royal Caribbean or Carnival in a balcony cabin for the price of one Disney cruise in an inside cabin. Maybe 10 years ago, it would seem like you're actually getting a lot for the extra cost, but now it doesn't feel remotely worth it.
Looks like such a beautiful cruise
I'm sorry, we are huge DCL fans but that line has priced itself beyond all reality. This is especially true if you are 2 people sharing a cabin; your huge fares are underwriting the cost of the kid programs. Pre-covid, we did 2 weeks in a suite on Princess for almost exactly half the cost of one week in a balcony cabin on the Disney Wonder. True, I like DCL better than Princess, but the suite perks were lovely and no way is DCL worth 4 times the price. This is especially true on a location that is all about wildlife and scenery, not about the ship. DCL is more attractive and has better entertainment. My new favorite cruise line is Virgin Voyages. I'm tired of parents who don't control their kids on DCL Virgin has the best food of any line I've sailed (we've seen DCL food go better and worse thru the years), NO KIDS, and lots of stuff for adults to do--even old, someone conservative ones like me! Best of all, the Trans-Atlantic on VV in a balcony cabin was less than half the cost of the same length TA on DCL. No, my choice of cruises is not all about price, but DCL would have to give me a very good reason to pay what they cost!
How the high and mighty fall.
Disney have 100% made the same mistake as Virgin Voyagers
And not hired cruise ship designers to design a cruise ship
And considering how important sight lines are in a park
This “oversight” is an obveious cash grab
Kinda getting Galactic Starcruiser vibes
Its truly remarkable how many areas the Disney Wish completely dropped the ball in terms of practicalities. Its seriously crazy. Great video giving a solid overview of how it reflects the Disney company as a whole.
Honestly, if you’re a family who really loves Disney than this is perfect for them
I understand that we’d have to pay for the Disney experience but a world cruise in an interior stateroom is $35000
Even though the concierge state rooms are now more expensive, the materials used inside the staterooms make it worth more. With all the gold taps, chandeliers, handles , shower-heads etc. and the marble flooring, furniture etc make it so much better than the old staterooms on the Disney Fantasy, Disney Dream etc. which chose to use wood for the concierge staterooms and just made it look not special and really, really old. The Disney funnel suite may have the design issues with people being able to look inside but if you put up the white curtains instead of the main brown ones it will still let in a lot of light. Everything inside of the funnel suite makes it worth it and you even get a special door straight from your suite to the top of the slidasoura-rex which is basically a fast pass so you don't have to wait in line. Overall I would say the concierge staterooms and the funnel suite room makes it 100% worth it.
ReviewTyme can yo do reviews of Amusement Park's Halloween Events Including Knott's Berry Farm, Universal Studios and Six Flags.
I literally left on the Disney Wonder for a 7 night cruise the day this video was posted. It's a great ship that serves well for any class passenger you are. I'm sure you'll enjoy your time on it.
Anyone that can afford a $50,000 suite already owns their own yacht.
You could charter a yacht with crew, for $50K a week!
Disney is trying to step into the luxury market without providing luxury services even though the industry is also filled with services that provide more than enough better options. Someone who can drop that money on a suite can already afford much better vacation options elsewhere. Disney's bread and butter has always been the middle class, edging on upper-middle class. No one with decent money will look at this and think it's a good deal. And for most people it's priced out of their price range. So it's just going to be useless empty space on a ship at sea. You know, where making use of every inch of space possible is quite important.
@@TheOnlyBongo I think it would be a cheap way to enter the Indian market, where there are no Disney properties.
@MisterAMC 117 I mean it’s about how you save. My dad is barley middle class and he can afford cruises. But he doesn’t do Disney obviously, he’s never been a Disney guy. You can book them 2 years in advance and pay it off before it and like casinos if you go so much they will give you deals
This is NOT Disney, this is CORPORATE disney. The Disney that honored Walt & Roy's vision, who understood that it was a business, but as Walt said "it was all started my a mouse". It meant not to get so high handed that you forget what brought you and built you. He also said (I'm paraphrasing here) give the guest more than they expect and the money will take care of itself. Corporate disney doesn't believe or adhere to either of these ideal, nor do they allow any original ideas. It's push IP and what can sell merch. BTW way, I checked and for the same itinerary that we went on the dream, RCL was FIVE TIMES cheaper, yes that did include their private island as well. As far as the "disney difference"? Bad food, horrible service, almost all items broke or had "techical difficulties, even had a flood of water down the stair cases, with the buffet fan so loud and bad it was making the ceiling wobble. There's more but that's just a sample. I'll NEVER be back. Premium brand my foot! Maybe it used to be when DCL started and BEFORE Mr. Cheap-ek, but no longer. Pay more get less. Unless of course you're very well off, then corporate disney wants you, they just tolerate us "unfavorable mix" people! BTW that's a quote from Mr. Cheap-ek amongst others like it when he refers to anybody who isn't in the top tier incomes. So, if you think that as a Disney fan, Disney loves you, forget it unless you're rich and can dump a TON of dollars on them, repeatedly and often!
Disney is reallying going downhill here... A suite for that much, for only 3 to 4 days?!? Why not spend that much for one on land?
I think we could restore a lot of equity to society by launching torpedoes at these.
Why not face the windows to the ocean? Just because of that it should go down 10K$ or more.
FYI: 50k can let you cruise with RC for 275 days around the world.
I'm just waiting until Universal releases a Harry porter - Despicable me cruise ship for like half of the price and double the benefits
(Let's manifest that this happens)
I managed to get a room on the wonder for next year and I’m so excited! This will be my first ever cruise!
Ever since Bob Chapek took over as CEO the company has been going downhill rapidly and their guest satisfaction and sales numbers are reflecting this, meanwhile because they are inflating their prices and cutting corners at the lower tier levels their revenue evens out and because they are getting more and more wealthy people in the door their stock market shares are rising, therefore they are not seeing the bigger picture, if they continue this business model that it will not be sustainable from a parks and resorts perspective.... now at their core Disney is an entertainment company and the parks and resorts were and have always been a side project BUT it is ultimately what they are better known for... right now they have perfectly positioned themselves to be overtaken by Universal and that has not gone unnoticed. We are seeing a shift and role reversal where Universal is focusing more on their highly detailed animatronic based dark rides and less on Screen rides... and Disney has done the opposite. Disney makes their fast pass system a premium paid service and Universal started including theirs for resort guests. Disney focuses on small expansions while Universal has opened 1 new Park, building a new Park and an expansion.... Until Disney pulls their ears out of their butts they will end up like the mighty icarus and fly too close to the sun.
Beside the new ships that just came out. Why would you pay 3-4 times more for ships that is older than more other cruise lines. They interior rooms cost more than a junior suite on RC.
The Wonder is an amazing ship! My family and I have cruised many times on her and are big fans. Take any of the calssic 4 DCL ships and you'll get that awesome detail and nautical nostalgia.
Wow, didn’t know that was the “view” for the suite in the funnel. If I could afford that I would have been disappointed.
That virtual porthole would be a deal maker. I'd gladly cruise on an older ship with those than a newer ship without.
Catering to a growing elite class instead of the shrinking middle class makes sense honestly from Disneys perspective
The Wonder is a great ship, you'll probably have a great time on there.
“Too big to fail” yeahhh welllll
Was hoping you were going to mention the disastrous launch of the Australian sailings. Would love to know what your experience was like getting tickets for one of the Sydney dates and were/how were you able to get through? Thanks ☺️
I think that Disney in general is looking more like “if you can’t pay, we don’t want you”. Everything is so much more expensive, on a ridiculous level. And making people pay for thing that used to be included just gives it a “Disney is only for the wealthy” vibe.
I think the current CEO even said something to that same effect
I don't care about Disney, theme parks, cruises or grossly capitalistic experiences. My idea of a vacation is a cheap hostel in a very far away city. But I like listening!
It is so sad..
In the future we will see two new areas in Disneyland:
Richland with limited acces only for wealthy people.
And Poorland for the rest of us with seats and screens to see how the first class people enjoy the rides and the shows..
They are creating two guest categories every day more differentiated. The ones who can afford the magic at the parks and the other ones who can afford the churros..
I’m tired of the Cheapek era, just waiting for the epic universe and if i can afford it I know at least the attention to the detail and the magic will be there.
This video was due on Friday in the US! You are late! I will forgive you guys this time, but don't let it happen again!!! 😉 (You guys are great! I hope this channel continues to grow! Keep up the amazing content!)
Hopefully they can improve on the next 2 ships
As someone who has no children the Disney cruise isn’t really anything I’d be interested in but seeing the most expensive suit on the ship with all of its windows facing public area like that would be infuriating to me.
The lack of a hot tub and balcony is what would bother me most about that tower suite.
Not surprised. You can see the pricing structure of the parks changing as well smh
i wonder why we don't have a disney cruise here in Japan, also, i noticed your channel's tags mention nothing of Disney, you might want to update that so the algo can find you guys easier.
Even frequent cruisers don't book the most expensive rooms. So this is NOT a fair review.
6:30 You don't know how they maintain, repair, and/or refurbish their ships. (Hint: of course they maintain them because they want them to last as long as possible, please passengers, and pass requirements.)
And according to people who've actually been on cruise ships who've filmed themselves on their ship(s), i doubt you have, there was never a complaint that any part of the ship seemed not maintained or not-kept.
Believe it or not, despite having some old ships, their entire fleet have advanced sewage treatment systems which aren't required for them to have, which most other cruise lines rarely have. So they pay to properly handle waste, not pollute the environment, unlike most cruise lines that discharge waste directly into the ocean.
Ship age is meaningless as long as it's maintained properly. Newer ships simply fit more people and push their passengers more to spend $ inside the ship. If you were to lookup how much a new cruise ship cost, they're billions of dollars, you'd know.
It's not like a car.
Believe it or not, many frequent cruisers actually prefer older ships because you get e.g. better views, more space,...there's overall less emphasis on squeezing more passengers onboard and to push those passengers to stay inside the ship and spend $ than on older ships.
And half of Disney's fleet are relatively new ships, e.g. their Disney Wish newest ship just started ~6-months ago.
And you can get upgraded free of charge to better rooms.
Disney ships are US flagged ships. To be a US flagged ship there's strict and expensive requirements that must be met:
The ship must be built in USA.
The crew must be US citizens.
When you have an all US citizen crew that also means you have to pay them a decent wage and at least the US federal minimum wage rather than the wage of a foreigner from a country with lower average wage. (What's often done on regular cruises.)
Many things are included on Disney cruises that are not with other cruise lines: free ice cream, unlimited soda, and not just any soda but the more expensive Coca Cola line soda.
There's no casinos on-board which means there's less revenue being generated, unlike regular cruises.
The service is VIP.
Performers are broadway quality.
Rooms are bigger, have more features,...
Room service is included,...
Overall there's a lot more quality and much more included.
so which is it, a single room or a two story suite with two bedrooms, a children's room, four and a half bathrooms, a dining room, wet bar and a library?
Meanwhile Carnival has stopped the free P&J sandwich..... 😲
Screw Disney. That is all.
I think you are dead on about their priorities. I just wish it mattered and I don't believe they care about the voices of their lifetime fans. I grew up near Orlando and have been to WDW hundreds of times literally, and I went back in Feb and I don't care to go back for the foreseeable future. For now Universal and even SeaWorld will get my business. It is sad.
YAWN!!! Who cares about Disney anymore. Tell us about Universal and the new Orlando park.
$50,000 for a room whose windows face a bar, has no balcony, and is on a ship that only does 3day cruises...What a joke....WTF Disney.
I love Disney movies but I would never set football in a Disney Park. You can just burn your money to get the same value. I rather do a Euro theme Park Tour where I can visit at least 3 parks for the same price.
We can dream right 😮😮
Yeah, I don't get why the best suite on the ship doesn't have the best view on the ship.
Add this to the list of everything that Disney is trying to soak the average vacationer in 2022…..appealing to that specific audience again….you know…the rich ones
Book our Sydney to TAS 4 night around $4500 Aud 😅 in the cheapest room this is probably the most expensive holiday we ever been to.
Disney Tax similar to Apple Tax
Who in their right mind would pay for a sweet without ocean views or a deck? Oh but don’t worry: the few windows you have look right onto the deck. Or shall I say, they look right into your room. This suite is a complete failure
I love cruise ships but too expensive
Why pay so much when majority of your time is spent outside of the room?
Iklan ini apa maksudnya...?mereka siapa....?
Disney isn’t Disney anymore their parks and their ships are way too expensive now
Paying all that money only to spend your vacation crammed into what is essentially a floating cattle car with a buffet. No thanks.
The Disney Wish is the cheapest looking Disney ship. Personally, I think its ugly and has an absolutely horrible and confusing deck plan. Its bland, sterile, and lacks the charm and magic that the other 4 have. Disappointing.
The view is so bad lol , terrible planning

Disney is of the past and do people still even support them or go on this way overpriced garbage??🤣🤣🤣🤣
Going on cruises are pointless you just eat sleep and repeat they give you barely anything you can book a Disneyland trip for the same price and enjoy the theme parks or go somewhere else that is nice it's ripoff
Borrinnggg
I can waste my money somewhere else.
