Director of Entertainment Operations Christiaan Abbott took a minute to provide a closer look at recently enhanced Disney Wonder.
From the French Quarter Lounge, where the wonderful world of Princess Tiana comes to life, to spaces exclusively built for adults and teens in the Cove Café and Vibe, several areas on the ship were reimagined and are delighting families as we speak!
Vibe
Cove Cafe
French Quarter Lounge
Have you been on the Disney Wonder to experience the enhancements? What did you think?
I get why they created the French quarter lounge, but as someone who has cruised with a toddler, we used the Toddler Time area at the end of the Promenade lounge on a daily basis.
From my understanding, that area has been moved upstairs on Deck 4 into the D-Lounge, so on evenings before dinner now you have to take your child completely away from where everyone has traditionally gathered prior to the dinner seating up on a non MDR deck so they can play and you can sit and have NO one to talk to other than other parents who bring their toddlers up. Real smart DCL! NOT!
I enjoyed the French Quarter Lounge and especially the hurricanes but only when the musicians were not playing. When they were playing it was too loud to have any conversation at all. I didn’t even want to be in the lounge at that time. I don’t remember the previous musicians being so loud that you couldn’t talk to each other when it was the Promenade lounge.
Hands down this was our favorite spot to just spend time. From art classes over beignets and coffee, to live jazz and letting loose, we absolutely adored the French Quarter Lounge. Aesthetically, this area just exuded that Disney level of detail. Can’t wait to experience it again!
Unfortunately the footage that DCL used for Vibe is from a Dream class ship.
They also used b-roll of Ooh La La from the Fantasy.
