Disney Wish: Review of Stateroom 12526 (Concierge One-Bedroom Suite)
Sailing aboard the Disney Wish is an experience in itself, but staying in a Concierge One-Bedroom Suite elevates the voyage to an entirely different level. For travelers considering splurging on concierge level, a one-bedroom suite offers a compelling mix of luxury, comfort, and convenience—along with a few design quirks worth noting.
When my family sailed on the Wish, we stayed in stateroom 12526. From the moment I stepped into our suite, I was struck by how bright, elegant, and modern the space felt. Disney has clearly moved away from the darker, more traditional nautical styling found on their older ships. The Wish’s staterooms embrace a lighter color palette, sleek lines, and layouts that feel both upscale and functional.
Why Cruise on a River?
River cruising offers an unparalleled travel experience, blending the ease of all-inclusive travel with intimate access to the world’s most beautiful and historic regions. Like any unique travel experience, it can bring up a lot of questions. How long does a cruise typically last? What amenities can you expect on board? What’s included in the price?
Why You Should Take an Expedition Cruise
What makes an expedition cruise different from a regular ocean cruise? Ocean cruises typically feature large ships, bustling ports, and a focus on entertainment and relaxation. Expedition cruises, on the other hand, utilize smaller vessels to reach remote locations, emphasizing exploration, education, and close encounters with nature.
Swan Reserve: Serene Luxury in the Heart of Walt Disney World Resort
The Walt Disney World Swan Reserve is the perfect hotel if you’re seeking luxury at a great value and want to be well-positioned to visit the Disney parks. It’s also a fantastic place to stay before or after a cruise from Port Canaveral. In fact, my family stayed for one night at this recently-built, modern hotel prior to our cruise on the Disney Wish. We loved our spacious suite and the serene ambiance of the hotel (we never found it to be crowded).
