Disney Wish: Review of Stateroom 12526 (Concierge One-Bedroom Suite)

by Gunes, posted in Cruises

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 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. 

From Land’s End to the Beach in Cabo San Lucas

I was super-excited to visit Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, during our seven-night Mexican Riviera cruise on the Disney Wonder. As an avid photographer, I could not wait to see El Arco, or the Arch of Cabo San Lucas, also known as “Land’s End,” since it sits at the end of Baja California. The Land’s End Coastal Cruise and Beach Break Port Adventure exceeded my expectations and allowed me plenty of opportunities to photograph Cabo’s stunning coastline and natural wonders.

Day 8 – Disembarkation in Port Canaveral & Visiting the Kennedy Space Center: Seven-Night Eastern Caribbean Cruise on the Disney Fantasy

If there were ever a bad thing about a Disney cruise, it’s having to get off the ship. It’ even worse if you have to fly home on the same day. This time around we thought we’d soften the blow by staying an extra night in Orlando, which was a good decision on our part. For our previous Disney cruise on the Magic, we flew out on disembarkation day, and it was sooooooo depressing.

Day 7 – Castaway Cay: Seven-Night Eastern Caribbean Cruise on the Disney Fantasy

Best. Day. Ever.

When you visit Castaway Cay, Disney’s private island in the Bahamas, be sure to set your expectations high! It really will be (one) of your best days ever.

We had visited Castaway Cay two times previously (via the Disney Dream and the Disney Magic), so we were pretty pumped for a day in paradise, relaxing on the beach and in our cabana.

As noted in my previous post, we had to stop off for a medical emergency during our day at sea on the way to Castaway Cay. So, we were significantly delayed in our arrival. We originally were scheduled to be there from 9:00am to 4:00pm. We ended up not arriving until 12:30pm and were scheduled to leave at 6:00pm.
